Private safari with reliable and professional guide
We booked a private safari Tour (6-Day The Ultimate Southern Escape) with Destiny Explorers starting and ending from Dar es Salaam.
We visited 3 National Parks: Nyerere, Mikumi and Ruaha. All transfers and game drives took place in the same vehicle: a Toyota Land Cruiser. The tour was customizable, for Ruaha NP we asked in advance to switch to another lodge which worked out perfect for us.
Our trip was at the beginning of December, meaning less activity at the lodges and at the game drives overall. Despite beginning of rain season, we saw a huge amount of animals, including 4/5 big five!
Our driver Gilbert did an amazing job, despite long travel hours and harsh conditions on the road. During the Game Drives, he was very knowledgeable and flexible to accomodate to our needs. Communications were no problem with Gilbert, he was very reliable to the agreed planning. No rushing and always in a good mood!
All lunch boxes provided during the tour had a large selection of good food, we haven’t encountered any problems with the lodges during the tour.
The only drawback could be the long travel hours spent in the transfers, especially from Ruaha back (+12H), which we were not completely aware of. Maybe we would have considered taking a plane back for the last transfer to enjoy more of Ruaha National Park and of the Lodge for an additional Morning/Day Game drive, since we had to depart early before sunrise!
Overall we can fully recommend Gilbert and Destiny Explorers for this tour and would happily do it again!

Savannah has been the instrument for an incredibile experience in Safari tour in Tanzania.
Organizing a safari is a very hard job. Big parks, difficult roads in savana, long trips and continuous search for animals. Savannah organized everything perfectly, but 50% of the trip Is the guide you have. Geoffrey for has been an incredibile guide, patient, passionate, curious and prepared. He teached us a lot showing how much he love what he does. Parks are too big to be visited well so you can't stop too much to watch for an animal if you want to continue the trip, so a part of the trip is also luck because you can see a Little part of the park in the time you have, in our case this little part has been beautiful. In the end, we think sleeping inside Serengeti in a tent Is an experience that must be done at least once in a Life, incredibile sensations of being discrete guests in animal's house

Memorable Vacation Africa - the perfect choice for an unforgettable experience!
I had an incredible hiking experience with Memorable Vacation Africa on Mount Meru.
The trail was absolutely stunning, and our guide shared fascinating insights about every plant along the way. The ranger went above and beyond, taking us on extra scenic routes so we could experience more of the wildlife and nature.
Despite the limited resources, the meals at the huts were always a delicious three-course meal with plenty of variety. It was truly a wonderful experience and I’m incredibly grateful to Memorable Vacation Africa for making it all possible.
I would absolutely book another hike or safari with them and highly recommend this agency to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure!

Great tour
We loved the trip. I was just anxious when the driver was driving towards animals, needs to be more careful with them. But that was the only thing. After that, the attention was incredible and the photos I was able to get from the animals in their habitat were stunning.

Well-organized
We had an excellent trip with Kojuu Safari. Judith saw to it that every detail and need were attended too. Our guide, Peter, was phenomenal. He had eagle eyes, was diligent, and prided himself on great client service. I would highly recommend this woman-owned company!

The 4 day safari on Timeline Travel was great
The 4 day safari on Timeline Travel was great. Countless leopards have encountered amazing animal sightings made possible by their uniqueness. The encounter was enhanced by the knowledge of the guides, who provided fascinating insights into animal behavior. The lodge was hard to leave because of its unique blend of luxury and genuine charm. Timeline Travel Tour's excellent preparation made the trip memorable and stress-free. Would recommend it to anyone looking for the best safari experience; It was a necessary adventure but they did it and I thank them immensely

Seamless Safari and Beach Experience with Top-Notch Accomodations
Serengeti Green Tanzania did an outstanding job organizing our safari and beach tour. Kontiki Serengeti was a fantastic camp, with a cozy, safari feel and beautiful surroundings. Safari View Camp was also excellent, providing great amenities and views over the savannah. Our guide, Goodluck, was a pleasure to travel with he knew where to go to get the best wildlife sightings and made each day fun. After the safari, Zanzibar offered a relaxing end to the adventure, with pristine beaches and a peaceful atmosphere. This tour exceeded our expectations in every way.

Fantastic
It was our good luck to be guided by our guide, Goodluck. Goodluck is experienced, and has a vast knowledge on wildlife. He patiently shares his knowledge with us, as he guided us through Tarangire NP, Serengeti Central and South NP, Ngorongoro NP, Lake Natron NP and Lake Manyara NP. He is very patient with our request to take photos and frequently parked the jeep in such a manner that we could get the best photos. Many thanks, Goodluck, and may God bless you and Tanzania abundantly.

Far exceeded our expectations & hopes!
This is the first time I’m writing a review about something, and it’s because this experience was truly special, and Eliis (the organizer) more than deserves it. As you can probably tell, this is going to be entirely positive feedback.
We booked a day trip to the Ngorongoro Crater at a very fair price. The package included two nights at a more-than-satisfactory 3-star hotel in Arusha with half board, a super reliable airport transfer to the hotel upon arrival and back to the airport upon departure, transportation to the crater with a private guide in a Jeep, and even the park entry fees!
What really stood out to me was the simple, quick, reliable, and straightforward communication via WhatsApp, as well as Eli’s personality. He made every one of our requests possible, offered his own suggestions to make our stay even better, and did all of this with a genuine smile—you can tell he truly enjoys what he does. It’s worth mentioning that Eli took nearly two hours of his time so we could visit the famous African Art Gallery on the way.
Now, on to the safari—the main reason for our trip. Honestly, we didn’t know what to expect. Many people book safaris for several days, and we were worried that one day wouldn’t be enough. But I can now confirm—it absolutely is (at least if you, like us don’t have very specific goals but just want to have an amazing safari experience).
The crater offers an unparalleled, breathtaking atmosphere, and we were able to see almost all the iconic animals up close. Of course, this can vary from day to day, but our personal highlight was seeing lions just one meter away from our private safari Jeep.
Overall, this was an experience we’ll remember forever. As you can probably tell, Eli was the key to making it so special which is why we can wholeheartedly recommend booking any adventure through this organization!

Great guide, lovely venues and high service
We were so happy with our 3 days safari with mountain warriors. Before the trip we had great contact with Ruth who was fast in replying and service minded.
Our guide Augustino was very well skilled in being a safari guide and also gave us really valuable insights on other topics related to Tanzania. All in all we are very satisfied with the trip,
