Great communication with Danford and Victor was the most amazing guide
We want on a safari as a family of 5 with 3 teenagers. Our trip started in Arusha where Danford had booked us into Planet Lodge which was a nice hotel with bungalow like rooms, which fitted us perfect as we could have connecting rooms.
Victor talked us through the safari the night before leaving, which was great as it gave us a view of what to expect. Although a safari is about a lot of unexpected experiences. Danford recommended us to go to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Ndutu and Central Serengeti and this was great advice. We got very different experiences each day. Victor was also quite fantastic, he saw things other guides didn't which as an example gave us a sighting of a baby leopard just next to our car. His knowledge was a big part of our total experience.
We did have a hickup with one of the tented camps but Danford swiftly helped with this. Other than that all was as described or better. we stayed in Ngorongoro Wild Camp, Safari Haven in Ndutu and Kontiki in Central Serengeti. In our view, the Kontiki was the nicest of these 3, and also where we got animals close to the tent. However, the food was best at Ngorongoro Wild Camp.
If we were to change anything at all, it would be to stay in Moshi the first night and Arusha second, instead of 2 nights in Arusha as we did now. we went on a coffee tour on the hills of Kilimanjaro our second day and it would have meant a few hours less in the car. But this is the only minor thing we would change. The coffee experience was also great, and we recommend taking the time for it.
We definitely recommend booking with Paws and Claws and if possible have Victor as a guide.
Exceptional Safaris Company
I and my friend had a safari to Mikumi for 2 nights 3 days. The operation was so smooth from the booking, on arrival and departure. The safari was excelent, the accommodation was topnotch and the guide had extraordinary experience on both wildlife and wild plant. We are so grateful to book with paws and claws safaris. I highly recommend
Top notch safari company
We had a best safari experience in Mikumi National Park. The paws and claws team were excellent and kin to the details. The safari guide Ramadhani was experience with deep knowledge on wildlife. We really enjoyed and recommend Paws and claws for your safari adventures
Victor was incredible during our visit. An extended member of the Maclachlans family
On day 1 Victor came to meet us at the hotel and explain our plans for forward travel the following day.
08:00 on day 1 we left Arusha and headed to Tarangiere national park. It was a very smooth journey as we arrived at the park ~2 hours later.
The park was amazing - exactly as we imagined. Victors knowledge and care was first class.
Afterwards we made the journey to our accommodation at Eileen’s Trees - again it was an extremely warm welcome from the staff and victor explained the plans for day 2.
At 08:00 on day 2 we met Victor and we headed off on a shorter drive to Lake Manyara, what we didn’t expect was this safari to be completely different. The animals we seen were different and very close and personal. Elephants were our highlight, appearing out of the forests. Victors knowledge and attention to detail to maximise our experience shone through again.
Day 3 would be our highlight. We met at 07:00 and headed to Ngorongoro national park. The view point for the park is incredible. Goosebumps all round on seeing the incredible view. Victor shared the story on how this crater was created. Again sharing his vast knowledge. As we entered the crater we were immediately welcomed by a very rare cat sighting before heading off for another rare sighting of 3 black rhinos.
What shown through for all 3 days was Victors love for his job. He became our tour guide, family member and chief photographer - capturing some amazing photographs.
During last night in Eileen’s tree house - Victor joined us for dinner. Unbeknown to us, he had arranged for the staff to bake a cake and present it in traditional fashion to my wife for her 40th birthday. This was an amazing experience and showed the care and compassion Victor had for our family.
Day 4 - we headed back to Arusha but on the way stoppped off at a Massai village for an unforgettable experience.
The whole safari surpassed our expectations and Victor played a massive part in us enjoying it

Attentive to details, and incredibly reliable and caring. Seamless planning!!
This was our very first safari and it was beyond anything we imagined! From sunrise game drives to spotting wildlife up close, every moment felt magical. The team made us feel safe, comfortable, and truly taken care of. Kudos to Philip. Amazing guide with incredible knowledge. The lodges were cozy and welcoming, and the guides were so knowledgeable and passionate about the animals and nature. Couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to safaris – highly recommend this experience!
