An amazing safari experience!
We had an incredible time in the Serengeti and Ndutu with LOMO Safaris.
Before the safari, Erasto and his team worked hard to provide a number of options to suit our budget and were very flexible. The team also held a 'safari briefing' the day before we left, which just added to our excitement.
On the safari, our guide, Ben, was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I have been on safari before but my parents hadn't and they were absolutely amazed by how many animals we saw, and how many facts Ben shared with us about them.
It was an amazing experience and I wouldn't hesitate to book with LOMO again, and to recommend them to friends and family!
Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and beyond
Erasto and his team at LOMO provided us with a fantastic safari experience in Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and surrounding areas. Erasto was dependable, knowledgeable and ever-diligent in assuring that we enjoyed our experience and learned as much as possible. He worked tirelessly to accommodate my attempts to photograph what we were seeing. I cannot imagine how LOMO could have improved on our trip. I would highly recommend LOMO's services to anyone and will definitely use LOMO again if I have the opportunity for another trip to the area.

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!

Exceptional Safari Trip
We had an Amazing Trip to Tarangire National Park with Esrato and his Wife, We enjoyed our trip from the time we were picked up until our return - The vehicle very comfortable and of course the landscape with the animals exceptional - i was so surprised to see so many species of animals in large numbers, so quickly once entering the park, in particular, elephants in large numbers were present..The food was delicious. everything you may think of was provided. Erasto is very knowledgeable and i would definitely recommend Lomo company for any upcoming safari trips

Unparalleled experience!
There are no words to accurately reflect the once in a lifetime experience I shared with my best friend through Lomo safari. I know this review will never do it justice.
Staff
-Lomo respond promptly to every email and question before safari.
- Shelen and Godfrey picked us up after long day of travel, and unexpectedly took us out to a much needed lunch. They are so flexible about picking up from pre and post safari accommodations.
-Erasto and his wife dropped us off at the airport after safari. Again, genuine interest in our experience, great energy and kindness extended our way, beyond expectation.
-Godfrey was our guide/driver for the safari. His work ethic, professionalism, and knowledge is next level. He took cues from us on when to engage and when to allow silence to just take in the sights. He moved fluidly through providing in depth information about local history and traditions regarding both people and animals. He took care of our every need throughout our 3 day safari. Godfrey also has an amazing sense of humor. He kept us laughing and joined in on our silly antics. Exceptionally fun! We were with him for 3 days. For the next 10 days we were in Africa we would frequently turn to each other and say, "I wish Godfrey was here."
Accomodations
- The lodges we stayed at were spectacular.
-beautiful rooms, comfortable beds, fabulous showers, amazing views, delicious food, pools, etc.
- staff at every lodge were warm, welcoming, and so fun to talk to
- lovely nature walks one of the days prior to safari.
Safari
-Beautiful, "movie set" like back drops.
-Lions, elephants, giraffes, zebra, hippos, etc. directly in front of you.
- It doesn't get any better.
-We expected boxed lunches and were instead spoiled with delicious, multi coursed meals, with wine, coffee, juice, hot cocoa, chilled water options.
-The first day, elephants decided to join us for lunch
Summary
- I know I'm leaving out a million reasons why LOMO should be everyone's choice for safari. Every detail of the trip was thoughtful, personalized, and special. Knowing that some of the money paid goes towards supporting local orphanages and helping provide secondary education for children, was icing on the cake.
Thank you LOMO safari for providing unparalleled services and an unforgettable safari experience!
Exceptional Safari Experience
My wife and I had been on several safaris between us and this was far-and-above the best safari experience we have had; on the trip we did the central Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Lomo's communication was clear and timely from the beginning, and Erasto, the managing director and guide, was a true professional. He was full of good information, genuinely interested in sharing about wildlife but also Tanzania in general, very attentive to ensuring logistics were perfectly planned, and committed to finding the animals we wanted to see. I highly recommend Lomo for your Tanzania safari experience.

amazing trip
Erasto started out with great planning. He knew the right questions to ask to figure out what we wanted in terms of budget, accomodations, and day-to-day animal viewing. He is a good driver and never got stuck despite all the mud. The car was new and he kept it very clean (again despite all the mud). The electrical chargers worked well. Responses to e-mails were very prompt. It didn't hurt that the scenery and wildlife were beautiful too.

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.
