The Most Extraordinary Journey We Have Ever Taken
Some journeys entertain you. Others change you.
This one did both and more.
From the very first message, we felt something rare: genuine care. Mwanne from Oldbeast Vacations didn’t treat us like another booking or itinerary. He treated us like people with a dream. Every reply felt thoughtful, unrushed, and sincere, as if he was just as invested in this journey as we were. That trust, built before we even arrived, set the tone for everything that followed.
Then Tanzania opened itself to us.
The land was vast and humbling. Silent in some moments, overwhelming in others. Standing in the Serengeti, watching the horizon stretch endlessly while wildlife moved freely through it, was something no photo or video could ever prepare us for. Lions resting in the grass, elephants crossing slowly with quiet authority, cheetahs scanning the plains these were not just sightings, they were moments that stopped time.
What made the experience truly unforgettable was how natural everything felt. There was no rush, no pressure to “collect” animals. We learned to slow down, to observe, to feel the rhythm of the land. Each park had its own soul, its own mood, and by the end, we realized we weren’t just passing through nature we were being invited into it.
The lodges and camps became little sanctuaries after long days of wonder. Warm smiles, comforting meals, soft beds, and the distant sounds of the wild at night created a sense of peace we didn’t know we were missing. Falling asleep knowing lions roamed somewhere beyond the darkness is a feeling that stays with you.
But above all, it was the people who made this journey unforgettable. The quiet professionalism, the kindness, the pride in sharing their country it was evident in every interaction. Oldbeast Vacations didn’t just organize a safari; they crafted an experience filled with heart, respect, and authenticity.
We returned home with dusty shoes, full memory cards, and hearts that feel forever changed. This was not just a trip we’ll remember it’s a story we’ll carry with us for the rest of our lives.
Thank you, Mwanne. Thank you, Oldbeast Vacations.
You gave us something truly priceless.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari Journey with Oldbeast Vacations
Our journey began on the stunning island of Zanzibar, but the true magic unfolded the moment we flew into mainland Tanzania. From that point on, everything felt extraordinary, carefully crafted, and deeply memorable thanks to Oldbeast Vacations and the incredible organization by Mwanne.
Our stays at Meliá Serengeti Lodge and Meliá Ngorongoro were beyond anything we imagined. Waking up to endless landscapes, dramatic views, and the peaceful sounds of nature was an experience that words can hardly capture. The level of comfort, service, and elegance blended perfectly with the raw beauty of the surroundings, making us feel both pampered and connected to the wild.
The safari itself was absolutely breathtaking. The Serengeti touched us in a way we never expected. Seeing the Big Five in their natural habitat, watching wildlife move freely across the vast plains, and feeling the scale and power of nature so close was incredibly emotional. Every game drive felt different and exciting, filled with moments of silence, wonder, and pure amazement. The guides were exceptional knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely devoted to sharing the beauty of Tanzania. Their explanations and stories brought every sighting to life.
After days filled with adventure, awe, and unforgettable encounters, returning to Zanzibar felt like the perfect ending. Time slowed down, allowing us to reflect on everything we had experienced and fully absorb how special this journey truly was.
This was not just a vacation. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that left a lasting mark on us. Oldbeast Vacations, with the thoughtful planning and care of Mwanne, created a journey that exceeded every expectation. We will carry these memories with us forever and wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone dreaming of an unforgettable African safari.

More Than a Safari, A Journey We Will Never Forget
Choosing Oldbeast Vacations turned our trip to Tanzania into something truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, everything felt calm, well organized, and genuinely personal, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the journey ahead.
When we landed at Kilimanjaro Airport, a driver was already waiting for us and took us straight to our hotel in Arusha. There was no stress, no confusion, just a warm welcome and a smooth start to our adventure. Later that day, we were picked up again to explore Arusha and do some shopping, which was a wonderful way to ease into the country and its culture.
The next morning, our safari began, and from that point on, every day exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Hendry, was exceptional. His experience and deep knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and history of Tanzania made each drive fascinating. He explained animal behavior with clarity and passion, always making sure we understood what we were seeing and why it mattered. We felt completely safe with him at all times, and his calm, confident driving made even long distances comfortable.
Thanks to Hendry’s sharp eye and understanding of the parks, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five along with countless other animals in their natural habitat. Every sighting felt special and unhurried, giving us time to truly appreciate the moment rather than rushing from one stop to the next.
We chose a luxury safari, and every detail lived up to that promise. The accommodations were beautiful and well located, the food was consistently delicious, and the scenery was breathtaking at every stop. Packed lunches prepared by the hotels were excellent, and Hendry always made sure we stopped at clean and comfortable places during long drives, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
What truly set Oldbeast Vacations apart was the level of care and attention throughout the entire trip. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and even when we asked for small changes or added activities, they were handled effortlessly.
This was far more than just a safari. It was a journey filled with awe, comfort, and unforgettable memories. If you are planning a trip to Tanzania and want an experience that feels personal, safe, and deeply rewarding, we cannot recommend Oldbeast Vacations highly enough.
Joshua Made Our Safari Truly Exceptional
Our safari experience with Oldbeast Vacations was absolutely outstanding and perfectly organized from start to finish. Everything ran smoothly and on time, with impressive attention to detail and professionalism throughout the entire journey.
Our guide, Joshua, truly made the trip unforgettable. His deep knowledge of the wildlife and the area, combined with his patience and sharp eye, ensured that we saw all the animals we had hoped for, including lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, cheetahs, and more. Somehow, he always managed to find the perfect viewing spots, giving us incredible photo opportunities and unforgettable moments every single day.
Beyond his skill as a guide, Joshua’s kindness, dedication, and genuine care truly set him apart. He was attentive to every detail, always smiling, and consistently went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy.
This was truly a once in a lifetime experience, and much of that is thanks to Joshua. Highly recommended.
An Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari Beyond Our Dreams
We spent months searching, comparing, and dreaming about the perfect safari for our honeymoon, and choosing Oldbeast Vacations turned out to be one of the best decisions of our lives. From the very first conversation, we felt understood, cared for, and genuinely excited about what was being planned for us. This was not just a trip, it was a carefully crafted life experience. Under the leadership of the director, Mwanne, that passion and attention to detail was evident in every step of the journey.
Our adventure included an 8-day safari through Northern Tanzania starting from Arusha, followed by 6 blissful days in Zanzibar, and every single detail was handled seamlessly. Anna was absolutely incredible throughout the booking process. She listened carefully to what we wanted, anticipated what we didn’t even know we needed, and designed an itinerary that felt completely tailored to us. The hotels and safari camps she selected were beautiful, romantic, and perfectly located. We never once felt stressed or uncertain, everything flowed effortlessly.
Then came the safari itself, and there are truly no words strong enough to describe it.
Our guide, Samir, was nothing short of exceptional. With over 13 years of experience, his confidence, calm presence, and deep knowledge were evident from the very first day. He wasn’t just driving us through the parks, he was opening a window into the soul of Tanzania. He understood the animals, their behavior, the land, the culture, and the rhythm of the wilderness in a way that made every moment feel meaningful. He always positioned the vehicle perfectly, getting us incredibly close to wildlife and creating unforgettable views and photos. Long days in the jeep never felt tiring because we felt safe, comfortable, and completely in the best hands.
What truly stood out was how personal the experience was. It was just the two of us in the jeep, while we often saw other vehicles packed with six or seven people. That intimacy made everything more magical. It felt like the wilderness belonged only to us. Samir’s skill and experience were on a completely different level compared to what we observed from larger tour companies, and he made every day feel special.
And the wildlife, it was beyond anything we ever imagined. We saw everything. Leopards resting in trees, rhinos grazing peacefully, hippos submerged in rivers, cheetahs on the move, lions in their raw power, elephants crossing right in front of us, and endless herds of zebras stretching across the plains. There were moments when we simply sat in silence, overwhelmed with emotion, realizing we were witnessing something truly rare and beautiful.
One of the most unforgettable moments of our lives was the hot air balloon safari. Floating silently over the Serengeti at sunrise, watching the land awaken beneath us, was pure magic. It is truly a once in a lifetime experience and something we will cherish forever.
This trip wasn’t just a honeymoon, it was the beginning of our shared story, filled with wonder, awe, and deep gratitude. Oldbeast Vacations didn’t just organize a safari, they created memories that will live in our hearts forever.
To Oldbeast Vacations, to Mwanne, to Anna, and especially to Samir, thank you for giving us an experience that exceeded every expectation. We will never forget this journey, and we would choose you again in a heartbeat.
