Our Dream Honeymoon with Oldbeast Vacations
Our honeymoon with Oldbeast Vacations was nothing short of magical an experience we’ll cherish forever. From the very first message, Mwanne made everything feel effortless with thoughtful and personalized planning. Every little detail was perfectly taken care of, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the adventure of a lifetime.
When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Mwanne, whose kindness instantly made us feel at home. The briefing about the days ahead was both helpful and reassuring it was clear from that moment that we were in the best hands.
And then came Frank, our incredible guide. Words can hardly describe how amazing he was so knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about wildlife. He always knew exactly where to take us for the best views, and thanks to him, we saw the Big Five, countless other animals, and even witnessed the Great Migration at the Mara River a scene so powerful it brought tears to our eyes. If you’re planning a safari, ask for Frank. He truly made our honeymoon unforgettable.
Every lodge we stayed in was beautiful and welcoming, each with its own charm and breathtaking surroundings. The food was delicious everywhere we went, and every meal felt like part of the adventure. One of the most touching moments was our visit to a Maasai village, where we were honored to learn about their rich traditions and warm way of life.
This journey exceeded every dream we had. It wasn’t just a safari it was an experience that touched our hearts. We would wholeheartedly recommend Oldbeast Vacations to anyone searching for a truly unforgettable, soul-stirring adventure in Tanzania.

From Planning to Wildlife: A Honeymoon Beyond Expectations
Our honeymoon with Oldbeast Vacations was nothing short of magical. It was an experience that touched our hearts and created memories we’ll cherish forever. From the very first moment, Mwanne’s thoughtful and personalized planning took all the stress away, allowing us to simply immerse ourselves in the wonder ahead.
The warmth and kindness we felt when Mwanne, the operations manager, greeted us on day one set the tone for the entire trip. His detailed briefing made us feel safe, cared for, and excited, knowing every little detail was taken care of with love and precision.
Charles, our incredible guide, truly brought the safari to life. His passion, knowledge, and genuine kindness made every moment unforgettable. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to witness the majestic Big Five and countless other awe-inspiring animals in their natural home. One of the most breathtaking moments was seeing the Great Migration at the Mara River crossing. It was a scene so powerful and humbling that it moved us deeply. If you’re dreaming of a safari, please ask for Charles. He’s more than a guide; he’s a keeper of unforgettable moments.
Our accommodations felt like a home away from home. They were comforting, beautifully set amidst nature, and welcoming in a way that made us feel completely relaxed. Every meal was a delight, nourishing not just our bodies but our spirits as well. One of the most touching experiences was visiting a Maasai village. There, we connected with the people, their traditions, and their way of life. It was an encounter that opened our eyes and hearts.
This journey went beyond all our hopes. Oldbeast Vacations gave us more than a honeymoon. They gifted us a soul-stirring adventure that we will carry with us forever. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a safari experience that is truly unforgettable.

An amazing guy that blessed us with all his knowledge
Oldbeast Vacations made our first safari a dream, they planned everything according to our specific situation.
They were here on time and I could say a lot about the tour, we have seen many animals and Deo (our tour operator) gave us so many interesting information and facts.
We loved the cheetah.

Memories for life!
Fantastic tour through Tanzania, which was put together by Mwanne in consultation with us. There were never too many questions and they were answered quickly and competently by her.
After landing at Arusha Airport we met our guide and driver Malley, who drove us around and informed us the whole trip well and competently. He did more than his best to offer us an unforgettable trip.
From a Cheetha with cubs, more than 200 lions with cubs and as a highlight the leopard with cubs in a tree with prey......Of course a lot of other animals, zebras, elephants, giraffe, wildebeests etc.
But our favorite was the balloon ride over the Serengeti with the bush breakfast....
All in all an unforgettable trip !!!!!

Unforgettable 4-Day Serengeti Safari with Oldbeast Vacations!
We had the most incredible 4-day safari in the Serengeti this June, guided by the amazing John! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great eye for spotting wildlife. We stayed at Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge — stunning views, excellent service, and very comfortable tents.
The absolute highlight was witnessing a lion hunt at sunrise — a breathtaking, once-in-a-lifetime experience! Every detail of the trip was seamless, and John made it truly memorable. Highly recommend!

Unforgettable Luxury Safari
Our luxury safari with Oldbeast Vacations was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we were picked up to the final drop-off, every detail was carefully arranged to provide comfort, excitement, and unforgettable memories.
We visited both Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, and the experience was beyond anything we imagined. The wildlife sightings were incredible—lions, elephants, leopards, zebras, cheetahs, and even a black rhino in Ngorongoro! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He made every game drive informative and exciting, and he had a real passion for wildlife.
The accommodations were truly luxury—beautiful lodges and tented camps with stunning views, gourmet meals, and exceptional service. After long days of game drives, coming back to a hot shower, comfortable bed, and a drink by the fire under the stars was simply magical.
Oldbeast Vacations exceeded all expectations. They provided seamless service, great communication from the start, and personalized touches throughout the journey. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a high-end safari that combines adventure with true comfort.

Absolutely Incredible Safari Experience with Oldbeast Vacations!
Oldbeast Vacations was absolutely amazing, and our guide Hari was outstanding. I cannot recommend them enough!
After getting quotes from at least seven different companies, Oldbeast Vacations stood out as the most responsive and best value. The booking process was seamless, Mwana was so communicative and helpful over WhatsApp, making everything super easy.
The safari itself exceeded all expectations. In just four days, we saw over 20 lions, a cheetah with three cubs, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and even a rhino in the distance. Hari ensured we had ample time with the animals, repositioning the vehicle for perfect photos and sharing his binoculars with us for a closer look. His spotting skills were unreal—he even noticed a “spotted thick-knee” bird while driving!
Hari spoke excellent English, was warm, fun, professional, and always made sure we were comfortable, even offering toilet breaks at every opportunity. His navigation skills were equally impressive—he never needed a map and always knew exactly where to go.
The vehicle was clean and well-equipped with a fridge full of water, soft drinks, wine, and beer, plus charging ports and drink holders. The Nikon binoculars were a great touch for wildlife viewing.
The accommodations were great, especially Serengeti Luxury Camping. All our lodgings were clean, welcoming, and accommodating to my vegan diet.
We did the 4-day mid-range tour, which was wonderful, though I’d recommend staying longer in the Serengeti if you can—one night didn’t feel like enough. Even in mid-May, which is shoulder season, we saw so many animals and enjoyed the less-crowded parks. Ngorongoro Crater was especially stunning with fields of yellow flowers.
Honestly, I can’t fault a single thing about this trip. It was the safari of a lifetime. Thank you, Oldbeast Vacations and Hari, for an unforgettable experience!
