An amazing and unforgettable experience
It was our first Safari and also our first trip to Africa. The booking process was easy, Paul answered our questions promptly and we never felt like we were being pushed or "sold" anything. All interactions were very friendly and professional. The fluent level of english of everyone involved really made communication very easy.
We were quite impressed with the organization of the whole tour. Everything was carefully planned along with options and fallbacks. Every lodge had WiFi, porters, great breakfast choices and an easy check-in process. The car had 4WD, radio, shovel (which wasn't needed) and the driver really knew his way around the car. There were also device chargers, binoculars, a bluetooth speaker and a fridge available.
We were extremely happy with our driver guide — James — as he made us feel safe, comfortable and informed throughout the whole time showing deep knowledge of Tanzania, wildlife and and driving skills. This man had 15 years of experience and sharp vision that could spot wildlife that we wouldn't otherwise notice. He also went out of his way several times to give us access to animals and wildlife situations we would otherwise miss. We witnessed a live predator chase around our car, had a family of cheetas feasting just outside under our window, resting baby lions almost within touch distance and we were right in the middle of a family of elephants crossing the road. We left feeling very grateful for James.
After the end of the Safari we travelled to Zanzibar to have the most relaxing time ever.
We are very happy to have made this trip and would definitely LOVE to do it again!

Excellent Tour Operator for Camping Safaris (Group & Private)
Alphadean Tours and Safaris is an excellent tour operator for safaris in East Africa. They operate their own safaris in Kenya and work with trusted partners in other countries, e.g. Tanzania. I booked a 9-days safari with them through Tanzania (Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Eyasi, Lake natron) and must say that I was fully happy with my experience. Key positive points for me were:
(1) the sales coordinator Jemimah is EXTREMELY responsive and puts a lot of effort in to make sure you get the tour you want;
(2) they have departures almost every day which makes it easy to join a tour;
(3) compared to other operators, this agency has a very good value for money;
(4) they were pretty flexible in how the safari is organised, e.g. I joined a group for 6 days and had a 3-day private safari directly ensueing.
All in all, can really recommend Alphadean!! Again, Jemimah is really a very great asset they have, she answered every day (incl. Christmas!) at every hour within a short time!

Very helpful and patient.
This company provided a good value service for the safari holiday that we wanted to go on. They are well organised and took the time necessary to make this work. I would recommend them

Best journey of our life
It was the best journey in our family's whole life. We were with two little children (2,5 and 4,5 years old) and firstly we can't find safari tour who are able to organise safari for as young children. But we had contacted the leader Emmanuel and he made me know everything about the safari.
The driver (David) was very polite and he knows everything about the circle of life of the National Park and Conservation Area. He always ask about the children are OK or not. We have a lot of good hot dishes during the whole safari, It was nice to have a picnic in that area. The driver always know where we are supposed to go in order to see the wildlife. We have seen almost the big five (except Leopard), but the best moment of the safari was that one male and one female lions layed under our jeep in Ngorongoro Crater. It was very-very avesome.
The Lodges was great first night was in the Serenity Hereditary Lodge in a well-suited five stars camp in the middle of the Serengeti National Park. The second night was in the Serena Lodge which has a great view to the Ngorongoro Crater It was avesome to see the animals from the bed.
Everything was really professional and we have the best time in that journey.

The tour operator knew exactly what he was doing and was an exceptional driver and your guide.
Shayona Safari and tours were amazing. The booking and communication was very smooth and the services they provided were of top quality. They gave us the best price we could ask for and the safari was even better.

Samuel is exceptional in all aspects of tour operation; he truly cares.
I knew Primate Journeys from a previous trip to Uganda for another purpose and chose them for a trip for my husband. Samuel and team carefully plan each trip and make detailed arrangements to bring the unique beauty of this precious region alive. From lion treks to an afternoon with chimpanzees, hot air balloons over the Serengeti to chasing rhinos this team knows how to connect you with the experience you hope to have all while ensuring your comfort. They are a special bunch. It’s a true blessing to know them!

Life Changing Experience
Ezekiel has been very very cooperative, speaks English, and very knowledgeable about the animals you will get to see! Staying a night in the Serengeti with our exposed tents (with a net of course) was an unimaginable experience, you are surrounded by wild life including: Zebras, hippos, wild beasts, buffalos, lions, hyennas, and so much more that I cannot remember. We also had our chef Tito who really stepped up the trip with his local dishes that were absolutely delicious and rich with coconut flavor haha as he loves it, and so did we. We have visited, the Tarangire, the Serengeti, and the Ngorogoro Crater. Everything during the trip was beyond my expectation from landing at Arusha to watching our first lion pride up closely. (Less than 5 meters away) and they were a pride of 10 lions ! Btw you get to hear lots of animals during your camping at night and our closest night encounter was with a friendly hippo after dinner around 8 pm … 10 meters away!!
I cannot even describe this trip enough because I would not be fair towards the beautiful life and the up-close encounter with Mother Nature. By all means, it was absolutely astonishing. Thanks to all the crew that I forgot to mention for making this beautiful experience possible.
Hakuna Matata!! ❤️
