Wonderful experience and perfect organization
Erasto and David (French-speaking guide) came to pick us up at our hotel in Moshi, offering us champagne.
They ensured the transfer to our Hotel in Arusha and we greatly simply the task.
The next day, Erasto, Rahim the driver and David picked us up at the hotel and offered us water bottles bearing the image of LomoTanzania and with our first names.
Our 4*4 was equipped with all amenities (wifi connection, water and various drinks in the fridge).
We spent 3 days and 2 fantastic nights in the Serengeti Park and the Ngorongoro Crater and we saw the big five animals (rhino, elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo).
Our French-speaking guide David had a great knowledge of wildlife and taught us a lot.
We stayed in the Sound of Silence luxury tented camp and received a warm welcome.
We would like to thank Lomotanzania for the professionalism and their human side and have always responded favorably to our requests.
A big thank you to Erasto, Rahim and David and we wish you a lot of success because you deserve it (A journey that changes lives!)

An amazing operator for a magical safari
We spent an amazing safari with Lomo Tanzania Safari as well as with Wild of Choices (their partner in Kenya with whom we got in touch and had constructive support to build the itinerary and book the trip). Everything started with a VIP pick up at the airport by Eurasto, with snacks and champagne. The selected lodges were comfortable, with proper food. The 4x4 Land Cruiser vehicle was above our expectations with high quality and comfortable equipments. This is without mentioning Peter, our wonderful guide and driver for our 3-day safari through Tarangire and Ngorongoro national parks: Peter was sympathetic and gave us many information and tips on the wildlife surrounding us, while letting us enjoying as much as possible in our own space. He was also very attentive and strategic to give us the opportunity to see as many animals as possible.
In sum, we strongly recommend Lomo Tanzania Safari Ltd for your upcoming safaris and won’t hesitate to book again!

Amazing safari experience
We had an amazing safari experience with Lomo. From the airport pick-up (they waited for us with snacks, coffee and tea - which was great after a long trip), to the Arusha market and sightseeing and the 3 days of Safari. Our guide Peter was perfect, giving us a lot of information and letting us enjoy everything in our own pace. Erasto, the manager of Lomo was always there for us, welcoming us and giving us the Arusha tour. The lodges were we stayed were also very nice and the picnics we had very tasty. Overall a great experience which we definitely recommend. And Lomo was for us a perfect choice for a private tour. We were in Arusha, Tarangire, Ngorongo and Lake Manyara.

Unforgettable, fabulous and professional
We arranged everything by email and met Erasto at our hotel the night before the safari. He then met us again along with our guide Adam, we went shopping for snacks and off we went! Adam was superb! His passion and knowledge for wildlife, his eagerness to learn more, and his considerate hospitality surpassed our expectation. Our picnic hamper was full, and everyday Adam carefully prepared the lunch table. Cold drinks on the onboard fridge meant we could cool off as temperatures soared in the Serengeti. He is a very experienced guide with over 18 years in the business. We nicknamed him Catman for his love of the cats, and his expert knowledge of them. We had wonderful sightings of leopards, lions, serval, cheetah…We went to see the annual migration in the Serengeti and we had breathtaking views of the thousands of wilderbeest marching north. Photos cannot do it justice. Along the way we saw over 180 species of birds. Despite it being a short trip, we had a truly wonderful experience. We will definitely use LOMO again, for their professional and high quality service. 10% of their profits go to helping children go to school.
We recommend taking the semi-luxury package. We took the mid-range package, and loved the Pamoja lodge in the Serengeti, but we would not use the Pamoja lodge in Karatu again. The LOMO team are very accommodating and flexible. I’m already saving for the next trip!

Very professionally mapped out everything I was told was true
I was in Zanzibar with my daughter son in law and 2 grandchildren a Safari had been on my bucket list for many years.My daughter done all the research she spoke to many companies but after speaking with Lomo she thought that they sounded genuine and were value for money.We were not disappointed the service from the driver was first class and all the accommodations were first class.I would highly recommend Lomo to anyone.

You could not wish for more from a Safari company!
Where do I begin?
I was recommended to use Lomo when I was planning my first safari trip for my family of four and my father too.
We had specific requirements, due to the varying ages of the group from 5 up to 72 so we really needed someone who would understand the importance of everyone's comfort, time requirements, relaxing places to stay and to manage the expectations of such a diverse group.... Not an easy task.
Dealing with Erasto from the beginning I felt completely at ease, like speaking to a friend who took the time to ask the right questions and determine what was needed to provide the best possible itinerary for the group.
Several options for itinerary were offered, with plenty of discussion and "tweaking" to get all factors right. Erasto was always polite, gracious and able to offer solutions to any details that needed to be altered.
We took a six night trip, slowly taking in three national parks ; Arusha NP, Tarangire NP and Ngorongoro Crater.
Accommodation was carefully chosen and we stayed at the best possible accommodation that more than met our expectations.
We were met at the airport by Rahim who was our guide for the entire trip, with almost 20 years of experience we were in very safe hands. Not only his impressive knowledge and ability to spot a species from an incredible distance (none other than a trained eye could know) but his careful driving and consideration for his passengers and his incredible warm personality made him instantly become part of "the family".
We were also blessed to be accompanied by Abisae, Lomo's very own professional photographer. Very skilled and professional, he made a welcome addition to the team. By the end of our week together, we felt we had made lifelong friends.
Having spotted more species than we could have expected, all expectations of what we would feel from our first safari trip were completely exceeded.
Also we felt like royalty when we arrived at the "perfect backdrop" picnic sites, alongside many others tourist eating packed lunches as we dined on freshly made hot foods off plates and cutlery, fresh fruits and salads, wine, beer, juice, fresh coffee, tea and hot chocolate and biscuits!!
It's easy for anyone to put together standard itinerary for basic requirements, but with Lomo you are truly experiencing the difference between "off the peg" and "tailor made".
The relationships between the Erasto and his staff, along with the partnerships with the hotels and lodge owners are also commendable, like a family working together to provide a five star service for a mid range budget.
Can you get your safari for cheaper?... Sure you can! But you risk compromising on what should be most memorable experience in your life as was the case for us.
Please let me advise you that I know how difficult it is when planning to make the perfect trip, you can't see into the future to know if you have made the right choice and decision when investing your time and money... But I wholeheartedly recommend that in this company you can trust.

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.
