Extremely knowledgeable and resourceful
Both Paul and Evan were amazing guides! They were always on time and always had an answer to our questions. They knew the Mara like the back of their hands and made sure we had a great experience seeing all the animals. Highly recommend!

Awesome Safari Trip from planning to the very end
I had contacted many safari companies for our 10 days private Kenya Safari Trip and finally chose Explorers Wild Adventures based on their quick response, good price and very good reviews from the past customers. Johann answered all my questions honestly and gave clear instructions about money transfer from US. We upgraded to 4x4 and it was very comfortable even during long rides. We chose mid range hotels. They were mostly Sentrim chain hotels and were all pretty good. Our driver/guide David showed up on time to pick us up at our Nairobi AirBnB. He was punctual every day, clearly communicated every day program, had a great positive attitude and was eager to share his knowledge about animals and Kenya. We learnt so much about animal behavior, Kenyan politics and culture from him. Of the 2 optional tours that we did, Masai village tour was good but the lake Naivasha boat ride and nature walk was too expensive at $60 pp. We could have totally skipped it as we saw multiple hippos, giraffes, zebras in very close range with in our hotel (Lake Naivasha Country Club) that night.
Over all I highly recommend Explorers Wild Adventures. They are professional, work well together, did not mess up any reservations and really strive to earn and keep your business. You will be very pleased if you book with them.

Fantastic safari led by an experienc guide (Yaya). We had the time of our lives. Would recommend!!!!
Thank you so much Yaya for showing us such an incredible time. We loved visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater, Serengeti and Lake Natron. You spotted so many incredible animals for us. We'd recommend your service to anyone doing a safari in Tanzania.

Smith is the best
Smith was an incredible tour guide - traveling with him made everything easy.
Everything I wanted to do we did - no questions and no complaints.
Working with Lulu and Smith was the best decision I could have made

Unforgettable 5-Day Safari with Serengeti Luxury Safaris
We recently wrapped up a five-day adventure with Serengeti Luxury Safaris, exploring Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. It was an incredible journey from start to finish, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything went.

The Guides: Asad & Noel
Asad (Safari Guide)
Knowledge & Experience: With over 11 years of guiding safaris, Asad’s expertise truly shone. He knew exactly where to find animals and was able to answer every question—no matter how detailed or childlike our curiosity got.
Friendly & Flexible: From ensuring we had enough breaks to letting us sleep in and pick us up later when needed, he made sure we felt relaxed and comfortable. By the end, we felt like we were on a trip with a friend rather than just a guide.
Wildlife Highlights: We saw elephants up-close, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, black rhinos (from a distance), baboons, and of course, the mesmerizing migration of zebras and wildebeests.
Noel (Coordinator)
Warm & Accommodating: The moment we spoke with Noel on the phone, we felt at ease. He explained every detail of the trip thoroughly and ensured a smooth process from inquiry to departure.
Flexible Payment: We appreciated only having to pay a 10% deposit upfront. This was especially reassuring since we’d been scammed in the past. Being allowed to pay the remainder after the first day of our safari eased our worries.
Genuine Care: Every interaction felt personal, not transactional. Noel was respectful, kind, and totally understood our concerns. His friendliness really set a positive tone for the entire trip.
Great Value: The price was fantastic considering how much we got in return—expert guidance, seamless logistics, and top-notch accommodations.

Lodges & Camps
Kankari Lodge
Beautiful rooms, excellent restaurant, and multi-course dinners that blew us away. We stayed here before heading to Tarangire and again at the end—both stays were absolutely delightful.
Shu’hudia Camp
Surpassed our expectations: incredibly cozy, well-equipped tents, and food that rivaled high-end city restaurants. The staff’s friendliness contributed to a warm and lively atmosphere.
Mbalakai Camp
Near Ngorongoro, Mbalakai Camp offered spacious rooms and an amazing shower—some of the most comfortable lodge accommodations we’ve experienced. We also enjoyed dancing with the staff and appreciated their warm hospitality.

Extra Touches
Maasai Village Visit: Though not originally on our itinerary, Asad helped arrange this visit since we had extra time. It turned out to be a meaningful cultural experience we won’t soon forget.
Logistics & Comfort: From daily schedules to transport and meal stops, everything was perfectly organized. We never had to worry about a thing.
Memorable Wildlife Sightings: While we didn’t get the close-up lion encounter we’d hoped for, we understand that wildlife is unpredictable—no one can control nature! Still, we saw so many other incredible animals that we’re more than satisfied.

Final Thoughts
Our overall experience with Serengeti Luxury Safaris was outstanding—definitely a 10/10. Between Asad’s deep knowledge and friendly attitude, Noel’s accommodating nature and transparent communication, and the breathtaking lodges, we felt we received exceptional value for the price we paid. We wholeheartedly recommend Serengeti Luxury Safaris to anyone seeking an amazing safari adventure in Tanzania.
Would we do it again? Absolutely. And we’d call Noel and Asad without hesitation.

Safari Talk provided a memorable experience while creating an exceptional adventure.
Safari Talk did a great job orchestrating with our group to create personalized service. The driver knew the terrain and was able to find a multitude of animals you would hope to see on safari. The accommodations provided were amazing with great food buffets.

The Steve crafts memorable journeys with ease and expertise.
Steve communication was great prior to the trip. He was very accommodating and flexible on time/dates and tour options. He met us on the first day with our driver, Kevin. The safari was everything and more than I could have hoped for. We saw the big five. The driver had great communication and was a very skilled driver. He easily navigated situations that looked impossible. He listened constantly to the radio and took us to all the highlight events. I recommend bringing a giant bag of candy for the kids in the area. The Masai village tour was very interesting. Thank you, Mimsoft safaris.

loves his job, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, goes an extra mile, friendly - definitely recommended.
Our tour was perfectly arranged from start to finish, and everything went smoothly thanks to the dedication and attention of everyone involved. From the person who coordinated all the arrangements to our tour operator, who went above and beyond to make it a memorable trip, everyone excelled at their roles. It was clear that they genuinely loved what they were doing.
We were fortunate to find a tour operator who not only ensured we saw all the animals but also made us feel at ease throughout the entire journey. The hotels, flights, and transfers were all handled seamlessly, and the price-to-quality ratio was excellent.
