4/5

An amazing experience ! that we will never forget. The guide Fidelis is excellent and funny, speaks fluent English, explains everything in detail, brings us to the best places and knows where to go to see the craziest animals. We were with other very nice tourists, so the experience was even better. The place provides accommodation. All the other staff are nice and always looking to help. What I would improve is the whole point of the pick-up and return to the hotel. This should be included in the price without any problems. We had to arrive independently because they asked us for an extra fee to get to the location in the center and it was a 6-minute drive, and on the way back, the hotel was in the city, just far from the center, so we had to get organized. In any case, I still recommend them, a good company. ;)

A very well organised safari.
5/5

Everything about the safari trip was great!
All the Lodges were really good. I saw so many animals close up and personal, even the Big 5! And Humphrey, our driver and guide was brilliant!! So knowledgeable, helpful, patient, fun to be with and an all round good guy, he is an asset to the company.

Mike is the best guide
5/5

The guide we had, Mike, was excellent, and I would highly recommend him. He puts a great deal of effort into finding animals and actively engaging clients throughout the safari. His dedication and enthusiasm made the experience particularly enjoyable.

The only point I would raise regarding the agency is that they accommodate clients staying at different lodges in the same vehicle. In the morning, the guide has to pick up clients from several different locations, which delays the start of the safari. I believe it would be much more efficient if all clients sharing the same vehicle were staying at the same lodge or camp.

In any case, I would like to emphasise that Mike is an excellent guide, and he made the overall experience perfect.

Humphrey is the best Guide !
5/5

We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Humphrey! He is a very kind, warm-hearted, and friendly person. He knows the entire area extremely well and shared a lot of interesting information with us. He is also a very skilled and safe safari driver, which made us feel comfortable throughout the whole experience. We really enjoyed our time with him and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and friendly guide!

DO NOT SIT FRONT ROW WITH THIS MAN.🤨😎😏😜
5/5

I recently survived a 6-day safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Manyara, and the Serengeti. I say "survived" because I made the fatal mistake of taking the front passenger seat next to our guide, Humphrey.
Humphrey’s primary weapon is a dry, razor-sharp sarcasm that could wilt a baobab tree. If you enjoy being ruthlessly roasted at 5:00 AM while looking for lions, he’s your guy.
Here are a few reasons you should avoid him at all costs:
- He ruins the surprise of everything. Want to spend two hours searching for wildlife? Forget it. The man is an insufferable human radar. He’ll casually point toward an empty patch of grass two miles away and say, "Oh look, a waterbuck," where the rest of us normal humans just see dirt. It’s completely unfair to the antelope trying to hide.
- He claims to love animals, but I suspect he knows them personally. The sheer volume of wildlife facts he spews makes me think he’s in a secret group chat with the Big Five.
- His driving is a subtle form of torture. He calls the bone rattling dirt roads an "African Massage." I call it a full-body chiropractor adjustment delivered via Toyota Land Cruiser. The worst part? His driving is so smooth and competent that you can't even complain properly, you just have to sit there and take the therapy.
- He made me feel included. As a solo traveler, I was fully prepared to sit quietly in the back and be awkward. Humphrey immediately ruined that by making me feel like part of the crew, forcing me to actually laugh and have fun for six days straight. Exhausting.

The only saving grace of the entire ordeal was our chef, Thadues. While Humphrey was busy destroying my self-esteem with his wit, Thadues was quietly keeping us alive with incredible food, going out of his way to cater to dietary restrictions, including actually delicious gluten-free meals.

If you want a boring, quiet driver who can't spot a leopard if it jumped on the hood, do NOT book Humphrey. But if you want a master spotter who will keep you laughing and safe the entire trip... fine, ride shotgun. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
