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 .

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!
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!

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.

Perfect
We had the most amazing experience on our 4-day, 3-night safari, and a huge thank you to our guide, Emmanuel! He was absolutely fantastic — very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and professional. He knew so much about every animal and always knew where to go, which made our safari even more special.
We came mainly hoping to see and photograph as many animals as possible, and Emmanuel made that happen. We saw so many incredible animals and had some unforgettable moments. He was also very patient and made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy the experience and take photos.
A big thank you as well to the cook, who prepared delicious meals throughout the safari. Everything was well organised, and the whole team was so helpful and welcoming.
We truly loved every moment of our safari. It was an amazing, unforgettable experience, and we would absolutely recommend Lem Carnivores Tours to anyone looking for the perfect safari! 🐘🦁❤️
