the best you can get out there
Nico was our driver and he was absolutely great. Was willing to go the extra mile for us, no complaining, he had all the time very positive mindset and what’s most important - he had very good knowledge about all the animals and plants in the park! Couldn’t have wished for a better driver for those 5 days. Car was clean and very nice as well.

I would advise you don't book
I have been to Kenya and Tanzania a number of times. This trip that I booked with Safari360 was my worst experience ever. I almost lost my life because Petro runs a business that uses totally filthy, substandard and unsafe vehicles, and crowns it with unprofessional drivers to take unsuspecting travelers for a ride. The first jeep that I was sent did not have any working windows or doors. They did not open from the inside, and had to be pried open from the outside by the Driver, whenever needed. That 2 seater jeep was filthy, smelled, and had one "functional" seat, but no seat belts. The driver had the switch to open and close the windows as the switches by the windows were inoperable. He smashed my fingers in the window a total of 4 times as he could not control the switch. When I asked for a replacement vehicle, I was sent a 6 seater Toyota Range Rover. At first I was relieved when I saw it from the outside. However, very soon I learned that it was no different from the first vehicle.... Read more I was basically made to jump from the frying pan into the fire. This vehicle had totally broken seats, no seat belts on any of the seats, and again doors and windows that were not operable from the inside, The vehicle appeared never to have been cleaned from the inside, but worst of all, various parts of this poorly maintained jeep kept breaking down. We had a total of 4 breakdowns with issues ranging from the rear axle, to the shock absorbers and followed by the struts. The final blow was when the brakes failed. The driver had to pull into mechanic shops at remote villages where we spent between 2 to 4 hours getting the repair work done. Petro, and his partner, who provides the transport, did not approve any fuel purchase along the way. As per his calculations he had provided enough fuel for the entire journey. At no point had he taken into consideration the lousy and treacherous road conditions and other factors that could and did affect the "mpg or kpl." I had to pay for the gas out of pocket as it was either that or be stuck in the middle of nowhere. The height of indifference and couldn't careless attitude on the part of Petro and his partner towards the safety of the Driver and me was reached when the brakes of the Range Rover failed as we were descending towards a valley on a very steep hill with a 7% grade, as the posted signs showed. We would have ended in a head-on collision with a truck that was going the opposite direction because the bus behind the truck decided to pass him without bothering to see if it was safe to do so. The road was very narrow in both directions. How we did not have a fatal collision with failed brakes is still a mystery to me, and gives me the creeps till today. Your entire life truly flashes before your eyes at that moment. After this incident we drove downhill to the very next village at 5kpl. We were fortunate to find a mechanic who spent 3 hours fixing the brakes. I have never had such a harrowing trip anywhere in the world since I have been traveling. Please, I advise you do not use Safari360. Petro's only objective is to make money. Period! He is an unscrupulous, unethical and unprofessional Safari Tour operator. Your safety is never his concern. I wonder if the Tanzanian Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism that issues Safari Operator licenses are even aware of how businesses are run once they issue the licenses. Does that department even have any checks and balances or monitor these businesses. Since Tourism is a major income generator for the government I am sure they would be interested in hearing about some of these horribly and unsafe practices by some tour operators. That is something worth looking into. Buyer Beware.

Good communication!
I rented the rav4 for 5 days and took it to a wildlife management area. The car did the job, but most importantly the communication was timely and professional. When a problem occurred with the spare tire mount, the company was quick to respond and helped me find someone nearby who was able to help. They did not charge me anything for the fix as the issue was due to the tire mount being rusty. I appreciated the way the situation was handled as it could easily have been difficult.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Ungsu Shin
A concentrated area of wildlife. The first and last wild park to see a rhino.

The one to choose in Tanzania!
I DREAM OF AFRICA, what a lovely phrase! Just the name of a company, but THE company to choose for a safari in Tanzania.
Christopher, the guide and local owner of this small company, is highly experienced, competent and very friendly.
He drives very well and safely, and knows all the tricks for seeing wild animals.
Thanks to him, we spent a fabulous day discovering the wonderful animals and landscapes in the Taranguire park.
His experience enabled us to see giraffes, elephants, meerkats, warthogs, monkeys and the icing on the cake was to see a leopard, cheetahs and lions. Unforgettable!
Thank you for everything Christopher! The next time I come, I will definitely choose your company 'I DREAM OF AFRICA' (+255 754 461 594) and your services again. Thank you so much!
