A Memorable November Safari Adventure in Tanzania with Expert Guide Innocent
Our 10-day journey through Tanzania, meticulously planned by Renatus and Safari Soles Tours, offered a unique blend of cultural immersion and wildlife exploration. The adventure featured a 6-day safari spanning Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, guided by the exceptional safari guide Innocent, with enriching pre-safari experiences in Arusha, led by guides Chief and Andrew.
Our voyage commenced in Arusha, where we spent a day before embarking on the safari. Chief, our friendly and enthusiastic guide, introduced us to the African Cultural Heritage Center, immersed us in the local market culture, and guided us on a serene nature walk at the Kilimamoto crater. These experiences served as a perfect introduction to Tanzania's rich culture and breathtaking landscapes.
The highlight of our trip undoubtedly was the 6-day safari, covering the magnificent terrains of Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, an unforgettable experience significantly elevated by our guide, Innocent. His profound knowledge and infectious enthusiasm for Tanzania's wildlife and ecosystems transformed our adventure into a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
Tarangire, adorned with numerous elephants and their adorable offspring, as well as playful warthogs, provided a whimsical spectacle. We were also treated to thrilling sightings of cheetahs and lively lion prides with cubs, showcasing the park's diverse wildlife.
The vast expanse of the Serengeti equally mesmerized us. Here, alongside majestic giraffes and elusive leopards, we marveled at the large herds of wildebeest and zebras. Hippos added to the variety of wildlife encounters, while playful warthogs and majestic male lions dotted the landscape, making every moment in the Serengeti memorable.
In Ngorongoro Crater, our experience reached new heights with a distant rhino sighting, a rare and awe-inspiring moment. The vibrant flamingos in the crater added a splash of color, and we continued to be entertained by more male lions and the ever-charming warthogs.
We must emphasize the pivotal role of our guide, whose boundless energy and enthusiasm enriched every moment of our safari. Our daily plans were thoughtfully discussed the night before, accommodating our requests for early morning trips when animal activity peaked. Frequent stops for optimal photography opportunities were made, and park navigation was meticulously coordinated with other drivers. Innocent's captivating storytelling and comprehensive knowledge of Tanzanian wilderness breathed life into each location. His friendly demeanor, sense of humor, and eagerness to share his expertise made our journey both educational and immensely enjoyable. We were fortunate to have Innocent as our guide and driver, ensuring our safety and confidence in experiencing the park to its fullest.

Excellent experience
After checking many options of travel to Pilanseberg National Park, I contacted MoAfrica and got an immediate and helpful reply. I chose the two days tour with overnight stay in Black Rino resort and it was worth every Rand despite it was not that cheap... everything went perfectly and smooth: the drivers from my hotel (Sunny was so nice and friendly !) the amazing and comfort resort, the food, the cars, the safari tours, everything was on time and there were no surprise s. I am very happy about this tour, I have excellent memories. Thank you.

Amazing, communicative & unforgettable
I highly recommend Morningstar Safari Tours. My friends and I were visiting Africa for a destination wedding and left it last minute to organise a safari tour. We used safari bookings to get quotes and we’re delighted when Emmie was able to put together a last minute personalised Safari tour for myself and 3 of my friends, with Alex as our Safari driver. This package went beyond our expectations. Emmie from Morningstar stayed in constant communication and provided a thorough detailed breakdown of what to expect. This made it so easy and reduced the effort and stress on our part. We were picked up and dropped off to our accomodation as requested and the accomodation during the tour was vastly above and beyond what we expected. The stops along the way at the community centres allowed us to purchase the souvenirs we wanted to get for loved ones back at home as well. We were able to see all the animals on our bucket list and so much more. The views were breathtaking and the food was amazing.
A massive, massive thank you to Alex for keeping us safe throughout the tour and his impeccable driving skills that allowed us to get the picturesque shots that we never knew we NEEDED!
Definitely booking you again in future! Thank you Morningstar.

All promises fullfilled, a reliable tour operator, Rocktrek Safaris recommended!
We found Rocktrek Safaris on the site of Safari Bookings. An excellent site to compare options and prices. We requested three quotes, Rocktrek Safaris Ltd. came up with a good proposal, useful advice and the best price. We thought it was a risk not to arrange our safari through a travel agency, but directly with Rocktrek Safaris, but the entire trip was super organized by Silas. He communicated quickly and knowledgeable. His mails were always accurate and very friendly.
We had great days with his (jeep) driver and safari guide Linus. Linus is a very friendly person, a good driver and nice tour guide who told us about the many animals we saw, elephants, lions, rhinos, pumbaas and much more.
He also drove us around in the Nairobi National Park, to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and Giraffe Centre. Linus also showed us Nairobi, walking.
We had excellent and carefree safari days with Linus.
We highly recommend, Rocktrek Safaris Ltd. with Silas and driver Linus!

An amazing experience
The tour exceeded our expectations. Raymond is an amazing driver and guide, he has great energy, always on time, and also has an astonishing talent for finding the most hidden animals in the park.
Accommodation was also great, near to the park and with good local food.
We're so glad we chose that safari tour! Raymond, thank you again!

Brilliant four-day northern Tanzania safari
Our safari with Suricata was brilliant and a once in a lifetime trip. Our guide Elias was extremely knowledgeable and made the safari experience great, making sure we saw lots of animals we wouldn’t have spotted ourselves. Our chef Salim cooked us delicious food every day for lunch which varied every day to keep it really interesting. I would highly recommend the angata camps for more luxury accommodation in ngorogoro but still in the national park environment, organised by the safari company and the Suricata boma lodge, which is a stunning place to stay with great food and setting on Lake Manyara.

Epic summit experience, very low budget tour
+ price
+ trek team of porters, chef and guide
+ food
+ prompt email communication with office
+ day 2+3 great hiking, epic summit sunrise experience
- transportation from Nairobi to the mountain and back is public transport (no mentioning before)
- first day wasted with transport and gathering food+equipment, only started hiking at 3:30pm, 2 hour paved road hike to Moses camp
- tent was dirty, old, zipper not working
- mattresses dirty, one day unacceptable
- rest day should be skipped, no relaxing possible in raining season, facilities dirty and low budget
- last accommodation at Bandas unacceptable, unsafe tenting with wildlife at tent, washroom unusable
- last day useless, several hours on 4x4 road with constant discussion when to call for transport at our costs for the entire team. Need to be clarified before. Costs up to 80 USD for vehicle.
Overall fair price, but also very low budget. Day 1 and 5 need to be discussed and agreed on before payment. With reasonable fitness only 2 days and 1 night at Shipton Camp needed. Fantastic summit experience, great chef, porters and guide. Communication with guide was limited, we always had to ask for info.

Excellent experience with Serengeti African Tours
It was a great experience with Serengeti African Tours on our Serengeti safari. Whole team work professionally. Their reservation Safina is always on top of everything to make sure our trip planned smoothly. Our driver Aboh is awesome, he is very knowledgeable about park and animals. The game drive was fun, successful, educational. He works above and beyond to our expectations to make our Africa safari dream coming to true. High recommend

You will never find better!
Robert and renatus our two guides were just AMAZING. So devoted to their customer, always trying to please us, and so kind. They know the places perfectly, Robert while planning our trip from France for us was always avalaible to answer, got quick responses for us.
We always had super lunch (home made cooking) while we saw other groups with poor lunchboxes! The price is also very good value for the safari!
I sincerely hope they will get many news customers because they diserve it.
You can pass with them eyes shut!
