A positive, memorble experience of a lifetime awaits you with Charles Benjamin's skillful guidance.
Charles Benjamin is a superb guide. He knows where to find wildlife, has great informative insights, and a great personality--which is a great asset when you are together for a multi-day safari. We had a spectacular experience of a lifetime, seeing every wild animal we imagined we might see with Charles's insightful leadership on a 7-day safari. We stayed in luxury tents, with bed, western toilet, showers and cooked high-quality meals. The leopard, cheetahs, and hippos were most memorable. The rich array of birds Charles pointed out to us in Serengeti was also a treat. The rough roads were made bearable with his competent driving skills and underlined the fact you are in East Africa, removed from your normal world, experiencing the majesty of a sanctuary for wildlife. Charles's communication skills, responsiveness and willingness to accommodate our interests were essential elements in making each day of this memorable week a true, unique treat. We highly recommend him to anyone seeking a personalized experience seeing bountiful wildlife with competent commentary.

They offer just the best experience you can get in Tansania.
We had a great time on our seven day Safari, including Arusha NP, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Because of Charles‘ great experience we were able to see a lot of animals really close.
Our favourite meal right now is Pilau rice because before, during and after our exciting days we got these great meals from our cook Herman, including African dishes. It was just delicious.
The internship Edward was also really nice.
The team is always really helpful, nice, funny and worried about your well-being.
We definitely recommend to book with Safari Trackers Adventures, also if you want to do a trip to Zanzibar, Dar Es Salaam or any other place in the country.
Hakuna matata!

Four day safari with Safari Trackers Adventure
I did a four day safari over March/April 2014 with Charles from Safari Trackers Adventure and loved every minute! After organising transfers from the airport I was offered optional activites for the day before my safari if I wanted something to do. We visited Tarangire national park, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. I stayed in lodges along the way and all were quite reasonable, with the lodge in the Seregeti being an absolute highlight - I only wish I had more time to enjoy it! Charles was professional, courteous and keen to show us everything we wanted to see in the parks. Charles also knew a great deal about the different animals, so we learnt a lot as well! The trip I purchased was good value and all inclusive, and while I was nervous about transferring money internationally for a deposit, I am pleased to say I no problems whatsoever :) I found it so hard to choose a safari operator in Tanzania, but am certainly happy I made the decision to travel with Safari Trackers Adventure! We saw the big 5 plus much more and if you're interested in seeing some of my safari shots, you can do so on Instagram by searching for "leahrobrien"

It was just AWESOME!!
The Safari:
After we had arrived in Arusha, Charles picked us up and took us to our hotel. We did the 7-days safari including Arusha NP, Lake Manyara NP, Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro Crater, and of course Serengeti NP. We had a wonderful time and got really impressed by the sheer number of animals we have seen and the incredible and overwhelming scenery.
Things not to forget:
- Binoculars. Although most of the time, there were animals even right next to our car, you might become curios about things in the distance, too.
- Warm clothes for colder days. Especially the crater can become a bit chilliy once in a while + long sleeves/pants is a natural mosquito protection. For me one hoody and one pair of cargo pants was enough.
- Malaria prophylaxis. You don't want to be worried and put yourself on the line.
- Water purifying pills. Although you get enough bottled drinking water during the safari, eventually you might be glad to have some in addition.
- Enough money for tips ;)
In addition:
Since we didn't have a good start in Tanzania which lead to temporary complications, Charles was more than helpful and sympathetic! He and his team - the excellent cook Herman and the always helping trainee Edwin - have made our trip unforgettable! They helped us out whenever they could and made us feel welcome and to be amongst friends.
I recommend them
I had a good experience with Safari Trackers. Got great pics of different animals in their natural habitat. I was lucky to get to witness the wildebeest crossing Mara River. My guide Charles knew all yhe good spots for animal viewing. Would definitely recommend them to anyone visiting Tanzania for safari experience.

Amazing tour with experienced driver.
Great two day trip in Tarangire Park and Ngorongoro Crater. We had excellent driver with decades of experience in the field. Night stay in Lake Manyara camp site was pure luxury in the middle of nature.

Good safari company experience!
Safari Trackers Adventure is a safari company located in Tanzania. We booked with them the trip to Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire Park. They delivered as arranged (they use sub-contractors) and everything went well! Communication with Charles was on point.

Best experience of wild life
We've spent 3 great days on Safari in Serenegeti and Ngoro-ngoro!
Saw all the animals from Big five (elephant, rhinos, leopards, lions, buffaloes) and a lot of others: giraffes, zebras, monkeys, hippopotamus, wildebeests, heartbeats, etc...
It was days full of imprecations!
Also want to recommend our driver Josh, as the best one! He know everything about all the animals, and there was no question, which he couldn't answer))
Organization is good! Really! We were late to our flight to Kilimanjaro and so miss start of Safari, but everything was solved by our great organizator))
Our final resume - if you want to have great experience- go with Trackers Adventures!

Excellent Service and price offers.
Me and my friend have traveled in some East African countries but never had the best service like what we got from Safari Trackers Adventure.
All the arrangements were good and the prices also was reasonable and affordable.
Charles (the Safari Organizer) was very helpful to us, He gave us other more advises according to our budget and time since he asked us about our interests and our budgets he gave us a very good Itinerary.
Excellent Service
