Amazing experience with Almighty Kilimanjaro
It was a pleasure doing the Kilimanjaro trek with Almighty, they were super responsible, and couldn't recommend them highly enough. My guide John was a pleasure to chat to everyday, he shared a lot about the culture, responded to any questions I had and kept me safe. The meals were absolutely amazing, the tent in perfect conditions and the whole team was delightful, I felt part of the team and welcome.

Kind, knowledgeable, helpful, and communicative.
The afro dawn safaris team guided us through the devils pool experience including a pickup in Zimbabwe, cross border transfer to Zambia, and return to Zimbabwe. All was taken care of and the guides were all kind and communicative, including ensuring we were on the first boat so we could return for our flight in the afternoon.

Seamless and helpful
Our experience with Serengeti Smiles has been nothing short of amazing. From the start of the booking process, through to our incredible time with Zachary, our guide. Zachary has been phenomenal. He has illustrated immense knowledge of the African wildlife and ecosystem, and was able to answer any question we had! We also saw the big 5 which was such a happy surprise for us, as we know the leopard and rhino are hard to see. Zachary did everything in his power to get us there, even when we know animals have a mind of their own! We felt safe driving with him, which was so important. The tour overall was great. Loved the accomodation and food! I highly recommend the mid range and private tour. My fiance and I had the most amazing time. Thank you Serengeti Smiles!

Excellent, kind and very professional
A fantastic experience, the route was very evocative and wonderful, the locations were always welcoming, and the staff were extremely kind.
Our driver-guide Tomas was top-notch, and thanks to him, we were able to admire all the animals in the parks, even the rarest and hardest to find. Credit also goes to our Tyota, who gave it her all. Overall, a challenging but unforgettable trip.

The tour was well organised and delivered exactly what was promised
We did a single night in Amboselli with the single tours team, it was a fantastic experience where we got exactly what we hoped without a hitch.
He’s very knowledgeable, helpful and hospitable
Organized and thorough. Piniel, the salesperson, went above and beyond to assist us with transport and booking even outside the tour. The value for money was good and the lodgings were comfortable. Would overall recommend

Lovely nature, services expensive and not really rewarding
I had the 4 day 3 nights budget joining group in Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro. The nature is amazing, especially the crater, packed with animals and the views are crazy. Tarangire was also packed with animals. The Serengeti is huge, so we drove more and saw less animals.
What left a sour taste in my mouth was the price - service quality ratio. I will leave a breakdown here:
- Lem carnivores contact was responsive and polite, but the organisation was chaotic, the first 2 mornings we had to wait for a few hours each day (when animals are actually most active) just so they can organize the cars, they changed the driver and they don't communicate all this in advance, we felt like you never know what awaits you
- drivers & cook were nice people, although we would have expected more info from the drivers about the schedule
- first day accommodation was a very basic room, second night in Serengeti was an awful public campsite: tents smelled like dirty feet, there was no light in the bathrooms and showers, showers doors did not close, no toilet paper, no soap, no hot water and generally dirty. The third night in Ngorongoro public campsite was ok: tents were better, we even got pillows, bathrooms were clean, functional, they had toilet paper, light and hot water, but no soap.
- the cook was a friendly guy, we had more than enough each day, but I have high doubts about how the food is stored, because it is transported without a fridge and in the kitchen area there is no refrigerator. 3 of us got diarrhea, it was bad, we think it was the meat
- safari jeeps are not really well maintained. every day we would pass by broken down cars, lots of them!! in the last day ours broke as well in the exact moment when the diarrhea hit (to be so lucky...)
For me I believe 3 days would have been enough, considering the many hours you spend in the car on bumpy roads. If you have back pain, you will feel it a lot, so keep that in mind when booking.
I also believe that what I wrote here is a reality for all the operators, not only for Lem Carnivores, I just have the feeling that this is the most Tanzania services can provide.
All in all, I would have expected way more out of a 700 dollar experience (+3.5% transfer fees!), but the nature was amazing.
