Well planned & executed 3.5 Days Tour to Serengeti NP, Ngorengoro NP, Tarengine NP, Maturuni Falls
I was looking for 3 days mid-range safari in Tanzania for me & wife, preferably in Northen Circuit. We were open for group joining or private safari; Only the condition was - waned to start safari within 6-8 days, pick-up from Serengeti-Seronera Air Strip on day 1 morning and drop to Moshi on day 3 evening, such that the travel between the stay locations is minimal and obviously the decent stay & vehicle. and good guide.
I had asked quotes from 3 operators on Safari Bookings site and 4 others directly from their website. Few operators declined due to pick-up condition, others provided different itineraries, with varied costing. The itinerary provided by Cornel from Wild Media Safari really caught my attention, because it satisfied all my conditions and also the pricing was competitive. I closed the deal with Cornel after con-call along with my wife, had lots of queries, which he answered clearly and professionally. Itinerary: Day 1 Central Serengeti NP, Night 1 Tukaone Camping Lodge in side park, Day 2 Ngorongoro NP, Night 2 Karatu Villa in Karatu Town, Day 3 Tarangire NP.
Cornel & Jackline met us at Arusha on early morning of Day 1, we paid the balance amount. Then we flew from Arusha to Seronera-Serengity Airstrip (this saved us 6-7 hrs of road travel). Kweka, our guide cum driver of 4x4 Landcruiser picked us at Airstrip @11am and then we started our game drive through Central Serengity, sighted wildlife throughout mostly very closely. Had packed lunch at picnic spot and continued game drive till @6pm. Stayed at Tukaone Camping Lodge inside the park. It's a newly built facility with very good double bed cottage, and good dinner & breakfast spread.
Day 2, we started after breakfast and reached Ngorongoro crater after @3Hrs of drive. Another amazing game drive, sighting animals and other wild life. Had a great experience. Karatu is a nearby Town, where we checked in @7pm in Karatu Villa. It's another newly built facility with really good villas, open area with pool and dining aera. The food was really good with fine-dine experience. Stay was pleasant.
Day 3, morning we stopped at African Art Gallery near Kartu on the way to Tarangire NP. Did experience Tanzanite stone jewellery process from mining to shop, did shop a Tanzanite finger-ring too.. The place is too good, thus we spent more time than planned, but it worth it. Then, we stopped at a Massai Village to experience their life, had a good time @45 mins with them, dance, KG school, hut, fire, kids, cows and handicrafts... Tarangire NP was another good game-drive experience and baobab trees too.. But, because we were late to enter the park, we could spent less time in game drive. However exited on time @5pm and reached Moshi @8pm.
Overall, it was a memorable experience, obviously because of the scenic beauty, wildlife, big 5, another animals & birds, but also because of the well planned and executed safari by Cornel. Specially, the guide Kweka, who took us to right places in park to get close encounters with Lions, Leopards, Cheetas, Elephants, Hippos, Giraffes, Zebras and many more animals & birds. Not only he showed all this wildlife, but also explained about them and parks. He drove safely and comfortably, without rushing.
Thanks to Safari Bookings, for getting connected to Wild Media Safaris. Thanks to Wild Media Safaris, for arranging a wonderful safari. Thanks to Cornel & Jackline for planning, vehicle, accommodation and communication. And Special thanks to Kweka for guiding and safely driving us through parks and to city.

Our tour guide also took us to a souvenir shop, and he kindly told us that we didn’t have to buy any
It was an amazing five days. The hotel we stayed at was especially wonderful — I never imagined I’d be able to stay somewhere so luxurious. The food there was also excellent.
Our tour guide drove us over long, rough roads, and I could tell he had great respect for the animals and the natural environment. While other vehicles drove over the grasslands, he only used existing tracks. He didn’t push too hard to show us animals, but instead kept a respectful distance when we observed them.
One disappointment was that, although he promised to show us the sunset, we never got the chance. He mentioned we’d go at the end of the third day, but perhaps he was tired. After we declined his suggestion to take a hot air balloon tour that morning, he said we’d be heading back home, and we ended up missing the sunset.
When we were watching animals, sometimes he would move the car before we were ready, and while he might have had a good view from the driver’s seat, it wasn’t always easy for us to see. Looking back, we probably should have spoken up more. Still, he wasn’t overly talkative and gave us plenty of quiet time, which suited our temperament quite well.
Our tour guide also took us to a souvenir shop, and he kindly told us that we didn’t have to buy anything if we didn’t want to. He even stopped by a shopping mall for us, which was really helpful. We were also grateful that he adjusted the departure time to suit our schedule.
When another tour guide fell ill, he immediately went to help, and seeing that act of kindness really moved me. His car was a bit older compared to others, but honestly, I don’t think there’s anywhere else you could have such a wonderful experience for this price. When I searched in Japanese, the tours I found were much more expensive and offered lower-grade hotels.
The operator we contacted before departure was also excellent — they kept in close touch with us and suggested changing our original 4-day tour to a 5-day one, which made the trip feel truly luxurious. It became an unforgettable experience. I hope more Japanese travelers get to know about this tour.

Great Service
We loved the experience! And with a totally reasonable price for the service given.
Kueka was an excelente guide with lots of knowledge and great conversations. Very reliable (we had doubts before starting, but were always on time).
Is there something to improve ? Yes, I would say they car could be newer or better, maybe som A/C to avoid all the dust of the dry season, but it’s a minor detail: overall we had a time of our lives !

Unforgettable lifetime adventure perfectly organized by Wild Media Safaris - highly recommended
Our safari with Wild Media Safaris and our guide Cornel was an unforgettable experience! Thanks to his many years of experience in the Serengeti and the other national parks around, he knows the very best spots for wildlife viewing and is extremely well connected in the whole community. This gave us countless magical moments – from lions at dawn to herds of elephants at the waterhole. Of course, we spotted the Big Five…and so much more!
Cornel is truly passionate about what he does and creates a trustworthy, relaxed atmosphere. With his deep knowledge of nature and animals as well as his open, positive and happy character, he makes the tour both educational and a lot of fun.
Wild Media Safaris is absolutely reliable, answers every question promptly and takes care of every little detail.
✨ Conclusion: If you are planning a safari, you should definitely travel with Wild Media Safaris – it doesn’t get any better! Highly recommended.

Wild Media Safaris: Where Adventure Meets Heart
After spending a week on safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara, guided by Cornell from Wild Media Safaris, we can honestly say it was an unforgettable experience. From the very first moment, Cornell and Jackie welcomed us with warmth, kindness, and genuine care. When our flights had a few issues, they immediately offered to pick us up at Kilimanjaro Airport instead of Arusha, making us feel completely supported and stress-free.
Jackie crafted our tour with incredible attention to detail, tailoring everything exactly to our wishes. She shared all the details with us in advance, leaving no surprises once we were on the ground.
Calling Cornell a “guide” doesn’t do him justice – after a week with him, we found a true friend. He has a huge heart, always ensuring we were happy, comfortable, and enjoying every moment. He went above and beyond to make the experience richer and more unique, exceeding all our expectations!
Professionally, Cornell stands out from any other guide we’ve seen. He is deeply respectful of the parks’ rules and wildlife: he never got too close to the animals, approached them slowly, and even turned off the engine to avoid disturbing them. On top of that, he shared an incredible amount of knowledge and fascinating facts about the animals – he really knows his stuff.
Wild Media Safaris is more than a company – it’s a team of people who genuinely care about making your safari magical. If you want an experience full of heart, adventure, and true connection with nature, you can’t find better guides. We can’t recommend them enough!

Best Tour operater in Tanzania
Our tour with Cornel was absolutely amazing. We spent three weeks with Cornel. Jacky and Cornel planned an outstanding tour for us. They also helped us with other things, including a flight rebooking and a problem with accommodation. There's absolutely nothing to complain about. His knowledge of Tanzania's wildlife and fauna rounded it all out. We captured the Big Five in our cameras, watched a lioness hunt, and had a fantastic time with them. The great meegration of wildebeest is such an incredible event. we loved just sitting on top of the car and watching and listening to the wildebeest.
We'd go back anytime!
Tanzania always with wild media safaris :-)

Perfect!
Unforgettable Safari with Wild Media Safaris!
We went on a 3-day safari with Cornel and Kelvin – an experience that exceeded all our expectations! From the warm welcome at the airport to the final game drive, everything was perfectly organized. We visited Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park – each destination a highlight in its own right.
Our guides were not only highly knowledgeable but also very friendly and passionate. They shared their deep understanding of Tanzania’s wildlife and nature with great enthusiasm.
Our accommodation at Rim View Hotel in Karatu was very clean, and both the dinners and the packed lunches during the safari (also provided by the hotel) were delicious and well-suited to European tastes.
We honestly wish we could have spent a few more days with Wild Media Safaris – absolutely recommended!

Best guide to have on the safari
Cornel is a wonderful guide, was very knowledgeable and always knew where all the good spots were, as well as having incredibly good eyes, he would be able to spot animals from super far away while driving at the same time.

Amazing 7-Day Safari with Wild Media Safaris - Highly Recommended!
We had an unforgettable 7-day safari experience with Wild Media Safaris, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. From start to finish, everything was smooth, reliable, and thoughtfully organized.
Our guide, Denis, was fantastic. At 30 years old, he was close to our age, which made the whole trip feel more relaxed and fun. He was not only a skilled and careful driver, but also had a real talent for finding the best angles and locations to photograph wildlife. He often went the extra mile, compared to other guides, getting us closer to the action while always respecting the animals and park rules.
The communication before the trip was seamless. We were in contact with Cornel via WhatsApp, and all our questions were answered promptly and clearly. Everything was arranged perfectly, and Denis was right on time to pick us up from our hotel upon arrival.
Our safari vehicle was well-equipped, including a fridge box stocked with cold water for the whole week. This was a very welcome touch during hot days in the parks. Even though we booked a bit late, Wild Media Safaris suggested a great selection of lodges. We were really pleased with the accommodation. We ate well, slept comfortably, and felt taken care of throughout.
In terms of value for money, Wild Media Safaris delivered a top-tier experience without breaking the bank. The service was reliable, the planning stress-free, and the memories will last a lifetime.
If you're planning a safari in Tanzania, I absolutely recommend going with Wild Media Safaris. They made our trip special in every way!
