But the animals was not many
3/5

Over 4 days our group (6 people) visited 3 national parks of Tanzania: Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire. I spent the night at the Lodge, and others in tents. I recommend to spend the night at the Lodge is slightly more expensive, but very convenient. More just like Ngorongoro. Tarangire is between Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. In Tarangire a lot of elephants. In the Serengeti the animals were not much. 4 day Safari for me was worth 900$. It is expensive. The driver was not very good: the road was driving not very confident, Not always stayed near the animals, he said himself the amount that I should give tips for him. Couldn't care less about tourists. The food was good. The accommodation was good. But a whole tour like 4. But the animals was not many.

Great hassle-free experience
5/5

I went with my girlfriend to a 2 and half days safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Swahili tours, and words cannot describe how much of an amazing experience it was.

Mr. Jimmy was very helpful through the whole booking process, he helped us get the flights, hotels and the taxi transfers without any extra charges. He also was in permanent contact with us to make sure everything is going well.

The safari itself was just perfect. Our driver Johnathan was very professional informative. He knew every detail about the animals and the environment. I am a curious person who likes to ask questions about everything. And Johnathan answered all my questions gladly.

We also had a good cook (William) who accommodated my girlfriend's vegetarian needs and cooked extra for us when we asked him to do so.

Both the cook and the driver spoke great English.

The tents and covers were clean. But I advise people to take thick clothes because it does get very cold at night.

During the Safari we were provided with many water bottles, so we never felt thirsty.
We managed to see so many animals (except rhinos), and we stopped in a Masai village where we got to see how they lived and met the children in their school.

Unlike what people say, we didn't have any issue with tipping. We tipped whatever we wanted, and the guys did not even check how much we gave. They just put it straight in their pockets and thanked us.

We will, without a doubt, use Swahili's services in our next expeditions in Africa.

Thank you!

Good safari for a good price
4/5

I booked a 3 days/2 nights safari and it was really worth it. Got to see all of the Big 5 and a couple of cheetas. We camped in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The tents were a little bit smelly and wet. A cook joined us to prepare all the meals and did a wonderful job. The guides could make some effort to improve their English and provide more explanations regarding the animals and their habitat during the safari.

We had a really good experience with Swahili Paradise Tours. They were very supportive and attentive in every moment. We climbed the Kilimanjaro and after that we went to Zanzibar. Our contact person was Jimmy and he was very kind and professional.

5/5

Concerning myself, I had a wonderful experience with this agency.
The driver Clémence, always very punctual, warm, careful driving, attentive and smiling, I was alone in the taxi from Dar el Salam to Mikumi.
On the spot my guide was Jacob, perfect English and very professional, I learned a lot of things about the animals of the park, the birds, he is passionate about his job. I was alone in the jeep, great private safari!
I was staying at Camp Bastian, very clean, very helpful staff and all-you-can-eat buffet meals.
Visit of the very authentic Masai village, I expected a tourist trap but not at all. I was alone with a whole family to discuss their culture and way of life, fascinating.
I spent 3 unforgettable days, I thank Jimmy and his team for their professionalism and availability.
I highly recommend them, I saw lots of animals very closely, I was well accommodated, unbeatable value for money!

Excellent experience
5/5

Jimmy was an quick and great communicator while we were planing our trip. He answered questions quickly. He did an excellent job organizing and guiding a wonderful trip to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. The driver, Moses was very knowledgeable about the animals and knew exactly where to go to find the animals during our safari. The cook, Abdul, made food that was filling, tasty and delicious. We were very pleased with Swahili Paradise Tours!
