A disastrous safari that felt like a scam
An appalling experience with Everlasting African Adventure. We paid a substantial amount for a five-day safari through Tarangire, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. The vehicle was dirty and in very poor condition; repeated breakdowns, delays, poor planning and misleading explanations cost us precious time and made the whole trip deeply stressful.
On 17 August, after we had entered the Serengeti and had lunch, the vehicle broke down. We were told the repair would take about 30 minutes. Instead, we were kept outside the park until around 5 p.m., losing practically the entire afternoon game drive. We were then taken to a campsite for other passengers and reached our lodge around 7:30 p.m., after dark. After the vehicle came back from the mechanic, we personally saw water being added to the radiator. Continuing for several more days in a vehicle that had broken down, with no clear reassurance that the problem had been properly fixed, felt dangerous and completely unacceptable.
The company promised to make up the lost safari time the following day. It did not. We left the park at about 2:30 p.m. and were back at our hotel by 4, with no meaningful extra game-drive time. On 19 August, we were told to be ready for a 6:20 a.m. pickup, but we did not leave until around 8. First the driver blamed the other passengers; later the company blamed fog. The other passengers told us they had also been waiting for the driver. We later heard that the vehicle was still being repaired overnight. The conflicting explanations and lack of basic communication were infuriating.
The group was badly organised from the start. Two passengers had booked a shorter itinerary and had flights to catch, while the rest of us had paid for the full five days. Their schedule repeatedly cut into ours. At Ngorongoro, after only about two hours in the crater, we were told around 11 a.m. that the group had to leave because those passengers needed to catch a flight. That flight had been booked by the company. The result was that the rest of us lost time on a safari we had paid to experience fully.
The guiding was also extremely poor. In the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, we received very little information about the parks, wildlife or places we were visiting. Other Italian travellers in our group were dissatisfied too and filed complaints.
Then came the promised compensation. At the end of the safari, the company committed to paying us USD 400: USD 200 immediately and the remaining USD 200 by the end of September. We have received **nothing**. After hundreds of messages asking for the money the company promised, we have had no proper response and they have stopped replying. We feel cheated. In our view, making a clear promise, paying nothing and then ignoring customers is the conduct of **SCAMMERS**.
A safari costs a lot of money. When you choose to invest in your holiday, choose the operator carefully: the company’s organisation and decisions can make or ruin the entire trip. I hope this review helps protect future travellers from losing their money and having their holiday ruined as ours was. Based on our experience, I would not recommend Everlasting African Adventure.

Very friendly guys at the booking agency always answered all questions at any hour
Beautiful views interesting life animals we advice you to stay in tents zebras go there
loland was very professional and prompt to h ll us organize a safari and Kilimanjaro climb.
My son climbed Kilimanjaro with Everlasting African adventures. And everything went beautifully and was well organized. There was an abundant of food and a lot of friendship made with both the porters and fellow climbers. LoLand made it very simple to communicate and the company was there to pick up my son and get him to all the different places he needed to go. They also helped him get all of the climbing gear. Before the Kilimanjaro claim, they also took him on Safari to the Serengeti, which was an incredible experience. We are very appreciative for all the personal help and communication with Everlasting African Adventure’s and all the people that work there. Loland was very much instrumental in getting everything g lined up. Grateful.

Very poor organization- not recommended
I recently concluded a 3 days safari from Arusha to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I have booked a mid range safari - lodge stay.
The Organization of the safari was very poor. Firstly, the operator did not explain to us that the transfer was included from and to the airport in ANY date, not only the start and end data of the safari, which made us spend over 80 euros in taxi for no reason.
Secondly, we booked a lodge stay and we were in the car with other 5 customers who booked public camp stays ( lower price range). Even if we paid more, we had less privileges than they. Firstly they were in accommodations very close to the finish point of the game drive. On the contrary, the operator booked us lodges that were located over 1hr from the camp, so we had to wake up at least 2hrs before the people staying in public camp and spend at least 2 extra hours/day in the car just from/to de lodge, which was very tiring. In addition, the car was always FULLY packed with camping equipment, including equipment for the cook which served mainly the camping folks, which made the ways very uncomfortable. For that reason, our car was VERY slow, as it was very heavy. Also, having the camp people together with lodge people caused many useless and unnecessary stops on the way, to pick up equipment, pick up the food, the cook, drop him off, and many others. We stayed up to 1 hr from our safari time just waiting for the camping people.
In general it was very “free style”, not organized so I would not recommend Everlasting safari for your safari in Tanzania if you want a stress free and comfortable experience as this was for sure not the case for us. The safari if self was good but this is mainly because the park themselves provide the environment and entertainment.
Reply from Everlasting African Adventure
Posted on Sep 14, 2026Dear Rafaela,
Thank you for your honest feedback. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.
Regarding the airport transfers, the airport pick-up and drop-off were included in your package. This is why we asked about your accommodation before the trip. You informed us that you would be staying at Katiti Lodge, which is approximately halfway between JRO Airport and Arusha, so we planned the transfer based on that information.
Also, on the last day of your safari, our driver specifically asked you what time you would like to be dropped off so that we could arrange the drop-off accordingly.
Regarding the shared safari, we would also like to clarify that it is common for shared safari operators to have clients staying at different accommodation properties. Clients book different packages and dates, and several companies may combine their guests into one safari vehicle. Therefore, even when clients are in the same vehicle, they may have booked through different companies and may be staying at different camps or lodges.
We offer different shared safari options. Some include accommodations located close to the public campsites, which are more expensive, while other options use accommodations located approximately 30–45 minutes away from the public campsites and are therefore more affordable.
The package you selected included some of our best accommodation options, and the itinerary provided also indicated the approximate distance of the hotels from the parks/campsites.
Nevertheless, we sincerely thank you for your honest review. We value your feedback and will use it to improve our communication and services for future clients.
We are sorry if any part of the arrangements did not meet your expectations, and we hope that despite these issues, you were still able to enjoy the beauty of Tanzania and your safari experience.
Kind regards.

Perfect
This was an amazing experience. We saw so many animals including rare ones and spectacular panoramic views on Ngorongoro and Serengeti. The accommodations was a tent in two different camps and both of them were nice. We had everything needed to enjoy this experience like USB charging in the car and warm sleeping bags to prevent the cold in Ngorongoro. But the real plus of this safari were Josh, Bob and Elvis. Bob is an amazing young cook that allows us to try so many typical and incredible meals from Tanzania. We spent two months in Tanzania and I am sure these 3 days where the ones where ate the best. Josh is one of the best guides you can find in the national parks. He can spot unique animals as little servals in the middle of the stray and provide detailed information about everything with also some crazy and funny story. They were all so kind and available to us making us feel "karibu" in this experience. I can really recommend them
