Very professional, the best one !
Having already used the services of this company, I decided to trust them again for a second safari in Tanzania. I was not disappointed! This time I wanted to focus on crossing the Mara River. The good thing about this company is that you will be given the right information: the crossing and the phenomenon of migration, only nature decides whether or not there will be a movement of animals. Unlike big companies that sell you a lot of publicity, the Rustic team explains and suggests itineraries where you will not fail to see the many spendors of Tanzania thanks to the experience and knowledge of the guides. They will do their best to meet your expectations. I was able to see animals up close during the walking safari in the Arusha National Park, families of lionesses in Ndutu, the splendors of the Serengeti in the dry season. I saw so many beautiful things there without ever worrying about anything. Everything is taken care of by the company. We had a problem with the car breaking down in the northern Serengeti. No worries or stress. I didn't have to wait for hours on the side of the road (as I've seen before) the guide, experienced and resourceful, quickly found a plan B. I was picked up and dropped off at the hotel, the next day I went for the hot air balloon ride as planned and when I returned, a new Rustic car was waiting for me to continue my safari where I had the privilege of seeing more than one crossing of the Mara.I split my time between 2 guides: Sylvester and Mudy. They are motivated to show you the maximum of what Tanzania has to offer and pass on their wealth of knowledge. They come from the region and are REAL guides. And that's what makes the difference. You want a good guide, it's essential to have an extraordinary experience. I can compare having done several safaris. A safari is the experience of a lifetime and you don't want to spoil it by not making a good choice. You will have a more personalized service unlike large mass companies. I recommend this company with my eyes closed, don't hesitate any longer! Tanzania is waiting for you!

This company knows about human experience and above. Everything was easy from de etransfert, the transport organisation and the constant communication with Joelle and Sylvester. Everyday we were taken in charge, everything was planned to make ours vision of a safari a dream come true. We were looking for fun, adventure, beautiful landscape and we had everything And more. The lodges were high quality and affordable. Joelle and Sylvester (owner) the most fun down to heart and funny persons. They were always making sure that everyone was feeling good about the whole experience. What else could I say than just we had the chance to find the right companie to make memories for life. It was just a pure joy and Im still pinching myself for that amazing experience.

Fabulous company that does everything in its power to make your stay in Tanzania a dream come true
A huge THANK YOU to Rustic Safari for this magnificent dream holiday on Tanzanian soil. Lake Natron - Serengeti region Masai Mara for the great migration - Serengeti region Seronera - Ngorongoro Crater and its conservation area - Tarangire - Zanzibar. 12 days of fabulous safari in the company of Sylvester; an exceptional guide (French-speaking) who was able to share his love for his "kingdom" with us; to listen to us; to serve us from morning to night, and to help us discover exceptional wildlife and fabulous landscapes. Peter, our chef, was also unbelievably kind, concocting delicious dishes that always took our tastes and desires into account.
The adventure continued in Zanzibar, a marvellous island in the Indian Ocean, in a perfect establishment, while our "hero" reached the roof of Africa, Kilimanjaro.
This small Tanzanian company run by Sylvester and Joelle deserves a special recommendation; whatever your request, they'll go out of their way to fulfill it. Safari / Trek - Ascension / Spa / Activity recommendations; they have an answer for everything and take care of everything.
I'd like to finish by thanking all the "little hands" (Mama Amina - Frenga - Anjou - Rasta - Mémo - Faith etc...) who work around Rustic to ensure top-notch logistics; and your children Jaya and Myrick for making us so welcome during our stay with you in Sanawari!
This great trip will remain engraved in our hearts and memories.

Professional, friendly and fun! You're sure to have the experience of a lifetime with Rustic Safari
I had an incredible adventure of a lifetime on my four-day safari with Rustic Safari. We visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire national parks. Joelle and Sylvester were very helpful with the planning and handled every detail with expert care; once there, all that was left for our group to do was enjoy the ride! We saw an immense variety of wlldlife (my personal favourite was the elephants <3) and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative. Throughout our trip we were well fed, hydrated and our overnight accommodations were very comfortable and reasonably priced. Highly recommended! Asante sana, Joelle and Sylvester! :)

The most fantastic and knowledgeable tour operator that provided an experience of a lifetime!
This was hands down, one of the best experiences of my life. Not only the setting and the animals, it was Rustic Safari that truly made this trip a dream come true. They went out of their way to show us beautiful locations with less tourists, shared so much knowledge about the wildlife and Tanzanian culture, made us feel safe, and provided such a wonderful stay each night - with amazing food and drinks.
It was worth every penny!!! I am planning to go again and i wouldn’t choose any other tour operator but Rustic Safari.

Warm and proffesional
My wife and I had been talking about it for years and finally took the leap. Everything from the airport pickup, orientating us in Arusha and placing us with an incredible group of fellow travellers.
Our guide Sylvester was incredibly informative and had as reeling with laughter between tracking the big five. Food and sleeping was top notch glamping.
Great communication and never a moment left in uncertainty.
Thanks guys,
Tim and Celia

Rustic safari is very nice and fun and insightful
Sylvester was an excellent guide! He knew all the best spots and we saw it all! Also had some good jokes and interesting insights into the history and biology of everywhere we went. The food was good they were eager to offer a beer or more food. Exceeded all expectations!

Most amazing trip ever
It’s been over a month now that I am back from my trip to Tanzania and there is not a day that I do not think about my time with Rustic Safari! I had the best time of my life.
Joelle and Sylvester planned our trip perfectly, from the airport pickup even down to our little escapade to the Hot Springs in Moshi. My four days safari was everything I ever dreamed of and more! We had so much fun and learned so much about the wildlife. Our guide Fidelis was simply the best. We were able to go to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire. The lodge we stayed at in Karatu (Acacia Lodge) was nothing less than amazing. We were lucky enough to get a celebration dance from one of the village tribe, Irawq. We also got to meet Joelle and Silvester’s baby boy which made everything so personal and homie.
If you are hesitant on booking with this company, just do it. You will never regret it.
