Grateful Hearts, Wild Lands: Thank You, Oldbeast Vacations
From start to finish, this was an unforgettable experience—truly the trip of a lifetime! Every part of our journey, from the breathtaking wildlife to the delicious meals to the incredibly warm and hardworking staff, exceeded anything we had imagined.
Our safari guide, Julius, was phenomenal. His deep knowledge of the animals and their habitats, paired with his respectful and patient approach, gave us the chance to truly witness wildlife—not just see it. We watched lions nursing their young, elephants playing together, and zebras grooming one another. Julius always found the perfect spot for us to observe without intruding. His passion made every moment feel deeply personal and magical.
One thing we hadn’t fully anticipated was how much the weather varied between locations. Mornings sometimes started out brisk in the 50s before warming up to the 70s during the day. We did experience some cooler, rainy days too, so layering is essential. Check with your tour operator about weather in each area so you can pack wisely.
We were pleasantly surprised not to encounter any mosquitos during our trip—likely due to the cooler weather—which meant we didn’t really need bug spray or preventative medicine. Also, because all game drives are done by vehicle and walking in the habitats isn’t allowed, sun exposure was minimal.
The drives themselves were often bumpy and dusty, with long stretches on rough dirt or rocky roads—but this only added to the adventure and authenticity of the experience.
The accommodations were absolutely fantastic! We stayed in a variety of beautiful places—from elegant hotel-style lodges to luxurious canvas tented camps. We chose the luxury package, and every site had hot water and comfortable amenities that made us feel pampered even in the wild. The staff at each location went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and well cared for.
And the food… wow! Each lodge had its own unique touch, but all offered a variety of dishes that could accommodate any dietary needs. Breakfasts and dinners were generous self-serve buffets, and we were always well-fed. Lunches during game drives ranged from warm meals to boxed lunches—though we had more of the latter, they were always plentiful, and we never went hungry!
We wholeheartedly recommend Oldbeast Vacations—and if you're lucky enough to get Julius as your guide, you are in for something truly special. This was more than a vacation; it was a journey that touched our hearts and filled us with lifelong memories.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Oldbeast Vacations!
From start to finish, this was the most amazing experience! Everything—from the incredible wildlife we encountered, to the delicious food, to the friendly and hardworking staff—completely exceeded our expectations.
Our Safari Guide, Julius, was absolutely outstanding! He always found the best vantage points to observe the animals in their natural habitats. He gave us time to truly enjoy watching them eat, play, and interact as families—nursing, grooming, and more. His expertise made the experience even more meaningful.
One thing we hadn’t anticipated was the variance in weather. We highly recommend asking about the climate in each area you’ll visit. Most days were sunny with highs in the 70s (°F), starting cooler in the 50s, but we did have a few rainy and chilly days—especially in the evenings. Layered clothing is key!
Surprisingly, we didn’t encounter any mosquitos, likely thanks to the cooler weather. As a result, we didn’t need bug spray or preventative medicine, but it’s still wise to check based on your travel season. Also, sun exposure was minimal since all game drives were in enclosed Jeeps, and there was no walking allowed in the habitats.
A quick heads-up: The drives can be quite bumpy and dusty due to mostly dirt and rocky roads—part of the adventure!
As for accommodations—fantastic across the board! We stayed in a mix of hotel-style lodges and luxury canvas tents. We opted for the luxury package, and even though hot water wasn’t available at a couple of locations, everything else was exceptional. The staff at every stop were welcoming, professional, and truly went above and beyond.
And the food… wow! While each site offered its own twist on the menu, most meals were similar and designed to suit all dietary needs. Breakfast and dinner were typically buffet-style, with plenty to choose from. Lunch during game drives varied—some hot meals, but mostly boxed lunches. While the quality of box lunches varied slightly, they were always very generous in portion size. Trust us—you will not go hungry!
We cannot recommend Oldbeast Vacations highly enough—and if you have the chance to request Julius as your Safari Guide, do it! His knowledge, passion, and warm personality made our journey truly unforgettable.

An amazing guy that blessed us with all his knowledge
Oldbeast Vacations made our first safari a dream, they planned everything according to our specific situation.
They were here on time and I could say a lot about the tour, we have seen many animals and Deo (our tour operator) gave us so many interesting information and facts.
We loved the cheetah.
Fantastic 14-Day Safari Trip – North Tanzania & Zanzibar
From the very first request for a quotation to our return flight home, everything was perfectly arranged by Mwanne Arts and our amazing driver/guide Paul.
Paul is a highly skilled, calm, and professional guide who truly goes the extra mile to make your game drives unforgettable. He’s not only passionate about wildlife, but also genuinely helpful—even supporting other guides and organizations on the road. Thanks to him, we saw many animals we’d never seen before and learned so much about them.
One of the highlights was visiting an authentic Maasai tribe, where we were dressed in traditional clothing and joined in their dances. We also took a guided hike at Lake Natron with a Maasai guide to see flamingos up close—an unforgettable experience.
The accommodations were stunning, each carefully chosen to enhance the safari mood. Imagine zebras and other wildlife walking right outside your tent or lodge! The food was excellent too, with delicious local dishes served with warm hospitality.
We can’t recommend the hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti enough—absolutely magical. From the breathtaking views to the champagne landing and bush breakfast, every detail was perfect. Plus, professional photos from the experience were emailed to us for free!
Everywhere we went, we were met by friendly local and Maasai people who made us feel truly welcome. Their kindness and generosity made a big impact on our trip.
In short, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. If you're planning a safari, go with Oldbeast Vacations, ask for Paul as your guide, and your holiday is guaranteed to be unforgettable!

Memories for life!
Fantastic tour through Tanzania, which was put together by Mwanne in consultation with us. There were never too many questions and they were answered quickly and competently by her.
After landing at Arusha Airport we met our guide and driver Malley, who drove us around and informed us the whole trip well and competently. He did more than his best to offer us an unforgettable trip.
From a Cheetha with cubs, more than 200 lions with cubs and as a highlight the leopard with cubs in a tree with prey......Of course a lot of other animals, zebras, elephants, giraffe, wildebeests etc.
But our favorite was the balloon ride over the Serengeti with the bush breakfast....
All in all an unforgettable trip !!!!!
