Highly recommended
If you want to be a responsible tourist, you should book with a local company—Full Package is one such company, and a very good one at that! We went on a 5-day safari, and our guide and driver, Babuu, was truly experienced and patient; he always made sure to position us in the best spots for wildlife viewing and photography. We managed to see the "Big Five" and much more! We started our days very early and would return to the hotel at sunset. He also made sure that vegetarian options were provided for all my meals. We never felt rushed, nor did we feel pressured regarding tips—he didn't even mention them—though we gave him one anyway, as it was well-deserved! Devid, our agent, was quick to respond, accommodated all our requests, and was also very patient. The accommodations provided were of high quality, but I’d like to highlight our stay in the Serengeti at the "Into Wild Africa Luxury Safari Lodge"—it was excellent in every respect. It’s also located along a natural wildlife corridor; at night, lions even came right up to the swimming pool! As for the vehicle, I must admit it was a bit old, but we didn't encounter any issues (we did see several other vehicles with mechanical problems during the safari). I requested quotes from several companies, and I’m so glad I chose this one; they met all our expectations and helped us have a dream vacation!

Terrible company. I Don't know how they can have 5 Stars. The Worst Safari Company.
I don’t understand how this company can have 5 stars. Unfortunately, our experience was not good, and we would not hire them again.
During the planning phase, Judith was very kind and accommodating. She put together our itinerary, accepted changes, and answered our questions. However, once the trip began, the experience changed completely.
I want to distinguish between Acram, our Spanish-speaking guide, and the safari driver, as our opinion of the two is entirely different.
- The driver’s attitude:
From the second day on, he began to show annoyance regarding the tips we left at the accommodations. He gave us a lecture in the vehicle about how much we should be tipping him and the hotel staff—a conversation that felt like a demand and made us very uncomfortable.
We have never had an issue with leaving tips, and we made sure to distribute them among the various staff members who assisted us. What bothered us was the way he demanded them; his attitude made it clear that he was primarily focused on money.
Throughout the entire safari, he never sat at the table with us—unlike other drivers, who would share those moments with their guests. We aren’t sure if it was personal, but while other groups’ guides or drivers would sit with their tourists, we were always left on our own because he never wanted to join us for meals. Furthermore, right from the start, he instructed us not to speak to him and to direct all our questions to Acram instead. His behavior was arrogant and unpleasant, and it left us feeling as though we had no real support or companionship.
- Safari schedules and duration:
While we observed other groups heading out around 6:30 AM and returning near 6:00 PM, we typically didn’t leave until 8:30 AM and would return around 4:00 PM.
WE WERE ALWAYS THE LAST ONES TO LEAVE. For the last two days, we asked to head out at 7:00 AM to make the most of the experience, but the driver kept asking us repeatedly if we were sure we wanted to leave that early. We were always the last ones to depart, and he constantly looked sleepy.
- The vehicle and the snacks
The van was old, and the snacks promised in the itinerary turned out to be nothing more than cookies and popcorn—leftovers from the packed meals provided to other tourists at the accommodations we visited. In other words, the snacks given to guests at their lodgings were simply left in the van for the next group of tourists. 🫠
On the final day, while we were on our way to the airport, another van broke down, leaving us stranded in the middle of Arusha.
- Transfer to Zanzibar:
When it was time to head to the airport for our flight to Zanzibar, the driver asked us what time our plane was leaving. We had to contact the company ourselves to confirm the departure time—something that should have been handled by them. Very unpleasant.
- Judith
She was very attentive during the planning phase, but once the trip began, she practically disappeared. She never checked in to see how the experience was going or if we needed any assistance. It felt as though the support ended the moment the payment was made.
The highlight of our experience: Acram
We want to give a special mention to Acram, our Spanish-speaking guide. He was kind and incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and the environment. Thanks to him, we were able to learn so much more and truly enjoy the places we visited.
ALSO, ON THE LAST DAY, THE VAN CAUGHT FIRE—WITH US INSIDE! WE HAD TO START SCREAMING JUST TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE.
Conclusion
The experience fell far short of our expectations, particularly due to the driver’s attitude, the scheduling, the duration of the outings, and the condition of the vehicle.
We paid a significant amount and expected a level of service to match. It is not about an unwillingness to tip or a desire for unnecessary luxuries; rather, it is about being treated with respect, having good organization, and being able to fully enjoy the experience. We felt a great deal of contempt from the driver toward us.
We would not book with Full Package Adventures again, nor would we recommend them. Given the price we paid, we expected much more—especially in terms of how we were treated. The only real highlight was the work of Acram, our guide. I cannot write any more, as anything else I might add would not be positive.

It was really nice
The four of us—two adults and two children—had a wonderful safari. The guides were first-class. We received a wealth of information and enjoyed a safe journey. We saw all of the "Big Five."

kindnees very good guide
We booked our honeymoon safari with Full Package Adventures, and it has been an amazing experience!
Everything was well organized, and the communication was excellent from the beginning. Our guide was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the wildlife. He made sure we were comfortable and helped us see so many incredible animals.
The private safari was especially wonderful because we could enjoy everything at our own pace. We felt safe and well taken care of throughout the trip.
We are very happy that we chose Full Package Adventures for our honeymoon. Thank you for making our trip so special and unforgettable! We highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Tanzania!

Authentic, knowledgeable and always trying to make the best out of every situation for the client
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Devid and Festo and couldn’t have wished for a better safari!
Devid was our organizer, and he was fantastic from start to finish. He was always incredibly responsive, flexible, and accommodating when it came to tailoring our itinerary to our wishes. He also helped arrange a special surprise at my boyfriend’s request, which made the experience even more memorable. We really appreciated how thoughtful and easy he made everything for us!
Festo was our driver and guide, and we had the best time with him! He is extremely knowledgeable, has an amazing eye for spotting animals, and is always happy to share his knowledge and explain what you’re seeing. Beyond that, he genuinely cares about making sure you feel comfortable, happy, and well looked after throughout the entire journey. You can really tell that he goes the extra mile to make your safari as special as possible.
We spent eight incredible days exploring Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, and both Central and Northern Serengeti. The wildlife sightings and encounters were simply breathtaking. We saw all the animals we had hoped for, experienced so many different and unforgettable moments, and even got to see more than we could ever have wished for!
We couldn’t recommend this team at Full Package Adventure more highly. If you’re looking for a memorable, personalized safari with people who genuinely care about your experience, Devid and Festo are an amazing choice. Thank you both for making this such a special adventure that we’ll remember for a lifetime!

A Smooth and Reliable Tanzania Safari – Highly Recommended
We have now completed our Africa trip and returned home safely. Looking back on the whole journey, communication with Devid in the early stages was smooth and efficient, and he was responsive in making multiple adjustments to the itinerary based on our needs. The agency proved reliable overall — all booked hotels and activities went smoothly, and the accommodations were excellent. Our guide, Hillary, was exceptionally dedicated and responsible. He regularly checked and maintained the vehicle to ensure our safety, and was also very thoughtful in planning the next day's schedule according to our preferences. Overall, it was a smooth, well-organized trip with no issues.

Incredible experience, Unparalleled
The experience has been incredible, it exceeded all our expectations. Abel and Babu, both very friendly, cheerful, taught us a lot about the parks and their culture showing the great experience they have, they really make you feel at home. In every park we visited, we managed to see all the animals we wanted and always in an excellent location.
The accommodations are very good, clean, excellent food and very well located. Communication with the manager was fast, solving doubts, communication was effective.
100% recommended, for a next time, we choose again Full Package Adventures without a doubt.

The best experience
Our experience was excellent! The hotels we stayed at were beautiful, with meals included and excellent service. This was especially true in the Serengeti, where we had the opportunity to stay inside the park, surrounded by animals at night. However, we always felt safe, as the staff kept watch over the area.
Our guides, Abel and Babu, were the highlight of our trip! They taught us about their culture and language with great kindness, patience, and a wonderful sense of humor.
Transportation between the airport, hotels, and parks was very efficient and punctual, but also flexible whenever needed, which is another point in favor of the guides!
Communication with the company was excellent and prompt whenever we had questions. We compared prices with other companies, and this one definitely offers outstanding value for money.
We highly recommend them!
