Ngorongoro was amazing!
I attended 2 nights 3 days safari tour by myself
Good:
Ngorongoro was amazing! Like a heaven for animals.
I could see all the big 5 and many child animals. They were so cute! and could have a good sleep in an “igloo” but not a tent.
Bad:
Originally I asked a tour in Serengeti and Ngorongoro but they could not arrange it on the date I was available. Their alternative offer was 3 days tour in Ngorongoro, lake manyara and Tarangire. I think it was good enough for only one day tour in Ngorongoro because I could see most of the animals there and the rests were much boring.
Other things were: first day, they forgot to prepare my lunch box so I had no lunch. Also every day they arranged different people to share the safari car and when I arrived, the rests were already in the car and I always had to sat in the back sheet so I could not hear what the guide was telling well.

Best tour operator
We went to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with a tour guide and a chef.
We could enjoy the tour because they were very bright and polite, and easy to communicate.
The tour guide's skill to find animals in safari was amazing(sometimes it was very difficult even we use binocular).
The chef prepared us splendid dinner with full of hospitality.
Thanks and we surely recommend Kilimanjaro Vikings to our friends.

Amazing Safari 3 days 2 nights!!!
In three days,
we have been to tarangire national park, NgoroNgoro national park, Lake Manyara national park by private car.
We had never observed animals closely and carefully in our life.
You can meet the big five and a lot of flamingos.
We have caught unforgettable memories.
Thank you for giving us precious time.

I really enjoy!
I'm a Japanese volunteer living in Tanzania. My friends came to see me from Japan in September 2015, so we went to Ngorongoro and Serengeti for safari for 3days. I talked with Charlie about our request in advance and he perfectly organized our safari as we had expected. We enjoyed it so much.
I asked him to give us pick-up and drop-off services between Kilimanjaro airport and Moshi just few days before our safari, but he willingly accepted them. The driver picked us up on time.
In our 3day safari, one tire of our vehicle bursted but our staff (one guide and one chef) worked hard for us. Their work made us relieved so much that we're NOT familiar with outdoor activity.
I advise you to ask your guide about the detail itinerary as he didn't mention to us so much. But he explained everything we asked. And his enough knowledge about nature, wildlife and the national parks surprised us so much. He could find animals so fast!
We three all totally enjoyed the safari with Kilimanjaro Vikings! We strongly recommend you reading my review Kilimanjaro Vikings:-)
Asante sana, Charlie.

I experienced a great trip for a fair price.
The communication with our tour guide was simple and good, he knows good english. The accomodation was simple, clean and enjoyable. On the safari tour our guide asked for our wishes and always knew where to go for seeing animals.

Great 3 day safari
Following our climb up Kilimanjaro with another Company, we decided to do a 3 day, 2 night safari with Kili vikings, visiting Tarangire national park, Lake Manyara national park and Ngorogoro crater reservation area. We met Charlie in Moshi the day before the safari to settle payment and sort details. Charlie was very nice and informative, and lead us through our options for the safari since the group we were meant to go with from Moshi had cancelled. In the end we joined a couple going from Arusha, and had to pay an additional $50 to get to the airport after the safari which had previously been included in the price. We also had to pay an extra 5% to pay by card, which hadn't been mentioned in our email correspondence. So we were slightly disappointed by these extra fees, but paid them, tried to forget about them and looked forward to the safari!
On safari we had a great time and saw a huge array of wildlife. We stayed in small huts in the evening near lake Manyara at a site called panorama camp, which had excellent views. We left our bags there during the days. The hot food provided in evenings and for breakfast was good. The packed lunches could have been slightly better, but in such great surroundings it was difficult to be unhappy. Our driver was very well informed and didn't struggle with any of our questions. His English was also very good. Our only criticism was that we often had to ask questions to get information from him, rather than him offering it voluntarily. The safari car was in decent shape with new seats and water was provided throughout the trip. Each day we did a full day safari, with our driver being very good at spotting animals, as well as listening to the radio to track down the more rare sights. Highlights included cheetahs, Lions (metres away from our vehicles), Elephants and Rhinos.
After the safari we were dropped at the airport in good time to catch our flight home. Overall we had a great time, and were very close to giving a 5 star score, but felt like the experience did have room for improvement, if only slightly.

Exellent
The 3-days Tour was provided by Kilimanjaroi Vikings. A little scary in the beginning the voyage turned to be very nice on its way further. We started from visit to Kilimanjaro view place. That was good and quality hotel. Personnel was friendly and responsive. That's where we met with manager, reciedved instuctions about upcoming days and paid all cash in advance. Untill morning I was fighting a thought of being played. In the morning next day a driver and the manager showed up and all my worries disappeared. Vehicle was good (Land Cruiser) and the driver looked professional In his credit he'd already prepared water and mealboxes. So, within next 3 days we visited Taranguire NP, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara NP. We stayed in good hotels with good meals and personnel. Especially good was Ngorongoro Farm House. That place was mindblowing, just must-see one. The driver was just good in giving the tour information organizing meal. despite the drive was quite long we totally forgot about any inconveniance. Bottomline: I totally recommed Kilimnanjaro Vikings for Safari Tours.

A wonderful journey
Although it was my first safari in my life, I was able to do a very wonderful experience.
Exclusive cock, skilled guide and beautiful scenery and animals welcomed us.
On this tour we were able to see all safari BIG 5 [Elephant, Lion, Buffalo, Panther, Sai].
Also We were able to meet lucky things with Cheetah.
Safari at this time is a small rainy season, and there are many herbivorous animals.
Therefore, it is recommended because you can see lots of carnivores!
Also, although Tanzania is in the summer, a very pleasant wind is blowing and it was very comfortable.
The views of Serengeti and Ngorongoro are very beautiful.
On this trip I felt that I felt the majesty of nature with my own skin and I was touched very much.
Please give it a try.

Perfect Safari Tour! Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro 3N/4D
I had a great experience on each day.
We traveled with a driver/guide and a cook.
They were very experienced and friendly.
Thanks to Louis (Driver/Guide), we could see so many animals.
We found a rhino in Serengeti and many cars followed a rhino.
Louis decided to stop following the rhino so that we can find lions.
After that, we found many adult lions and their babies eating a buffalo.
We could see them very close so we could even feel the smell.
Thanks to Jimmy (Cook) , we enjoyed delicious food every day.
I will never forget that moment we had a breakfast in from of many zebras.
Highly recommended Company!!!!
