A Family Adventure of a Lifetime
Our recent 8-day safari in Tanzania with Emnel Adventures was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we began our journey, we were met with professionalism, warmth, and a sense of adventure that stayed with us throughout the trip.
Pre-Safari Experience: Our planning phase with Emmy, our tour consultant, was seamless. Emmy was incredibly patient, answering all our questions, providing insightful recommendations, and making sure we felt comfortable and excited about every part of our trip. She customized our itinerary to meet the needs of our family, balancing relaxation and adventure perfectly. Emmy’s communication was consistent, timely, and reassuring, setting the tone for what turned out to be a flawless experience.
Arrival and Warm Welcome: The moment we landed at the airport, we were greeted by Emnel’s team with big smiles and an array of refreshments—exactly what we needed after a long flight. We instantly felt at ease and taken care of, with everything perfectly organized from the very start.
The Guiding Star: Gabriel! Our guide, Gabriel, was nothing short of exceptional. His knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and local cultures made every drive an educational adventure. Gabriel’s passion for Tanzania's wildlife was contagious, and he had a gift for making us feel both safe and deeply connected to the incredible surroundings. From the way he spotted elusive animals in the distance to how he shared fascinating stories about each region, Gabriel truly made the safari experience come alive. His kindness and warmth left a lasting impression on us, and we left feeling like we’d made a lifelong friend.
Accommodations & Wildlife Experiences: Each hotel and lodge we stayed in was thoughtfully chosen. The accommodations were comfortable, luxurious, and often perfectly placed to immerse us in the beauty of nature. Whether it was waking up to the sounds of wildlife or watching the sunset over the savannah, every moment felt magical. From the vast plains of the Serengeti to the stunning views of Ngorongoro Crater, we saw an incredible variety of wildlife—lions, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, and even a rare sighting of a leopard. The experience was beyond what we had imagined.
Emnel Adventures exceeded all our expectations. The warmth of the people, the richness of the landscapes, and the thrill of the wildlife made this safari a truly life-changing experience for our family. We would highly recommend Emnel Adventures to anyone looking for an authentic, personalized, and remarkable Tanzanian safari. Thank you, Emmy, Gabriel, and the entire Emnel Adventures team, for creating memories that will last a lifetime!

Excellent Luxury Safari with Emnel Adventures – A Dream Come True for us!
Emnel Adventures crafted an experience that was nothing short of perfection. My partner and I booked a 3-day safari in February 2025, and every detail was executed with precision, care, and a deep understanding of what makes a safari truly exceptional.
From the start, Emmy, our tour consultant, ensured seamless communication, tailoring the itinerary to our preferences while offering expert advice. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Gabriel, our guide, whose knowledge, passion, and ability to spot wildlife made the journey extraordinary. He didn’t just show us animals—he told stories, shared insights, and made every moment feel intimate and special.
The accommodations were spectacular—luxurious, immersive, and perfectly placed to offer breathtaking views of the African wilderness (a tip from us. Ask for Ngaresero Lodge for a stay in Arusha)
From sunrise game drives to sundowners in the most serene locations, every experience was curated to make us feel like we were living a dream. The attention to detail was impeccable—champagne waiting at sunset, private moments carefully arranged, and service that felt both personal and effortless.
What stood out most was the warmth and professionalism of the Emnel Adventures team. They anticipated our needs before we even voiced them, ensuring that this trip was not just a vacation but a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
If you’re looking for a safari company that understands luxury, exclusivity, and the art of creating unforgettable experiences, look no further than Emnel Adventures. This was, without a doubt, the most magical trip of our lives.
Would highly recommend to any couple looking for a safari that is personal, romantic, and absolutely flawless.

5-Day Classic Tanzania Safari with Emnel Adventures – March 2025
Our 5-day safari with Emnel Adventures was an incredible experience that exceeded all our expectations. As a couple, we were looking for a perfect balance of adventure and comfort, and this trip delivered on both fronts.
We started our journey in Tarangire National Park, where we were immediately struck by the sight of massive elephant herds and the iconic baobab trees. The experience felt intimate, and our guide's knowledge of the park made the game drives even more engaging.
Next, we visited the Ngorongoro Crater, and words can’t truly capture its beauty. The lush landscapes and wildlife sightings, including lions and rhinos, were nothing short of breathtaking. The visit to Lake Manyara was a highlight, especially seeing the tree-climbing lions—a rare treat.
Finally, we spent a couple of days in the Serengeti, where the vast plains seemed to stretch on forever. Watching the wildlife in their natural habitat, especially the zebras and wildebeests, was something we’ll never forget.
The accommodations were excellent, offering both comfort and an authentic African experience. Our guide was exceptional—personable, knowledgeable, and always going above and beyond to make sure we had the best safari possible. We also appreciated the small group size, making the experience feel personal and tailored to our interests.
Overall, our safari with Emnel Adventures was an unforgettable journey that we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for an authentic, well-organized, and genuinely immersive safari experience, we highly recommend Emnel Adventures.
