Once in a lifetime experience
Thanks to Caracal Tours and Safaris our stay in Tanzania became a once in a lifetime experience. The parcs we visited were of a stunning beauty, especially the Ngorongoro Crater. We not only saw the Big 5, but also a great variety of other animals. Ben was a very knowledgable, reliable and careful guide and driver. We enjoyed having lunch and dinner with him in the lodges and hear about Tanzania and share his view on the developments in this wonderful country.

More than driving
If you are looking to make a Safari, you have to make a difference between "Driving" and "Guiding".
Ben, the owner, is an amazing guide ! I know most of the animals, and he know where to they are.
I love Lion and others felines. Ben, always found them. Not from far, but very close. I remember one of the last day in Serengeti, we got to be at 2meters (6ft) of a beautiful - amazing Cheetah.
It is very rare to be that close of the animals, and we were the only car !
Of course some time, we "fight" with other car. But Ben with is professionalism always found a spot, an access, an angle.
With my different experience with them, I can see how they adapt the way they work to your need and to your expectation. As a Photographer, my approach is not the same than other customers. Ben have totally understand my need, and my wish. After the two first day our relation become very strong, and Ben have always give me the "place" to make my pictures.
And what about them ? Outside the Safari ? Caracal is a family running business. And I believe that we are now a part of their family. They are easy on going person, always happy, and open to speak.
A reference !
I can not wait to go back in the trail with them.

Great all-round and last-minute camping safari
Last September we decided we wanted to go on a last-minute safari. We found a great one with lodges with another tour-operator, when Marjon from Caracal emailed me with an offer we couldn't refuse; A three day safari with tents. No lodges, no big tented camps, just small iglo tents on a campsite. As I had already experienced that my preference goes out to these kinds of safari's the choice was an easy one, we chose Caracal! We were picked up by one of the owners of the company and handed over to our very good guide, Max. Max did a very great job in making the trip "holistic". Of course we excited to see the big five (and so we did), but Max also teached us a lot about the less popular flora and fauna of the different national and conservation parks we visited. Along the way we saw many bored safari guides who just pointed out the umpteenth Simba or Tembo, but Max showed us the whole ecosystem, and every one of them with great energy and cute little anecdotes! Best. Safariguide. Ever.
Afterwards, Max dropped us of near Kilimanjaro. What a service!
