OurNorthern Tanzania Luxury Lodge Safari booked by Beatus at Donak Safaris was excellent
We have just returned from an amazing safari with Donak Safaris starting with our first night in Arusha, 1 night in Tarangire, 1 night in Lake Manyara, 2 nights in Serengeti and 1 night Ngorongoro. Our guide Yusuph was excellent very helpful and knowledgeable with a knack of finding the best places to view the Big 5 and we saw them all. We received a welcome note from Yusuph a couple of days before we traveled which was a nice personal touch. Every destination had its high lights and we wouldn't have changed a thing, except not finding the Tree Climbing Lions in Lake Manyara, but they are wild animals and we know they don't 'appear to order' !. I had always wanted to see the sunrise over the Serengeti, I saw it twice and I wasn't disappointed. The biggest surprise was Ngorongoro we entered the crater as the sun began to rise, it was a magical experience and we saw many more animals than we expected including hippos walking from one waterhole to another a sight you do not see very often. We traveled with our 27 year old daughter and have all been on safaris in other countries before but our experience with Donak did not disappoint, the planning was excellent and not a minute of our holiday was wasted.
We were all impressed with the excellent toilet facilities provided at the picnic areas in all the parks we visited.
Staff at all the lodges we stayed in were very welcoming and helpful.

Incredible opportunity to view African animals up close.
I chose a safari with Wildlands Safaris, which I selected after viewing the options available through Safari Bookings. Our safari was excellent! I couldn't believe how close we got to those amazing wild animals. The guide did everything he could to make sure we saw everything we possibly could. We couldn't have asked for better accommodation, food and service along the way. I would highly recommend this company.
Beautiful place
The parks are great here. Loads of lions around. Friendly people. Good times.
We loved it
Very nice camp, real Safari feeling, very nice staff. Very reliable service, nice to be off the beaten track.

I have dreamed about going on safari since I was a child and it was everything I dreamed of!
This trip for my daughter and me was truly amazing. The wildlife, the scenery and the whole Tanzanian experience was a trip off a lifetime. The Tanzanian people are very friendly and helpful. We were lucky to witness the migrating wildebeest river crossing, the amazing cats, elephants giraffes, zebras, rhinos and many more species. The tented camps allowed us to fall asleep to the sounds of hippos and lions in the nighttime background. We became friends with our private driver, Daudi Majengo, who had an uncanny ability to locate the animals we wanted to see. The Tanzanian government has done a great job preventing poaching and protecting these amazing animals. After our safari we flew to Zanzibar to tour Stone Town and Zanzibar's beautiful beaches, a great way to end a tremendous expedition.

Absolutely amazing
First of all we would like to thank our guide and chef, Livingston and Sweetbart, for been a great guide and a great chef. Second we were amazed by the nature and wildlife in Tanzania. We saw four of the great five, but we were truly amazed by the magnificent wildlife that Tanzania has to offer.
A big shout out to Nothern Circuit Adventure, and Mike, for arranging a great safari trip for us. Thanks!

The best you can get from safari tour in Tanzania !!!
June is the beginning of the high season where we can enjoy the game drives without encountering too many tourist while it is too early for the big migration. Overall, the weather was pretty nice. It rained for just one day with slightly cool temperature though the sunlight could be a bit strong at mid day. Of course we were excited when we travelled to Serengeti and witnessed how vast it is. Serengeti was in idylic setting where the grasses and the bushes were golden and greenish contrasted with either vibrantly blue or stormy sky. So, apart from taking photo of wild animals, it is fascinating for landscape photography as well.
We were surprised that the accomodations were decent and comfortable with quality of food and other services going beyond expectation. It was such a good feeling when you can still take a hot shower in the middle of no where in Serengeti hearing the howling hyenas at the same time. The portion for lunch box is quite big and could be dull when you have them for the seventh straight days. The quality of the lunch box is normally mediocre with a lot of carbs. As for the safari vehicle was of good condition, clean and safe. We made a right decision to travel in a group of 4 people having other 2 seats available for putting our bags and photography equipment.
What we like most about this trip is our guide, Nickson, from Savannah Explorers. We appreciate his kindness, politeness and extensive knowledge of the wildlife. He spoke English well and took into account what we needed during the trip. He was flexible while managed to control the daily schedules, and he did not hesitate to request us to do him a favor by leaving early, like 6 a.m., so that we would not miss anything like the scenic sunrise or the only black rhino we encountered during our last game drive in Ngorongoro Crater. Of course, we saw all of the African Big 5. We believe that we got almost every highlight during the trip, so we couldn't be any happier ticking off our bucket list. As we had a really great time in Tanzania, we will definitely recommend Nickson and Savannah Exploreres to our Thai friends.
