A Safari of a Lifetime with Serengeti African Tours
Our experience with Serengeti African Tours was nothing short of incredible. From the very beginning, Linah did an amazing job preparing and organising our 5-day, 4-night safari. Everything ran so smoothly, and the attention to detail made it stress-free. I must say I was slightly worried before hand, would we be picked up from the airport would they show up for the safari. I had absolutely nothing to fear everything ran so smoothly. And the Tanzanians are the most friendly people I have ever met.
We opted for a budget camping safari, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for more. Spending two nights camping in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro was magical. Waking up to zebras and giraffes grazing right next to our tent is something we will never forget! While I expected the safari to be great, it was so much more – truly a holiday of a lifetime.
Our journey took us through Tarangire National Park, two days in the Serengeti, then Ngorongoro Crater, and finally the smaller but beautiful Lake Manyara National Park. Each park was unique, but after the very first day in Tarangire, I knew this trip was going to be special. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife: countless antelopes, wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, hippos, and four of the Big Five – buffalo, lions (so many of them!), elephants, and even leopards. We were blessed to spot four different leopards, including cubs – something many safari-goers never get to see! We also saw a cheetah with her cubs on a recent kill. The elusive rhino gave us the slip, but that didn’t take away from the magic of this adventure.
A big part of the experience was thanks to our amazing team. Josephat, our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best sightings. Richard, our chef, cooked the most delicious breakfasts, lunches, and dinners every day – hard to believe it was a camping safari!
Although this was classed as a budget trip, it felt absolutely premium in terms of experience. Camping in the wild made it even more special, though be prepared – at 2,300m in Ngorongoro, it does get chilly at night!
I cannot recommend Serengeti African Tours enough. This was a trip of a lifetime, and one we will treasure forever.
Tip for future guests: Definitely ask for Josephat as your guide and Richard as your chef – they truly made our safari unforgettable.

More then expected. Great expeirence
We were 2 adults and 2 kids (10 and 14). Safina explained us all and we went to our 5 days tour with Serengueti African Tours
The jeep was good had a fridge inside and could open top of the roof. Roads were bumpy sometimes so you get "free masaage" but then accomodations were perfect.
And special mention to Morgan. Our great spanish/english guide. He was really kind with us the whole trip. Everything was more than we expected.

Lorenz was a knowledgeable and reliable operator who ensured the Serengeti tour ran smoothly.
I recently traveled with Go Serengeti African Tours and overall had an average experience. The itinerary was well-structured, and transportation was reliable, allowing us to see many highlights of the Serengeti. However, the food provided during the tour was often served cold, which took away from the overall comfort of the experience. While the essentials of the trip were delivered, there is room for improvement in both customer care and attention to detail, particularly with meals and hospitality.

Very disponible to answer to your questions and exceptional driver
We had a wonderful 6-day trip with Serengeti Africa Tours.
- Positive
Linah, the contact person, was extremely available and answered our hundreds of questions on WhatsApp quickly and efficiently.
Our driver Matchete was exceptional. Very skilled, very passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable about the animals. He was always smiling and pleasant.
Visiting different parks was an outstanding experience.
- Negative
The food was good but a bit repetitive.
The preparation of the packed lunches in the morning was always delayed by 30 minutes to 1 hour, which made us feel like we were leaving for safari later than others.
In August, there are huge crowds. You are never alone—always dozens of jeeps around. At lunchtime, you have to “fight” with other agencies to get a table or chair in the picnic areas.
Nyani Public Campsite in the Serengeti was the worst campsite we’ve stayed at in 4 months of traveling through Africa: dirty toilets and showers, too much loud music and partying (those people shouldn’t be there), overcrowded, and in the evening you have to queue to use the toilets or showers.
The road to the Serengeti is chaotic, with 3 hours of rough driving each way. Because of that many car were stop on the way because of car issue. And us as well we lost 3h in all trip because of car issue due to very bad road.
- Ecological concerns
Too many plastic bottles. Almost all tourists carry reusable bottles, so agencies should find a better solution.
Lots of litter around the parking and cooking areas in the campsites.
Eating with real plates, cutlery, and glasses instead of plastic is a very good practice.

Fantastic fun
It was nice that they arrived early at the animal spots and parked the car in a good spot for observation.
There was an incident where the car door suddenly opened while we were driving off-road, but overall, I was grateful for their efforts to find the animals we wanted to see. They created a comfortable atmosphere, which allowed us to enjoy the tour over a five-day, four-night period.
First lesson: A must-do. I went to the accommodation the day before departure, but the reservation wasn't confirmed. When I checked, the staff informed me that they had changed rooms.
Second lesson: A must-do. Two staff members came to the accommodation the day before departure. They told us not to be late on the day of departure, but we were. I gave them a sincere apology, and they weren't late after that.
Third lesson: There's food, so share it with them. Since we're only seeing each other for four or five days, getting along well is a good thing for both of us. They were also very kind.
Fourth lesson: Be aware that you might not see a rhino. It's not the guide's fault. It's just luck. It's really hard to see one, so go to another country to see one. Lesson five: Don't assume there's a convenience store along the way like in Mongolia; bring everything with you. You should also buy all your snacks in Arusha.
Lesson complete.
It was a bit chaotic at first, but our staff member, Safina, was friendly, and our guide, David, was pleasant and helpful. Highly recommended. Don't forget to bring some snacks for the hike.

Quick and informative response.
Wonderful experience!
We had a great 6 days safari with Serengeti African Tours. We booked it through email and WhatsApp with Antonia. She is a nice person and the response was quick and informative.
Our guide Peter is the most knowledgeable, humorous and caring person we have ever met in Tanzania. He would fix every problem during the trip and really did his best to find the animals for us. Although we didn't see all Big Five in our trip, it was a delightful journey staying with Peter.
One thing to add, he takes amazing photos like a professional. Don't hesitate to ask for his help if you are lucky enough to be with this guide.
