Bestday? 100%!
Truly, the best experience!
My husband and I are both avid travelers, but setting out to find a reliable and communicative safari company in Arusha (from our home in Chicago) was no easy task. There were so many companies and I was anxious about wiring money and uncertain about what trip would be the very best for our honeymoon.
I sent Peter a message and his first response put me at ease. He responded to messages thoughtfully and with lightning speed! Whenever I had a question, no matter how silly, he would send back a detailed response and it usually was waiting in my inbox by morning.
We decided on a 4-night, 5-day safari to Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP and the Ngorogoro Crater. Our guide, Six, was also amazing. He was very friendly and appeared to genuinely love being in the parks and sharing information with us! He also has a big heart and seems to be a very popular guy in the area. We always stopped to share our extra lunch items with Masai children and Six was ready to lend a helping hand to those who need it, i.e. bringing a sweatshirt to a Masai man who was desperately in need of one.
As far as the animals, I couldn’t have been more impressed! I read so many reviews and began feeling concerned that I had very high expectations for our game drives. Whaoooo, was I wrong. We saw all the BIG Five (black rhino from a very far distance) and saw most of them numerous times. We were within touching distance of several male lions, lion cubs, cheetah family, elephant, and giraffe. We saw a rare event in which a hyena managed to kill a baby hippo and so many other fascinating things. Since returning, all we talk about is when we will be going back.
We also loved that the company is locally owned and operated. These guys really know what they are doing and understand the details far better than any foreign company.
I could go on and on, but send Peter a message and get your Bestday Safari booked now-you won’t be disappointed!

Individual attention and a wonderful experience!
We felt Godfrey, our driver and guide, was a step ahead of the other drivers. We often arrived before anyone else to view lions, cheetahs or elephants. His knowledge was outstanding. Best Day Safari also offer a personal tour; we had the safari to ourselves!
The perfect trip
We did the 5-days tour (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro) with BestDay safari and it really was the perfect trip:
- The most important thing first: Peter, the owner, is not only extremely friendly but also takes care of your personal needs. Dullah, our driver, was just the nicest person and taught us a lot about Tansania and its culture. Thanks to Dullah, we saw the "Big 5" as well as so many other species. Peter and Dullah really made the trip special! Also they are both from Arusha and we would always recommend to support a local company (not the big Indian companies that don't pay the employees well).
- The lodges and tented camps were all clean, cosy and something special. The staff was always nice and the food delicious (no stomach problems).
- The parks and animals are for us Europeans just very impressive! It's a once in a lifetime trip, guys :)!
- The people in Tansania are incredibly friendly and the culture very special. We always felt safe!
- All in all, really a perfect trip with good value-for-money!

Absolutely recommendable!
We had a 3 day safari, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater in October 2016. It was all super organized, although we booked by mail three days previously.
We were picked up early in the morning at the airport by our safari guide and were able to start directly with the safari. The lodges we agreed with Peter by mail. Depending on the budget, he offers appropriate lodges. Our recommendation: Luxury Tended Camp in the Serengeti and Sopa Lodge in Ngorongoro Crater. A bit more expensive but absolutely recommendable.
Bestday Safari is definitely recommendable, thanks again to Peter.

Great Value
Peter and our tour guy, Six, were very helpful. We were amazed how much we could see in 3 and half day tour. We saw all the animals that we wanted to see. We love waking up with animals around the tent and saw zebras at our hotel courtyard at night.

Excellent Safari Experience
Best Day Safari offered the experience we wanted at a very reasonable rate. Their delivery was impeccable and our guide was remarkable. He found every type of animal, there can be no criticism for not seeing a Rhino, including the small rare cats. How he finds them while driving is a wonder. The accommodation was spot on especially KatiKati and I can't recommend them enough.

Great experience and highly recommend
If you are looking for a great experience with Safari in Tanzania, BestDay Safari is a great option! It was my first Safari and I had no clue in what to take, what to expect, etc...and Peter was very helpful all the time, answering the emails and giving all the best tips! The Safari was amazing! We saw plenty of animals, lion huntig, babies with their moms and all the Big Five in Serengueti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire! The lodges were very good, as well as the meals! I highly recommend BestDay Safari and hope you have a great experience!
Amazing safari adventure with great people

The safari was a new adventure for us and we enjoyed it a lot,our driver was really good, and the lodges were so nice, definitely recommended.
It was a real pleasure to meet a nice helpful guy like Peter to make our stay in Tanzania better than expected.

Bestday gave us a best day every day!
Well organised, trustworthy and well executed safari.
Communication before the safari was good and Peter was very accommodating with our needs and changes to itinerary.
Our flight was delayed by 12 hours and they were still able make last minute changes and look after us.
The days we were on safari were excellent.
The driver was an incredible spotter and managed to get us up close and personal to so many amazing animals and action.
I have no hesitation in recommending Bestdays to you

incredible experience
My girlfriend and I booked a 3-day trip to the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater at Bestday safaris. It was an amazing experience. It was all super organized, the nights and the food was excellent and the driver was very good. We enjoyed the time and would book again with best day safaris.
