Not happy
Unfortunately, we weren’t satisfied with the safari. The reasons were the route selection—which involved very long drive times over rough terrain—and the fact that we started from the same starting point three times. This meant we had to cover the same distances over and over; on top of that, we had to change accommodations every day! The planning for the Kilimanjaro hike was really poor: 3 hours for the drive to the starting point, at least 5 hours of hiking, and 4 hours back to the next lodge. A minimum of 12 hours for a day trip shows that the planning wasn’t very good. It would certainly be helpful to include information in the quote about the duration and road conditions of the transfers; we can’t estimate these ourselves, which is why we book through a professional.
Unfortunately, the selection of lodges wasn’t ideal and, in some cases, was at the lower end of the spectrum in terms of comfort and service. The same goes for the location and access; after a day trip, a centrally located lodge would be appreciated
One more comment on the Kilimanjaro hike. Why were we only informed the evening before the scheduled hike that there had been a fire on the plateau three days earlier and that all hikes had been suspended? Early notification would have saved us a lot of back-and-forth.
Our guide, Emmanuel, did a very good job as both driver and guide. Car breakdowns (twice) can happen, but he handled them very well each time and ensured we could continue our journey without any problems. The only question here is: how well are the vehicles maintained?
Sorry, Petro—this can certainly be done better.

Unforgettable safari experience
We had our 7-day private Safari in September with Safari360. We visited Tarangire NP, Serengeti (central and north) and Ngorongoro Crater. On our final day, we visited a Maasai village. We were lucky to see many animals, including big five: Huge heards of zebras and wildebeast, elephants and giraffes next to our jeep, hippos and crocodiles bathing in the river, buffaloes and rhinos in the crater and finally many big cats like lions, leopards an servals up close. We also tried for a Mara rivercrossing, but not luck here. (Pro tip: Good binoculars are key, we rented at secret gear outdoor rental arusha)
In our private tour we were able to customize our itinerary. Our safari guide Tily gave it his all. Everyday we started the drives at sunrise and finished at sunset. During the game drives Tily allways wanted to show us everything there is to see, wich was very nice! Also he is very safe driver. When asked, Tily shared his immense knowledge of the animals and nature.
Our accomdations were mostly tented lodges especially in the NPs. All camps were very nice and met our expectations. Also vegetarian food was available everywhere. Hearing the hippos scream at night next to our tent was definetly an experience.
Safari360 adapted with to all our wishes and at an unbeatable price too (compared to similar companies). They took longer to reply but their quotes and material was well elaborated and professional.
All in all we had wonderful safari and an unforgettable experience in Tanzania.
Fabulous experience with a top guide
We have just returned from a 5-day safari.
We went to Tarangiri national Park, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater & lake manyara NP.
Animal highlights included being close up to a pride of lions, viewings of a cheetah with her cubs, the obligatory sleeping leopard in the tree and up close and personal with a white rhino in the crater.
But all the zebras giraffes wildebeest and countless others were sensational and added to the whole overall experience.
But another highlight was probably our wonderful guide Godlove ("Chief!") !
The accommodation & food was excellent and beyond our expectations.
Our only criticism which we passed on to our guide was the Jeep itself. Now very old and could do with an upgrade. Windows are hard to Open & close as was one of the passenger doors. We managed but it did detract a little bit...
Very good value for money for a private tour.
Thank you for a wonderful experience which we will treasure for many years !

Exzellent experience
We have just returned from our 6 days safari with Safari 360 and we look back with great joy and gratitude. The company itself offered us a very comfortable booking procedure, had quick answer times and adjusted the tour easily to our wishes.
What made the trip unique and outstanding was our guide Iddy. Apart from the fact that he is a careful and safe driver and managed to handle these Tanzanian roads with great routine and without any flat tire, he always found the perfect pace and timing with us. Thanks to him we saw such a lot of amazing animals and got interesting input. Iddy's klowledge about wildlife and nature ist really impressive, and we learned a lot. Just watch out if he tells you you may go swimming with the hippos - it may be a joke!
Thanks, Iddy, you made our safari an outstanding experience!

Fabulous
The safari was absolutely wonderful—beautifully structured and exceptionally well organized. We truly appreciated the professionalism and punctuality throughout the experience. Being able to immerse ourselves in the savannah and observe so many animals was unforgettable.
Our guide, Lamek, was incredibly professional, highly knowledgeable, and remarkably efficient. His expertise made the experience even more special and was a real added value. We would highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure!
