A Wild Dream Come True in the Heart of Tanzania
I recently had the absolute pleasure of embarking on a four day safari adventure with Oldbeast Vacations, exploring the breathtaking landscapes of the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire. From the very beginning until the final goodbye, this journey exceeded every expectation I had. From the very reasonable price to the overall quality of the experience, everything was simply outstanding.
Our driver and guide, Max, was truly one of the highlights of the entire safari. He was an incredibly smooth and confident driver, but even more impressive was his deep knowledge of wildlife, nature, and the ecosystems we explored. Every game drive felt educational and exciting at the same time. His sense of humor kept our spirits high, and his passion for what he does made each day even more enjoyable.
The accommodations were nothing short of extraordinary. We stayed in truly unreal locations, surrounded by raw nature and wildlife. Being so close to elephants and buffaloes in their natural habitat was something I never imagined experiencing so intimately. At night, the sounds of the African wilderness filled the air, creating an atmosphere that was both thrilling and peaceful. Despite being so close to nature, we always felt completely safe and well taken care of.
The food was another unforgettable part of the journey. Every single meal was delicious and beautifully prepared, showcasing the best of Tanzanian flavors. Our chef was incredibly talented, kind, and accommodating, always making sure everyone was happy and well fed. His passion for cooking turned every meal into a highlight of the day. A true legend.
Overall, this safari with Oldbeast Vacations was truly a once in a lifetime experience that I will cherish forever. If you are planning a trip to Tanzania and want an authentic, well organized, and unforgettable safari, I cannot recommend Oldbeast Vacations enough. This is an adventure you will never forget.
A Childhood Dream Come True
As a child and teenager, I always dreamed of going on a safari, and I can honestly say that my expectations were more than exceeded.
One unforgettable part of the experience was the breathtaking nature. From Tarangire and Lake Manyara to the vast Serengeti and the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, each place was incredibly diverse and beautiful. I have never felt so connected to nature and to our origins as I did on this journey.
Equally impressive was how well everything was organized by Oldbeast Vacations. Our organiser, Mwanne, made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Our guide, James, was simply the best guide you could wish for. He shared so much knowledge about the wildlife, took us to the most stunning locations, and truly did everything possible to give us an unforgettable adventure. While every place was special, the viewpoint over the Ngorongoro Crater and watching the sunset in the middle of the Serengeti were definite highlights.
Even as someone who is quite picky when it comes to food, I found something delicious to enjoy every single day.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Oldbeast Vacations to anyone dreaming of an authentic and unforgettable safari experience.

A Perfect 10 Out of 10 Safari Adventure
Quite simply, this was the best experience of my life. From the moment we arrived in Arusha, everything was perfectly organized by Oldbeast Vacations. Our driver was waiting for us and took us to our hotel, which was simple but had everything we needed. Our organiser, Mwanne, ensured everything ran smoothly, and Daniel came to our hotel to brief us about the trip. He was very friendly and answered all of our questions clearly, which immediately put us at ease.
They arranged transport to the start of the safari, where we met our guide, Joshua.
Joshua was absolutely exceptional. He was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He knew exactly where to find the animals, and we managed to see almost everything on the very first day. His experience, calm driving, and passion for wildlife truly made the safari unforgettable.
Our cook, Fredy, was also outstanding. The food was delicious, freshly prepared, and there was always plenty of it. We never went hungry, and every meal exceeded expectations.
The campsites were basic but perfectly fine. They were clean, well organized, and everything was set up for us in advance. The team consistently went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of.
The safari vehicles were comfortable and spacious, even for someone my height at 6 foot 5. The pop-up roof allowed for incredible views and amazing wildlife sightings.
Overall, this was a genuine 10 out of 10 experience with a 10 out of 10 company. I could not recommend Oldbeast Vacations highly enough. If I ever return to Tanzania, I will absolutely book with them again.
Thank you, Joshua and Fredy, for an unforgettable adventure.

A Truly Memorable Safari Experience
My fiancé and I went on a 5-day safari with Oldbeast Vacations, and Joshua was our guide. During these five days, we visited four national parks – Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Manyara – each unique in its own way. The tour was perfectly planned. Even when there were last-minute changes due to new people joining, Joshua handled everything so smoothly that it had no impact on our trip.
The jeep we rode in was very comfortable, which we greatly appreciated after hours on the road. We chose the mid-range lodge option, and all our accommodations were fantastic, with Suricata Boma Lodge standing out as our absolute favorite. Breaks were well-timed, and whenever we needed an extra pause, Joshua made sure we got it without slowing down the adventure.
The meals were another highlight. We were accompanied by a chef who prepared lunches for us, mostly local dishes full of fresh vegetables – so vegetarians don’t have to worry! Every meal was delicious and a true taste of Tanzania.
Above all, we want to thank Joshua. He made our trip the experience of a lifetime. His deep knowledge of wildlife, flora and fauna, and Tanzanian customs enriched every moment. He is a skilled and careful driver, expertly navigating bumpy roads among wild animals. On top of that, he’s a genuinely wonderful person, with a sophisticated sense of humor that we all loved, and he treated us like friends rather than just tourists.
Thanks to Joshua, we saw the Big 5 and even the “Ugly 5”! I feel like a 12-year-old coming back from the best summer camp, and I will truly miss this experience.
Our contact person, Mwanne, was also amazing, keeping everything organized and making the booking process smooth and stress-free.

Honeymoon Safari Review – A Truly Unforgettable 5 Star Experience
My wife and I went on a 5 day group safari with Oldbeast Vacations for our honeymoon, and it was an absolutely incredible experience from beginning to end. The entire trip was organized seamlessly, and working with Oldbeast Vacations was genuinely stress free. Our contact person, Mwanne, was always quick to respond, clear with communication, and very helpful throughout the booking process.
Once our safari began, the adventure became even more magical.
We were guided by Joshua, who was exceptional in every way. Warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, he brought the entire landscape to life. His passion for the wildlife and the region was evident in every explanation, every story, and every moment he spent with us. Joshua’s ability to spot animals from far distances was astonishing, and thanks to him we were able to witness countless amazing wildlife sightings that we would have easily missed on our own. He always stopped whenever someone in the group showed interest in an animal, making the entire experience feel personal, thoughtful, and truly unforgettable.
Our accommodations throughout the trip were comfortable, clean, and perfect for relaxing after days out in the wild. The meals were delicious, and we deeply appreciated how carefully they catered to dietary needs. My wife requires gluten free food, and the team handled it with such professionalism and care that we never had a single worry.
This safari was everything we had hoped our honeymoon would be, and so much more full of wonder, adventure, and moments we will cherish forever.
We would highly recommend Oldbeast Vacations. A flawless, 5 star experience from start to finish.
