Very knowledgeable and friendly
We booked our tour with Jackline. Throughout the whole experience she was so thoughtful and kind. She tailored the safari to work around our dates and the parks we wanted to see as well as working within our budget.
Our tour was for 4 days. We seen all of the big 5 as well as many other animals. Our driver Racheed was extremely knowledgeable about each of the animals and also took the time to teach us some local Swahili words. Overall the experience was amazing and I would recommend to any others considering doing a tour.

Incredible Safari through the National parks of Tansania
We had an incredible tour through the several national parks of Tansania. We were in a car (safari toyota landcruiser) with 4 other very nice people and a very friendly and competent driver. We saw the big 5 and a lot of other animals. I highly recommend this tour to anyone thingking about it. Would do it again all day. The accommodations were great. You only have to know that you’ll be sitting in a car for a verly long time each day. Game drives are just a part of the safari. You will spent a couple of hours each day to get to or back to your lodge. But that is normal as there usually are no lodges directly in the parks.

AMAZING
We had an amazing 5-day safari with Best Time Adventures, visiting Tarangire, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The value for money was honestly incredible, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations.
A special mention has to go to Jackline, who was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She was so kind, accommodating and genuinely caring, constantly checking in to make sure everything was going well. She’s an absolute sweetheart and you can tell she truly cares about her guests.
We also had 2 nights afterwards at an awesome resort with a pool, which was the perfect way to relax after the safari.
Couldn’t recommend Best Time Adventures and Jackline enough. Amazing experience, incredible value and such a lovely person to deal with! 🇹🇿❤️

Unforgettable Safari and Hiking Experience
We did a 7-day tour including 5 days of safari in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara. The tour was perfectly organized by our local contact Ivone and an amazing experience. We had a wonderful guide during the safari and really enjoyed the beautiful nature. After the safari, we did a 1-day hike at Mount Kilimanjaro with a private guide, which was a wonderful experience and a 1-day visit of the Materuni Waterfalls. It was really nice to hike in the nature after 5 days in the safari truck. Overall, a perfect combination and just so much to see. All admission fees were included and I can only recommend Best Time Adventures!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience
It was an absolutely wonderful safari tour!
Our guide showed us so many different animals up close, including lions and elephants. He was very knowledgeable and made the experience even more special.
All the meals were also delicious throughout the trip.
Thank you so much to everyone who made this safari such a memorable experience! I had an amazing time. 😊

An unforgettable experience
We booked a safari in Tanzania through Best Time Adventures, and it was one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. This was the first and the only safari we've had so far, so we have nothing to compare it to, but we can totally recommend the company, the tour was well organized, all the activities in the quote were provided, and we ended up very happy with it. The communication was good, Jackline who was our contact person was very friendly and responsive, always ready to answer any questions we had.
We took a longer and a more expensive version of the safari and had people with other durations and levels of comfort in the car, so the game drive experience during the day is the same, the difference is only in the accomodations and the number of places you visit. We still thought it was worth the money, because it felt so good to have a big comfortable bed, a hot shower and good food after an eventful day on a dusty bumpy road (believe me, you will want a shower). The luxury camping sites in the parks exceeded our expectations, even though we didn't have much time to enjoy them. You feel very welcome, and it's amazing how they create that level of comfort in the middle of wilderness, with only solar panels as sources of power, wood fires to warm up the water, and wild animals wandering around, with no fences or walls whatsoever. In one of them we were served a 4-course dinner with dishes looking and tasting like at a good restaurant. Think of a 4-star hotel room rather than a tent, but you open your tarp "door" and you see a herd of water buffalos a few meters away (that's what we saw at our camp, and they say you may also see hippos and other animals; the other guys in our car had lions feasting on a buffalo like 200 meters from their camping site, we came there the following morning and they were still there). We had 5 people in our car besides the driver (who was also the guide), and it felt comfortable enough, but it would feel crowded if all 7 seats were taken, because there's not so much luggage space and we used the vacant seats to have our backpacks and the lunch box in. The car had USB charging outlets and a fridge with cool water and coke as described, but didn't have the advertised WiFi (which was not a problem, we bought an eSIM anyway and had decent coverage in almost all of the places, and all the hotels and camps had WiFi).
Special thanks to Yusuph who was our guide during the first five days. He is not only very good at spotting animals and a nice person, but also an invaluable source of insight into Tanzanian life, coming from a local tribe. It’s fascinating how different life and culture can be, and so interesting to hear stories about it from someone who experiences it first-hand. Just hope we didn’t feel too intrusive with all our questions. Totally loved his general positive vibe, too. We got a flat tyre on the road once, which was also solved fast and with a smile, with many locals working on the road coming to help. He even rescued a lion cub who climbed on a spring of another car and got stuck there (just a dozen meters away from its mum!). We’d absolutely recommend having him as a guide, so ask for him if there’s a possibility to choose.
If you are adding a one-day Kilimanjaro hike to the tour like we did, and you are not a very fit person, do not believe anyone who says that it's an easy "walk". It's a 16-km hike on a very uneven path in the woods (8 km one way) with an elevation gain of almost 1000 m, and we were happy we decided to rent trekking poles (also note that usual plastic water bottles are not allowed there, take reusable ones or you may need to rent them, too). The forest there is beautiful, but do not expect any mountain views.
Overall, we had an 8-day tour including the nationals parks Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, lake Manyara, Kilimanjaro hike, and Materuni waterfalls with a coffee tour, but if we only had 4-5 days, we'd leave the first three nationals parks only. That's where you see all the animals and get those typical African postcard views, and we were lucky enough to see the Big Five and the Ugly Five, with lots of animals as close as several meters from the car, which was unbelievable.

Great operator with customizable options

Great Experience with Best Time Adventures
The 4 day safari was a fantastic trip. The Serengeti was standout, however visiting Ngorongoro and Tarangire were also well worth it. Jackline was a real pleasure to deal with, always giving prompt and useful communication. The team were flexible to requests and were genuinely interested in making the experience the best they could for us.

Superb
Best time ever, highly recommended
You can be sure they will try their best for you to have aexperience of a lifetime.
I was alone in a 3 day trip, and the experience was amazing, we were lucky to see all the big 5 and much more with experience drivers, who will try their best to make comfortable the uncomfortable experiences due to the environment. The jeep was comfy, the driver experienced enough to fix a mechanical problem fast, and make you feel safe even if my tent was close enough to hear lions roar at night.
Something worth nothing is that after the trip end, the driver and the hostess let me in the bus station, but my ticket was faulty and almost get in trouble, the office lady Jaqueline and the driver Hasad, stay with me, even if they were tired and out of work, and went out of their way to help me find a new ticket, thank you very much to both of them’
Is a good choice to go with this company, highly reccommended
