Sit back, relax and let yourself be guided – everything is taken care of for an unforgettable experi
5/5

Everything was perfectly organised from start to finish. We booked a 4-day safari, starting in Tarangire, then heading to the Serengeti, and finishing in the Ngorongoro Crater.

From the moment we arrived at the airport, everything was taken care of. We didn't have to worry or think about a thing\! Every day, we received a WhatsApp message telling us what time to wake up, when breakfast would be served, and then we were ready to go. It was so nice to simply relax and enjoy the experience.

We absolutely loved all three parks\!

Day 1 – Tarangire National Park

Tarangire is very dense with wildlife. You can see so many animals, often very close, in a relatively short amount of time. It was a fantastic introduction to the safari experience. We spent the night in a hotel.

Day 2 – The journey to the Serengeti

This is when the real safari adventure begins\! The only thing I hadn't quite anticipated was the long journey. The Serengeti is quite far away, and it takes around 5–6 hours by car to reach the park before starting the game drive.

Only about an hour of this journey is on paved roads. After that, the real African massage begins\! The bumpy tracks make you realise why a proper safari jeep is essential.

That evening, we stayed in a bush camp. It was a wonderful experience, especially hearing lions roaring during the night\!

Day 3 – A full day in the Serengeti

An absolutely incredible day\! We spent the whole day exploring the Serengeti and saw so many animals. Our guide took us to some amazing spots and showed us spectacular wildlife encounters. We saw some truly unforgettable scenes.

In the evening, we drove towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where we stayed overnight, roughly halfway along the return journey. We also had the option of stopping at a Maasai village, which was a nice additional experience.

We spent the night in another camp, which was a little more comfortable than the previous one.

Day 4 – Ngorongoro Crater

The final day was the perfect way to end our safari\! The Ngorongoro Crater is absolutely breathtaking, with incredible landscapes and an amazing concentration of wildlife. A truly spectacular finale\!

What we particularly loved:

- Unlimited drinking water available in the vehicle.
- Freshly prepared meals cooked by a chef who travels with the group throughout the safari.
- An experienced guide who knew exactly where to find the animals and brought us incredibly close to some amazing wildlife encounters.
- The guide's explanations and knowledge about the animals, which made the experience even more interesting.
- Above all, the excellent organisation: we never had to worry about logistics or what was coming next.

A few things worth knowing before you go:

- Remember to budget for tips for both the guide and the cook, as these are not included in the safari price. As a guideline, expect around $5–10 per person per day for the cook and $10–20 per person per day for the guide. This is how tipping generally works on safari.
- Bring a sleeping bag liner for the nights in the tents. Sleeping bags are provided.
- Bring a face mask or buff to protect yourself from the dust, especially during the long drive on day 2.
- Be prepared for quite a lot of driving\! A safari can be tiring due to the bumpy roads, noise and dust. It's all part of the adventure, but it's good to know beforehand.

Overall, this was a fantastic experience and we couldn't recommend this company more highly\!

Everything was incredibly well organised, the guide was excellent, the food was great and the value for money was outstanding.

A huge thank you to the whole team for making this such an unforgettable experience. We would recommend this company without hesitation!

A great local safari company at a fair price
5/5

I decided to book my safari with a local company and definitely didn’t regret it! It was a great way to support local tourism, and the team was available 24/7, always ready to help with any questions or requests.

I booked a 5-day safari covering Lake Manyara, Tarangire, two days in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. The wildlife experience was incredible! I saw an amazing variety of animals, including all the big cats I had hoped to see, as well as both black and white rhinos in Ngorongoro.

The guides were friendly and experienced, and our excellent chef made sure we were never hungry. Camping in the middle of the wilderness was an adventure in itself — with zebras and antelopes wandering between the tents at night, and who knows what else!

An unforgettable experience, countless memories and hundreds of photos to take home. Highly recommended to anyone who loves wildlife and wants an authentic safari experience with a local company!

Amazing safari
5/5

The safari was well-organised and everyone from Serengeti Captain was really helpful with answering questions and accommodating requests. They were very easy to contact during the safari as well. I had a great time in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro and the number of animals we saw in those days was amazing. The driver Eric was great, he was really knowledgeable and friendly

Very knowledgeable and a nice person
5/5

Awesome tour guide!
5/5

My family and I spent a day with Baltazary in Arusha. We all enjoyed it including my 3 teenagers. He was an outstanding guide with a warm, friendly personality and a wealth of knowledge. He showed us the local culture and also showed us the city’s must-see attractions. A highlight for us was a tour of the central market. We highly recommend Baltazary!
