Best safari possible
First rate communication, paid deposit on line very easily. Balance when we started our Safari.
The Land Cruiser was great - comfortable, open roof for standing, our guide was very knowledgeable of the animals, trees and birds. The overnight lodge accommodation was outstanding. Three fabulous days, saw all of the big 5 and all within a few metres. Didn't need the binoculars we bought. Will need a long time to review the hundreds of photographs

Amazing safari experience!
We went on a 5 days safari in Tanzania in September.
Instead of booking the trip with a travel agency, we did some research ourselves.
We chose out of more than 10 safari company’s and booked ours with Bestday Safaris.
It was the best choice we could have ever made because we had the most amazing experience with Bestday Safaris.
All the information about our trip, timing, prices, loges,… we received in advance from Peter Charles, the Managing Director of Bestday Safaris.
During the 5 days we spend in Tanzania, we visited Tarangire park, Serengeti and the
Ngorongoro crater.
When we arrived at the airport (4 hours later than planned due to several delays) our driver Goddy was still waiting for us. He welcomed us with “Hakuna Matata” and we knew immediately we were in good hands!
The first day also Peter welcomed us at our hotel and ran through the weekly schedule as we agreed upon before.
Tarangire was the first park we visited. Just entering the park, the animals were already there. But Goddy explained to us that this park was just the appetizer. And in fact it was!
The real experience was Serengeti, an immense surface with beautiful panorama’s. It was amazing to spot the more rare animals but also to see how many of some hurdles are actually there.
On our last day we went into the Ngorongoro crater. Unfortunately we didn’t see any rhino’s, but the view itself was amazing, especially from the top into the crater.
I must say we were very lucky to have such a wonderful driver and guide, Goddy. His knowledge about all the animals and his patience is remarkable. He is friendly, funny, wise, patient, professional and humble. Really a good person himself!
We were happy about the accommodations Bestday Safaris recommended as well.
The accommodation in Kati Kati tented camp was the most amazing experience. Being in the middle of the animals habitat. One to remember!
The food and accommodations were in general very good and Goddy joined us during dinner and breakfast, a good way to get to know each other a little bit better.
We really had an amazing vacation!
We liked it so much that we want to come back!
And for sure, we will again book out trip with Bestday Safaris!

Great safari experience!
We did 4 days safari ( serengeti and ngorongoro) which was a once in a lifetime experience! Peter, the manager, was very attentive and patient from the beginning, when we started planing our trip.. Godfrey, our driver and tour guide has the best eyes and would be able to spot an animal a km away; he was very friendly, knowledgeable, and a great driver. The accommodation, the food (vegan as we requested!) and the service we got were very good and I would definitely recommend a Safari trip with Bestday Safaris to anyone who is in to nature and animals and a unique outdoor experience!

Best Safari Yet!
Having been to South Africa a few years ago, we thought we had seen it all. Not so. Our safari with Bestday far surpassed our previous experience. Our guide, Emmanuel, was so knowledgable we were able to ask him anything and he always knew the answer, be it birds, animals, trees, history of the country, you name it. We took the four night, five day tour and upgraded to luxury tents and b&bs. The places Peter Charles chose for us were excellent and the food was first rate. Thank you Bestday!

Wonderful Safari!
Everything was great, from the initial planning, to the safari itself. Peter was helpful and always responded promptly to our enquiries about the trip. Our driver, Louis, was knowledgeable, friendly and a good driver - overall, a great companion! On a 4-day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, we saw all of the Big 5, and much more! We had a wonderful time with Bestday, and would thoroughly recommend them to anyone.

Excellent Safari
Excellent guide, perfect service , food good and good value for money. If you want to try a unique experience, try to use the option public camp instead of lodge for your staying.

Great time, flawless communication and planning
After doing a lot of research, we booked for a 4 day private mid-range safari with Bestday. They were very responsive during our planning phase, which made it easy to plan and coordinate. During our safari, they really stepped up and helped us solve a missing suitcase issue which was waiting for us upon our return. Our driver (Six) had tons of experience and relationships with other drivers that allowed him to figure out where the action was and take us there. We loved hanging out the top of our pop-top vehicles and appreciated having it be a private tour so we could control how long we stayed at each site. We really enjoyed each of our lodging choices (Eileen's Trees, Ikoma Tented Camp and Rhino Lodge.) Each was very different from each other which added a fun variety to the experience. We highly recommend Bestday, enjoy your safari!

Great Safari company - Fourth time I have booked with Bestday Safaris
I have booked with Peter and Bestday Safaris for 4 years (2009, 2011, 2013 and 2015) and I have never been more pleased with a safari company.
The price that I paid for my 8 day safari in the Serengeti was very good. Communications was excellent during the planning of the safari. The whole vacation went perfectly and I truly believe this is just a great overall company to work with. If you are planning a vacation to East Africa, you cannot go wrong by booking with Bestday Safaris.

Absolutely amazing experience!!!
In late September we had a great time on safari with Best Day Safaris. We booked online with Peter and we were able to customize a private safari for 2 person: we spent 4 days on Safari, and we visited 3 parks Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater at the price and accommodation level we were looking for. Thanks to our amazing guide and driver Phelix - Asante kaka once again,our safari was amazing!!! He was an excellent wildlife spotter.We saw lions 2.5 meters away few times,once we saw 15 lions under one tree:),a cheetah very close and even rhino.Good personality and experience of Phelix made our holiday unforgettable. Tented camp in the heart of Serengeti Park with animals very close during the night was also a great experience .Everything was perfectly organized.We went aslo for ballon trip over Serengeti park.Breathtaking views.
We recommend them to anyone looking for a quality safari experience in Tanzania. Thanks again! We are loooking forward to seeing U again in Kenya and Tanzainia:)

Once in a lifetime experience!
Peter and Louis were amazing. Peter not only assisted me with booking this safari for myself and my friends, but he also guided me and gave me sound advice regarding other aspects of my trip that had nothing to do with the safari. In other words, he went above and beyond the call of duty and truly helped me and my friends to have a great trip in this beautiful country. Louis was our safari guide and was superb as well. He is funny, knowledgeable, and a great guide. The safari would not have been the same without him. Thank you to the whole crew! I highly recommend Bestday Safaris!!!
