Memorable experience
My girlfriend and I found Backpackers Safaris friendly and very congenial. Our tour guide Anthony and the cooker Ben were very instructive and helpful. The hotels were clean, comfortable and served hot breakfast within our limited budget. We had seen what we expected to see in Africa. We will certainly recommend this tour to our friends.(:

Awesome last minute climb and safari!
I arrived in Tanzania from another African country without having organized anything, but Walter made it easy for me and I was able to join a group for both a safari and Kili climb at the last minute. The guides were very professional and we got lots of information about the animals. The food was awesome (I was impressed!). Kili is a one in a lifetime experience, not to be missed. I was very well taken care of on the mountain, the guides were encouraging but not overly pushy. I really enjoyed the organization and I highly recommend this company

AMAING BACKPACKERS SAFARIS EXPERIENCE
Backpackers is your trusted safari partner in-case you care about remote and local travels. They are personalized and detailed as they are in touch with both local community and service providers. The drives, treks and stopovers in company of experienced tour-guides is breathtaking!

Best memories of my life
I am happy to reply with feedback on the really fantastic trip we took at the end of May in 2015.
The tour operator did a professional job from beginning to end. We were met as planned at every juncture.
Our agent (Walter) was helpful all along the way during the planning. Our guide (Antonio) quickly became friends to us. He was knowledgeable and professional. I am recommending them to friends at this time, and strongly suggesting they ask for the same guide.
We toured a different park in Tanzania each day, and slept in a different lodge each night. The accommodations and the food were excellent. We saw all the big five as well, which is rare for a first trip.
All in all, it was a perfect trip

A fabulous experience. I would definitely recommend you to be with them.

Good way to guarantee seeing animals
Communication is fast even if you are last-minute. You will be picked up from where you stay in Arusha. No last minute price changes on their part. The guide listens to the specific animals you want to see and tries his best to ensure you see them.

Its very wonderful to know about the backpackers safaris and would like plan to visit the best places and do the best business. Thanks

A life time experience of wild life in its natural habitat.
I went along with my two child hood friends and Mr Walter received us at the Kilimanjaro airport. From then on we were kept at ease and comfort by the Backpackers safari people. we visited Lake Manyara national park, Serengetti national park and Ngorongoro crater. We had a wonderful time watching wild life and our tour guide is a senior and experienced person and explained the life and behavioral aspects of animals. We had pleasant stay in the hotels and camps as well. We are planning another trip during the July-August period and I prefer Backpackers Safari for this trip also.

Amazing 4 day safari with a great guide.
4 days of safari, staying in tents with catering, so it was simple, but that's what we wanted. Added benefit was buffalos coming to the camp of Ngorongoro to graze at night. Magical.
Our guide (nicknamed China) was absolutely amazing, spoke good English, explained everything very well and made sure we saw all the animals. Tarangire was packed with animals, Serengeti vast, quiet and magical with beasts (be sure to wake up early and watch the sunrise with animals!), Ngorongoro wet and cold (pack really warm clothes) but stunning with infinite herds of zebras, wilderbeasts and buffallos. We even got to see a pack of lions hunting. I was pleasantly surprised with the visit of Masaai village, which didn't really feel like a circus for tourists as I originally expected.
I had the best time of my life.
