The safari absolutely exceeded all of our expectations, what a wonderful guide!
From the start of booking until the end of the trip, we had a fantastic time. Octavian whom I booked with was exceptionally communicative and I always received an answer within minutes on WhatsApp. We got to tailor the trip to meet our needs, and we are very happy with how everything went. Our guide Joseph was fantastic - he was not only on time but even 30 minutes early every day, and he was very knowleadgeble and accommodating. We had never been on a safari and I never expected it to be this smooth. This is especially as a group of young women - we felt safe at all times.
It was my birthday and we got a fantastic birthday surprise on the trip too - my most memorable birthday ever!
We ended up seeing everything we wanted and more in terms of wild animals and even the parks were all different in terms of geography.
Huge recommendation!
Tailored Safari experience
The agency answered really quickly and reassured us on everything from the moment we looked into buying this incredible experience. They adapted the tour to our timings and budgets which was really amazing!
Our guide Joseph was super reliable and he knew how to answer all our questions, was always on time (if not early), made our experience tailored and avoided as much as possible the crowds so we had many special moments. Really really recommend it!

Real excellent professional safari
Our 4 day safari was excellent from very first beginning up to the end. I must thank office manager Octavian for usefull advices, helping me to choose right safari for us and good organization. Both our acommodation in Martinas retreat and Serengeti classic view camp were very nice and clean, with good meal and wonderful helpful staf. Camp was newly built, tents were spacious, nicely furnished. We enjoyed stay there very much as we were right in the middle of nature, with hyenas in very short distance, lions roaring all the night in bush and amazing sunset. And the best of all was our guide Joseph. Entusiastic, friendly, knowledgeable funny guy who was able to answer all our questions, who managed to find all animals for us we wanted to see, he always parked jeep in order that we have the best view to animals and he adjusted everyday our programme to our wishes. Thanks to all these wonderful people we already decided to come again and through the same agency.

The safari was a great experience and we'll organised through the agency from end to end.
We had a good experience with the safari agency, which took care of the logistics and transportation from start to finish, making the trip easy to organize.
Our guide, Kelvin, was also very good. He shared useful information about the animals we encountered and was happy to answer our questions. He made an effort to position the vehicle well so we could get a good view of the animals while keeping a respectful distance.
Another important point is that Kelvin is a safe and careful driver, which made a real difference, especially during the longer drives between cities and safari locations.
Overall, it was a well-organized safari and we were happy with the experience.

Professional, committed and serious operator
Had an unforgettable 2 days safari. 1 i Serengeti and 1 in Ngorongoro. Got to see the big 5 and alot of other animals.
The night in Nyota was alao an unforgettable experince. Living side by side with the animals, and seeing elephans from our bedroom window and swiming pool.
Our guide Deo was amazing, teaching us about the animals and how to see if its a Male or Female animal and their duties. All in all and perfect trip, only negative is that i tough 2 days was enough when planning.

An unforgettable safari experience from start to finish!
We had an amazing safari experience with Professional Safaris and couldn’t be happier with our trip. Everything was well organized and we felt very well taken care of throughout the entire safari.
Our guide, Deo, was absolutely fantastic! He was extremely professional, knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. He always did his best to take us to see the animals we wanted to see, and really made our safari experience special. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
We also stayed at Nyota Lodge, which was a great experience. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and always happy to help with anything we needed.
Overall, we have nothing to complain about and have had an unforgettable experience. We would definitely recommend Professional Safaris – and especially Deo – to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

We had a positive attitude throughout the trip, so we had a great overall experience.
I initially wanted to write this back in Korea, but I’m writing it now while relaxing!
After comparing several agencies, this company seemed well-organized and reliable. They were flexible with adjusting our itinerary, and the price was slightly more reasonable than others. Most of all, I really appreciated how quickly they replied to my emails!
Our guide, Joseph—he was very friendly, though honestly, there were a few moments when he looked a bit uncomfortable or sighed haha. But to be fair, that was on us because our English isn't great, so communication wasn't easy! It must have been pretty frustrating for him at times, and we had a few small issues along the way, but we overcame everything with the "Hakuna Matata" spirit! After all, it's the challenging parts that make a trip memorable, right?
Overall, Joseph was awesome! Whenever he spotted animals, his insane driving skills got us to the absolute best viewing spots. He’s a great driver with the kind of speed that any fast-paced Korean would fully approve of! Thanks to him, we managed to see all of the Big Five and even caught some super rare moments. It was truly amazing! And on a side note, he’s super cute haha. Even though we were pretty quiet, he kept checking on us, making sure we were having fun, and taking good care of us. Whenever we asked about the animals, he explained everything like a total expert.
As for the accommodations:
Fig Tree Lodge: To be honest, I didn't really like this one. I'd recommend spending a bit more to stay somewhere else. Although it wasn't coming from the lodge itself, people in the nearby village played weird, loud music all night long, so we couldn't sleep well at all... Tukaone Serengeti Camps: I absolutely loved this place! Instead of spending thousands of dollars at a luxury lodge, staying here creates much better memories. Relaxing and sleeping surrounded by nature and the sounds of birds and wildlife was unforgettable. The staff were super friendly too!
Finally, I initially thought this would be a once-in-a-lifetime trip, but Joseph and Serengeti National Park made me want to come back during the rainy season.
Feat. Joseph—I'll definitely bring my future daughter here one day, so please be our guide again then! I promise I'll study English before coming back... Also, please take great care of future Korean guests as well!
Asante sana, Hakuna Matata!
