Personalized attention, a wild experience!
Sunset Adventure Tours exceeded all my expectations. As a licensed Travel Advisor, I knew the competition would be fierce. But from the get go, Emma impressed me with her attention to detail and prompt, personalized communication.
My friend and I completed a three-day safari of Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. We were blown away with our guide’s knowledge and expertise! He knew exactly where to go to find all the animals we’d hoped to see. Omar was friendly and attentive to all our needs. His English is amazing!We saw every animal possible (other than the elusive leopard and cheetahs!) and we’re especially impressed with how close we were able to get to a pride of lions…
The parks themselves are pristine clean and the picnic/washroom facilities equally as such.
Overall, I found the entire experience top-drawer and exceptional value for money. I especially appreciated Emma checking in on us.
One other thing, the quality of our accommodation was 10/10. We stayed at Farm of Dreams Lodge in Karatu and felt like it was the most boujee experience ever! With lovely, down-to-earth and attentive staff.

This was by far the most intense and amazing trip we have ever done, thanks to Mohamed and his team.
We saw sooooooo many animals and sometimes they were so close. My highlight were two lions that passed us, they came so close that we really could have touched them, but of course did not. They were all calm and just curious about the car and its smell. The landscape and its beautiful animals were just amazing - we felt like we were in a movie, sometimes it felt so surreal - almost like a dream come true! David aka Simba was our driver and he was so cool and experienced - we got along really well and learned so much about the history, the animals, the landscape and everything. He was perfect at driving, spotting animals and being a wonderful host and companion. The trips were really fun and the cars were well equipped. Ask Mohamed for binoculars to better observe hunting scenes from a distance . . they are part of it too.
The lodges were carefully chosen and you could always choose between 2 options: the more luxurious lodge or the "glamping" tents, after we chose the latter in Ngorongoro, which was also a cool experience. Mohamed warned us though it can be chilly at night in October, and he was right! ? We liked it anyway! I personally liked the safari lodge in the Serengeti the best - falling asleep to roaring lions or laughing hyenas can't be topped ! The lodge even had a shower outside, one inside, and a bathtub overlooking the vast plains of the endless Serengeti, as well as a swimming pool. However, all the lodges had a pool. After a long day on safari, it can be nice to take a relaxing bath!
Mohamed and his team were just great hosts. He was so quick to respond and answer any question I had before, during and after the trip. Helped with restaurant recommendations, printed our plane tickets, transfers to and from the airport were included as well as our stay in Arusha. He always asked if everything was okay! Hospitality at its best!

Excellent experience
It is my second time doing a trip with Serengeti African Tours because the first one was already overwhelmingly nice. Especially Lucas is such a nice knowledged guy who can show you the most beautiful places in Tanzania. I can recommend booking a tour to the Meru falls and lake duluti where you can do a boat trip with such a nice view of Kilimanjaro. Also Materuni waterfalls and the hot springs are very nice. They make so much effort to make your trip the most amazing one. Over all everything went well with the picking up, food and drinks and such nice views. Worth all the money!!!

Perfectly Executed Once in a Lifetime Experience
I had the pleasure of organising our 2 night, 3 day Safari for our group of 7, and I must say from the very beginning Qualified Tours seemed almost too good to be true (spoiler alert: It was even better than it seemed in real life, and there was no catch!!!). I liaised with at least 4 other Safari companies, and Qualified were the most accommodating, quick to reply, and informative through WhatsApp. With everything included, for the price, we were seriously astounded at the quality and care of the whole tour which persisted throughout. We were allowed to chose where we wanted to be picked up and dropped off, the food provided was delicious and catered to different diets in our group, the vehicle was big enough for us all + our luggage and was very comfortable and enabled great viewing of the animals. We were lucky enough to get upgraded to the Hhando Coffee Lodge for accommodation, which was right by the Ngorongoro crater - so close we got to see Elephants in the distance! Our tour operator Mdee was lovely, we felt very well taken care of by him, and he was also clearly very knowledgable in terms of the animals, and happy to answer all of our questions! Overall I cannot recommend Qualified Tours enough, we all had an incredible experience, and I would say it would be very difficult to find a better company to book with. They are certainly offered the best value for money tours that I was able to find when booking, and given the immense quality of and level of care put into these tours, it would be a mistake to book anywhere else.
Best staff and therefore the best safari!
I’ve not done a safari before but I’ve heard others complain about various other companies. Serengeti Wakanda was an amazing company. The manager (Bartho) was extremely helpful and always responded to my emails in the weeks leading up to the safari within hours. The guide for the tour (Andrew) and the chef (Idrisa) were both incredible people and made the whole experience all the better. Andrew knew his stuff and made sure that we saw the big 5 as closely as possible. The days started early, but he made sure that we were always the first to leave camp to increase the chance of seeing the big 5. This was especially successful on the day we saw the rhino as no other company that day saw one. The food was perfect too. Definitely the company to choose if you’re going on safari in Tanzania.

Excellent and Friendly Service
There were 3 of us on a Safari tour with our guide and driver, Sele. He was very professional, friendly and informative throughout the two day safari. He knew all of the best spots to see the animals and was very accommodating to us - always asking us where we would like him to stop for the best shots of the animals. The overnight stay was stunning whereby we camped at the top of a mountain in a very spacious and luxurious tent and there was also an infinity pool overlooking the city and mountains! The evening meal cooked by Godson was stunning with fresh fish included. Overall, it was a fabulous experience and we wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to take us on an amazing two day safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Many thanks to Sele, Godson and the rest of the team for making it an unforgettable experience.

Very professional, timely, caring and fantastic passion to ensure customers don’t return disappointd
Very quick turnaround, punctuality with great concern for customer’s time. They do go out of the way to ensure guests are happy, purpose is served and everyone makes it on time back home. One tour guide stayed back especially for 2 guests who didn’t come back on time. While other guides then helped drop his guests who were on time. This was phenomenal
