Our Dream Safari Brought to Life by Oldbeast Vacations
5/5

We had a truly wonderful safari with Oldbeast Vacations in Tanzania, a five day journey that took us through Arusha National Park, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. From the moment we began the booking process, everything felt effortless. The team was flexible, understanding, and attentive to every wish we had, which made it possible for us to create the safari we had always dreamed of. Since this was our first time in Africa, it meant so much to know that every detail was already taken care of, from the airport pickup to the accommodation for our first night. That peace of mind made it easy to simply enjoy the experience.

During the safari, Joshua was our driver for the entire trip, and he was absolutely exceptional. He was friendly, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about both the wildlife and his work. His experience showed every day, as he always managed to position us perfectly to see the animals up close and capture beautiful photographs. Thanks to him, every moment felt special. We shared so many laughs and unforgettable memories with him, and by the end of the journey, it truly felt like we were traveling with a friend.

We would recommend Oldbeast Vacations to everyone. They are helpful, reliable, and genuinely honest people. There were no hidden costs, no broken promises, just a team committed to giving us the best experience possible.

This safari will stay in our hearts forever.

A Truly Life-Changing Safari with Oldbeast Vacations
5/5

I am so deeply grateful that I booked my trip with Oldbeast Vacations. I was traveling alone to Tanzania and felt quite nervous at first, especially because I have type 1 diabetes and specific medical needs. I needed to keep my insulin cold throughout the day and have access to fridges in the lodges.

Mwanne was incredibly proactive and caring. She arranged a cooler with a temperature gauge in the safari vehicle so I could always ensure my insulin stayed cold. She also contacted each lodge in advance to inform them about my dietary restrictions. Thanks to her attention and kindness, I felt completely safe and supported the entire time.

Beyond that, Mwanne was exceptionally kind, responsive, and flexible. I had many questions during the planning process, and she patiently adjusted the itinerary to fit my needs perfectly.

We also had the best and kindest driver, Jolis. He was so much more than just a driver — though he’s an excellent one! He’s an outstanding animal spotter with a great eye for wildlife. We even saw an entire family of lions resting in a tree in Tarangire, and we had the sighting all to ourselves.

Both Mwanne and Jolis radiate such positive energy. They are funny, open, patient, and truly wonderful to be around. Even during full-day game drives, I was never bored for a single moment. While other vehicles were chasing radio calls and crowding around sightings, we relied on instinct and timing — and it paid off. We saw **all** the animals, including around seven serval cats!

One of the most special moments was witnessing a Maasai tradition near the Ngorongoro Crater — a beautiful, rare, and deeply moving experience.

Overall, I truly believe I had the best possible trip. I felt safe, cared for, and incredibly lucky. I will forever be grateful to Mwanne and Jolis for giving me such a meaningful and unforgettable adventure.

A trip to Kenya and Tanzania that I will never forget
5/5

This safari trip was truly extraordinary. From the very beginning, we received invaluable support from our travel consultant, Baraka. We spent over a week discussing the itinerary and hotel arrangements, and he patiently prepared seven different versions of the itinerary until every detail was perfect. His dedication was admirable.

When other travel agencies told me that the Lion Mountain Hotel in Sarowa was fully booked, Baraka confidently said he could get us a room—and he did. His reliability, hard work, and professionalism made our entire trip incredibly reassuring.

A heartfelt thank you to Oldbeast Vacations for making this trip so smooth, well-organized, and unforgettable.

Our guides in Tanzania, Champion and Dominic, were simply outstanding; words can hardly describe how admirable they were. Having already seen the "Big Five" in Kenya, we hoped to witness something even more special this time—hunting animals, spectacular river migrations, and the rare black rhinoceros. They not only strived to achieve these goals but exceeded all our expectations. Every day felt like watching a fantastic wildlife documentary unfold before our eyes. What moved us even more was that while guiding us through the sightseeing, they also continuously taught us. They didn't just point out the animals' presence; they helped us understand them—their behavior, survival instincts, history, and many details we would never have known before. In just a few days, we learned more about wildlife than we would in a lifetime. Their enthusiasm, professionalism, and love for nature deeply touched us.

However, what touched us most was not only their talent as guides, but also their sincerity. They were more than just guides; they became our friends. Their laughter, kindness, dedication, and genuine care made this journey so warm and unforgettable.

Champion and Dominic, our gratitude is beyond words. The memories you gave us will forever remain in our hearts. Africa changed our lives, and a large part of that is thanks to you. We truly love you, our friends forever. We hope to meet you again someday.

If you also dream of a safari trip filled with emotion, wonder, learning, and genuine connection, choose Oldbeast Vacations. This will be a journey that will stay with you forever.

With heartfelt gratitude, we say: Thank you.

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.

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.

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.
