Great experience from start to finish
What a great trip! We were a family of 4 doing a private safari over 3 days to the Serengeti and to/around the Ngorongoro crater.
All discussions were arranged a few months beforehand very easily via WhatsApp - I specified my requirements and with a bit of back and forth we came up with a few ideas before deciding on a final itinerary that matched our budget. It was very easy to arrange and Midian was very responsive. I spoke to 4 different companies and African Chitah came up with the best price for the same itinerary. We paid a deposit via a secure link that was sent over, the rest can be paid in cash or via the same link prior to starting the safari.
Our driver, Papa, was great! He was very warm, welcoming and knowledgable. We felt very safe in his hands and trusted him as our driver. It’s also nice to know he was previously a car mechanic for a long time incase we encountered any problems - there were a few jeeps on our trip we saw that had minor problems that needed to be fixed along the way.
The jeep was comfortable, spacious and had everything you could need including a small refrigerator, usb and plug power points, WiFi. It was cleaned every day, both inside and out, by Papa after we had been dropped off to our accommodation as it gets quite dusty. This meant we always had a clear view out of the windows each day.
There were plenty of toilet and picnic stops along the way. All the food provided was delicious, we had one vegan in our group and she was sufficiently catered for.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our time on safari and would 100000% book with African Chitah again.

Great safari, would highly recommend
I travelled with African Chitah for a 4 day safari in July 2025 (Tarangire, Serengenti, Ngorongoro) - I was pleased that they came up with an option for me to do a 4-day safari as other companies I spoke with said it was too short so suggested I did minimum 5 days. As much as it would be great to do an extra day in the Serengeti, 4 days is still very much doable and I'm glad I opted for that! Just bear in mind that there are long drives but I think that would be the case even if you booked more days as you'd just go further into the Serengeti. It did mean we just missed the Great Migration in Central Serengeti though so bear that in mind if you do this in July.
Otherwise, I absolutely loved every single location on the safari, I got to see all the big 5 (including 40 lions on one day in the Serengeti!) and lots of other animals. The tour guides we had were also fabulous, always very helpful but greatly informative and friendly - they definitely helped make the trip!
I did a group safari and I was lucky enough to have a great group so it was really fun. The only downside is that we all tended to stay at different accommodation so this meant time for pick up and drop off each morning and evening. That being said, the positive is that you get to stay in the kind of accommodation you opted for and means the safari companies get to put different people together for the group safaris.
The accommodation was all great with all staff being very friendly and food being great if not really good! The lunches during the day on safari were also really good.
Finally, I liaised with Midian during the whole booking experience and throughout the safari when discussing transfers etc. Midian was always helpful and responsive. I really liked that the transfers were all included so I felt well looked after and safe travelling alone.
I really recommend African Chitah and would definitely travel with them again!

A highly professional agency that made our trip seamless and memorable.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with this travel agency. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Midian, our trip coordinator, arranged the entire journey with great care — everything was safe, reliable, and managed with genuine responsibility.
Our guide Papa was another highlight of the trip. He accompanied us throughout, impressing us with his deep knowledge, friendly and enthusiastic nature, and incredibly sharp eyesight that helped us spot countless animals we might have otherwise missed. Papa is also remarkably strong and efficient, always handling tasks quickly and safely, which made us feel very secure along the way.
This was our first time visiting Africa, but it certainly won’t be our last. From the end of June to early July, the weather was pleasantly cool. We’ve heard that the great migration usually peaks around mid-July — a perfect reason to return. Throughout our travels, we could clearly see the benefits of a well-established tourism system, refined through many years of experience. It made everything run seamlessly and ensured highly professional, mature services.
We were also delighted by the quality of facilities and hospitality. The restrooms at attractions were generally very clean, the local food was delicious and full of character, and hotel staff everywhere were warm and welcoming. The hotels themselves were spacious, spotless, and offered excellent comfort.
All in all, it was a fantastic journey with many memorable moments. We are truly grateful for such a wonderful experience — thank you!

THE BEST TOUR OPERATOR!
African Chitah is the best tour operator we have ever tried during our journeys.
Starting from the Safari (4d-3n) with our guide/driver Agostino. We enjoyed a lot the kindness, precision, organization and patience he demonstrates during all the experience.
We saw a lot of wild animals in a wonderful natural context.
They try to create the perfect atmosphere to make you happy and feel comfortable in every situation.
Also the villages/camp/tent were clean, well organized and very huge.
Last but not least, when we were coming to the airport I discovered to have lost my passport. They supported me a lot in finding it and thanks to their collaboration we find it. Moreover, they advise the airport which wait for me before flying (impressive!!!).
Their kindness and customer-oriented approach is the key of their real success.
A simple thanks isn’t enough to descrive this tour and all the tanzanian guys who work with it.
If you want to be happy and satisfied, choose them!

5* WORLD CLASS SERVICE provided by Midian for our 20th Wedding Anniversary 🥰
Communications - I can not give Midian enough praise. He really has gone above and beyond to make me feel at ease and assured me all would be ok. He messaged me directly over wats app and kept me updated on all the plans he was making for our trip. He shared all the hotel confirmations with me and messaged me at all times of the day when I messaged for information. He is a credit to anyone that books with him.
Service- he met us at the hotel to take us through the plans and arranged a little dinner for us with a cake for our anniversary which was a lovely surprise. All the staff gathered and sung to us and made it really special. I left my charger at the hotel and he went out of his way to collect it for me and bring it to the airport for me to take it on my onward journey. Again, he went shove and beyond and was so kind. He found me the best places to stay and gave me many options to look at before booking. He listened to our needs and literally booked the best places for us.
Value for money- He placed in the best places which I again feel were above and beyond for the money we paid. They were parsdise! We really was t expected the lodges to be half as good as they were. They were out of this world. Never stayed in anything like them before and the staff were informed of our anniversary and sung to us at every location we stayed. Definitely value for money as we had our own private tour guide who couldn’t do enough for us either.
Reliability- everything that was asked for was completed with enthusiasm and more. Don’t think twice about booking with African cheetah and Midian, you will be nothing short of blown away. Filemon was our driver and really was a pleasure to have met and shared our dreams with.
Tour- our private driver Filemon was amazing. He had all the knowledge and more and took us to the most
Amazing places To fulfil our dreams. We saw everything we wanted and learnt so much from him. Very knowledgeable and such a lovely person.
Thank you both so much for making our dreams come true and for making our experience so special. U are amazing and my colleague at work will be booking with u without a shadow of a doubt.
THANK U! Thank u! Thank u!! Xxxx

Fantastic, everything was Perfect!!!
Everything was perfect from the beginning. The communication, the booking, the payment and the preparation of the safari were very good and only recommended. The safari itself with our driver "Papa" was unique because of him. The lodges and the food served during the safari and in the evening was very good. African Chitah is really highly recommended!!!
