Would recommend highly to anyone looking for a safari with a little extra
It was our second time on safari but first time with Lomo, who was recommended via a friend. We looked at half a dozen options and decided to go with this one for the communication, flexibility, spec of accommodation and price. We were with a family of three and two extra adults.
We were collected from the airport, with lovely little surprise gestures to make us feel more welcome.
They helped us plan our itinerary on arrival, made the rooms available for early check ins where possible (prob only poss due to low season), arranged extra requests for grandma’s bday and was always available to every need we had.
We decided to have some shorter days out on safari as we left earlier in the mornings and saw so much action that we had some hours to enjoy the amazing hotels chosen for us before the sun went down. Manyara Secrets was especially amazing, but all the places we stayed were beautiful, authentic, food was great as was the staff.
Have to make a special mention to Philip our driver. It was a joy to have him with us for the week. He always checked in with us to make sure we were enjoying everything. Nothing was too much hassle, our 6 year old bonded with him so much he missed not seeing him the following days.
Amazing safari
We had an amazing 5 day, 4 night safari with Lomo Tanzania Safari from pickup from the airport to the end of the safari. Our guide was courteous and funny. He asked what we wanted to see and made sure that we saw the Big Five. The accommodations and food were great - it was so good to have a hot meal, instead of cold sandwiches. I highly recommended them for a safari and will use them again.

Trip of a lifetime
The whole group at Lomo made sure to give us he most amazing African safari experience I could have ever imagined. Erasto and Ben were our guides and they made sure every detail was perfect every step of the way. Their attention to detail was so on point and it made the world of a difference. We enjoyed their company so much and they had so much knowledge about the animals and our surroundings that we were able to learn so much about everything we were seeing. Because of the experience they provided us I surely plan to go back one day and whenever I do Lomo Tanzania Safari will always be my number one choice!

Extraordinary
Went with LOMO Tanzania Safari within a group of 17 friends. Upon arrival until the end of the safari, it was just an amazing experience. We were great at the airport with a light lunch , hot coffee, tea and chocolate milk. The guides are well experienced, explains a lot about what we are seeing. We ate very well during the safari and the most important thing, nobody got sick during this part of the trip. Extraordinary value for our money. We arrive as clients and return back home as friends.

Simply memorable! Once in a lifetime
Fantastic! Breathtaking landscapes, majestic animals that can be seen a few feet away, but above all, warm, jovial and professional people. We were surprised at the level of knowledge of the Lomo guides. They do three years of university and a six-month internship in the park to become a guide. They are real encyclopedias on the fauna and culture of this magnificent country. Their joie de vivre, their laughter and their smiles will remain in our memories forever.
On the organizational side, everything was on point. Everything is planned to make us live a unique experience like sleeping in camps in the Serengeti Park with wild animals near the tents. Hearing the lion roar near your tent is an unforgettable moment. But don't be afraid, it's safe and the camps are surrounded by lights all night long.
We particularly enjoyed our experience at the Maramboi Tented Lodge. Imagine a plain with zebras, wildebeests, giraffes a few feet from your window, all with a majestic lake in the background. Breathtaking. The hotels and the food are excellent. Dinners on safari days are simple but very good with choices for all tastes including vegetarians. We had hot meals even at noon in the middle of nature and unlimited fruit.
Plan your trips well because these are dirt roads and it's quite rough at times. The distances can be long depending on your choices and it can be quite tiring but this fatigue is largely compensated by what we have seen. So, in summary I highly recommend Lomo. You will not be disappointed.

Well organized and professional!
My favorite moment was the arrival in the Serengeti, these endless plains where the Maasai and their herds of cows and goats rub shoulders with wild animals. But the Tarangire Park with its elephants and baobabs, the Ngorongoro crater where we could see thousands of animals simply by turning our heads did not disappoint me! What beauty in its purest form… What about the director Erasto who is always ready to receive our requests and the hyper-professional team he leads from Arusha. Our guide Pascal had all the answers to our many questions and always answered them with passion and a smile! (in French) We learned a lot of information and we laughed all along the way. You should know before leaving that the roads are long and made up of dirt in the parks, which means that you are entitled to an African massage (as our guide said) and that you eat a little dust (bring a scarf for the mouth). It's part of the adventure. We travel in “Jeeps” where 6 people take place. The accommodation sites are simply magnificent, the staff courteous and attentive. Tanzanians are very “happy” to see tourists and children want to touch us (our skin being different from theirs). The food is excellent with good menu choices that will please all tastes. Hakuna matata! Carefree life with Lomo Tanzania safari Asante sana Erasto and your teams!

Unforgettable Experience
We had such an amazing time in Tanzania with the Lomo team. Erasto and his team are wonderful hosts who go above and beyond to make your experience memorable.
We used Lomo's services for a 5-day safari in the northern circuit (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, lake Manyara). After a smooth and great experience, we also booked another 1-day trip to the Arusha NP a few days later. :)
First, the communication with Erasto before the trip was super smooth. They were very flexible and accommodating to our wishes regarding the itinerary, accommodation, and dietary restrictions. I also appreciated prompt responses, frequent updates, and warmth and care.
We enjoyed our safaris guided by knowledgeable guides who know the ins and outs of the local nature and wildlife. One clear thing that made Lomo stand out from the other safari vehicles and guides around us was the genuine care and respect towards the animals and nature in general - making sure that while we search for the best sights, we're not intruding too much to the personal space of the animals around us (which unfortunately wasn't the case for some other tour operators, sadly). We certainly learned a lot and saw so many beautiful creatures. And yes, we were fortunate to see the BIG FIVE (thanks to our tireless and eagle-eyed guide Adam)! :)
Overall, we felt very well comfortable and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Lomo to others and would certainly opt to partner with their team again during our next trip to Tanzania.
Thank Erasto and the whole Lomo team for an unforgettable experience!

Magical Safari experience!
We highly recommend Lomo Tanzania Safari for their professionalism, principle and friendliness.
David our French-speaking guide and Erasto were wonderful and welcomed us directly as we got off the plane with tea, chocolate, coffee and cakes.
They were really attentive to our needs and our desires, and made a point of honor to our safety.
We spent 7 unforgettable days with them in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks with lots of explanations about animals and plants.
How lucky, the Big 5 were there!
The camps and lodges were superb and the people extremely considerate and kind.
Our 4x4 was equipped with a reserve of drinking water where we could fill the water bottles that were given to us on arrival, to avoid too much plastic waste! Cheer!
For our magnificent picnics in the middle of the parks, the cooler also contained wine, sodas, according to everyone's desires.
During our journey we also discovered the way of life of the inhabitants and learned lots of Swahili words with David.
This trip as well as David and Erasto will remain forever engraved in our memories and in our hearts ❤️

Lomo provided an amazing experience in our private safari tour!!!
Our organizer Erasto was pleasant to deal with, providing us with all the information on our inquiries with details. He worked with us on customizing our 6 day tour to our satisfaction! Our tour guide Saleem had vast information on the locations we visited, the surroundings, vegetation and all the animals from birds to the Big 5, to the Ugly 5 lol. We learned a lot from his extensive knowledge and experience. Our lodging was wonderful and our packed lunches were premium. When visiting the Hadzabe/bushmen and Datoga tribes, our Lomo nature tour guide Joseph was well versed in the dialects so we had the utmost experience from understanding, learning and communication with the tribes which complimented the experience. We were very pleased with our safari tour through Lomo, everything was first-class, highly recommend!

Perfect company
We spent two days in safari with Lomo company. The company was attentive and very kind. They take time to explain everything and ask if we are allergies. I’am very allergic to peanuts and thanks to them I spent a safari day very confident.
The food and the lodge was great. They took take for a breefing before the safari. They picked us at our hotel and drop us at our hotel too ay the end.
It’s a serious and very nice company. I recommend 100%.
Thank you again ☺️
