The Perfect Safari Experience with the Best Guide – Michael
We just returned from an incredible four-day private safari in Tanzania with our wonderful guide, Michael. We visited three beautiful safari parks and the last remaining hunter-gatherer tribe in Tanzania – and the entire experience was unforgettable, largely thanks to him.
Michael was kind, thoughtful, and full of patience. He fulfilled every request with a smile and somehow always knew what we needed before we even asked. He was extremely knowledgeable and answered every question with insight and passion. His sharp eye meant we didn’t miss a single animal – even those far in the distance – and he had an amazing ability to avoid the rains by reading the skies, which kept us dry and comfortable during the wet season.
We’re a kosher-observant family, and Michael made sure we were always taken care of – bringing us fresh fruit, making sure we had everything we needed, and clearly communicating our dietary needs to every hotel along the way. Thanks to him, we felt completely comfortable and cared for.
And the safari itself? Absolutely breathtaking. The landscapes, the wildlife, the colors – it was so beautiful we couldn’t even close our eyes during the drives. Every moment felt magical.
Michael is, without a doubt, the best guide we could have asked for, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone traveling in Tanzania.

Unforgettable Safari Experience in Tanzania – With the Best Guide: Michael!
Our week-long safari in Tanzania was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, our guide Michael was there to greet us at the airport, and he remained with us throughout the entire journey, ensuring that every aspect of our adventure was seamless.
We explored four breathtaking parks—the Southern and Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire—each offering stunning landscapes and incredible wildlife encounters. In addition to the safari, we had the unique opportunity to visit and meet three local tribes, which was an absolutely fascinating and worthwhile experience.
Every aspect of the trip exceeded our expectations. The lodges were excellent, offering comfort that perfectly complemented our adventure. But what truly made this trip unforgettable was Michael. He was the perfect guide for us - simply outstanding. Sharply intelligent, and deeply knowledgeable about Tanzanian wildlife, culture, and history, he enriched our experience in every possible way. He struck the perfect balance between being engaging and giving us space when we needed it.
What we appreciated most was that he was always honest and insightful—never giving us exaggerated or unfounded information, but instead offering genuine, well-informed insights into the wildlife and ecosystems we encountered. Beyond that, our conversations on Tanzanian culture, law, statehood, and religion added an unexpected but deeply rewarding dimension to the trip.
One of Michael’s greatest strengths was his ability to adapt quickly and problem-solve on the go. When we didn’t see as much wildlife as we’d hoped in the Central Serengeti, he swiftly arranged a change in schedule and permits, allowing us an extra day in the Southern Serengeti—which turned out to be absolutely magical!
Final Thoughts:
This was truly the trip of a lifetime, and we owe so much of it to Michael’s expertise, professionalism, and personality. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, we wholeheartedly recommend traveling with him. We would go anywhere with Michael as our guide, and we’re already dreaming of our next adventure!

Unforgettable Family Safari with Friendship Safari Experience & Nelson!
Our family had the adventure of a lifetime with Friendship Safari Experience, and our guide and driver, Nelson, made it truly unforgettable! From the moment we met him, his warmth, expertise, and passion for Tanzania’s wildlife shone through.
Thanks to Nelson’s incredible spotting skills, we saw the Big Five, a cheetah cubs from a 2 fit away, and a breathtaking elephant encounter. His smooth driving and deep knowledge made every moment special. The lodges and camps were excellent, with great food and stunning views.
If you’re planning a family safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend Friendship Safari Experience—and if you get Nelson as your guide, you’re in for a truly magical journey!

An amazing and warm experience welcomed us to the wildlife and cultures of Africa
Warm and commutative staff, always welcoming and friendly, taking every chance to make the experience better.
We met a rare number of wild animals, knowing all their favourite places of living, with deep respect to the animals. It felt like Nelson and Michael always had the patience for us, they were wonderful with the kids and all ages.
We had the most wonderful safari, and together with our guide Sharon, made our time in Africa a dream come true and a memorable time for the rest of our life.
Super professional, knows every animal, lot's of stories and deep understanding of each animal's behaviour and habits.
Thank you so much, we recommend this wonderful drivers, guide, and company with all our hearts
