Well organized
It was a great experience, they had all well organized . First they picked us up at our hostel, then we went to Taranguire park and next day to Ngorongoro. The driver and guide Stanley was great, he explained us all the animals and he droves safetely. We enjoyed a lot. I recommend it.

Incredible experience and good driver
We enjoyed it a lot, everything was very well organized.
Standley is the best driver ever! He explained so many interesting facts about the animals and made the experience even more special.
We had a perfect experience!

Lovely nature, services expensive and not really rewarding
I had the 4 day 3 nights budget joining group in Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro. The nature is amazing, especially the crater, packed with animals and the views are crazy. Tarangire was also packed with animals. The Serengeti is huge, so we drove more and saw less animals.
What left a sour taste in my mouth was the price - service quality ratio. I will leave a breakdown here:
- Lem carnivores contact was responsive and polite, but the organisation was chaotic, the first 2 mornings we had to wait for a few hours each day (when animals are actually most active) just so they can organize the cars, they changed the driver and they don't communicate all this in advance, we felt like you never know what awaits you
- drivers & cook were nice people, although we would have expected more info from the drivers about the schedule
- first day accommodation was a very basic room, second night in Serengeti was an awful public campsite: tents smelled like dirty feet, there was no light in the bathrooms and showers, showers doors did not close, no toilet paper, no soap, no hot water and generally dirty. The third night in Ngorongoro public campsite was ok: tents were better, we even got pillows, bathrooms were clean, functional, they had toilet paper, light and hot water, but no soap.
- the cook was a friendly guy, we had more than enough each day, but I have high doubts about how the food is stored, because it is transported without a fridge and in the kitchen area there is no refrigerator. 3 of us got diarrhea, it was bad, we think it was the meat
- safari jeeps are not really well maintained. every day we would pass by broken down cars, lots of them!! in the last day ours broke as well in the exact moment when the diarrhea hit (to be so lucky...)
For me I believe 3 days would have been enough, considering the many hours you spend in the car on bumpy roads. If you have back pain, you will feel it a lot, so keep that in mind when booking.
I also believe that what I wrote here is a reality for all the operators, not only for Lem Carnivores, I just have the feeling that this is the most Tanzania services can provide.
All in all, I would have expected way more out of a 700 dollar experience (+3.5% transfer fees!), but the nature was amazing.
Outstanding service!
We loved working with Lem Carnivores because they’re a local company, they’re very knowledgable, safe and fun! They’re patient and really looked after our group of 12 people! Highly recommend them!

Amazing Experience
We booked a budget safari (4days/3nights) and it was truly amazing. Our guide Emanuel was exceptional and took us away from all the main roads that are crowded with all the other tour operators, so the experience driving around Serengeti alone was quite unique. He knew a lot about the area and especially the animals and also where to go look for them.
Can absolutely recommend!

Kind and very caring. Always there to help.
Had and amazing private safari tour with my friend. I really suggest you to get the private safari tour because you make the program and the guides are gonna show you things you would not see in a group safari. If you go just ask Manuel to be your guide. Very interesting and nice guy knowing so much history about his country and Africa in general. You are gonna be amazed by his ability to be at the right place on the right time for wildlife observation. Vincent the owner of the company was with us all the time , helping and caring for us. Thank you so much both of you guys . The best experience .

A magic experience in Tanzania with LemCarnivoresTours
We were a group of eight people visiting Tanzania for the first time. We chose Lem Carnivores based on recommendations from friends who had traveled with them in the past. Vicente organized the safari, hotels, lodges, and camps. They did an exceptional job, the guides were very professional and showed us the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater with excellent quality. I would travel with them again.
