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.

Good organization, with experience and very kindly staff.
We booked the safari at the same hotel, Hotel Aquiline, in Arusha, with a guy called Leonard. He indicated all the possibilities for a 3 days safari. We visited Tarangire Park, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara. And it was great. We saw lions, elephants, jirafes, buffalos, and so on...And we slept two nigths at a very confortable campsite.
Our experience was really good.

Beautiful once in a lifetime experience
I did a 3 nights and 4 days safari with my boyfriend. We had a great experience visiting all the main tanzanian parks (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater). Thanks to our guide we were able to see all the big 5 and lots of other animals. All the accomodations were great and the food was good.
Notice that all the accomodations will be booked after you do the first payment, so there may be some changes.

Amazing expirience you need to do but you dont know to do
I spent a 4 days safari with my girlfriend. We had an experience that we don't expect. We visiting all the biggest tanzanian parks (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater). Thanks to William (our guide) we were able to see all the big 5 and lots of other animals. All the accomodations were characteristics and welcoming.
The only things it's that one accommodation change after the first paymant. The others are perfect.
Thanks to Bryan of Aquiline to organize this with us, answering all we have need.

He was rather a quiet person but attentive and very nice.
Brian briefed us very well and kindly before the tour and we felt that we had all the information we needed. The safari was beautiful, we had time to see the Big Five and so many other animals and we were given background information about them. Ngorongoro was a great experience! The only negative aspect was the pick up and arrival at the hotel. We didn't really leave on time and arrived several hours late because the drivers had changed without us knowing. This is perhaps important to know so that you don't plan on continuing your journey for the day. You should not take the times so precisely, but rather be flexible.

Solid, but not punctual
Overall it was a good tour. We saw a lot and got minimal hints an explanations about the animals we saw. The organization wasn't great the drive back took way longer than expected and we did a a lot of stops were the driver changed in the middle of the night. That was a bit annoying.
