Spectacular
The roads are disgusting. I feel sorry for the vehicle and driver
The roads department should get there together and do something about it

Amazing
I always felt very secure despite sellers always around us! I stayed in Red Monkey Beach Lodge in Jambiani beach and was perfect! People so nice and always helpful! The only problem is the drive to stone town or other places because the roads were bad! Loved going to mainland and making safari! Don’t lose the opportunity to go to ngorongoro because is one of a kind!! It was to little time!! Needed more because everything was amazing!

In TZ the wildlife and people were both incredible.
Safari Bookings was a very smooth process. They accommodated our interests completely and gave us a great safari experience. Initially, it is an adjustment to wire money internationally, but it went smoothly and safely. They accommodated the dietary needs for my son and I (gluten free) which was a relief. Also, my wife added a stop at Oldupai Gorge and with short notice they made the adjustment. It was a very interesting stopover and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. All vendors for the guide/driving and lodging/meals were excellent. We would use them again. And by the way, we went on the longer safari of 6 nights and 7 days. If nature and animals is your goal then don’t hesitate to have more safari time and less Zanzibar time. It was only on our last full Serengeti day that we saw a leopard and then on the drive back the next day we saw a cheetah. Both would have been missed with a short safari.

Incredible Experience with the BEST Guide!
The Serengeti guided tour was incredible. Joshua, our guide was a great driver and so very knowledgeable. We saw all the big animals pretty much every day. We saw incredibly beautiful birds and amazing scenery. The balloon ride over the migrating zebras and wildebeest. We saw lions, giraffes, elephants and all from high up. It was amazing. We were feet away from Cheetas gorging on a wildebeest, feet away from lions, giraffes, hyenas, playing monkeys, we even saw rhinos. My absolutely favourite were the flamingos. Sea of pink that I'll never forget. The weather was spring like but not too wet. No bugs at all. Driving through the villages and seeing the Maasai people and villages brought a lot of reality back to life. Peaceful, kind people who smile and appreciate everything they have. Kids that are learning about life and responsibilities early on to have a strong base. The have genuine smiles that melt your heart. Humble people. We felt completely safe.
The accommodations were great. I loved glamping with buffalo in the yard for a couple of days. The Arusha Melia hotel had a buffet that was next level! Delicious!! The food on the trip was great. There was plenty of it and it was tasty. I have to say that I would highly recommend this wonderful company, whose staff greeted us so beautifully and took such wonderful care of us during our two week trip. Thank you once again.

Very special and impressive
We did a 4-day tour, visited Tanrangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, which was really great. We went with 2 children aged 16 and 20, who also enjoyed it. Even though there was a rainy season, we saw and did a lot. Many thanks go to the staff of Serengeti Africans Tours. Very nice and helpful. Made an unforgettable trip.

Amazing experience during rain season
I had an amazing time during my safari. I read april is not a good time to go, but I would definitely recommend going around this time! Everything was very green and beautiful, this makes it slightly harder to spot animals, but I have seen a lot (complete big 5!). And during this time there are not as much tourists, we watched many animals which were very close with only three other cars (our guide told us this can be around 100 during high season). Amazing experience!!
HOWEVER be aware that during low season it is hard to get full groups, meaning that the organisation can be a bit chaotic. I was with a group of 7 in total, some went on safari for 2 nights, 3 nights and 4 nights and one person booked a more high end trip and had different accomodation. This also confused our guide quite a bit, he was not always aware of our schedule. Organisation and communication about change in plans could be improved. The order of parks was different and I also stayed in different accomodation (I only camped one night instead of 4 which was nice), this is no problem but it would be nice to receive an updated schedule in advance.

Decent Safari experience with the guide asking about tip everytime
The experience of Safari was really valuable, except our guide keep talking us about tipping him whenever he has some free time, which made us very upset.
Tip your driver and guide is not a mandatory thing. I want to tip someone only if I am satisfied with the service. But our guide was quite demanding, keep asking about it. Now all I remember from the Safari is ripping off from the tour guide lol
The time we spent at Safari was only 3-4 hours, and we could see wild animals like giraffs and elephant etc.
We are not lucky enough to come across liones or leopards.
It was a precious experience, but I can not recoomend you taking a SUV for more than 7 hours from dar es salaam to Mikumi.
