So wonderful!
We spent 10 incredible days on safari in Tanzania, and one of the biggest reasons the experience was so special was our guide, Silva.
His knowledge of Tanzania’s wildlife, plant life and culture was incredible, and he always took the time to share what he knew and help us understand and appreciate everything we were seeing. But what really made Silva stand out was that he became so much more than just our guide. We had so much fun with him, laughed a lot, and genuinely enjoyed spending our days together. He made the entire experience feel personal and unforgettable.

Unforgetable Safari Trip
This is truly an amazing safari trip I experienced. Our driver/guide, Silvano, was fun to be around. His experience was right on the spot, and he was also very patient with our requests. We had five in our group and everyone was happy with Silva and wished that we could stay longer than our planned duration. The trip was not longer enough!
My husband and myself had taken another Safari trip in South Africa/Botswana, but this one topped it all!!! Serengeti was such an interesting adventure for us and we enjoyed every single minute of it! Saw a lot of lions within close proximity, and watched them with awe. Enjoyed seeing leopard which we did not have a chance to see from the previous trip. The great migration was the highlight of this trip too - not just once but twice. Silva knew what he was doing and he located us close to the location when the migration took place. Heard from other travelers that they had waited for three days or 7 hours in car without seeing the show. Some did not even had a chance to witness the movement at all. So far we were so lucky to have an experienced guide who knew what he was doing to create the timely happening right in front of us! Thanks so much Silva!
I enjoyed being able to see the wildlife in their natural habitat and everyone around them was respectful - not to disturb them but silently watching with appreciation.
Silva checked out all the locations outlined in our schedules plus more extra as surprises. All in all, this trip was a wonderful experience for us and we would love to go again in the near future. Thanks again Silva - now we have a friend as well!

High Neck Safaris was an awesome experience!
High Neck Safaris was excellent to work with. The experience was great, from the initial contact, through tour planning and all the way through top the final day of the safari. Our guide was Silva- he was an EXCELLENT guide. Very personable, easy going and very knowledgeable. Silva knew exactly where to go for us to see so many different species. He had an innate sense of where we needed to be at different time to see different things- whether it was upclose encounters with lions or being there at just the right time to watch the wildebeest river crossing, Silva always seemed to know where we need to be at the right time.
All of the overnight lodging locations were great, and the food was great also. The box lunches became a little monotonous as the trip went on- but beyond that all of the places we stayed and food were good.
I can't say enough good things about Silva- he was such a wonderful guide. After spending 8 days with Silva, I and the rest of our group now consider him a friend. Hopefully that will explain how much we appreciated his knowledge and enjoyed our time with him.

Yikes, it was SO GOOD!
We were delighted to see all the wild life in the area. BUT, without our guide, we would see much fewer wild life. SILVER drives and SEES animals with such speed that is like he arranges the wildlife for us. A real expert. We really appreciate him and his knowledge.
Also, we feel very safe with his driving.
Lastly, he fits in with our group very well and was very friendly.
Thank you!

Well organized, personable and enjoyable trip
We booked a private five day safari experience with Highneck, starting at Tarangire, going through Ngonongoro and Central Serengeti and ending at Northern Serengeti for the migration river crossings, flying out of Kogatende airstrip to Zanzibar. We had a great time and our guide Edward was a very personable and knowledgeable guide! We saw the river crossings twice thanks to his knowledge as well as so many other rare and beautiful animals, and learned a lot about Tanzania and the region. The price was very fair and cheaper than other offers, well worth it. I can definitely recommend others to book with Zakaria and High Neck / Edward. Cheers!

Fantastic guide, great value for money
We had a lovely smooth experience working with Anna. She gave us an extremely reasonable price to do a one day Ngorongoro safari. Frank was also an awesome guide, knowing exactly where to go to find all the animals and telling us a lot about the history, geography, and culture of Tanzania. Definitely recommend to anyone else looking for a reliable tour operator. They provided water and lunch for us as well.

Mambo Mazuri (all is good) - Most incredible safari experience
High Neck Safaris offered us an incredible safari experience. It was our first visit to Africa. We received all necessary information on time, and Octavian (our contact person) made sure, that the safari was customized to all our wishes. He answered to all our questions quickly. Everything was well organized, especially the transfer from the airport worked well, our driver was already waiting for us.
Our safari began in the morning in Arusha with meeting our guide Edward. He welcomed us with a friendly smile, and we already had a good feeling since the beginning. During our safari (7 days overall, 5 days out in the national parks), we were able to see every animal we could have wished for. Edward showed us incredible places, that were far away from the masses. He cared about everything and fulfilled all our needs and wishes. We learned a lot about the wildlife as well as the Tanzanian culture and people. We are very thankful for every minute, and enjoyed it to the best. Leaving Serengeti and Ngorongoro in the end of our trip was quite hard, because of its beauty and the great experience. To put it in a nutshell, we highly recommend High Neck Safaris to everyone!
Asante sana! Hakuna matata! (Thank you very very much!)

Professional and Meticulous
We selected Highneck Safaris among several local tour operators, as they provided a custom proposal that perfectly matched our needs. Communication was excellent both before and during the trip. Our driver, Edward, was not only a very good driver but also a knowledgeable guide. He took us beyond the standard tourist routes, showing us alternative paths where we could experience nature and wildlife without crowds or other vehicles. Considering our mid-to-high budget, the lodges and food were overall very good. We highly recommend this young yet professional tour operator.
