Dream come true!
5/5

This was one of the best trips we've ever done! I was planning our safari for quite awhile and was recommended cross to Africa by a friend. Their communication was very clear and fast. What we wanted the most from the safari was to see as many animals as possible. Tony and cross to Africa didn't disappoint! We saw every animal including Multiple cheetah sightings and a leopard in a tree with a kill! It was a dream come true! Tony always managed to get us as close as possible to the action. He went above and beyond what you would expect. To experience it with my family was great! 5 of us had a great time travelling around Tanzania in style in the 4WD.

The accommodation was at a very high standard including 2 nights where we stayed in the Serengeti national Park. We picked medium range accommodation but they were at a very high standard. The highlight was hearing the animal noises whilst staying in a safe and modern tented accommodation with all the amenities of a 4-5 star hotel. Later, I looked up the accommodation online, if we booked it ourselves, it would have cost about 4x what we paid!

In addition to safari, whist we were travelling they also offered cultural experiences including a visit to a massai settlement and a meal a local home.

Overall,a dream come true!!

Incredible
5/5

Not only was the trip Incredible but so were Anthony (the Owner) and Ahadi (Our Driver)
From the get go, Anthony was onto it, he replied straight away and made the Tour to our liking.
We originally went to see the Great Migration and we were there too late. He was honest with us that we missed it and suggested another Itinerary to suit us better than wasting our time.
Ahadi was such a fun and positive driver and very responsible. He even went the extra mile to go find animals in the afternoon when some of the people in our group wanted a break. This is where he found a Leopard super close up and it was incredible.
I definitely recommend this Company if you are considering going to the Serengeti :)

A trip beyond our wildest dreams! A trip of a lifetime!
5/5

Even at the very first conversation, Anthony has responded quickly, friendly and professionally to all our questions. Without a moment's hesitation, he helped us tailor this safari experience to our needs and thanks to that we had an amazing honeymoon. With a smile on his face, we met at the airport and we knew we were in great hands. Nothing but smooth sailing from that point on, from start till finish.

Our driver, Richard, was extremely knowledgeable about the animals. We could ask him any question we'd like and he'd be able to answer them. Richard even had a 'rule': "100 questions per day", which we obliged to. Not a single one he was unable to answer! Not only answering the questions about animals but spotting them while driving gained him the nickname "Eagle Eyes". He always knew when to wait for the best opportunity to spot the animals and how to position the car for taking the best photo.

All in all an experience that vastly surpassed our expectations, which gave us a honeymoon we will never forget. A trip of a lifetime.
We will definitely come back for another safari, and we will choose this tour operator within a heartbeat.
Thank you for taking such good care of us Anthony and Richard! Asante sana!!!

So exciting safari-tour. We will not forget it.
5/5

Anthony, the owner, is an exceptional person, always ready to answer to every my question during the first e.mail contacts; and careful both on our arrival and departure.
Peter is a driver guide full of qualities: expert, patient, helpful, careful to every our need, prudent driving, good-natured, full of informations about the tour and the animals.
Youssouf and Joseph, the guide and the driver of the one-day Masai village tour, were pleasant and sympathetic.
The 6 days Safari tour was incredible, everything was ok, all was unforgettable, more than every our expectation.
Thank you so much, Cross to Africa Safaris

Amazing Service
5/5

From the moment we found this tour company Anthony has gone above and beyond for us. Anthony was always quick to reply to the many emails I sent him and no matter what we asked, it was all possible and never seemed like it was any hassle. We had a great trip and it was relaxing knowing that everything was taken care of. Our driver, Ahadi, incredible. He knows so much and managed to answer every single one of our questions about anything and everything we saw. All 5 of us guests, highly recommend this tour company. Would go back and do another tour with them in a heart beat. Thank you for taking such good care of us Anthony and Ahadi.

Unforgetable safari...go for it!!
5/5

If you are looking for a professional tour operator for your African safari, you've found it!
We had a 10 days safari visiting lake Manyara, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro crater, the banana plantations in Mto Wa Mbu and the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes. It was all very well organized and we had an unforgettable experience that we want to repeat again with them!

All the team from "Cross to Africa Safaris" has been great! Anthony (the manager) planned the amazing our trip: he was very professional, very helpful and flexible with our requests and always available and ready during the planning process. The guide/driver (Ahadi) has been the most professional safari guide we ever met: he is extremely knowledgeable (we nicknamed him "Google"!), a great person and he knows how to make you experience the safari at its best (e.g., he always knew when to wait for an interesting scene, where to spot animals and how to position the car for you to take the best photo!). And finally, the cook (Baraka) was always making us feel home with his food!

Don't hesitate and choose them for your own safari!

Extremely Professional Tour Company
5/5

Cross to Africa Safari was an extremely professional tour company. The representative I spent the most time with went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, a tall order for a solo female traveler! He was kind enough to customize a trip that fit my budget and he delivered exactly what was promised! I had met other safari-goers who had horrible experiences being tossed around between guides and not getting the experience they paid for. I experienced the exact opposite! Everything they promised in terms of the parks we visited, the duration, the experience, the food, and the campsite was exactly as promised. The experience was great! I saw all the wildlife I wanted and had a great time. What's more — the company is owned by local Tanzanians! Such a great experience and I highly recommend them.

Extremely professional touring company
5/5

We did a 6 night safari tour with Cross to Africa safaris that included Lake Manyara, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. Stayed in 3 different properties that were all first class. Our guide was Abuu Shaban and he was outstanding and very knowledgeable. Everything that was done was top notch and on time. Lodging was great and food was very good. These guys really know what they are doing. Would love to do this again based upon this experience and would highly recommend Cross To Africa Safaris as the company to book your safari with.

Great 4-day-Safari to Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro
5/5

I had a wonderful Safari booked through Cross to Africa Safaris and operated by Meru Slopes (they cooperate and fill each other's cars as they offer the same tours). We went to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro for four days and I had a great time! The food was excellent and everything was taken care of. I especially liked how the little local African operators supported each other in finding animals or helping out when someone was stuck.
They even started buying different sized bottles when we mentioned our concern about the plastic waste that was so much bigger with the smaller bottles. So it shows that it pays off to also worry a bit about the ecological aspect as a traveler.
All in all, a very recommendable trip!
