Awesome Safari with Oltumure Tours and Safaris
My hubby and I were in Tanzania for a 7 days trip. Oltumure gave us epic hospitality and guide. Robert who is the owner of the company is a very awesome person. Kind at heart and very patient and sharp. We really enjoyed our serengeti trip.. Thank you so much Robert. May you be blessed

Bang for ur bucks experience
we (8 adults) from india went for 4 day safari with oltumure safaris. Everything right from airport pickup to droping us back in kilimanjaro airport was planned to perfection and execution was topnotch. we were humbled by the generosity and hospitality of the guides, chefs and Company owner Mr. Robert. The hotel ( Kamat hotel) which we stayed on the presafari night was excellent and the whole setting was very satisfying.
Mr. Robert was very friendly, generous and everything was well taken care of. This company is managed by local tanzanians and gives us bang for our bucks experience.
reg food, safaris, we are super satisfied with the experience provided by oltumure headed by Robert. Thanks Robert for being very generous to us and im sure your company will get infinite growth in future..

Great safari
My wife and I went on a great safari with Oltumure, we planned it for a year, so we had some great expectations, and we were not disappointed in any way.
Robert takes care of his business, he is doing his best to meet his customers before and after the trip, asking for feedback. I feel that this type of personal customer service will bring him success.
Our guide was Noeli, he drove for 10-12 hours a day, he paid full attention during that to every little detail. He was spotting animals with his bare eyes, which we could barely see with binoculars. He took very good care of us, and the car as well. We saw the big five, and a lot more animals too, many of them were in an arm-length distance from the car. He knew a lot about the animals in all four national parks, and told us interesting facts about them, and he is generally a nice guy, we wish him all the best in the future.
Finally, our cook was Gabriel, and the trainee cook was Shedi, they provided us with good food throughout the trip, on the last night they made ugali, which is a local dish, and we ate it together as a family, it was a very good experience.
It also worth mentioning, that we did not have diarrhoea, so the food was not only delicious, but safe too.

Amazing six days safari
We completely enjoyed the trip we had organized by Oltomure from the very beginning to the end. They took care of everything from accommodation, transportation (from and to the airport, through the safari), food, etc. We had 6 days safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara parks.
While going to a safari the most important is the guide you have. We were very lucky to have Victor who is having a lot of experience and explained us a lot of things about the animals helping us to understand their behavior. He is very knowledgeable and knew very well the parks. We've seen a lot of lions in attack or sitting (females with cubs and big lion males), leopards which are very expensive at sight, cheetah in attack, lots of buffalos and all the other herbivores as well as lots of birds (with a lot of background details from Victor). He is having the eagle eyes seeing the animals from far away even though very well camouflaged. There were lots of situations where Victor saw the animal right away pointing it to us and we struggled to see it even with the binocular…yes…this is the experience.
Besides the guide the cook is also important in a safari for multiple days. It is important not only to have good food but food good for your organism. We never had any issues with the stomach and this is the best…believe me we’ve heard some bad situations. Mr. Delicious is cooking as per his nick name…absolutely delicious. We totally loved his soups and still trying to find the recipe for the cucumber one J.
We would totally recommend Oltomure to all travelers wishing to have the Safari of their life. The guys are very professionals and at the end everything pays off.
Thank you Victor, Mr. Delicious and Robert for an amazing safari.

Full days of magic safari experiences
We are a couple from Sweden who have experienced a fantastic 7 days' safari with Oltumure Tours and Safaris, from Arusha, Tanzania, February 14, to February 22, 2015.
Oltumure picked us up at the Kilimanjaro Airport with perfect timing, and everything got a nice start. The first and last night were spent in Arusha at a really comfortable hotel booked by Oltumure. The itinerary covered the Arusha park (walk with Ranger), Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire.
We chose a tent safari to come closer to the nature. Also a private jeep that we shared with our driver and guide Victor John, which contributed to a family feeling. Victor has a sixth sense in predicting and spotting interesting animal doings. He is a guy that likes to deliver maximum performance. Often we were first on site, at sunset, and last to leave after a full day of magic experiences. We really appreciated this ambitious attitude which suited us perfect. We got close encounters with cheeta, leopards, lions, elephants, giraffs, wild beasts, water buffaloes, zebras, and many, many more animals. Thanks to Victor's highly professional knowledge about the animals' behaviour and movements, our safari became an absolute success. Victor - you are just amazing!
We also enjoyed the meals served by our cook Gabriel. The food was well composed and varied, and tasted wonderful. Thank you, Gabriel!
All the Oltumure team worked well together and were always of good humour. We were also accompanied by another Oltumure jeep with two guys. These fellows gave us many laughs and were perfect companions during breaks and meals. We miss them, haha!
The arrangements and the safari schedule were perfectly organized by Oltumure. They appear to be a very flexible and ambitious company, and we wish them all the best for the future. Our warmest thanks to Robert, CEO of Oltumure who delivered all we could wish for.
We did a very thorough survey over safari operators before we decided to go with Oltumure. In the end, it was a combination of quick answers, a good feeling where "7 day safari is 7 day safari", a competitive price and very positive reviews. We can highly recommend Oltumure Tours and Safari, and would not hesitate to go with them on a safari again.
Thanks for everything from a cold Sweden - Hej då och tack för allt.

perfect
We did a 6-day tour (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara) Robert and his team took so much care in arranging the perfect safari for us. Victor was just a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and never getting tired of answering our questions. Bonifaz was a great cook, he always found great ways to make all meals special for the vegetarians and meat-eaters of the group.
After our safari Robert also arranged a day-trip to Kilimanjaro base camp and a walking safari in Arusha Nationalpark for us. All our tours with Oltumure were great, better than we expected and exactly what we wanted and all for very reasonable prices.

Great Experience with Awesome Guides
We did 8 day Lemosho route Kilimanjaro Climb and made it to the top, Uhuru Peak. The price was so much reasonable compared to the big tour companies that you book online as this is a local company and the services for me was 5 stars. Robert the Manager for Oltumure Tours organised everything in one day and gave us the best climb guide,cook and porters. Climb was challenging but the crew helped us at every step. They really looked after us. Our guide, ericke, was motivating at every point. We stayed at Roberts campsite before and after the climb "Sakina Campsite" and the place is very relaxing,close to arusha town and facilities were good. i was a bit worried going to Kenya and Tanzania initially but this experience with Roberts company,im definately going back. Also people don't let the Ebola scare stop you from going to Tanzania. Ebola is in west africa . Be smart a traveller,be careful with your habits such as what you eat and drink etc and this applies going to any country. I totally recommend Oltumure tours for your safaris and climb in tanzania.
Amazing 3-day Safari!
We highly recommend to stay in Sakina Campsite and to book your trip with Oltumure Tours & Safaris. Robert was a great host even though we arrived without reservation. He spontaneously organized a fun and exciting Safari trip for us in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara National Parks. Our guide Victor was never tired explaining us the amazing wildlife and our cook Moses treated us with great food after the long days in the parks. Asante sana!
