Great experience!
In august we had a good time on safari with Best Day Safaris. We booked online last May with Peter and we were able to customize a private safari for 2 person: we spent 5 days on Safari, and we visited 3 parks Tangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater at the price and accommodation level we were looking for. We had a special guide that speaks italian, we had great time with him. Peter gave us valuable advice before starting the journery. The safari itself was amazing and our driver was an excellent wildlife spotter. We recommend them to anyone looking for a quality safari experience in Tanzania.

Absolutely great 3 days in Serengeti and Ngorongoro
After few days in Zanzibar we decided to book a 3 days in Serengeti and Ngorongora. We chose Bestday Safaris among the long list of agencies and we made the very good choice!
Peter was quick to answer our emails and provided all the infomation we asked. Once arrived in Arusha, he meet us at our hotel to discuss with us the latest details in order to make the trip the more confortable for us (we were 6, 2 adults and 4 kids)
The driver was very friendly and spoke a very good french. He even known the french name of every birds we saw in the parks! The hotels in Serengeti and Ngorongora were just perfect! Far more comfortable than we expected. Everything was great during these 3 days!
We definitively recommend this safari agency.

Amazing Experience! Highly Recommended.
We had an amazing time on safari with Best Day Safaris. Working with Peter was effortless and we were able to customize the private safari for 2 exactly as we wanted.. with time in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater at the price and accommodation level we were looking for. Being a vegetarian, there was no issue in making sure there was plenty to eat. The safari itself was amazing and our driver was an excellent wildlife spotter and went the extra mile to make sure we saw lots. Would use them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a quality safari experience in Tanzania.

One of the best experiences of our lives.
We've just come back from our 5 day safari and it was honestly incredible beginning to end. This was our first safari and we had a strict budget. I contacted so many operators and Best Day won me over, not only because their price was so reasonable, but also because Peter responded to every one of my many emails and requests so promptly and politely. On arrival Peter came to meet us in our hotel and we knew we were in good hands. He introduced us to our guide/drive called Dulah who was a great companion and had a wealth of knowledge on every animal and plant we came across, and also gave us a great introduction to Tanzanian culture. He had the eyes of a hawk and the driving skills of a very experienced driver who knew the never ending routes of the national parks like the back of his hand. Every day was the Best Day, from Tarangire to Ngorongoro to the Serengeti and it just got better and better.
The accommodation Peter had booked was incredible. Eileen's Lodge was gorgeous, but what blew us away was Katikati Luxury Camp in the Serengeti. Such unexpected luxury. Our highlight was eating breakfast whilst watching a family of elephants walk by. And it was certainly an experience living so close to the wildlife. There were no fences so having a guard have to walk you to and from your tent when the sun went down to keep away the animals was unforgettable.
We also went on the hot air balloon ride which Peter organised. Peter and Dulah were very professional and helped me to keep it as a surprise for my husband. A highly recommended experience, floating over the Serengeti as the sun rises, spotting elephants, leopards and lions. Then having champagne and an epic English breakfast in the middle of the park. If you can afford it, do it for sure.
All we can say is that we're happy we chose Best Day. They are a small local company and they provided a friendly, professional and personal service. We couldn't have asked for more.

A truly authentic experience of a lifetime!
When I got back from the Safari, people asked me: "Well? How was it??" and the thing is I don't think there is a word or a sentence that can truly describe it... When we first got to the Serengeti, it felt like I was thrown back in time to the first days of the bible where all the animals lived together without fences or borders... This really was one of our best experience ever. From the moment we landed in Arusha we were picked up by a Bestday Safaris driver that took us straight to our hotel (which was also arranged by Bestday) there we met Peter that explained to us exactly what was going to happen in the next few days. Everything was very clear and arranged. The next morning we got picked up by Godfrey who has the eyes of a hawk and would be able to spot an animal a km away; he was very friendly, knowledgeable, and a great driver. The accommodation, the animals we saw, the food and the service we got was very good and I would recommend a Safari trip to anyone who loves animals and the outdoors. We are defiantly thinking about doing another adventure with Bestday safaris in the next few years (maybe Kilimanjaro... :)

Professional, experienced and kind operators
Bestday arranged our honeymoon safari and they lived up to their name! It is run by a bunch of genuine, kind and reliable people who ensured that there was no hiccups at all. They catered to my vegetarian diet with no problem. As well as this they helped us with arranging money exchange, finding adaptors- things that they had no obligation to help with.
I would also say that our driver/ guide was absolutely superb, he clearly knew the roads extremely well, had endless knowledge about every single bird and creature that we saw, and we always felt very secure and comfortable with him.
Bestday offers great value for money, a wonderful experience and truly caring people who want to give you the best experience they possibly can- they are to me, is the kind of people you want to trust your once-in-a-lifetime booking with. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure.

Excellent advice, organization and follow up during the trip
I was recommended Peter and his company BestDay Safari to exchange on the trip I wanted to do my daughter to see wildlife in Africa.
From the start the exchanges with Peter were very good, Peter spent time to exchange and understand our vacation objectives and helped us to progressively shape our ideal vacation. Peter was very patient and had good avice in sequencing the time we had in the most suitable way.
Once finalized, the journey summary provided by Peter was very clear.
We were very well welcomed when arriving in Tanzania, for the briefing session and meeting with our guide and driver.
The organization of the trip was very well made and we learnt a lot from our knowledgeable guide on the wildlife, while the choice of loges was very well aligned with the guidance for accomodation that we had shared during preparation.
This journey was a lifetime experience and I can warmly recommend Peter and Bestday Safari for the great advice, their experience, sense of organization and the very good and friendly contact.

A memorable experience
We had the chance to visit Tanzania earlier this year and be in a awesome contact with its stunning nature and welcoming people. Best Safaris organized for us an amazing private safari (3 days) giving us the opportunity to enjoy the best national parks and see animals while learning a lot about them, their habits, dynamics but also about vegetation and local population. Our guide, Goody, was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable and Peter a very sociable and professional person we could rely on for the organization of the tour. All the rules agreed before hand were respected and we got back to Belgium with an amazing recollection of Tanzania. I recommend anyone to try Best Safaris when discovering the natural beauty of Tanzania.

Excellent Safari in Tanzania
My girlfriend and I did a 4 day safari (Serengeti, Ngoro and Lake Manyara). Peter was very flexible and accommodating. We were under some time constraints and wanted to maximize what we saw. Also, because of flights, we had to start in Mwanza and end in Arusha. Peter was very responsive and created a great customized itinerary for us that made a lot of sense based on what we wanted. He also presented excellent lodging options and found a great substitute last minute when one of the lodges became unavailable. The guide (Godfrey) was extremely professional and very knowledgeable. He did a terrific job trekking animals and told us exactly when to be patient, which paid off big time.
I have done several safaris in Africa and this was by far the best, in large part due to Peter's planning and attention. Would highly recommend.

Excellent experience - Safari+Zanzibar
Me and my boyfriend went on a 7 day Safari to Tarangire, Serengueti and Lake Manyara and we had an amazing time! We went on a budget safari which was very good value for money. Everything was very well organized and Peter was always very helpful! Durona the safari Godfrey was our guide, who made it possible for us to see all the big 5 and Mburi was our excellent cook. Also, Peter kindly organized the trip to Zanzibar. We stood in Nungwi at the beautiful Flame Tree Cottages.
