Great
Had a great tour! Organised through New Aquiline Hotel in Arusha. Organised the night before and went on a 1 night two day safari!
Brian organised everything and was super great and helpful and even went to the length of organising a bus when we got back to travel to the airport in Dar es saleem. (Too long of a bus ride, not Brian’s fault)
Brian was fantastic so ask for him when organising a safari. Very helpful and transparent with information.
Jeff was our safari guide and we saw lots of animals, even lions feeding.
Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic company!
Well organized.
They arrived on time, took into account wishes for the route and additional activities, and helped with the search for souvenirs. They were attentive and polite. They told interesting facts during the tour, helped with photographs and the best places to photograph animals in the park.
Thanks a lot for such amazing tour!

Aquiline is a wonderful, accommodating and helpful safari tour operator in Arusha
Aquiline went out of their way to help me get to my one day safari to tarangire. Wonderful day with great people, knowledgeable guide and beautiful scenery and animals. They can help you with any of your safari needs while in Tanzania.

Nice Experience!
We booked a day tour with John to the Materuni waterfall with a visit to the coffee plantation and then a visit to the hot springs. The whole program was very easy to do in one day. Our guide Enock picked us up from the hotel together with Brian and drove us to the locations. Enock accompanied us on all the tours and explained everything really well. He is a super friendly and likeable guide who really enjoys his job. The visit to the Materuni coffee plantation was our highlight, we made and drank our own coffee together with the Materunis. All in all, we had a really great day and a lot of fun with Enock and Brian.

Smooth safari experience for an excellent price point
Despite being one of the most inexpensive safari offering for the Ngorongoro Crater from Arusha on this website, everything went smoothly. Booking the safari worked quickly and reliably via Whatsapp with the provider. The pickup and drive to the crater with the other participants was seamless and the guide was generally knowledgable. We had a great day in the crater and I would recommend Aquiline again.

Good value for money
My boyfriend and I had a great time on this trip. Everything was well coordinated and organized for us. The only thing we wish we would have known is that since the national parks are located far away from each other, there is a significant amount of time eaten up by traveling. So when they say “2 days in the Serengeti”, this is actually 2 half-days so about 8-10h of game drives total. It may sound like enough but it sometimes takes a while to spot animals since the area is very vast, so the more time spent in one place the better. If we had to redo it I would have chosen to visit fewer parks (Serengeti and Ngorongoro) and spend more time in those. In the end, we were able to see only 3 out of the Big 5.
The organization could have been a bit better since we shared a Jeep with another family that had a different itinerary than us and finished one day earlier. Because of that, we had to leave the park early (around 11am even though we supposedly had a full day to spend in the Park) which was not really fair to the rest of us who were staying longer. We ended up back at the hotel at 2PM with nothing to do. With that said, when we complained the tour company was accommodating and arranged for some small activities to fill in our time. They were also very responsive on WhatsApp.
My boyfriend’s birthday fell during the trip and the company arranged to have a surprise cake delivered after our hike to the waterfalls, which was a very thoughtful touch.

Responsive and cost-effective safari and Zanzibar tour operator
We took 5 day safari with waterfall trip on the 6th day, overall it was a unique experience with the highlights being the Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti plains, where you can see vast variety of nature and animals. We saw lions with fresh prey twice but missed leopards or cheetahs - it's a game of luck. We decided to take a less costly option and share our car, which made planning more difficult, the biggest nuisance being the commute to parks which are quite far and having our time limited by others' arrival or departure. I would recommend focusing on 2 not 4 parks to spend as much time as possible tracking animals. The accommodation, hotel, lodges were good, the driver was experienced. Spending nights in the parks under a tent and with animals close was an extra special experience. The tour organizer made sure to make us feel special with a birthday surprise and was very responsive over the phone.
Our relax time in Zanzibar was smooth with door-to-door drives, the hotel was very pleasant and surprisingly not busy. Overall we were lucky to spend time on safari and by the beach for a very reasonable price and I would recommend everyone doing it if they can.
