Fantastic Safari - Experience of a lifetime
African Hub Serengeti were brilliant from day 1! Evaline helped tailor the perfect safari for us with many changes, advice and different options to get just what was right for us!
We went for a 4 day and 3 night safari with a budget accommodation on the first night, mid range on the second and luxury on the last as a special birthday treat! Evaline tailored the lodges to work with our requests and continued to offer alternatives for us to have a look at! This support was brilliant!
The safari itself we had a private tour with Mbwana - Mbwana was incredible! His English was fantastic and his knowledge of the areas we visited, the animals we saw and all our surrounding questions all went fully answered! Mbwana worked tirelessly morning to night to take every opportunity we could - he managed to find all the Big 5 for us and more! With so many close encounters our problem now is too many amazing photos to pick from!
For new safari goers - Our personal opinion on upgrading to a private tour was well worth the extra - The two of us had the van to move around in, get the best photo/viewing angles and not get in the way of other travellers we didn’t know! We also stuck with the sided van (not the open sided vans) - We were glad we didn’t take this upgrade as those we saw in them were clearly suffering from the wind (cold) and the dust. If you have the option, go private over open sides!
Thank you to all the team at African Serengeti Hub - You made a safari dream come true!

Perfect organization and authentic experience
This safari was an absolute highlight and will stay with me forever. In a diverse group from Germany, Bulgaria, England, Japan and Portugal - six of us in total - we started our adventure through the impressive nature of Tanzania.
Five unforgettable safari days took us through Tarangire National Park, the endless expanses of the Serengeti and the impressive Ngorongoro Crater. We were lucky enough to see all the Big Five in the wild - it was incredible to see the animals so close up!
In addition to the breathtaking wildlife, we were also able to get to know Tanzania's warm culture and delicious cuisine. Our group got along wonderfully - strangers became friends.
A huge thank you to African Hub for the perfect organization and the authentic experience. I can highly recommend this trip to everyone!

Good value
We are budget travelers and were looking for a guide that could do a good price but hit the minimums. Simon was very patient and was not pushy at all. He did a great job and we felt Ngorongoro was worth the trip. Lodging and food were surprisingly fancy for a budget trip. We were worried the off season would not have much for use, but the organized tour had plenty of animals and nature, so no need to be worried about doing an off-season Ngorongoro trip (might even be better with the reduced crowds!). Happy to recommend Simon and AHS services again.

Amazing!
I want to start of by saying that Evelyn from African Hub is just absolutely AMAZING. Her communication from the beginning was very prompt despite there being a 7 hr difference from the US and Tanzania. I inquired with many operators and I just wasn't feeling them. What made me book with African hub is that they are very detailed, which is something that is very important when you are traveling halfway around the world. It was also my birthday and they managed to make it EXTRA special, something I will NEVER forget. I did the 2 days, 1 night, with Tarangerie and Ngorogoro. They were also able to arrange transportation from Kilimanjaro to Arusha. The ONLY thing I would change is skipping the Art Gallery on day 1 and maybe head right to the safari. Despite it being rainy season our guides were able to find animals for us to see. We were able to see 4 out of the big 5 (didn't see any leopards). The vehicles were spacious and we all had a window seat for great viewing opportunities. Lunch was also included and both days it was DELICIOUS Swahili food!! I recommend this tour company 100000%, if I ever come back to this side of the world, I would not hesitate to book with them again!!!!
Decent company to go on Safari.
We had a nice car with drinks, maybe there should be more non alcoholic soft drinks next time. The food was really good and the time we were there was fine.

Excellent experience
I did a safari of 3 nights. It was perfect, the driver Malita was very kind, he knew a lot about the parks and the animals. He was very patient. The food was very good as well.
