Amazing trip, fantastic service and an unforgettable experience
We did a four day budget camping safari, and oh boy was it worth the money. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, all in the short time span. It was super fascinating to see all these very different national parks back to back. Even we came in the supposedly off-season (because of the tall grass), our driver and guide Stanley still managed to show us so many animals, that we almost started to get bored towards the end. It was overwhelming. A nice side effect of coming here in the low season was the low number of other tourists, especially in the Serengeti. We had many spots and animals there to ourselves which was super special.
Sleeping in the tents was really chill for us (as experienced campers). Mattresses and sleeping bags were more than appropriate. And the campsites were absolutely beautiful!
A review would not be complete without mentioning our chef extraordinaire Sule. He really spoiled us with his creations (pizza in the middle of the Serengeti!?) and was a fun companion on top of that.
We didn't pay the full amount up front (which we highly recommend in hindsight) and had some complications with our credit cards for the remaining amount. Ernest sent a representative who was super helpful and very supportive, so we managed to pay everything easily. Still, if you can: try to pay up front.

The best experience I have ever had
The safari was much better than I imagined. We saw a lots of animals traveling 700 km through mainland Tanzania. Each park was different. We saw the 5 big animals of africa. Ernest is the best guida in the world. He is very responsible, wise, well educated. He took great care of us. He showed us everything we asked for. He told us a lot about the animals, the african culture, the places, and the costums of the people. He helped us in everything. My group felt very well cared for and safe. I highly recommend this experience and the safari with Ernest!

HANDS DOWN, HE WAS AND IS THE BEST IVE EVER BEEN WITH!
It is with great pleasure I write this review for Ernest. Words can't express the feelings that my family and I were overcome by this experience. It was religious, and to share this lifelong dream of showing my family where my ancestors came from filled my heart and soul. From day one of the safari, Ernest (whom I affectionately call eagle eyes) ensured that it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We visited 3 national parks, each one more spectacular than the other. Ernest is the most thoughtful, caring tour guide I have ever dealt with. He made sure while traveling that we had cold drinks and snacks. He also isn't like the big companies, when we stopped for lunch each day, we had a warm delicious meal provided to us. We would look around at others that were on tours, they were eating box lunches. His company is definitely geared towards family. As we traveled, we saw every animal that your mind could imagine and why you came on a safari in the first place except the elusive black rhino. Each day my 4-year-old kept saying that she wanted to see a rhino, and Ernest turned to her and said I promise to do everything I can to so you can see one. Eagle eyes was true to his word. On the last day, with less than one hour left at Ngorongoro crater national park Ernest was driving everywhere to find a rhino for my daughter. Then all of a sudden, he put on the brakes and put the car in reverse and said to my daughter there is your rhino! To see my daughter light up like the sky made the whole trip worth it. Please visit Tanzania, and when you do give Ernest Magic Tours and Safaris your business. I have given all my friends and family his information, and they will use him. I have also given all his information to my family for their visit. Ernest my brother, we are coming back! Thank you for everything, my family loves and missed you, brother!
