Flexible, professional, and great value - an unforgettable safari experience.
We booked a safari + hiking trip through Safari Nuggets[, and it was an unforgettable experience. From planning the itinerary to the organization on-site, everything was handled exceptionally well.
Our route included Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Crater. We also visited the Olpopongi Maasai Village and did a beautiful hike on the Shira Plateau of Mount Kilimanjaro. Thanks to our guide, we were able to enjoy every moment to the fullest. He had incredible knowledge, was very hospitable and friendly, and always made us feel safe and comfortable. He sensed perfectly when we wanted to stop, spend more time observing animals, felt uncomfortable or ask questions.
The lodges we stayed in were high-quality, and surprisingly comfortable, especially considering our more limited budget. We truly felt we got excellent value without compromising on experience.
We also really appreciated the flexibility: halfway through the trip, we decided to change one of our overnight stays, and it was arranged immediately without any hassle or resistance.
In short: professional, flexible, and with great attention to detail. Thanks to Lolarip and his team, our trip became an experience we will never forget. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a well-organized and authentic safari in Tanzania, even with a smaller budget.

Unforgettable 5 day Safari
It was an amazing experience doing our safari with Safari Nuggets! They prepared everything perfectly and always made sure we were comfortable while helping us tick off all the bucket-list wildlife experiences — something that isn’t easy to guarantee in the wild.
We did a 5-day safari covering Tarangire, Serengeti (Central & North), and Ngorongoro, and we managed to see the Big Five along with many other unique animals. The whole trip was seamless, and the value for money was excellent with their competitive prices and deep expertise in wildlife.
A very special thanks to Ele, our driver — he was outstanding and went above and beyond our expectations.
Highly recommended!

Amazing all inclusive safari!
Our safari trip to the Serengeti was truly unforgettable. Traveling as a group of seven friends, we were blown away by how seamless everything was—from the perfectly coordinated logistics to the warm, attentive service. The accommodations were comfortable, well-situated, and exceeded our expectations. We felt safe, cared for, and completely free to enjoy the magic of the landscape and wildlife. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, allowing us to relax and fully take in the experience. Highly recommended!

Amazing, knowledgeable, experienced, friendly, on time
Had a great time with Safari Nuggets and would recommend to all my friends and family. From day one everything was taken care of… meals, hotels, transportation from city to city and airports. Don’t hesitate to book with Lolarip!

He was knowledgeable and friendly. Also drove very safely.
Very much worth the money. The accommodations were comfortable, food was delicious, guide was great, and seeing the animals in nature was surreal.

Dreaming of a safari? Escape the Ordinary!
Our trip with Safari Nuggets was outstanding. We chose their 7 Day Off The Beaten Path Safari, and it was the perfect fit for our travel style and budget.
Our guide and driver Matthew was incredibly kind and extremely good at placing us in the best photo spots. We saw every animal we had hoped for! Matthew got me up close to a cheetah, which was top of my personal list :) We watched a lionness hunt zebra, lion cubs playing, rhinos walking around, a leopard stalking a dik-dik, and more giraffes and elephants than I could count. We even got to visit the Hadzabe and Datoga, which was unforgettable in itself. Amazing--and all in one week!
We travel regularly, primarily on our own. I mention that to emphasize how Safari Nuggets met all of my expectations and more. The accomodations and food were perfect for us, the itinerary was well organized, and our guide was simply awesome. The drives are long, and like Matthew told us, the vehicle makes or breaks the trip. It was a well equipped, comfortable safari jeep that we had zero problems with.
If you can't tell by now, I'll say it plainly: I would recommend Safari Nuggets to everyone! I can't thank them enough for making our trip so special.

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Lemosho climb
Climbed Kilimanjaro in October 2024 with Safari Nuggets via the eight-day Lemosho route. It was a private expedition as it turned out, with my wife and I being accompanied by a team of twelve highly professional men. Guide Johnson, assistant guide Joy (indeed always cheerful), chef Present and 9 porters, each with his own task. The trip was excellently prepared by Lolarip and his team. Picked up from the airport exactly on time, excellent accommodation in Moshi, good instructions on what to bring in terms of clothes, shoes and other things. Then to the mountain with the whole team and then we really enjoyed the environment with the changing scenery during the climb. Each day was a manageable distance to walk, the porters walked ahead and took care of setting up camp. No new, but good gear and a private toilet. Delicious food prepared by Present and a cheerful Billy who also had the role of waiter, but also took every opportunity to teach us some Swahili! We were lucky with the clear weather on the day of the climb to the summit, so the visibility combined with the full moon was excellent. The sunrise was unforgettable! Fortunately, because of the 8-day format and the leisurely pace (pole-pole), we did not suffer from altitude sickness. By the way, that was tested twice every day during the medical checkup.
All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would recommend Safari Nuggets to anyone! Even after our trip ended (when we went to Zanzibar on our own), Lolarip was happy to help us solve some problems. Thanks!

Trip of a lifetime
We spent nine days touring the Northern Safari Circuit including Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Natron and it was absolutely superb. As is always my way, I left the organising of the trip to the last minute, but Lolarip was unflappable – prompt to reply, utterly flexible and he found us the very best accommodation for our budget and all at short notice. Our guide Salehe was wonderful – an incredible driver and extremely knowledgeable. I am a keen birder and Salehe helped identify and me learn about hundreds of new species AND he didn't grumble even when I made him stop for every lilac-breasted roller rather than focusing on looking for leopards. I can't recommend Safari Nuggets highly enough -- it was a brilliant adventure from start to finish. :)

unforgettable
An unforgettable journey. I'm from China. My English is not very good. I hope the company can find me a Chinese guide. The quotation is very real! This six-day journey is great!
