Soul-Stirring Safari and Victoria Falls Journey
5/5

My recent journey with Oldbeast Vacations was more than just a trip it was an experience that touched my heart and awakened my spirit. From the very first message exchanged, I could feel their dedication, warmth, and passion. Their communication was quick, clear, and personal. Every question was met with patience and care, making me feel supported and excited long before the adventure even began.

From the moment the tour started, I knew I was in the hands of people who truly love what they do. The guides did not just share information, they told stories, shared laughs, and opened a window into the soul of the places we visited. They guided us seamlessly through the Botswana border crossing and did it with such ease and confidence that we simply enjoyed the moment without a single worry.

Their passion was contagious. Exploring the Chobe River felt magical not only because of its beauty, but because of the way it was presented to us, with pride, respect, and genuine love for nature and culture. I found myself not just seeing the landscape, but feeling connected to it.

What amazed me most was the value. The level of professionalism, care, and extraordinary experiences we received far exceeded the cost. Oldbeast Vacations offers something rare these days tours designed with heart, not just profit.

Their reliability gave me peace of mind. Every detail, every transfer, every timing was handled with precision. There was no confusion, no stress, just pure excitement and ease. That allowed me to be fully present in every moment, living the adventure instead of worrying about it.

And what an adventure it was. Cruising along the Chobe River at sunset, watching wildlife in their natural world, feeling the vibration of Victoria Falls, and breathing in the wild, open air it was not just sightseeing, it was soul-filling. Every moment felt like a gift.

This was more than a tour. These were memories stitched into my heart. This was laughter, amazement, discovery, peace, and gratitude all woven together into one unforgettable journey.

If you’re searching for a travel experience that moves you, inspires you, and stays with you long after you return home, choose Oldbeast Vacations. They don’t just show you a destination they let you feel it.

Thank you for an adventure I will carry with me forever.

A Honeymoon Safari We Will Never Forget
5/5

Our guide was Bernard, and he truly made this trip unforgettable. We came to Tanzania for our honeymoon, visiting Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, and we were incredibly lucky to witness the Big 5. It was a dream come true.

Bernard speaks excellent English and his knowledge is amazing. Every question we asked was met with insight, passion, and fascinating details. He didn’t just show us wildlife, he taught us about animals, nature, Tanzanian culture and so many incredible curiosities we will always remember. It was like traveling with someone who genuinely loves what he does, and that made every moment even more special.

We recommend this company with full confidence. The service was punctual, professional, efficient and incredibly supportive from start to finish. We felt safe, cared for, and valued throughout the entire journey.

We will absolutely return for more safaris with this company, and we will proudly recommend them to everyone we know.

Thank you for giving us memories of a lifetime, and a very special thank you and warm hug to Bernard.

A Safari to Remember: Our Unforgettable Journey with Charles
5/5

We are beyond grateful for our incredible safari guide, Charles. From the very moment we met him, his warmth, kindness, and genuine care made us feel instantly welcomed. Charles isn’t just a guide; he’s a master of the wild. His unmatched skill in spotting and tracking wildlife turned every moment into a breathtaking discovery.

Thanks to his deep understanding of animal behavior, habitats, and movement patterns, we witnessed rare, magical encounters that most others would only dream of seeing. He could detect the smallest rustle or glimpse of an animal through dense bush, far beyond what anyone else could notice, and his interpretations of tracks brought us closer to the heart of nature than we ever imagined.

But Charles’s knowledge extended far beyond wildlife. He shared the richness of the local cultures, the history, the geography, the languages, and the unique way of life of the people he calls home. Every day, we felt completely safe, knowing he guided us with care and respect for the animals, all while positioning us perfectly for unforgettable views.

Charles’s dedication didn’t stop with the safari. Even after a 12+ hour drive back to Arusha, he made sure we were checked in and our luggage was properly tagged for our flight from Kogatende to Zanzibar. Beyond the game drives, the moments we shared meals together allowed us to connect with him personally; his stories, his laughter, and his spirit made this experience profoundly human as well as wild.

Charles isn’t just a safari guide; he’s a memory maker, a storyteller, and a guardian of the wilderness. Because of him, our safari became a once-in-a-lifetime journey we will carry in our hearts forever. We wholeheartedly recommend Oldbeast Vacations and especially Charles to friends, family, and anyone lucky enough to seek the magic of Africa.

Thank you, Charles, from the bottom of our hearts, from your Canadian friends!

A 60th Birthday Safari to Remember with Oldbeast Vacations
5/5

Oldbeast Vacations truly listened to every wish I had and crafted a 60th birthday celebration that felt completely tailor-made for me. From the very beginning, I felt incredibly fortunate to be guided by Attione, whose deep knowledge of the region made our trip seamless and unforgettable. Throughout the journey, Oldbeast Vacations was always just a call or email away, ready to ensure everything went perfectly.

Our adventure began at Camp Khwai, a charming rustic tented camp that instantly felt like a home away from home. We were greeted with warmth and genuine smiles from Rebbecca and her incredible team. The staff went above and beyond to make my 60th birthday extraordinary, imagine celebrating in the bush with a beautiful birthday cake under the stars. Our tent was nothing short of magical, with a cozy living room, a private swimming pool, and an outdoor shower and bath that made every moment feel indulgent and special.

Our guide, Rolnei, was a fountain of knowledge and an exceptional tracker. Every safari drive with him was a lesson in wonder, we saw almost everything on our wildlife wish list. But it wasn’t just the animals that captured our hearts, it was the vast, breathtaking African skies. One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, a storm erupted in the distance, turning the sky into a mesmerizing light show. The memory of that electric, untamed beauty will stay with me forever.

Food at Camp Khwai was another delight. The chef’s skill and creativity were remarkable, crafting delicious meals that honored Botswanan flavors while accommodating our diverse dietary needs, vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, and more. Every bite felt like a celebration in itself.

The second leg of our journey was just as flawless. All transfers were seamless, and we were warmly received at the border before being whisked to our stunning hotel in Victoria Falls. The Palm River Hotel felt like a five-star oasis, with immaculate grounds where warthogs, monkeys, and impalas roamed freely. Attione had arranged a sunset dinner cruise on the Zambezi, floating among the shimmering waters while spotting hippos, followed by an unforgettable Boma experience under a canopy of stars.

The next day, we explored the majestic Victoria Falls and enjoyed a breathtaking lunch at the Lookout Restaurant, where the views were as spectacular as the food. Every moment of this trip was filled with joy, awe, and celebration.

This wasn’t just a holiday, it was an experience that touched my heart deeply, a 60th birthday I will treasure forever. I cannot recommend Oldbeast Vacations highly enough and would trust them without hesitation for any future adventures.

Tanzania Touched Our Hearts, Thanks to Oldbeast Vacations
5/5

Of course! Here’s the final version with **no bold formatting**:

---

We just returned from the most unforgettable 8-day/7-night luxury safari in Tanzania an experience that far exceeded our expectations, all thanks to Oldbeast Vacations.

From the very beginning, the service was exceptional. Elias promptly responded to our initial inquiry and worked with incredible patience and dedication to craft the perfect itinerary. No detail was too small, and every request was handled with care until we landed on a journey that included everything we had dreamed of. Once our plans were finalized, Naomi took over with the same level of professionalism and warmth, answering every question and guiding us with reassuring communication all the way up to our departure. It felt like we were in the best hands even before we set foot in Tanzania.

When we arrived at Kilimanjaro Airport, we were warmly greeted by Denis our guide, driver, and, as it turned out, one of the key reasons our safari became so extraordinary. Denis was nothing short of incredible. His ability to spot wildlife, even at a distance or hidden in the brush, was astonishing. And his calm, skilled driving made even the bumpiest roads feel like part of the adventure. We saw everything we had hoped for and more. Watching wildebeest cross the river was breathtaking, but nothing prepared us for the surreal moment of sitting just feet away from lions, elephants, giraffes, and zebras in their natural habitat. Denis always gave us time to soak it all in, never rushing us, always making sure we felt the magic of every moment. We are so deeply grateful to him he made the safari not just a trip, but a lifetime memory.

The luxury tented camps were incredible pristine, comfortable, and full of character. Each one welcomed us with warmth and impeccable hospitality. The Serengeti River Camp in the North Serengeti deserves special mention; it was truly exceptional. From the beautiful setting to the friendly staff and an outstanding chef who delighted us with every meal, it stood out as a highlight among many.

Asante Sana, Oldbeast Vacations, for giving us more than just a vacation you gave us a journey filled with wonder, joy, and a deep connection to the land and its incredible wildlife. These are memories we will carry in our hearts forever.

A Life-Changing 7-Day Safari with Oldbeast Vacation
5/5

Our 7-day safari through Tanzania with Oldbeast Vacation wasn’t just a holiday it was a dream come true. Looking back, it’s hard to put into words how much this journey meant to us. From the first email to the final goodbye, every moment was touched with care, professionalism, and something harder to find genuine heart.

It all started with the incredible reservations team, Elia Maria and Nickson, who made planning this trip feel effortless. Their responses to our endless questions were always prompt, clear, and patient. They never made us feel like a burden, and their flexibility in helping us tailor the itinerary made us feel heard, understood, and genuinely cared for. That kind of service is rare and it set the tone for everything that followed.

But the real soul of our journey was our guide, Enoch Hubert.

Enoch is so much more than a driver. He is a storyteller, a wildlife whisperer, a guardian of the land, and one of the kindest people we've had the privilege of meeting. Every day with him felt like a masterclass in nature, culture, and life in Tanzania. His timing was always perfect never rushed, never slow. Just right. He knew how to read the mood, knew when to let silence speak, and when to share insights or stories that added so much richness to our experience.

And his eyes what eyes! Enoch spotted animals we never would have noticed, including the elusive leopard. Thanks to him, we witnessed unforgettable scenes: lions in their natural majesty, the subtle power of a herd moving across the plains, and quiet moments that simply took our breath away.

He also opened up Tanzania to us in deeper ways sharing stories about the Maasai, explaining local customs, and helping us understand the culture behind the beauty. Every conversation felt meaningful. Every moment was intentional.

Oldbeast Vacation didn’t just organize a safari. They gave us something far more rare: a connection. To the land, to the animals, to the people and to ourselves. It was a 5-star experience, yes, but also a soul-touching adventure that will live in our memories forever.

To Enoch, Elia Maria, and Nickson thank you. You gave us a gift we’ll never forget.

If you’re dreaming of a safari in Tanzania, stop searching. Trust Oldbeast Vacation. You’ll come back with a heart full of wonder and stories you’ll tell for a lifetime.

A Dream Come True with Oldbeast Vacation
5/5

From the moment we reached out to Oldbeast Vacation to inquire about a custom 11-day safari, we knew we were in good hands but we had no idea just how unforgettable and life-changing this journey would be.

Every step of the process, from planning to departure to the final farewell, was handled with care, warmth, and absolute professionalism. A special thank you to Florida and Caroline your patience, kindness, and attention to detail made all the difference. You took the time to understand our hopes for this trip and turned them into something even more magical than we imagined.

Our guide, Leonard, was the heart of our safari. His deep knowledge of the land and wildlife, his calm and joyful presence, and his genuine care for our safety and comfort touched us deeply. He wasn’t just our guide — he became a part of our family. We will never forget his stories, his smile, and the quiet passion he carried for his country.

The classic Toyota Landcruiser became our home on wheels, taking us through the breathtaking beauty of Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and the vast plains of the Serengeti. Each park left us speechless in its own way — whether it was the golden light through the baobabs, the lions lounging in the grass, or the endless Serengeti horizon.

Our accommodations were beyond what we hoped for comfortable, welcoming, and each one with its own charm. Thank you, Oldbeast Vacation, for curating such thoughtful choices and offering excellent value.

Tanzania is unlike any place we’ve ever been. Its landscapes, its people, its wildlife everything moved us. There’s a spirit here that stays with you, long after you’ve returned home. We are profoundly grateful for the chance to witness it and for the team at Oldbeast Vacation who made it all possible.

If you're looking for a safari company you can trust with your dream, look no further. Oldbeast Vacation is reliable, responsive, and truly dedicated to giving you not just a trip, but a memory that will live in your heart forever.

Asante sana, from the bottom of our hearts.

More Than a Safari: A Life-Changing Experience
5/5

Our safari was nothing short of unforgettable — a journey that stirred the soul and left us in awe at every turn. From the very beginning, the company impressed us with its flawless organization: seamless airport pickups and drop-offs, a wide array of accommodations tailored to our needs, and staff who treated us not just as guests, but like family. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, blending comfort with authenticity.

One of the most breathtaking moments came at night — the sound of lions drinking just beyond our tents, their presence powerful and humbling. It was both thrilling and deeply moving, yet we always felt completely safe. The magic of the wild was always close, and yet so carefully and respectfully handled.

Meals on the go were simple yet mindful — delicious lunches served in reusable canteens, minimizing waste, and always accompanied by a steady supply of water, juices, and cola to keep us refreshed under the African sun.

Our guide, Richardo, was a true master of his craft — calm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate. Thanks to him, we witnessed elephants gracefully crossing right in front of our vehicle, lions lounging in the golden grass, cheetahs resting in the shade, and a leopard perched high in a tree with its fresh catch. These weren't just sightings; they were moments that touched something deep inside us.

And there was more — herds of antelope, powerful buffalo, elegant ostriches, curious hippos, and a dazzling variety of birds that turned the sky and trees into a living canvas.

This wasn't just a trip. It was a deeply emotional experience — one of wonder, connection, and respect for the raw beauty of nature. The company delivered not only impeccable service but also memories that will stay with us forever.
