Fantastic Wildlife Experience
We are very satisfied with this 5 day Tanzania safari. I got a chance to see the big five in Tarangire, the vast plains of Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals. Accommodations were clean and comfortable and the food was good. The car was 4x4 and the park fee was all included. The first time was no problem. A great package for those who love wildlife. Thank you to the African Overland team!

Fiona from Inspired Feet is an "Inspired" and extraordinary trip planner, who really made our trip!
I can’t say enough great things about Fiona and her company Inspired Feet. Fiona planned an amazing itinerary for my family. She is extremely organized, answered all questions promptly and helped us navigate through the intricacies of traveling in Africa across country borders. Whenever we ran into something unexpected during our trip, Fiona was always there to help us get back on track.
Her itinerary is very detailed so that we always knew what to expect. Hotels/lodging were were uniformly good to excellent and our guides were incredible, especially Wilson who guided us around the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli.
She is very flexible and is a master at logistics. We were all very impressed by her planning and problem-solving skills. I highly recommend her company to anyone planning a trip to East Africa, especially to people who want to work with a local company with a personal touch and not a big mass market company.

Amazing Honeymoon Experience
We booked with RA Safari for our honeymoon in Tanzania following a recommendation from a colleague. Zeph and Peter were very attentive and helped plan the trip exactly to our specification - starting in Ngorongoro, then Central and Northern Serengeti, and ending in Zanzibar. We opted for luxury accommodation and found that RA Safari were able to offer very competitive prices (often cheaper than what was available on the hotel websites). We had a seamless experience from the moment we were greeted in the airport in Tanzania to the moment we left.
We must give a special mention to our guide Johnson who really made it an unforgettable experience for us. Johnson’s ability to spot a leopard from a mile away and name every possible type of bird is impressive, and it was a joy to spend each day with him on the game drives. He was well-organized and knew every road and secret track in the Serengeti, helping us to find plenty of Big Five action and some rarer sightings such as a sabercat and a bat-eared fox. He was also very patient as we waited 11 hours to catch the Mara river crossing on one of the days!
Thank you Johnson, Peter, and Zeph for an amazing honeymoon and we’ll be sure to get in touch for our next safari! Highly recommend RA Safari!

Review about Tarangire National Park by Julie Ann Tokle
Tarangire was a beautiful and memorable part of our safari. We especially loved the distinctive baobab trees, which gave the landscape such a unique and atmospheric character. The elephant sightings were another highlight, and seeing these magnificent animals surrounded by the beautiful scenery was truly special. It had a wonderful bush atmosphere and felt very different from the other parks we visited.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Julie Ann Tokle
The Serengeti was absolutely breathtaking and one of the highlights of our Tanzania journey. The sheer scale of the landscape, the incredible wildlife and the beautiful changing light made every drive feel special. We had some amazing wildlife encounters and loved experiencing the vastness of the savannah. Some of the popular sightings were naturally busy with several safari vehicles, but it did not take away from the magic of being there. The Serengeti is simply a place that you have to experience for yourself.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Julie Ann Tokle
Ngorongoro Crater — Our Favourite
Ngorongoro Crater was one of the absolute highlights of our Tanzania journey and probably our personal favourite. The scenery is simply breathtaking—the feeling of being inside this enormous natural amphitheatre, surrounded by wildlife and dramatic landscapes, is something we will never forget. We had wonderful wildlife sightings and loved the unique atmosphere of the crater. It felt incredibly special and was definitely one of those places that stayed with us long after we left.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Kyung Min Choi
These are moments I will never forget for the rest of my life. Every single stop and every view was so breathtaking and moving that I didn’t want to miss a single moment.
It felt almost unreal to think that I was actually there, standing in the middle of the Masai Mara and seeing it all with my own eyes.
This was truly an unforgettable journey and one of the most incredible experiences of my life. ❤️

Review about Hell’s Gate National Park by Kyung Min Choi
Hell’s Gate had absolutely stunning scenery. However, there were many sandy and rough sections, so riding a mountain bike there requires a lot of stamina. On the way back, I was completely exhausted and eventually had to call our guide for help.
One disappointing part of the experience was that some rangers offered to drive us back but asked for 2,500 Kenyan shillings. (NOT 250.) It felt like an unreasonable amount and came across as an unpleasant tourist solicitation, which left a bad impression. The scenery itself was amazing, but this experience was definitely a downside.
