Having a great safari depends on patience, time and... a great guide like Amos!
What can I say? I just can't wait to figure out when I'll be back again...
Our highlights would be:
* Safari Multiways - the friendliness and willingness to help of Romeo ("the big boss") and its workers, the passion of our guide Amos while working, the super tasty food of Dogo...
* 6 day camping safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara) - the luck of watching how a family of lions hunted, watching the sunrise and the sunset in the Serengeti, seeing a leopard having its breakfast on top of a tree, the zebras chewing right next to our tent in the night, the hyena's howl, the stunningly beautiful sights everywhere and the huge difference between each and every park, being incredibly close to wild animals such as lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, cheetahs, baboons, gazelles, antelopes, etc.
The affordability of their tour was a big plus (because at the end, most of the companies offer almost the same but, in my case I rather raising up my costs by giving it in tips generously to the ones that will take care of me those days), but I would also like to mention that you may feel the lower cost compared to others in things like having a tent in worse condition than others around you or the quality and size of the chairs and table we use for eating... But the minuses weren't many neither too important.
We wanted to make an special mention to Amos, the greatest guide ever, never lazy, always adventurous and professional who really wanted to make our experience a unique one! Unfortunately, we got a guide change for the last day and we really felt the difference, no one like Amos! Make sure you read some reviews about the guides and try to find out yours before you come! It truly matters to have someone competent just like Amos was everyday during the whole trip.
I would definitely repeat the experience with Safari Multiways and recommend them to anyone around the world!

Great service, many animals, 8 day safari - highly recommended!
In the beginning of August, me and my girlfriend went on 7N and 8D Camp-Safari. The owner Romeo was a major help planning the whole trip prior departure. We e-mailed hem the parks that we wanted to see, he made us a proposal of the safari schedule and after the agreement we made the online pre-payment. As well in Arusha he and his staff were very helpful and kind.
Omari is a great guide and Mozes made us delicious food, good portions also. Omari was very dedicated in spotting animals and we were lucky to see so many wildlife. They hosted us every day with a smile and had good conversations and a laugh as well.
Very good price and very good service, I can only highly recommend Safari Multiways!

Fantastic Initiation into the wild world of Tanzania
This was our first African safari and Edward made sure that it was hell of an experience. We went through a lot of safari companies and zeroed down on safari multiways primarily because it was very easy to communicate our needs and get an immediate response from them and also the assurance of so many good reviews.
Me and my wife opted for the private safari (Arusha -> Tarangire -> Manyara -> serengeti -> Ngorongoro -> Arusha) and hoped to catch the big 5, and boy did we have a feast.
our guide Amos was adept at spotting animals which others missed and always got us the best viewing position ahead of everybody. very knowledgeable guy when it came to explaining the animal behaviour. we were lucky to have him as our guide.
we opted for the midrange accomodation and all of them were perfect for a couple. our favorite was the serengeti heritage tented camp, we were literally blown away with the perfection they achieved at such a remote location. The staff were always glad to help and had a very happy demeanor.
The 4x4 jeep provided to us had charging points to help us revive the drained out batteries and a stock of refrigerated water bottles at our disposal.
The payment options are quite flexible. you can pay online using credit cards (additional 5% fee) or you can pay by cash once you reach their office. Having a wad of USD really helps. Its accepted all over and makes it easy to get things done.
We were given a complimentary pickup and drop facility which was really helpful since we had a lot of time to kill on the last day and our driver took us around the town of arusha before dropping us at the airport
overall an exceptional trip arranged by Romeo/Edward/Amos/pius, special mention for amos for not only showing us the big 5 but also for making it a fun trip. We would definitely come back and explore more of tanzania with safari multiways,
keep it up guys!! cheers

Excellent service, flexible, and honestly priced
Safari was tailored to our needs, with help from Romeo right from the start. He and his team were very quick and consisely informative with all communications. Ask and you'll receive.
The pricing was honest and fair, amazing given it's so often hard to come by in Tanzania.
Amos was a brilliant guide, he accomadated all our needs.
Ok our truck looked a bit tattier, but honestly they're all the same really, everybody does the same stuff. Unless you think it's worth paying $5000 extra simply for a leather lined seat. They've all got the same: power outlets, seat layout, and fridge in the back - don't be fooled that these are luxuries with those pricey companies.
Look no further this company was great.

awesome, enriching experience
The full experience was great and went above our expectations. Romeo (the manager) was very helpful when organizing everything and responded all our e-mails in a timely manner.
We had Amos as our guide and he was extremely professional. We even saw a caracal (it is a very hard to spot wild cat, so rare that another group was next to us but their guide didn't even know the animal and they just moved on not being to interested). I would totally recommend visiting the bushmen and the blacksmith tribes. Both experiences were really culturally enriching, especially with the blacksmith tribe.
We have seen all the animals we were hoping to see when we left home with only one exception, the rhino, despite all the efforts the guide has made in order to make it possible. Another thing that we appreciated was how he was able to read animal's behavior: several times it happened to have other safari cars around us and if they were already there by the time we arrived in that spot that means they had a better viewpoint. That changed fast because our guide was clever enough to anticipate what the lion/leopard will do in order to be ahead of them and enjoy watching them in their natural habitat.
In the end of the trip, we had one night at lake Natron which I can't say was a must do. As an advice for other tourists I would suggest to spend more time in Serengeti and skip Lake Natron (especially if you get to see Lake Easy before, both are very similar and people at lake Natron were only trying to get more money out of your pockets), even if this means spending more hours on the road for the returning to Arusha.
Also, not to forget mentioning the food which was tasty and according to our preferences.
I would recommend this trip to anyone who is a nature/animal lover and wants some cultural experience as well.
Thank you,

Safari Tarangire NP
Me and my girlfriend went with Safari Multiways to Tarangire NP for 3 days. From the start the safari was amazing. Abdul was a fantastic guide, really professional, patient and answering our questions. We got to see all the wildilife possible. Also we stayed in a great tented camp. Overall the whole collaboration with Safari Multiways was professional and easy. We would definitely recommend it.

Had a wonderful 1st Safari and will go with them on our next.
Husband and I just returned from 4.5 days safari coordinated by Romeo. We planned and chose the accommodations ourselves except Migunga at Lake Manyara. Romeo was very responsive via email. His price was very competitive. We were lucky to get Ayubu (sp?) as our guide/driver for his super vision for birds as my husband is a birder. Everything delivered as planned. We spent 1 night at Manyara, 1 at Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge - went for crater rim walk with a ranger, 2 nights in Serengeti and flew out to Arusha - best decision we made cutting the time and dust! At Arusha airport, his staff picked us up and drove us to Namanga and smoothly completed a handover to our TO in Kenya. We highly recommend Romeo.

100% Recomendable
Our experience with Safari Multiways was excellent.
We were a group of 4 persons in an 8 days private Safari in Northern Tanzania (Tarangire-Ngorongoro-Serengeri-Natron)
The communication with the manager Romeo was very smooth and easy. He provided us with all the information. We had in mind an itinerary which was improved with Romeo's recommendations. They can costumise your Safari based on your needs and budget.
Once there, the Safari was excellent. We did not have any problems at all with the accomodations or the park fees, everything went as planned. Our guide, Yuma, was an excellent companion who fulfilled our expectations and more. We learned a lot about animals and nature and we spotted a lot of animals with his help. We totally recommend Safari Multiways to everyone. They're very professional and responsive.

Great 8-days camping safari in Northern Tansania
In October we were lucky to do an 8-days budget camping safari with SafariMultiways for two persons, my wife and me. At first I'd like to point out the perfect communication: All communication while organizing the trip from home was done by Email and Romeo patiently answered all our questions. Each time he wrote back on the same day. That was superb.
(Btw.: He asked us to pay 200 $ in advance as a reservation fee and gave us the option to either do it by credit card or "Swift"-transaction, I chose the latter and had to pay lots of fees to the bank, so if you are asked, better choose credit card.)
We arrived in Arusha one day before going on Safari and in our trip-package pick up from airport and drop off were included, so there were two guys waiting with a sign written with our names on it at the airport. Perfect. Next day we got up very excited, at 8:00 a.m. our guide was expected to meet us at our hostel, he already showed up at 7:30 and waited patiently for us to complete our breakfast. On the next days we visited Arusha NP, Tarangire NP, Lake Maniara NP, Ngoro-Ngoro Crater, Serengeti NP and Lake Natron, of which Tarangire and Serengeti were the total highlights.
We had a guide and a cook on our trip and used a Toyota Land Cruiser (pretty much every tour organizer does so) to get around. Beforehand we aked for Amos as a guide, as we had read some reviews talking about him and we really got him. Unfortunate he had to leave after the third day so we got Hamisi as our second guide. Both were spectacular guides with good humor and huge knowledge of all wildlife in the parks. Our cook was Dogo, who cooked great dinners every night (don't forget to mention any kind of diet you prefer in advance so that they can prepare). We felt totally comfortable all the time with our team. The first 3 nights we stayed at the great "Fanaka" camping site, the best spot during the trip. As we had booked a budget camping tour the other camping sites were real budget sites, a little bit overcrowded and sanitaries were not that much cleaned. Next time I would prefer to spend a little bit more for better camping sites, but everyone has to decide on his own.
Our guides made this a totally awesome experience and we saw every animal we wanted to see. I totally recommend to take a trip with Safari Multiways!
In the end, 3 days after returning to Arusha we got the airport drop off and left. Great experience!
