A Journey of A Lifetime!
There are no words for how AMAZING this company is, their attention to personalized detail, the timeliness of their communications, the quality of their service and their genuine desire to showcase the very best of Tanzania. If anyone is interested in making the trip to the land of Hakuna Matata (“no worries”), look no further than Lomo Tanzania Safari. They absolutely live up to their tagline - a journey that changes lives - from yours to the lives of the children they help to support (a portion of your purchase supports a local orphanage). From work to play (I had to do both) and every kind of safari possible (animal/cultural/night/canoe/tree top/hot air balloon and more), we were amazed by the incredible value of this experience. And as someone who has worked in the business of travel and hospitality for over 20 years, I know a great product is a when I experience it!
Asante sana (thank you so much) to Eratso, Hellen, Matilda, Alan and the very best safari guide in Tanzania - Salim Mgonja - for a truly life-changing experience. You guys are incredible and really know what it means to be hospitable! We will forever be grateful!

Professional but with a warm and loving smile: Lomo was great. A lovely welcome with sparkling wine and a snack at the airport, a good and elaborate lunch during the tour, a committed and kind guide: a very warm atmosphere. Any time!

Magic! It was an incredible moment !
We have been welcome by Erasto, and David our guide during the safari, at the airport, with a big welcome lunch. And all the trip has been made with this feeling, we felt very welcome, all the staff of Lomo listened to us and nothing was left to chance.
We went to the park of Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti, and all of the safaris were magic. David is an incredible guide and personn, speaking very well french and a peacefull mindset. We were so lucky to share this trip with him. He gave us many information about the country, traditions, animals and nature.
All the hotels were perfect, especially Pamoja in Serengeti. What could be most intense than the feeling of sleeping in the Savana in a beautifull and luxury tent, earing animals and having breakfast with sunrise ?
Everything was just perfect. For sure, i'll come back in Tanzania and will make the safari with Lomo! Thanks a lot again, you created the most intense moment in my life and made my 30th birthday magical

Great experience with great team
Great experience from arrival to departure. The communication around the trip preparation was very swift and clear. Welcome drinks with cookies at JRO airport, transfer to the hotel and complete briefing with Hellen were perfect. Off to a 3-days safari early morning (Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and lake Manyara) with Rahim (good driver, very kind, respectful, big knowledge about fauna and flora) and Mactilda (first female guide as trainee, very kind, respectful, great knowledge about wildlife). They enabled us to see so many animals; both were very good spotters and always searching for the best places to see the animals, but with great respect for them however as well as for the nature around us. They took great care of us, serving nice cooked lunches at midday, making drinks, coffee and tea available at any time. We felt very comfortable and had some good laughs. Saying good bye to them was rather sad, but we were so happy about this unforgettable experience.
The chosen Lodge during the safari (Pamoja, Karatu) was a truly nice surprise; big bungalows in a beautiful garden, pool, caring staff.
We will definitely arrange another trip with LOMO in the future and would definitely warmly recommend the whole LOMO team to anyone who wants to live a wonderful experience in this region.
Another aspect of LOMO we appreciated was the idea behind it : Less for Ourselves More for Others = there is a foundation that helps Tanzanian people in need. A part of your money supports this which is quite motivating.
Thank you again!

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!

Could not be better. Absolute experts. Attentive from booking to completing the trip.
This was a trip that exceeded our expectations. The amount of wildlife was simply amazing. Besides seeing all the classic animals such as lions, elephants, zebras, and giraffes, we saw dozens of other animal types and literally tens of thousands of total animals. And all of it up close. We kept a list and by the end we had seen over 30 different varieties of animals and that's not counting all the amazing birds. We did our travel through Lomo Tanzania Safari. I would highly recommend them to anyone. I can't imagine doing this trip without their expert help. Erasto made the booking very easy and was quick to respond as we were making plans and trying to understand our options. Philip was our guide and it became obvious that he is one of the best and truly a guide's guide. His expertise at finding more difficult wildlife and predicting wonderful spots for viewing was unsurpassed. His knowledge of the wildlife was profound. Everyday was a bit different and added to the overall experience. All of the nightly accommodations were excellent and there was always more than enough good food to eat. We would highly recommend that everyone have a Tanzania safari experience and when you make your plans you should do so through Lomo and request Philip as your guide.

LOMO goes the full distance
Erasto Gurdy is an experienced and most excellent tour guide and takes pride in training his employees to meet his high standards. We spent 4 wonderful days in the company of another couple with Erasto and his associate, David. The overall experience far exceeded my expectations in all aspects. The safari vehicle was comfortable, trust-worthy and well maintained. Erasto and David knew how to bring us into stunning close contact with the wildlife we had come to see, often pretty much by ourselves, despite a generally high density of safari vehicles in the area. Both guides were personable and highly knowledgeable about the fauna AND FLORA, sharing much interesting information with us. Food and accommodations were excellent. Overall, the experience was of outstanding quality for a fair price. We were all completely satisfied and would go back tomorrow!

Excedeed our expectation
To begin, comunication with Lomo Safari was super helpful in fulfilling our needs and wishes.
We took 3day Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara NP tour. Day before our trip the chief of Lomo Safari visited us and we run through entire itinerary and tuned small details.
Starting the first day of the trip, we met our driver Rahim and the car we went with. I would like to appreciate the condtition and equipment of the car. There is a WiFi onboard, you can charge your gadgets aswell and there was a fridge with refresments and snacks.
As for the each of the parks we were very lucky seeing so many animals we couldn't even imagine, some far, some very close to vehicle.
Each day Rahim set us a pre-made lunch which was super delicious everytime. You can choose whether you want to dine the proper way with plates and cutlery or to have a lunch box. Also big thanks to Rahim who did everything to our please, his knowledge was superb and we learned so much about Tanzania fauna and flora.
Overall I would like to the thank the Lomo Safari, Erasto and Rahim for wonderfull experience which we are lucky to have. We really enjoyed our stay at safari and sure will do recommend to our friends.

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 ❤️

Super professional, trustworthy and fun
Our visit in Tanzania was a lifetime experience, and it wouldn’t have been the same without our amazing guide and the Lomo Tanzania Safari team. During our safari experience, I personally loved how our guide described in detail our route, the points of interest on the road, he was taking his time to tell us about Tanzania's culture and helped us discover lots of hidden gems. While driving through the national parks, he had a nice way of telling the story behind the animal’s life and behavior. I totally recommend Lomo Tanzania Safari, the route is very well thought out, the guides are well trained and polite. In addition to the good atmosphere and great experience, they make you feel safe and have a great time.
