Wish we’d gone for longer
We decided to look for a short safari trip very last minute (4 days before going, whilst we were at our hotel in Zanzibar), so searched Safaribookings.com and sought a quote for 2 days Zanzibar-Serengeti-Ngorongoro-Zanzibar from 3 tour operators. All 3 quickly responded, and Serengeti Savanna Adventures came in a touch less expensive so we went for them.
Erick dealt with the booking, we encountered issues as our Bank blocked payment due to fraud concerns, but after receiving copies of the registration/tourist board certification and verifying with the accommodation supplier that a booking was pencilled in, we had enough proof that this was legitimate so could demonstrate to our UK based bank that all was above board.
We received our flight tickets the day before we travelled - having only paid the day before that.
The driver (Syed) picked us up from our hotel very early morning as per plan, he was very pleasant and professional, and we boarded our flights without issue. We flew from Zanzibar to Arusha and then straight on to Serengeti Serenona Airstrip. Flights were great and on time.
We were greeted by Rajab (our guide) and Amos (from the office) - our suitcases were snatched by the airport helpers who then demanded a tip for the 1 minute handling of them, but that wasn’t a surprise. After Rajab sorted a small problem at the Serengeti National Park gate (with the passport for our youngest, I think they needed more evidence that she was 15 and not older, as the park entry price changes at 16), we were on our way in a pop-up roof jeep - it was super clean, in it was a plug socket, a chilled box with water/coke, binoculars, and a lovely packed picnic lunch (catered very well for 3 vegetarians and 3 meat eaters) which we ate en route at a special picnic stop off (it had toilets, albeit water wasn’t running so wet wipes would have been a handy addition and we’d not considered this).
Day 1, we saw lots of wildlife, including lions (my favourite), elephants, hippos, baboons, gazelle, buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, hyena (and others), sadly saw a fallen elephant being devoured by hyenas and vultures, the stench left me physically heaving so be prepared - a leopard earlier seen by others evaded us likely because of the rain. Both Rajab and Amos shared lots of useful info throughout. We checked into our Camp, Serengeti Classic Camp just after sunset.
The camp was fantastic, the staff members couldn’t have been friendlier, the tent (huge) was spotlessly clean with sufficient supplies (albeit the warm water was tepid, as not much sun to heat it during the day), and the food superb. There was a lit campfire, but we arrived shattered so had only time for food, shower and sleep in luxurious beds and bedding. The staff got up early to prepare packed breakfast and packed picnic lunch (again, delicious) for our 05:30 departure. They have a tip box so that the money can be shared fairly. I loved this place.
An early start on Day 2 to drive to Ngororngoro - this actually took far longer than we’d expected (4 hours), but we breakfasted (supplied by the camp) as we drove, saw lots more wildlife en route and once there (more gorgeous lions, giraffes, warthogs, rhinos to name a few), and then had to set off for the airport - again longer than expected.
If I’d known how long we’d be driving for on Day 2 I might have stayed at Serengeti the second day and flown back from there, but that was our decision so no fault of the Tour Operstor. It certainly gave us a taste of what safari in Africa is - we came little prepared but still had the best time.
Slight issue at the end, caused by airline and our late booking, as the flights we thought we were booking (about 18:00) sold out before booking was confirmed, so an earlier 17:30 flight was booked (cost us $80 more), but then the airline (Asalam?) overbooked so 1 of us had to get a different 17:00 flight), not ideal and it left us rushing to get the airport for checkin time.
Upon returning, our taxi driver (sorry, forgotten his name) was waiting for us, another very lovely man, who got us safely back to our hotel after navigating lots of party busses as the riders were celebrating the close of the government elections.
Finally, Erick shared the photos (that Rajab and Amos had taken) with us through WhatsApp, so even more great service to help us remember our mini-adventure.
So very glad we did this, we met some lovely people, observed animals in their natural habitat, and have lasting memories.
Thanks Team Serengeti Savanna Adventures, you served us better than I could have wished for.

Amazing two day safari - cannot recommend highly enough
We chose Serengeti Savannah Adventures because they planned an exciting itinerary with great accommodation and helpful communication from the start. Erick was always happy to answer the smallest question and we felt that we had a really personal service.
Our guide, Gilbert, met us at the airport and was immediately helpful, flexible and full of interesting information about the animals and places we saw. The vehicle was extremely comfortable, with soft drinks and water on tap, and we were wowed by the range of wildlife we saw. A highlight has to be the lionesses and cubs who walked only a metre or so away from us.
Gilbert gave us great advice about how to make the most of our time on safari. We particularly appreciated how he prioritised looking for the animals we wanted to see, and his strategies meant that we saw lots more than we were expecting. It was easy chatting to Gilbert, and we benefited hugely from his expertise.
The food provided on the trip was delicious, and we loved Escarpment Luxury Lodge, where the staff were welcoming and the facilities delightful. We would recommend staying more than one night if you possibly can!
Overall this was an unforgettable introduction to safari for me, and I would strongly recommend Serengeti Savannah Adventures for your personalised tour. Make sure you ask for Gilbert as your guide - he really made the experience amazing for us.

An Unforgettable Safari – Ask for Gilbert!
We had the most incredible 2-day safari, made truly unforgettable by our guide, Gilbert. From the moment he collected us at Arusha Airport, we knew we were in the best hands. Our first day took us through Tarangire National Park, where Gilbert’s expertise and sharp eye meant we saw animals we would never have spotted ourselves—elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, hippos, rhino, and so much more.
After an epic day, Gilbert drove us to Escarpment Luxury Lodge. The name couldn’t be more fitting, every detail was impeccable. The staff were warm and relaxed, the service seamless, and the rooms both luxurious and comfortable. Waking up to those breathtaking views was a highlight in itself.
Day two began with a 5:30am start into the Ngorongoro Crater, and the experience was simply magical. Gilbert once again showed not only his deep knowledge and skill at finding the best vantage points but also his kindness and patience—always willing to stop, explain, or help others along the way. His professionalism and genuine care made the entire trip stress-free and so enjoyable. The safari vehicle itself was perfectly equipped, with water and soft drinks always available.
For us, Gilbert made this safari extraordinary. If you’re booking with this operator, I cannot recommend strongly enough that you ask for Gilbert, his experience, warmth, and professionalism set him apart.

They are always available and answer all our questions
Great tour organisation, our guide Kisali did a really good job : he took care of us and made sure we have all we need.
He teached us lot of things about the animals, the plants, history.
He even told staff from hotels to give us a tour of the city.
We’ve gone to Tarengire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and also a Masai village. It is an unforgetable experience.

Gilbert is the BEST
Our safari experience with Gilbert was absolutely incredible from start to finish! He’s one of the most knowledgeable and passionate guides we’ve ever met — always eager to share insights about the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture. Gilbert’s friendly and approachable personality made us feel comfortable and well looked after the entire time.
Thanks to him, my friend and I had an unforgettable experience that we’ll cherish forever. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide — highly recommend Gilbert to anyone looking for a truly special safari adventure!

The Best Birthday and Safari Experience Ever!
I celebrated my 30th birthday on this trip, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! Our flights from Zanzibar were delayed, and we were already cutting it fine with just a 2-day safari — but guide Gilbert made sure everything went smoothly and ensured my birthday was extra special.
He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. He even advised us to focus on spotting the rarer animals, like leopards, instead of giraffes (since giraffes are everywhere) — and he was absolutely right! We saw everything in the first day: crocodiles, cheetahs eating an antelope, and even an elephant giving birth!
It wouldn’t have been possible without Gilbert, our amazing game ranger. He truly went above and beyond to make this experience unforgettable.
Hands down the best experience of my life — I’d recommend this tour a million percent. Worth every penny!
