The review below is the personal opinion of aude and not that of SafariBookings.
Definitely not to recommend
1/5

Following all the good reviews, i choosed dusty road safari and asked for Jeff as a guide.
He has been careless, had offhand remarks that made me feel really unconfortable for 3 days.
He was eager to finish the tour, rushed me to leave the park for the airport , where we have been 2 hours before expected time.
Horrible experience.

Outstanding Kilimanjaro and Safari tour. Pole Pole all the way!
5/5

My fiance and I recently climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and completed 7 days safari with Dusty Roads Tours after the climb. They were an excellent company from start to finish. We had a fabulous time on the mountain with an outstanding porter team and two wonderful guides. We hit a terrible blizzard on our ascent day/night and we would not have made it to the summit without them! Many climbers did not make the summit that day. The food was excellent during our hiking tour and the service, camping gear, and tents were top notch.

After the mountain, we enjoyed safaris in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Jeff was our guide and was an excellent driver and outstanding safari guide. He was incredible in how he could spot so many animals from such a distance. I know why he has earned the name "eagle eye!" He was also so knowledgeable about all other animals which was wonderful for us to learn about their behaviors and habitats. We had such a fantastic week with him and we highly recommend him as a guide and driver.

We loved our time in Tanzania from start to finish and we cannot wait to come back again with Dusty Roads.

An amazing experience which I plan to repeat!
5/5

Everything was well organized, punctual and for a fair price. Jeff, our driver, was good and knowledgeable about animals, birds and plants. We had the chance to see 4 of the big five and, this thanks to the good eyes of Jeff. We appreciated that our vehicle was always keeping a respectful distance from the animals.
Vehicle clean and in good condition, we always felt safe.
Thank you for making our first experience in Tanzania a pleasant and memorable one!

Great team got me up Kilimanjaro
5/5

An amazing team of porters, a cook and a guide (Abdul) supported me in my journey up Kilimanjaro. Abdul was very informative - initially meeting me at the hotel and making sure I had the right gear, and then always making sure I was prepared for the next days hike while on the mountain. He was knowledgeable about Tanzania too and told me stories of the different tribes who make up the country. The rest of the team were supportive and friendly. I left feeling I had gotten more than my money's worth and would totally recommend these guys - they went above and beyond at each step to make me feel welcomed.

The overall arrangement is satisfactory
5/5

The whole trip was very smooth, the guide took us to see a good scenery, but also very lucky to see a lot of animals, took a lot of good-looking photos. The guide was very nice and we had a nice chat.

Unbeatable overall experience
5/5

This 14-day trip was my fifth safari with Dusty Roads, with Geoff as my guide for each one, and each time is better than the previous. Dusty Roads has “default” accommodations for certain locations that I enjoy, and I trust their suggestions for other locations. They can also suggest a variety of activities (which I have used on other trips) such as hot air balloons (Serengeti), night game drive (Tarangire), aerial walkway (Lake Manyara), and cultural visits (Maasai, Hadzabe, Datoga).
Geoff can spot animals with the naked eye that I have trouble seeing with binoculars, and he knows my interests so well by now that, for instance, he pointed out a sycamore fig tree growing on the trunk of an acacia (just because it is unusual), and will stop for anything from an elephant to a butterfly. The highlights included a hyena den with two very young pups; a serval cat; a hyena struggling to keeps its gazelle carcass away from two jackals and a horde of vultures; and a herd of wildebeest and zebras in eastern Serengeti that was in the tens of thousands. Also MANY lions, several leopards, half a dozen cheetahs, a big Nile monitor lizard, and the expected countless elephants and other animals large and small.
All in all, a wonderful trip. I will be going back for more.

Trip to Ngorongoro Crater
5/5

We were absolutely and fully satisfied with the service. Our son, living in Arusha, made the arrangements. We had two nights in a very satisfactory but not over-the-top Tanzanian-owned and managed tourist hotel in Karatu town, a day tour of Ngorongoro, and transport from Karutu to, in, and from the park. The package was very affordable despite the reputation for Tanzanian park tours being expensive, and Kudu Lodge was everything we could have needed.

Brilliant from start to finish
5/5

The staff knowledge and care for your well being was amazing. Really excellent trip. Saw the big 5, close up to so many animals The skill of the driver to get us close and find them was second to none. The food the chief made was brilliant. Had a great time and would recommend to anyone.

Great Value Mid Range Safari Experience
4/5

We travelled with a group with Dusty Roads to Tarangire National Park for just a single night. Our driver was fantastic and very safe on the open roads heading out to the park (not always the case with some operators). On arriving at the park the staff quickly offloaded the camping gear and then while we went on a game drive they set everything up for us. We chose the option of camping which was a great experience. The food was great and the tents were just perfect for a real in the bush camping experience. A big thanks to Mollel for organising everything. A very enjoyable and stress free trip.

It was exciting , educational and fun. Imagine getting to sleep among elephants!
5/5

On our trip we got to experience the safari, good food which was cooked by our own chef! The pancakes were a favorite :) We got to camp above the Simba- park. That night we got to experience what it was like to have the savanna outside of our tent! Among other things, we were visited by elephants, and we heard the lions hunt! An experience I think about often! We strongly recommend our experience with Dusty Roads!
