An Unforgettable Tanzanian Safari with Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures
Our 3-day safari with Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures was nothing short of amazing! We traveled all the way from Italy to Tanzania, and from the moment we arrived in Arusha, everything was perfectly organized. The team made us feel so welcome and comfortable for sure they truly treated us like family.
Our journey began at Tarangire National Park, where we were amazed by the sight of hundreds of elephants walking gracefully among the giant baobab trees. The park was peaceful and full of life where a dream start to our adventure!
Next, we visited the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, which felt like stepping into another world. We saw lions, hippos, zebras, flamingos, and even a black rhino! The scenery was absolutely stunning the combination of wildlife and the crater’s beauty left us speechless.
Finally, Lake Manyara National Park was the perfect ending to our trip. The lush green forest, playful monkeys, and tree-climbing lions made it feel so special. We loved the variety of landscapes from open plains to the shimmering lake filled with flamingos.
Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and patient, always making sure we got the best views and photos. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and ideal for game drives. Every detail from the lodges to the meals was thoughtfully arranged.
We can confidently say that Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures made our Tanzanian safari dream come true. If you are planning a safari, look no further they are professional, reliable, and passionate about what they do.
Thank you, Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime.

Amazing
We are beyond happy to have chosen Safari Wild Explorers for our trip. Everything was smooth and stress-free right from the very beginning. I had the pleasure of planning our safari with Johann, who was incredibly attentive to every single detail and carefully crafted a tailor-made itinerary that was simply perfect for us.
The hotels they selected were top-notch, offering comfort, beautiful surroundings, and excellent service. Every step of the journey was well organized, and we didn’t have to worry about a single thing — everything just flowed seamlessly.
And of course, a special mention to Zach, our guide. He was absolutely exceptional! His warm personality, great sense of humor, and incredible energy made even the longest drives enjoyable. His enthusiasm for every game drive was contagious, and it was clear that he genuinely wanted us to experience the very best of the safari. Thanks to his deep knowledge of wildlife and the parks, we learned so much and got to witness unforgettable moments.
This was truly the best experience of our lives, and it wouldn’t have been the same without Zach and the amazing team at Safari Wild Explorers. Thank you for making our dream safari come true. We will cherish these memories forever!

Wonderful nature and animals, questionable administration and policies
First, we had a wonderful time on the safari! We saw many different animals and the surrounding nature was stunning. On our first day, we flew from Zanzibar to Kogatende for the start of our safari. As soon as we landed, we were able to see many different animals such as Hippos and a lot of wildebeests. Furthermore, we patently waited for the wildebeests to cross the river, which sadly in the end did not happen. On our second day, we were on an all-day safari drive with the chance to see the big 5 and ugly 5. On our third day, we were at the Ngorongoro Crater, quite the side to be seen. And on the last day, we had another half-day safari drive before we headed back to the airport in Arusha to take our flight back to Zanzibar.
Now what was not as nice as the animals we saw was the administration behind the safari. First, we only received our flight confirmation the day before the safari started. Which led to us having to pay for extra baggage because we were not informed about the baggage policy beforehand by Nuhu Nari despite explicitly asking for it. Over all, the communication and organisation by Nuhu was an absolute disaster. He was very short in his answers and did not answer all the questions in a satisfying way. We paid part of the tour in cash upon arrival in Arusha, even tough Nuhu promised us a receipt we did not receive that until this day.
Although the driver was a lovely guy, he was a bit unfriendly on the last day. He was very demanding that the entire group of us (four people) write a review of the tour. Despite us telling him that we would do so, once we arrived at the hotel that day, he kept on promising that we would do it right now on the spot. What we also found a bit greedy was the tip policy, of which we were only informed once the safari started. At the end of our four-day safari, we tipped the driver 100 USD, which is, in our view, fair for the time we spent with him. According to their policy, he expected 320 USD (20 USD per person, per day), which I find to be a ridiculous amount of tip and also a very questionable policy. When we handed him the tip money at the end, he also told us that he expected more money because of the policy. Very unprofessional, a tip should never be seen as granted!

Experienced and professional operator with a friendly nature.
Francis was very welcoming and quickly adjusted our itinerary to accommodate our very delayed flight. His knowledge and professionalism were exceptional. He was always happy to stop for photos and knew the best locations for wildlife viewing.
Our highlights included the incredible chimpanzee tracking in Kyambura Gorge and seeing the mountain gorillas in Bwindi, a long time bucket list dream that did not disappoint - an amazing experience! The accommodations were comfortable, practical and well located.
With all meals, park entrances, and permits included, the 7-day tour offered excellent value for money and outstanding service. We would recommend Francis and Nature Connect Safaris.

Very good
The tour was very well managed by the operators. Everything was on time and they take care of all the arrangements. Our tour guide (John) was very patient and understanding. He ensured that everyone was comfortable and having enough time during the game drives to see the wildlife, click some pictures. He tried his best to accommodate the requests from the guest. I would 100% recommend this tour.
