The tour operator was very helpful and eager to provide us a posivite safari experience.
We had a lovely and life-changing safari experience with Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris. I felt like I was in a National Geographic documentary observing the animals in their natural habitat. Our guide and driver was eager to share his knowledge about the fauna and flora we were encountering. He made sure we would have a positive experience in collaboration with our safari consultant, with whom we were in contact anytime we needed anything.
A very positive fact that I would like to mention is that when I forgot a gift at one of the lodges of the park and when I realised it we were already heading out of the park, the managing team back at Arusha made every effort to find and transfer the gift back Arusha (where we were heading to) on time. This was a precious moment for me as I didn't lose the beautiful object I had bought as a souvenir and it is not a given that everyone could have done for me.
In general, the tour operator made sure that everything was rolling smoothly for us. Also, when an accommodation happened to be overbooked they managed to find us another lodge, which happpened to be super luxurious, which we were not expecting of course.
This was a shared safari with 4 more people apart from my friend and I, and it turned out very fun and comfortable.
I recommend the Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris. Our guide and driver tried to take us everywhere and see all the animals possible. Final point is the selection of lodges within Serengeti park, which were an experience by themselves and really very nice and cute.

Novatus was the best tour operator we could have asked for! Always available and very careful
Definitely a once in a lifetime experience! Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris was a great fit for us. They took care of us on a 360 degrees, from the WiFi, to the SIM card, passing by the pick up and drop off, plus any clarification we needed during our 4 days safari.
Amazing experience, start to finish
My husband and I had the best experience, from booking until the end of the safari experience. Novatus was so communicative, responsive and helpful throughout the entire experience; which was important for us being unfamiliar with going on a safari. If we get a chance to do another safari, we will 100% book through Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris.

Bucket list safari experience
I am a solo traveler and booked a group joining safari with Tanzania pilgrimage. I was nervous at first with it being a new company with not many reviews but all my fears turned out to be unfounded. Not only, did Novatus answer all my numerous emails he personally picked me up from the airport on my first day in tanzania. Out of all the safari companies i reached out to on safaribookings i chose Tanzania Pilgrimage because Novatus was never pushy or rude in his responses about a quote. The safari overall was excellent, i saw all the animals that i wanted to see, the food was always good and the accommodations with the exception of one was great. The group I was placed with were lovely people and I enjoyed their company. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another safari with them if i’m ever in tanzania again.

Excellent, super friendly and service above and beyond!
This is my first time visiting Africa and booked a 4-day Safari with Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris starting from Arusha. Coming from Australia, it is a long way away and I had almost no African experience, nor knew what to expect. Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris were excellent in every way. When booking the tour, they were extremely responsive, courteous and thoughtful, accommodating to my questions and needs, tailoring the experience for me regarding where I wanted to visit and appropriate accommodation for my budget.
They were also able to arrange seamless pickup and drop-off for me from my Kilimanjaro airport to my hotel, and the next day pick up from hotel by a highly experienced Safari guide for my trip. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and felt safe and welcomed throughout.
Lastly, and most extraordinarily, my departing flight out of Kilimanjaro airport was cancelled and was re-scheduled to an earlier flight which didn't work for me. I was notified in the middle of my Safari and not speaking Swahili nor know who to contact, I needed urgent help. Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris was able to communicate to various airlines on my behalf and ultimately re-accommodated me to a flight that worked for my itinerary. This was done free of charge with utmost professionalism at a time that was highly stressful for me.
Their safari prices are also good value for money, but ultimately their responsiveness, reliability and professional + friendly service makes them the most excellent company I've toured with.
Highly highly recommended.

Incredible safari, great tour company and good communications
After extensive research and consideration, I decided to go on my first-ever safari with Pilgrimage Safaris in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and I have no regrets. From the very beginning, the communication with Nowatus was fantastic. He was extremely helpful and always made sure to organize the best tour for me. Nowatus is a kind and trustworthy person, and I had the chance to get to know him a bit better during a ride to Moshi right after my safari. I'm happy to support him through my booking, knowing the money is going to good hands, which was important to me before booking my safari.
I opted for a budget camping safari, and it was an incredibly thrilling experience. I was fortunate enough to see all of the Big 5, which is not always guaranteed. Our guide, Zuma, was undoubtedly one of the best guides in Tanzania and made sure that we had a truly unique experience. As a solo traveler, it was important for me to be part of a great group, and Nowatus did an excellent job placing me with an international group that grew very close over the three days. We had so much fun together, and I'm grateful to have shared this unique experience with them.

Great service and professionalism | 4-day Safari
Very competent staff and available to answer all our questions before and during the safari (over 30 emails exchanged with Novatus!). They had the best proposition among the four Safari agencies I was in contact with. We were welcomed by Seith and Novatus who showed us around Arusha the day before our departure. Our driver Mariki was also very competent and experienced, and we were lucky enough to see all the animals we expected to see! The accommodations were all very good, and the food provided for lunch on Safari days was excellent every time. I can only highly recommend Tanzania Pilgrimage Safari.

Novatus is a great manager and our driver Mariki was an experienced guide which was a joy to be around for four days. Great people, will recommend
