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.

A Safari Worth Every Moment
We had a problem with our flight and ended up arriving in Arusha about six hours late. To be clear, this had nothing to do with Oldbeast Vacations it was entirely due to the airline. Because of the delay, we missed our first day of safari in Tarangire and went straight to Manyara Best View Lodge. This lodge is magnificent. We would definitely have stayed an extra day just to enjoy its facilities and the stunning view.
On the second and third days, we did the safari in the Serengeti. It was an incredible experience. We saw many animals and were lucky to be near a group of lions just as it started to rain. Watching how they behaved in that moment was fascinating.
The accommodations, both at Bush Tembo Camp and Ang’ata Ngorongoro Camp, were excellent, very comfortable, with delicious food right in the heart of the savannah.
On the last day, we visited the Ngorongoro Crater. It was a foggy and overcast day, which made the descent into the crater feel even more dramatic. Truly unforgettable.
We didn’t manage to spot the Rhinoceros or the Leopard from the Big Five, but that’s just how nature is sometimes.
By the way, the SG Premium Resort, which served as our base in Arusha, is also an excellent hotel.
One important tip: we highly recommend arriving in Arusha at least one day before your safari starts. The local airlines in Tanzania can be quite unreliable, and delays like ours are not uncommon. Better to be safe and start your adventure stress-free.

Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re glad that despite the airline delay, you enjoyed your stay at Manyara Best View Lodge and had an unforgettable safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It’s great to hear that Bush Tembo Camp, Ang’ata Ngorongoro Camp, and SG Premium Resort all made your trip comfortable.
We appreciate your understanding about the missed day and your helpful tip about arriving early — it’s excellent advice for future travelers.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back to Tanzania again.
Warm regards,
