They are very professional and provided excellent service. Their pricing was also reasonable.
We filtered some companies on SafariBookings that were close to our needs. After further communication about the itinerary, we comprehensively evaluated them based on response speed, understanding of needs, and pricing. In the end, we chose Amazing Memories. Their staff member, Dorcas, was able to accurately understand our needs and also provided us with many good suggestions. She was very patient in answering all the questions we raised. The entire itinerary arrangement and accommodation she provided were very satisfactory to us. At the same time, during the trip, she also helped us solve some unexpected problems in a timely manner.
Since our trip covered Kenya and Tanzania, we were accompanied by two guides throughout the journey (James in Kenya and Richard, whom we all called Ray, in Tanzania) for the safari. They were particularly experienced in finding animals. We gathered the African BIG 5 and also saw many other animals and their different forms. Especially Ray, one day we saw a leopard, after watching for a while, we were about to leave, but Ray reminded us to stay a little longer. Unexpectedly, a leopard cub appeared later. If it weren’t for Ray’s reminder, we would have missed the leopard cub. On the last day, when we were watching the wildebeest crossing the river, Ray also chose a good position, allowing us to see the magnificent scene of the wildebeest crossing the river very well.
Overall, the itinerary arrangement, accommodation, meals, transportation, and safari of this trip were very satisfactory to us. It was a very memorable journey.

Fantastic Family Safari with David
Serengeti Green Tanzania delivered the perfect family safari for us, with David as our guide. He kept our kids entertained and engaged, sharing fun facts and answering all their questions. We explored Serengeti National Park and were lucky enough to spot all the Big Five! David even arranged a picnic in Ngorongoro Crater, surrounded by zebras and wildebeests. Lake Manyara was another highlight, with David showing us tree-climbing lions and hippos wallowing in the lake. Serengeti Green Tanzania was organized and reliable, making it a memorable and family-friendly adventure.

Incredibly organized, detailed, and an unforgettable time.
The safari with Shengena Adventure was an unforgettable time! As we were booking, Kelvin was extremely helpful and responsive to my many questions. My wife and I came for our honeymoon and they said they would put a Just Married sign on the back of the car and have local beers in the jeeps fridge- which they did and we got to enjoy during the safari. Then during the safari, Makundi was our guide, and he was incredible. He was always on time to pick us up, knew all the roads within the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and stopped whenever we needed him to for pictures of animals. He also helped coordinate lunch every day through our lodge and some additional activities we had planned. Makundi was easy to talk to, knew a lot about the animals, had photo ideas for us, and we felt completely safe with him as our driver for 4 days. I would 100% recommend Shengena and Makundi for a safari!

Well organised, and amazing people with stunning safari.
I was anxious when I booked this tour as it was significantly cheaper than all the others I had found. Communication and quote came back instantly. There was not a lot of o formation coming out prior to the trip, which did make me a little anxious, but I needn’t have been. The minute our driver was assigned to pick us up ( who was fabulous) we were nurtured and cared for throughout the trip. We were handed to a guide at the airport who then helped us to arrivals. The safari drive was stunning. We had the most amazing guide who was so determined to give us the best possible experience, which he did. Lions, giraffes, elephants, zebras etc. we were treated to a stunning full cooked lunch in the middle of the day which was a total surprise. The lodge at the end was delightful. Air conditioning, a pool and lovely food. All in all this was a really stunning trip.

Seamless Safari Adventure with Mzansi Experience: Big Five, Great Guides, and Perfect Planning!
The booking process was quick and easy; I got answers to all my questions in under 12 hours. Everything ran like clockwork—the airport shuttle, safari pickups, and activities were all right on time. The guides were friendly and really knew their stuff, and we were lucky enough to spot all the Big Five! The lodge room was spacious and had everything we needed. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious with lots of options. I’d definitely recommend Mzansi Experience!

All I wanted to know before a Safari
This is a translation of my review written in catalán. So please note the expressions that may look weird.
My experience with crater explorer was very satisfactory. From the beginning we had a very fluid communication with the organizer Emmanuel. He gave us the information we wanted and then he was not pushy to close the sale and gave us time to think It about while we keep ask him questions. When they tell you the price for the first time, if you come from an economy like Catalonian's, you think it's a lot of money. But if you then know the price of the tickets to the national parks, a driver and a private chef who accompany you every day, the food, the gas consumed by the jeeps they use... and that includes both nights before the safari as the night after to simple but correct hotels, and the transfers to the airport...then you understand what you pay for.
When we arrived Emmanuel told us to change the route and start with Serengetti instead of Tarangire. The hours to see animals (game drive as they call it) are the same. The reason for the change is that Cràter Explorer is a small agency and as such tries to square all the tours of its clients always in a way that doesn't hurt you too much. So, on our first day we met people who had already had a day of safari for example. And instead the last one we went alone as if it were a private safari. The camps you go to are the same as the other agencies that offer the camping safari. The tents are big enough. There was room to leave backpacks inside without problems. The mattresses are fine, but they are mattresses. They are not fancy like the one for the gym or for doing yoga. In one of the camps there was no hot water. In Ngorongoro, which is where it is cooler (7 degrees Celsius at night) although there is hot water. We weren't cold though.
Charles was a very good driver and guide. Some maneuvers he did allowed us to be very close to lions, even lionesses with their cubs. He is a very calm man. He will answer all your questions but don't expect him to take the initiative to explain things to you without you asking him. There is a lot of noise in the Jeep and he doesn't speak too loudly. Take the opportunity to ask questions when you stop to see an animal. However I 100% recommend Charles as a driver/guide. Emmanuel the cook was lovely. Every day he got up at the crack of dawn to prepare us a packed lunch, and then breakfast. When we arrived in the evening he would prepare lunch for us. It's good, western, recognizable food. There are usually some carbohydrates, either pasta or rice, protein and vegetables. The vegetables are boiled. Nothing comes raw.
And I don't think I'm leaving anything behind. I have written the review that I would have liked to read before hiring them. With all possible details. Enjoy the tour with them.
