The Most Perfect Safari Experience
5/5

I did a 5 day Budget Camping Safari in the Serengeti, Lake Manyara and ngorongoro crater with Avocet. I don't want to mislead anyone by pumping up expectations but this was by far the best safari I have ever gone on (and I've been on a lot). I think the time of year I went was part of it, it was before the rainy season but it wasnt dry so the grass was green and short enough to see animals, it was also not super super hot out which means the animals were active and walking around, there were hardly any other tourists around. The main thing though, was our driver/guide Oze (ask for him if you can) was by far the coolest and best guide I've ever had. He really went way out of his way to make sure we saw what we wanted. The whole time I was very vocal about caring most about cheetahs and he was chasing them down for us. He was super knowledgeable and great to hang out with for a week and just overall a great guy. He had eagle eyes and was spotting leopards half a kilometer away in a tree. Three of the days were in the Seregenti and this is what we saw in total-
56 Lions, 9 Cheetahs, FOUR leopards, FOUR Rhinos, and too many of everything else to count.

The whole experience thru Avocet was perfectly organized and ran like clockwork. Jeff who was my point of contact was very in touch and easy to get a hold of, and he greeted me at my hotel and saw me off at the end to make sure I was happy. The campsite was for real camping, no fences, nothing, you literally sleep in the middle of the serengeti, at night Zebras, Buffalo and Elephants may pay you a visit! The Landcruiser we were in was so cool and rugged, it was a real authentic African Safari experience. You literally couldn't pay thousands of dollars more and have a better experience, this was as good as it gets!!!!

Booked a 2 day Safari with Avocet this past January. Jeff was very professional and made sure the booking went smoothly with everything involved during the Safari. I highly recommend Avocet Tanzania Safaris!

2 days safara Lake Manyara and Ngorogoro Crater
5/5

All went very well from the pick up at the airport (Jeff made our schedule very easy despite our last minute change) until the end of the safari. Car was comfortable, guides were friendly and experienced. Food was good and accommodation (camping) was much higher than our expectations (private tent with own bathroom, mosquito net...). The national parks are amazing and the driver/guide was able to drive us very close to wild animals, always ensuring our security at the same time.
I definitely recommend Avocet Tanzania Safaris for safari tours as it is great value for money.
Thank you very much

My Avocet Safari was truly a great deal.
5/5

I booked through Mohji.com and the Safari was through Avocet. I've been all over the world with many tour companies and Avocet was one of the best I've experienced. The owner Jeff is very personable and professional. He went out of his way to help with any questions I had. He even bought me a beer after the safari was over and dropped me and another client off at a local restaurant for dinner in Arusha. What more could I ask for? The safari itself was truly great. I highly recommend going to the Serengeti/Ngorongoro. You will never forget it! Avocet included transport to and from the airport, and a nice clean basic hotel room before and after the safari. Go for it!

Avocet stars was amazing from start to finish .
5/5

Everything i expected and more beginning with a personal pickup from the airport which was essential after a long flight . Also had great communication with jeff before coming out feeling safe and reliable about choosing avocet . 6 day safari is life changing . We had an amazing guide and driver who was well informed on all the different animals and species each national park had . never been so close to a lion and felt safe before doing this safari . Hope to climb kilimjaro soon and feel confident in avocet to assist me in this future journey of mine .

What a great and pleasant experience!
5/5

So, I always wanted to visit the Serengeti but priced were always off my budget. Until I found this opportunity with avocet. To be honest, I was worried with the quality of the Safari for that price, but let me be clear with this: it was great. Of course I bought the camping option and I'm used to it, but the great and personal treatments from Jeff from the moment we set foot in Tanzania until we left was amazing. Definitely coming back and will use their agency.

5/5

I booked 6 days safari in Tanzania (Lake-Manyara-National-Park, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire Park). Everything went according to the schedule.

We have visited all the parks and what is the most important, we saw the big five because our guide was very keen on it. He made us careful on a lot of animals and told us much about them.

I would book it any time again!

5/5

We had three perfect safari days. First with Peter in Manyara, he told us a lot about all the birds. And the other two days with Mike in the crater and Tarangyre. He made all the efforts to show us so many different animals. And when the safari was over he made even more efforts to drop all the guests at there different, almost unfindable adresses. Staying optimistic and friendly all the time. It was a super first safari experience with Avocet for me and my daughter!
