Reviews
Open Africa Safaris trip to Serengeti was simply the best guided wildlife adventure tour I have been
Tony Milinga was our driver and guide for the entire 7 day Sergenti trip. He was excellent ! His communications, his service were outstanding. He took care of us very well. He made sure our stay and trip was most comfortable and we had vegetarian food throughout the trip. He showed us the best game, saw all the animals, some in action and got to see all the big five. He was patient, friendly and provided great customer service. He made our trip memorable. John William, the sales manager gave us all the info to get ready for the trip. Accommodations were excellent and service was great ! My family and I recommend Open Africa Safaris to all who want to see the great Serengeti park because it is a once in a life time experience to see so many animals in 1 park.

An absolute pleasure to deal with
Having just spent an incredible week on safari in Tanzania I would like to give special mention to John Williams and his entire OpenAfricaSafaris team. It was my first time visiting Tanzania so I was a little apprehensive before hand, this was unnecessary as John had every detail covered. I would highly recommend Tanzania for an unforgettable experience.
We saw all the animals and birds that one hopes for when they go on safari but Tanzania has much more than animals. The landscapes are breath taking and the people are a joy to meet.

Exceeded all expectations
We had a fantastic holiday with Open Africa Safaris, far exceeding our expectations. They provided a tailor made itinerary to fit our travel dates, and went out of their way to make the holiday a success. Our safari guide was very skilled at finding and spotting animals, taking us away from the crowds, and we had some amazing close encounters.
We had a great safari and really enjoyed our 6 day trip
Our Safari was a once in a lifetime experience! We hat 6 wonderful days together with a nice Group, a very friendly cook and an awesome Driver (Shabani!). The communication with John before, during and after the Safari was always perfect. We can only recommend this great experience to everyone. The only negative Points were the bit older tents & sleeping bags, our Toyota Landcruiser was good but I guess it had some engine Problems (was very weak uphill).

Really wonderful, exceeded expectations
The safari tour was really magical, to see so many animals and a fascinating new culture. The tour guides and overall experience was also very positive. The company gave good attention from start to finish and enabled me to get the most out of my two days there. I especially appreciate it when having booked on such short notice.

Differentiating themselves with the quality and relationships of their tour guides.
My husband and I used OpenSafari tours based on a recommendation from friends that had used their services for the Serengeti Safari adventures in 2016 and of course they spoke very highly of their experience.
Needless also to say that I would not be writing this review if we were not thoroughly satisfied with the service ourselves. From the patient and persistent follow-ups in getting all the registration and paperwork in order prior to our departure from the US ( mostly on account of my being a slacker) to ensuring his brother and a driver met us at the airport upon our arrival at Moshi at 9:00pm local time, John did an excellent job of facilitating it all!
His two guides Ombeni and Brighton were honest, experienced in their trade and very transparent from the very first to our final day of the 6-day Marangu route trek up to Uhuru. They were also probably a huge part of why my husband despite his cumulative sleep deprivation, made it up to Gilman's point! Knowing when to motivate and knowing when to ease off on the day of the summit attempt made all the difference. They also went above and beyond in advising us on the 'about town things-to-do', tourist traps to watch out for and made for some wonderful conversational company on the state of the Tanzanian economy to keep time clocking by during the hike.
Overall, both my husband were very satisfied with our end-to-end experience. Couldn't have asked for more for my milestone birthday celebration!
