Fantastic Honeymoon!
5/5

Jeff of Avocet Safaris set up an unforgettable honeymoon for my husband and I last summer. He arranged all of the transport, accommodations, safari, Kilimanjaro trek (with a private guide, cooks and porters) and connected us with another great company for our Zanzibar trip. After doing a lot of research, and getting a personal recommendation from a friend of a friend here in California, we booked with Avocet because they were reliable, responsive, and more reasonable than the other tours we looked at. Also, on the way into Tanzania our bags were delayed, and Jeff found them and had them delivered to us! Superb service, and a great value.

Amazing Safari Adventure!
5/5

We had a four day safari that took us to Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. We saw tons of animals including lots of babies. Our safari guide, Dickson, picked us up from the airport in Kilamanjaro and took us the airport in Arusha when we departed. He was a great guide, very knowledgeable, polite, funny and made us feel really comfortable. He was also incredible at spotting animals. Our accommodations were beautiful and the food was excellent. Jeff, the tour operator for Avocet, was very friendly and prompt in responding to emails and questions. He even met us at the airport when we were leaving Arusha to say goodbye and make sure that we had a good time. Our safari experience was perfect! We would not have changed a thing. We would absolutely recommend Avocet. If we are lucky enough to go on a safari again, we will choose Avocet and request Dickson to be our guide!

4 Day Safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater
5/5

My partner and I were very lucky to have had such a wonderful and memorable experience with Avocet, despite some passengers who did not bring an appropriate level of courtesy and respect for the experience.

Our driver and chef made for a really great experience - they were friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to answer questions about the things we saw or would expect to see.

Very nice, pleasant and perfectly organised 4 days safari with Avocet Tanzania Safaris
5/5

We made a 4 days safari with 3 people in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngoro-Ngoro beginn of April 2016 and enjoyed Avocet Tanzania Safaris' services. Avocet was very responsive from the first contact and perfectly organized the safari, including transfer from/to Dar es Salam and thanks to our friendly and competent guide Peter we made a pleasant safari and enjoyed all highlights despite the relatively short duration.

Best personalised safari experience
5/5

We went with Avocet Safaris as they provided a personalised itinerary based on what we liked and wanted to visit. This is something that was really important to us. They were also really flexible. It was a two-way communication approach instead of a company stuffing a package to us.
Jeff, the MD, is also really kind and took care of us since Day 1.

The price is reasonable, the food is amazing, the tour guide is knowledgable but most importantly, the experience was authentic yet safe. Thank you Jeff for everything. We hope to return soon.

Avocet were very responsive and accommodating with our specific requests and needs.
5/5

Communication with Avocet was mostly through email, and their response was always very prompt. We specified our requirements and they tried their best to cater accordingly. The game drives were wonderful, more so because of the enthusiastic drivers/ guides. We had requested moderately comfortable accommodation, not basic or luxury, and we were provided exactly that. Overall our experience was wonderful, and I would recommend Avocet to others.

Over and Above Expectations
5/5

We used Avocet for our safaris in Feb, 2017 and they were fantastic! We went to Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro, the entire experience was incredible! Our guide was great and the owner, Jeff, went above and beyond expectations to take care of us. I accidentally left a shirt in a vehicle and he was able to track it down and had a man meet me at the airport to get it back, I was very thankful for this! We highly recommend Avocet!!!

Fantasitc, start to finish
5/5

I can't recommend Avocet enough, from start to finish we were looked after brilliantly. Out driver/Guide edgar was top class, as was our cook Hadji - no complaints at all about the food, it was fantastic. Edgar went to great lengths to make sure we got to see all of the 'BIG 5' - I cant find fault with any of the trip or Avocet - 5 stars....
