Conservation Caravan Safaris delivers on the safari trip of a life time!
In September 2026, our group of six friends embarked on a 13-day private safari and Zanzibar adventure with Conservation Caravan Safaris. We chose Conservation Caravan because other friends of ours had traveled with them and had an amazing experience. Based on their enthusiastic recommendation, we contacted Ombeni Samson Maka and his wife, Helen, and asked them to recreate the itinerary for us.
Our journey began in Arusha and took us through Tarangire National Park, the Central and Northern Serengeti, the Mara River region, and Ngorongoro Crater. Along the way, we enjoyed eight days of wildlife viewing in our Land Cruiser, comfortable safari lodges and tented camps. We also had an exhilarating sunrise hot-air balloon flight over the Serengeti - highly recommended. We concluded our trip with four nights on Zanzibar, exploring the history and culture of Stone Town before relaxing on the beautiful beaches of Nungwi.
From the initial planning through our final airport transfer, Conservation Caravan Safaris coordinated the entire experience, including accommodations, transportation, park visits, and excursions. Ombeni and Helen were always easy to reach, responsive to our questions, and an absolute pleasure to work with.
And then there was Brown Minja, our exceptional safari guide!
His knowledge of the animals, the landscape, and where to find wildlife added immeasurably to our adventure. He seemed to know just where to go, and his enthusiasm for sharing his knowledge made every game drive a learning experience. We saw the Big 5 in the first two days, and lost count at 65 lions! We enjoyed watching Brown interact with the other guides and lodge staff. His warmth and genuine friendships with the people we encountered spoke volumes about the kind of person he is.
One particularly heartwarming part of our experience. Brown encouraged us to share our leftover lunch items with people in need whom we encountered along the roads. It was a simple gesture that became a meaningful part of our journey and gave us an even greater appreciation for the people of Tanzania.
Most of all, we loved how Brown laughed with us—and at us! His wonderful sense of humor, and easygoing personality made him feel like part of our group rather than simply our guide. We will always remember Brown and the role he played in making memories that will last a lifetime.
Our heartfelt thanks to Ombeni, Helen, and especially Brown. We couldn't have asked for a more memorable introduction to Tanzania, and we wholeheartedly recommend Conservation Caravan Safaris to anyone considering a safari adventure. We felt it was a real value for the money.

For an unforgettable holiday in Tanzania, you can't beat Conservation Caravan Safaris!
This was my second time in Tanzania and I was looking for an adventure outside of a typical safari. Conservation Caravan Safaris listened and crafted the perfect trip for me that not only included one of my favorite stops - Zanzibar - but also some amazing new sights including the breathtaking Usambara Mountains, Mafia Island (where I swam with whale sharks), and Saadani National Park - the only park in Tanzania where you can see elephants, lions and hippos on the beach!
Conservation Caravan Safaris took care of everything from start to finish. Accommodations were comfortable and meals were top notch. The Irente View Cliff Lodge in Lushoto was a personal favorite with beautiful views and a fantastic avocado salad!
My guide, Ombeni Maka, was personable with a deep passion for and knowledge of his country, it's wildlife and unique culture. He made sure I felt comfortable and safe and went out of his way to be flexible and accommodate my needs.
I highly recommend Conservation Caravan Safaris for your African adventure - an unforgettable experience from safari to the sea!
Treat yourself to an amazing and fun African adventure above and beyond your highest expectations!
My mother’s “bucket list” wish was to see the wild elephants in Africa, so we booked our trip to Tanzania based on some friends’ advice who had lived throughout Africa. Our trip was above and beyond our greatest expectations, largely due to Ombeni Samson Maka, our wonderful tour guide! Ombeni was the ideal guide, knowing where to go, what to see, and greeting everyone we visited as a friend. He showed us not only amazing wildlife, but also explained the biological, ecological, and cultural aspects of what we were seeing. We visited street markets in Arusha, Oldupai Gorge, the Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Tarangire, and stayed at a tent camp in the Serengeti. We also had the pleasure of visiting a Masai tribe for a day and an elementary school on another day. Getting to see and interact with the local people and culture was amazing! The accommodations were fabulous, even in the middle of the Serengeti. The food was delicious, with a wide selection to choose from. I can’t say enough positive things about our experience… Due to Ombeni’s expertise I would go back in a heartbeat for my next African adventure! Just be sure to stay as long as you can… It will be an experience you will never forget!
