Excellent 8-day camping safari. Guide Amos is an absolute treasure!
We did an 8-day camping safari with driver Amos and cook Moses in December 2016. Itinerary included Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Empaakai Crater, Serengeti, and Lake Natron.
While this was not a luxury safari experience (nor was it priced as such) it was an absolutely unforgettable trip with truly incredible wildlife viewing. It has been said here by others, but guide Amos is truly special -- incredible skills spotting wildlife, such that we had one intimate up-close encounter after another throughout the trip. Amos' jeep seems to be one that other safari drivers follow around to see the good stuff. Amos also has comprehensive knowledge of the wildlife and is generally very good company. Moses was a friendly and capable cook -- we especially enjoyed the more traditional Tanzanian food he cooked for us: A plantain curry was a particular standout, as well as roast chicken that appeared in a few of the lunches. Breakfasts were good too.
If I were to do it over again I'd probably skip Empakai Crater in favor of another day of game viewing. Also as feedback for Safari Multiways I recommend they upgrade their tents and provide a slightly larger tent for 2 people, and provide warmer sleeping bags or extra blankets for the cold nights up on the rim of Ngorongoro crater.
Having said all that we would highly recommend Safari Multiways and Amos in particular, and would love to explore more of Tanzania's game parks with them if we ever get another chance.

Wonderful experience on Northern Circuit Camping Safari with Amos and Moses
My husband and I traveled on an 8-night camping safari with Amos, our driver and guide, and Moses, our cook, and the experience far exceeded our expectations. We had an ambitious itinerary that included a lot of driving, but we were grateful to have been able to see the parks we did, all different and special in their own ways. Amos asked us what our favorite place was, and that's an impossible question to answer-- was it Tarangire, where Amos spotted a leopard in a tree (in more heavily trafficked parks he was often the first guide to spot something amazing, and other cars/drivers would follow him, like in this instance) and where a lioness got too close to a baby elephant causing his mother and other elephants in the herd to trumpet in alarm? Or Ngorongoro Crater, where Amos spotted a black rhino, which we watched charge across the crater floor, animals scattering out of his way; and where we saw not one but two prides of lions hunting buffalo? Or the Serengeti, which is so vast and stunningly beautiful, and inside whose gates we saw a cheetah who'd just eaten a baby zebra (which Amos magically predicted we'd see-- another instance when his animal-sighting gifts seemed otherworldly), which a golden jackal then devoured; and where we saw more leopards, including a mother with two tiny cubs; and where we saw a serval hunting (not sure how Amos spotted this, but he did!); and where we saw lionesses returning from a failed hunt to more than 15 cubs who had been hiding in the grass and emerged to shock us with their number? Amos and Moses are kind, professional, wonderful people and I'm thankful to them for their role in making this a trip we will never forget. I dream of going back to see more. Asanta sana to everyone at Safari Multiways!

Excellent! Amazing guide and amazing trip!
Safari Multiways was above and beyond expected! They made our trip so easy for us. They set up all our stays at nice lodges, took care of park fees. All this was included in our safari package. Our driver/guide Amos was wonderful! He was patient with us if we wanted to stop and look at animals longer and his eyes were like binoculars! I was amazed at how he could spot animals so far away! We got lucky because of him and saw the big 5! He even taught us how to take a picture with our phone through our binoculars! He was very knowledgeable about the parks and all the animals! Best trip we've ever taken!
Highly Recommend
My boyfriend and I embarked on a five-day safari booked through Safari Multiways. Our guide Kappia was very knowledgeable and great about managing our expectations (which were more often than not exceeded!) Our first day in the Serengeti we saw the Big 5 before noon (although the rhino only from a great distance.) Kappia even spotted a serval lying down in tall grass while driving. The accommodations ranged from good to great. Overall we were very happy with the trip.

First safari experience
This was my first safari of my life. I was always fascinated for going on a safari after watching wildlife shows in NatGeo and Discovery. Safari had always been on my list.
I was new to the city and didn't knew where to approach for a safari trip. Then a friend of mine recommended me to go for Safari Multiways for a lifetime experience and truly it was!
The package consisted of two days and three nights package for Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Our first day was a visit to Tarangire National Park. We were greeted by Omari. He was extremely polite and friendly guide. He picked us from the hotel in Arusha. It was a 3 hours long drive to Tarangire.
3 Hours later, we entered Tarangire National Park, the land of Elephants. As safari was in progress, I couldn't believe that it was real. The special moment was the chase!
In day 2, we reached Ngorongoro Crater. It was nature at the best. The best moment was lion passing right beside our jeep. I will never forget this moment in my life!
The hotels and its ambience was excellent. Kudos to our guide Omari for making this safari a memorable one.
Beyond expectation
Safari Multiways is responsive, accommodating and understanding. I have to change flights and dates so many times, Romeo is always there listening, revising and re-scheduling even down to the last hour before departure. The safari tour itself is amazing. Our tour guide Lawrence knows his way around animals and parks. Our cook Vincent ever caters to our taste. The two of them ensured our well-been while showing us the beauty of Africa with all it offers: animals, Masai people, savanna and the crater etc. My sister and I get to live six unforgettable days in our lives, all thanks to Safari Multiways and Lawrence and Vincent.

We had a great safaritrip, but there some points to improve
The communicatie before we came to Tanzania was good. Paying the bill with their payment system is costly
(10%). You better pay with your own bankaccount.
We did the trip with basic camp. It was very nice to camp in the national parcs, and Fanakacamping was good. Multiways didin't have good chairs compared with other company"s. Also the tents smells stale. Multiways must improve this points.
The Management of Serengetiparc en Gnorognoro crater didin't clean there buidings on the campings very well. It was very dirty. We abhors that. This problem must be solved by the Management of the Serengeti and Gnorognoro and all the safaricompany's from Arusha must tell this to the management. That is the only way to achieve clean buildings.
But the guide of Multiways -safari was our best man. We had the best places to watch the animals. We have seen a lot. We had had a great safari. Also the food was good.

Great tour through Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire
We did a 5 day camping safari with Safari Multiways. We got perfect communication by email with Romeo. He replied very fast to any question or anything I asked for, so I had a really good feeling in advance. This was topped when we where in Tanzania. Airport transfer worked perfect, we talked to Romeo the next morning and shortly after the safari starts with our guide Amos and the cook Moses. The two guys are a dream team. Amos spotted every animal we wanted to see and Moses cooked really really good food!
We saw the great migration and a lot of cats and other animals. All in all it was the perfect trip and we will think and dream about this for our whole life. Don't think twice - DO IT!

Great value for money
We went on a private 7-day camping safari with Multiways which they tailored to our ideas and itinerary suggestions. We toured Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara National Parks. Everything was perfectly organized and our guide ensured we got the most out of it. He is a great driver and a patient guide who spots animals well! We had a cook with us on the tour who delighted us with freshly and creatively prepared food – we were impressed by the meals he cooked in the simple camp kitchens! One thing we would like to mention is the fairly old equipment Multiways is operating with - from sleeping bags, to chairs to cars. Everything is still functional, but don’t expect anything fancy, after all it is a budget tour. During our safari we had a car break down in the middle of the Serengeti plains. However, Multiways handled the situation really well and with a bit of luck and their quick reaction we were able to continue the tour with only slight changes in the program. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we can definitely recommend Multiways for budget-friendly tours!
