Incredible safari experience with Usaka Adventures
My son and I recently went on a 5 day safari with Usaka Adventures going to 3 parks (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). I had tentatively booked with another company, but in talking to David, Usaka could do the same trip for less and a portion of the money goes to supporting an orphanage charity which I was very happy about.
We had an amazing trip seeing all of the big 5 animals and many more. We saw so many lions it was crazy. Our driver and guides made sure we saw all of the animals we wanted. The guides were very knowledgeable about the animals, birds and trees.
We had really nice tented accommodations with showers and toilets. We had very tasty meals at each place and for our lunches. The jeep was very comfortable and guides provided snacks, drinks and beer if we wanted.
We had meals together with our guides which helped us to learn more about Tanzania, its culture and speaking Swahili.
I would highly recommend booking your safari with Usaka. You will be very happy you did.

An outstanding experience and one of the highlights of my trip to Tanzania
My safari in Ngorongoro Crater with Usaka Adventure was an outstanding experience and one of the highlights of my trip to Tanzania.
I would especially like to mention the excellent value for money. For a very reasonable price, I received a well-organized safari, a comfortable vehicle, and a highly professional guide who knows the crater extremely well, understands animal behavior, and shares his knowledge in a calm and unobtrusive way.
In just one day, I was lucky enough to see an incredible variety of wildlife, including white rhinos, hippopotamuses, lions, buffalo, antelopes, giraffes, elephants, zebras, as well as many interesting and diverse bird species. The density of wildlife in Ngorongoro is truly astonishing — it feels like nature is everywhere around you.
The safari was conducted at a relaxed and comfortable pace, without any rush or “checklist” feeling, which allowed me to fully enjoy the animals and the unique atmosphere of this remarkable place.
I can confidently recommend Usaka Adventure to anyone looking for a high-quality Ngorongoro safari with fair pricing and a genuinely memorable experience.

Amazing 4 days safari , including serengeti
I loved every minute around this safari. David kindly helped to organise, and for all the logistics; telling me what is best to bring , knowing which night we’re going to be cold, etc . The transfers were perfect. then, the safari itself was magical: a great car, good food, a lovely guide, and so many animals that we got to see so close !! Our driver guide was very respectful to the animals, getting as close as possible without disturbing them, leaving immediately of a ilann’s showed signs of discomfort . I loved sleeping in tents because you get to hear the animals hunting during the night !! everything was perfect thank you so much David for this !!
Amazing Experience!!
Our 4Day Meru hike with Usaka adventures as absolutely an amazing experience. Our guide, David made sure everything was arranged properly & ensured everything was going smooth as planned. He was very supportive & motivating. Even when we doubted ourselves diring the hike, David kept motovating us by saying just keep walking pole pole & we will make it. David also took all the necessary safety precautions including monitoring our blood oxygen & health conditions regularly which made us feel safe & comfortable during our hike. The crew - Jackson, Amos, JJ, Mr. Godwin everyone were very supportive & encouraging as well. Amos, our chef prepared yummy hot meals & kept us energetic through out the hike. Even though we were very slow David & team were walking with us singing songs & always kept our spirits high. It was an unforgettable experience & I am so glad we did this activity with Usaka adventures. The entire team was awesome, their services were outstanding & the efforts were incredible. It was a great adventure & I wouldn’t hesitate to do it with them again. Once again thanks to David & team & Usaka adventures for this amazing trip.
Awesome and very cooperative
An Unforgettable 10-Day Adventure with Usaka Travels
We had an incredible experience with Usaka Travels, spending a total of 10 days with David and his wonderful team, including a Mt. Meru hike and a 5-day private safari. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and genuine warmth.
Mt. Meru Hike:
The entire hiking crew was exceptional. The guides, ranger, porters, and cook were all incredibly supportive and encouraging throughout the trek. Their teamwork and professionalism really stood out, and they made sure our whole family felt safe, motivated, and well cared for every step of the way. A special mention to the porters and cook—true unsung heroes who made the hike comfortable and enjoyable.
5-Day Safari Experience:
We did a private 5-day safari covering Tarangire, Serengeti (2 days), Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. The itinerary was very well planned, and the accommodations at Siafu Lodge and Kenzen Lodge were excellent—comfortable, clean, and relaxing after long game drives. The food was consistently great, which was especially appreciated since we are vegetarians.
David and our safari guide/driver Douglas were phenomenal. Game drives can always be a bit hit or miss, but both guides were extremely patient and went out of their way to ensure our safari was enjoyable and memorable. They made every possible effort to help us spot all the animals and truly cared about our experience.
Overall:
The private safari was absolutely worth it, and spending so many days with the Usaka team felt like traveling with trusted friends rather than a tour company. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and heartfelt experience in Tanzania—whether hiking, safari, or both—I highly recommend Usaka Travels.
