it was like a dream..
We were 25 students on vacation with this company and all we can say is it was like a dream seeing live the female lions chasing the buffalo catching and finally slaughtering it but rather waiting for the male lion to come and eat flesh inside like utensils etc. it was like a dream visiting Oldupai Gorge/the cradle of mankind and getting amazing history, it was like a dream visiting and dancing with young maasai/ol morani, it was like a dream descending into ngorongoro crater with beautiful wall with green natural grass carpet, it was like a dream walking through the base of mount Kilimanjaro... it was like a dream hunting with the bushmen resembling those of the god must be crazy...
We have many memories and stories to tell but we only finalize by recommending this fantastic company for your safari to Tanzania...

We warmly recommend this fantastic company
We found them here in Safaribooking and after looking carefully into their reviews we decided to book with them the six days hotel safari. Now after safari, all i can say is that as a family group of five people, we had a fantastic safari.
Our guide was superb and I truly believe he was one of the best – compared to others we saw during our trip – and equipped with one of the best car, which is very important in that kind of trip. Safaris,villages… we came out with the sense that we made the most of our trip.
Thank you

Our honeymoon safari was fantastic!
Our guide (Mr.Abdul) was very knowledgeable about various animals and he made sure that we saw the big 5 and more. The vehicle was very clean and well maintained.
This truly was a trip of a lifetime, we will definitely recommend Fantastic Safaris to others going of Safari in Tanzania! It was great having such personal service. Great job and thanks for making our honeymoon such a memorable trip!!!

Fantastic Safaris is the fantastic agency
My experience in Tanzania with this agency was fantastic! Abdallah arranged the perfect tour for us, all the accommodations he chose for us and also the itinerary were great. The tour was very well organised in time. The guide was really professional and shared all his knowledge about nature with us. Fantastic Safaris is the fantastic agency for your safari.

Yes, we had a fantastic safari
Yes, we had a fantastic safari in general and here in below is our evaluation;
THE DRIVER:
The driver was extremely bright and knowledgeable not only about the animals and their habits, but about Tanzanian culture, history, politics, e.t.c as well. He was very generous in sharing his information, kept a running commentary throughout the day. I don’t think there was a single question he couldn’t answer. Very personable as well and a lot of fun! Very good eye for spotting animals too.
VEHICLES:
Vehicles were fantastic for viewing because with top up, vehicles allowed for a breeze and were very comfortable.
THE COOK:
We had a fantastic chef – Every meal was fantastic, good variety and we ate much better (and more) food on safari than we do at home.

It was our fantastic safari, i reccommend this company to all who want to do safari..
My wife and I have just had the most fantastic safari anyone could wish for. We did the six days safari joining a group while staying in tented camps (middle range), Lake Manyara Wildlife Safari camp and Serengeti Wild Camp were beyond our wildest dreams along with Rhino lodge. The staff were delightful and the food absolutely delicious! It was a truly magical experience. The tour guide was very knowledgable and went out of his way to ensure all of us were enjoying our time. Itinerary was clear, and well laid out. Knew what each day entailed. I promise to recommend you to all who plan the safari.

FS do not deliver what promised.They subcontract to the jeep owners who in turn make you a scapegoat
I had specifically booked in July to see the Migration but was very disappointed that the tour operator just takes your money and then he is sub-contracting to the jeep owner who in turn is only trying to cut on his fuel costs and maximise his profit,so in the bargain you are made a scapegoat.
I had opted for a tented accomodation and had specifically asked for the a picture of theinside of the tent where I was shown a tent with a wooden bed inside.Imagine the shock to see a dirtiest mattress with a torn cover given to me in Serengiti and that too on the floor.One should be honest with what one is promising not cheat. I was also charged more than the others in the group.I will not recommend FS to anybody .There are other more honest and less expensive tour operators.

Posted on Jul 30, 2015Dear Raju,
Thank you for this review and sincerely this is our FIRST negative review but i am hereby making it clear as below;
(1) A WOODEN BED IN BASIC CAMPING SAFARI:
We gave you the options for tented camping safari and basic camping safari you chose to book for the basic camping safari (not tented safari). The basic/budget camping safari do not have wooden bed but just only sleeping bags, tent and sleeping mattress. There is no where you said you want to sleep in the tented camp with bed, I hope you understand this clearly.
(2) SERENGETI MIGRATION IN JULY:
Raju, It is well known that July is the best season especially in western Serengeti even here in safaribookings it is mentioned that July is amongst the best months for migration (please click this link to view https://www.safaribookings.com/serengeti/best-time ) but please also note that National parks are not like zoo so the animals can freely move from here to there.
However, i respect your review and thank you very much for taking your time on this.

Great Tanzania safari
We found Fantastic Safaris online and chose them based on other reviews. My experience matched. From first time I emailed, they immediately responded to all emails and answered questions I had as they came up. There was a lot of flexibility to customize the safari (2 nights in tents & 2 nights in tented camp/lodge), pick up from the airport & ride back. Bryce was at airport to get us to Arusha and make sure we were taken care of from the start (even took us to souvenir shop) and then Beno our guide was so knowledgeable about animals and plants and just easy going throughout the trip. They delivered on customer service and price was very good. I definitely recommend Fantastic Safaris as a guide company.

we enjoyed our trip
Fantastic fantastic and fantastic are three words that describe this agency. Our planning process was very very smooth as the agent had excellent knowledge of the region. Our travel agent was always available in the process. Upon arrival we were greeted by well read guides and experienced drivers. They were extremely courteous and informative and went out of the way to make our trip memorable. Each and every transfer was on time and perfect. Hotels recommended were fantastic one of a kind.

This trip was one that I had dreamt about
I booked the 10 days safari including the zanzibar island. This trip was one that I had dreamt about doing for a very long time, and with the incredible assistance of this Fantastic safari company this truly was a trip of a lifetime. Remarkable in every way. Thank you all for a truly fantastic experience.
