Highly recommend--Amazing experience (from Minnesota,USA)
My daughter and I are from Rochester, Minnesota, USA and had an amazing experience with Bestday Safaris. We chose to do the 3 day and 2 night safari (Ngorongoro crater, Lake Manyara, and Tanganire), and Peter was very good at emailing with us and catering to our needs. We saw so many incredible animals (elephants--very close and we saw them bathing too--, zebras, baboons, wildebeest, lions, rhinos, giraffes, hippos, ostriches, warthogs, various colorful birds, and rodents too) and we got very close too. Being from a place with a climate very different than Africa's it was all very beautiful and interesting and our guide Godfrey was great at helping us learn about the climate. Godfrey had the best eye and would be able to spot an animal miles away; he was very friendly, knowledgeable, and a VERY GOOD driver. Our experience couldn't have been better with Bestday Safaris and we would recommend it to anyone and everyone; so if you are deciding between some, choose this one, you won't be disappointed.

Unforgettable safari!
I had an all around amazing experience with Bestday safaris. I did a 6day/5night safari. Organising the safari was easy as Mr Peter always responded to my emails in a timely fashion.
I travelled solo and was the only person on the safari. Joseph was my driver and I had such a great time with him. He was knowledgable, punctual and was phenomenal at spotting hidden animals in bushes/trees etc. We had some hilarious conversations on the drives to the game parks and importantly throughout the experience I always felt safe.
Accomodation was great, service was excellent, the places were very clean and the food was great.
We completed the big 5! :)
Day 1:
Tarangire national park: the park is beautiful and very green in the wet season. I saw countless numbers of elephants, a pride of lions, a leopard hiding in a bush and many other animals
Day 2-4:
Ngorongoro conservation area and Serengeti national park. Had the opportunity to see the masai villages from a far. Witnessed the beautiful landscape in the conservation area. The Serengeti is breath taking it actually looks like what you see in the nature documentaries. There were many wildebeest, zeebra, antelopes. There was a pride of lions on a huge boulder, a lion cub in a tree, 3 cheetahs and we saw another 5 leopards!!!!
Day 5:
Ngorongoro crater is such unique place. It is actually a an animal paradise. zeebras and wildebeest everywhere! Joseph also helped me spot the critically endangered eastern black rhino.
Day 6:
Lake manyara national park offered a variety of species of birds to see, lots of buffalo and countless numbers of baboons.
Thank you again Bestdays safari and especially you Joseph! I would recommend this company to all they helped me a complete a lifelong dream of seeing and photographing African wildlife.

Amazing Adventure
We were thoroughly happy with Bestday Safaris and enjoyed all aspects of our recent safari to the Serengeti National park and Ngorogoro crater. Our guide Emanuel was very knowledgeable about all the animals and also the birds throughout the park. We witnessed large prides of lions watching the zebras and basking in the muddy fields. We were fortunate to see the 'big 5' as many do not. Our accommodations in Ikoma tented camp were basic but what a thrill to listen to the close sounds of the animal nightlife! The Rhino lodge in Ngorogoro was very comfortable and the food was extremely tasty. We did do the hot air balloon ride( which was arranged by Peter) over the Serengeti which was one of the most peaceful experiences we have ever had. The champagne and full English breakfast served after the ride was also very memorable We finished our excursion with a day tour to Mount Kilimanjaro which was not just amazing to see but we witnessed climbers and porters as they finished their hard trek to the peak. The outpost lodge in Arusha was comfortable and a great place to relax after the safari. Peter was at our lodge every day making sure things were okay - he certainly wants things done well by his staff and others he works with. I would certainly recommend Bestday Safaris to anyone!

Not great, but dealt with problems well
Let's start by saying the Ngorogoro Crater and Serengeti were both amazing. The standard of the food was excellent.
However, this trip could definitely have been done in 3 days not 4, particularly as we had one 'rest' day at a campsite with nothing much happening. At $135 per day, that's an expensive rest.
Also the tents provided by the affiliate were entirely unsuitable for camping at the top of the crater. Thin plastic poles, one of which broke, flimsy plastic covering, no guy ropes. the crater top is cold, wet windy and you need the proper safari tents that most other operators provided. All my stuff got wet and i hardly slept.
Upon return at Arusha, Bestday listened to my complaint and took it on board. They promised not to use that affiliate again and paid for my hostel that night, so i felt they dealt with it well.

Excellent staff and service
My boyfriend and I spend 10 days in Tanzania visiting Tarangire Park, Lake Eyasi, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti Park. We slep in a medium tended camp and tree nights in a lodge, everithing was really nice, with a traditional goodfoood and confortable accomodation. Our guide Geremy and our driver Godfrey (Gody) were really kind with us and they take care of us in all safari tour. We see a lot of animals and the jeep never give a problems. The Bestday safsri choise for us was the best one because was the most cheap safari that we checked on web with I high quality. The boss (Peter) of safari agency is a really honest and serious person that love is job.

Five Star Experience
I'm the husband of Kerstin Lehnert who wrote a review, and I want to confirm my agreement with everything she wrote. We are both geological researchers with a lot of outdoor experience all over the world and high standards. This was a great experience by a great company. Peter went out of his way to help us, even organizing a tour of Arusha on the day we arrived, and Godfrey was an excellent and knowledgeable guide through the trip. I look forward to going back to Tanzania and using Bestday Safari again.

Best TIME Safari! Great company.
My husband and I went on a 4-day safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire with Bestday Safari, and we had an absolutely fantastic time. Our guide (Godfrey) was super, very knowledgable, a great resource about Tanzania, its culture, society, and especially the animals. He made every effort to get us to see as much as possible (we did indeed see the 'Big 5' and so much more, especially birds). The accommodations were beautiful, well maintained and comfortable, very welcoming and friendly. We stayed in tented camps (one was quite luxurious) and one inn. I would very much like to come back to Tanzania and would definitely book local trips with Bestday Safari and Peter again.

Best Day Safaris deserves its name !
We used Best Day Safaris to organize our honeymoon in Tanzania.
We did a 4 days Safari in Manyara/Serengeti/Ngorongoro and then a week in Zanzibar for kitesurfing.
We were very happy with the service provided by Best Day Safaris. Peter booked our internal flights for us and transportation from and to the different airports. When we arrived, our kite bag did not make it so Peter took care of it while we were on the safari. It was with him when we got back.
About the safari, our driver Hamza was very friendly and experienced. He did a really good job and was very committed to provide us with the best experience we could possibly have. We saw a lot of animals and he brought us to a really cool Masaii village ! The tented camps and lodges were excellent.
I would totally recommend Best Day Safaris to my friends and family and would go through them next time I come to Tanzania.

Unforgettable Experience!
I always wanted to visit Africa since i was a child, explore the greenery, meet the people, see wildlife in its natural form so i convinced my husband that one of the things that we ought to do is visit Africa and climb Mt. Killimanjaro!
Since this trip meant so much to me i just wanted it to be perfect, i remember sending soo many emails with all sorts of queries and questions to peter and he not even for once shut me down or was unavailable to answer them.
From arranging a tour according to our budget, giving us the best of the lodges to stay in, ensuring we are in the company of well informed guides, they really made our experience in Africa a truly unforgettable one!

Excellent Personal Service!
My wife and I had a wonderful Safari Tour in Tanzania with Bestdaysafaris. We opted for a private Land Rover with a great English Speaking driver, he made sure that we got to see the Big 5 and really went out of his way to make sure that we were safe at all times. Next time we go to the Serengeti I would definitely use them and would not have any hesitation to recommend them to our friends and family. At the end of our Safari, Peter (the owner of the Bestdaysafaris) greeted us at the 5 Star Hotel that was booked by them. Great People to work with. Thanks Peter
