a wonderful experience
We booked a 5-day safari including Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Peter was very friendly and helpful in replying to emails promptly and answering any questions we had about our upcoming safari. He also met us at the airport (Kilimanjaro) and at our hotel after the trip for our feedback. He also arranged the airport pickup and drop-off for us for a reasonable cost.
Our driver and guide was Godfrey. He had an incredible eye for spotting animals, and shared his vast knowledge of different types of animals with us. We even had fun learning a little bit of Swahili from him. During our visit, many of the animals had moved away from the Serengeti due to the long grass being a good hiding place for predators. Godfrey knew this and took us around the Ndutu and Ngoronogoro plains areas on the second day instead, where we were able to see huge herds of wildebeest and even see a cheetah enjoy his wildebeest meal! The day our safari ended, he dropped us off back at our hotel in Arusha and recommended some good places to visit within walking distance -- we had a great dinner at Khan's BBQ just around the corner.
During our trip, we stayed at Eileen's Inn, Katikati Tented Camp, and Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge. The accommodations were all clean and comfortable. Our packed box lunches were simple, since we needed to be able to eat them while out in the parks, but the prepared dinners at each location were of very good quality and delicious. We had a good variety of food during each dinner, which typically included 2 starches, 2 meats, and 2 vegetable dishes, as well as fruit or other dessert. We really enjoyed our vacation and would recommend Bestday Safaris to anyone who is interested in visiting Tanzania.
4 day safari
We went on a 4 day Safari in Tanzania, we visited Serengeti, Ngogorongoro and Tarangire park. Everything was perfectly arranged by our contact person Peter. He helped us in finding the perfect safari schedule for us, and also booked our flights from Zanzibar and back. We were even picked up at our resort, brought to the airport, and Peter came to pick us up at the airport of Arusha. They are very flexible and proactive in providing the best experience.
As a tour guide, we had Steven. He was an excellent guide with incredible knowledge about Tanzania, the area, the animals and everything else we wanted to know. We really had a great experience and we can recommend it to everybody.
It are the small things that matter - before we headed back to the airport, I asked Peter if he knew a place to buy some nice Tanzanian coffee. He immediately came for an early pickup at our hotel, and took us to a coffee plantage. This is real good service. Thank you Peter and Steven for an experience to remember for life.

Awesome Wildlife Adventure
We booked the 3-days Safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Park. Peter did a great Job in taking care of the organization of the trip. Everything worked out very well. The driver/guide was our hawk eye to spot all the different creatures in the wild. That's how we got lucky enough to see the Big 5 and a large number of other species! The car was very comfortable and accomodations were excellent (both Rhino lodge as well as the Katikati luxury tented camp). I can recommend this tour to everyone who wants to experience real wildlife! We had an awesome time!!

Great Experience
We did 4 days safari to Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Peter, the manager, was a great help and very reliable. My friend and I got our guide and a cook with who we spent the whole journey. The guide was at the same time the driver and he took us to the game drives starting early morning and finishing at the evening. It was so amazing to see the animals in their own habitation! We did the budget safari so we spent the nights in the tents which was very adventurous. There were hyenas sniffing around and buffalos grassing right at our heads. I would recommend it to everyone to overnight in a tent.
After safari Peter was actively asking for the feedback which we found very good. He also helped us to get to the airport at the end of our journey in Tanzania. All in all a great experience on a professional level.
4 days safari booking...
Landscape, wildlife, accomodation....Unforgettable....they was vacation dreams. All is sammery in the over post...
Amazing safari in Tanzania
In four days we visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro e Serengeti: it was an amazing experience due to the contact with neture and wild animals in their habitat. We were able to observe all kind of animals che abbiamo potuto osservare da vicino grazie alla nostra guida, Arida, thanks to our guide, really knowledgeable and lover of the animal world. Arida Arida was able to show us all the mythical BIG FIVE (lion, rhino, leopard, cheetah and bufalo), as well as zebras, giraffes, gazelles, antelopes, ostriches, hippos, crocodiles, eagles etc.
I advice to stay at least one night in the Serengeti in a tended camp: it is a fantastic experience sleep feeling around animals! The great availability and the timely and complete information of our guide were fundamental: thanks to them we were able to observe the increasingly varied landscapes, the Masai villages, see animals in their natural habitat.
I would strongly advise to choose Bestday!

Great 3-day safari
As a solo traveler, I was struggling to find the safari experience to fit my budget, as well as my inflexible schedule. That is, until I got connected with Peter. Not only did I have a memorable 3-day adventure, but it was all professionally executed and fairly priced. Peter and his team even kept me well fed despite my special dietary needs. In short, if I find myself in Tanzania again, I'm calling Peter. You should too.

Best time ever!!
My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience with the Best Day Safari. The contact was made directly with the owner, Peter, he always answered our questions with great care and kindness. When we arrived in Arusha, he was keen to get to know each other and explain how our safari would be in the coming days. The car´s company was great, our driver very polite and nice, he knew everything about animals. The places we stayed were very good too. When we got back from safari, Peter went to see us again to get our safari feedback. We really recommend the company, we were very happy with their service.

Excellent opcion
We had excellent service offered by Peter and Louis, who tried to do everything in our 3 days Safari, to be really wonderful.
I asked the exchange of Rhino Lodge for Sopa Lodge which was perfect, one of the most beautiful scenes we had the privilege to meet in our lives.
Louis is a guide from Arusha which has a huge knowledge of all the animals of the region and other other tabs. This helps a lot for us to feel in good hands to find the animals in the correct locations.
We saw almost all animals and it was a unique experience in our lives.
PS: Do not forget to take a good Tips to Louis as he deserves.
Thanks for everything!
