2-Day Fly from Zanzibar to Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater
What an incredible and unforgettable experience! I honestly couldn’t recommend this trip more.
From start to finish, the communication was excellent. Even my silly last minute packing questions were answered quickly via WhatsApp!
The safari itself exceeded all of my expectations. Our guides, Mike and Sia, were absolutely fantastic - they managed to help us spot the Big Five and so many other amazing animals. By the end of the trip, they felt more like friends than guides.
Everything was perfectly organised and ran on time. The jeep was fully equipped with binoculars, bottled water, tissues, and wet wipes, and the food provided throughout the trip, both during the journey and at camp, was delicious.
The camp itself was beautiful, and every member of staff we met was warm, friendly, and welcoming.
If you’re thinking about booking this safari, don’t hesitate - just do it!! It was truly a once in a lifetime experience.

Great tour operator!
We had the most amazing time in the Serengeti NP thanks to professional safari! Octavian helped us with a personalised private safari with an overnight stay in the national park which was absolutely incredible! A HUGE thank you to Mick our guide, he was brilliant! A genuinely lovely man who we got to know well over the 2 days we were with him, he knew exactly where to go to see the most beautiful animals and he made our trip unforgettable. Thank you Octavian, Mick and Professional safari we highly recommend you!

Very well organised. Enjoyed ourselves a lot. Saw all of the Big 5!
We had a fantastic 3-day private safari with Professional Safari and would happily give them 5 stars.
Everything was very well organised from start to finish, with excellent communication and flexibility whenever we had questions or requests. We visited Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and were lucky enough to see all the animals we hoped for, including two cheetahs, rhinos up close, and more lions than we could count.
A special thank you to our guide, driver and host, Deo. He was incredibly knowledgeable and always happy to answer our questions about the wildlife, parks and local area. His expertise made the experience even more enjoyable.
The accommodations were very good overall, the dinners were excellent, and the entire trip ran smoothly without any issues. We would definitely recommend Professional Safari to anyone visiting Tanzania.

Excellent experience connecting with a tour provider
I used Safari Bookings to get quotes from 3 safari providers. I received responses from 3 and by far the most timely and complete responses came from Professional Safari's. I selected them and they were very easy to work with through the entire process. The safari was excellent although noted that while we were suposed to have refreshments in a refrigerator on board, we did not. We didn't mind buying them for ourselves but had to do that at stops. We got to see everything but a leopard and our safari guide Jon, while a little on the quiet side was excellent when it came to explaining local details, and details about the animals. He knew the parks like the back of his hand, and seemed to know many of the other guides which was helpful when they found something before we did. We went with mid range accomodations and were happy all the way around with them. Very affordable as well compared to others we saw.
Excellent
I am so happy to have had Deo as a Guide. Besonders the fact that he literally knew everything that we asked, he was so friendly und funny. We couldn’t have asked for a better person. Plus I don’t have proof but also no doubts that he had a bionic eye because he spotted everything!! Next time we come back we will for sure ask for him to be our guide again. Thank you so much for this experience.

An Unforgettable Experience
We had a 6-night tour organised by Professional Safaris. We started with a night in Arusha, followed by a safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and into Serengeti National Park.
Mike, our guide made sure that we had an incredible experience from the moment he picked us up at Kilimanjaro airport. He has an uncanny ability to find wildlife (including all of the Big 5) and always shared his extensive knowledge about the animals we saw. He adapted his plans every day, to make sure that each one was different and to make certain that we had an unforgettable experience.
The organisation from the team was excellent. The accommodation was all of an extremely high standard, with wonderful service and delicious food. Everything happened very smoothly, including our flight from Seronera airstrip and final transfer to our hotel on Zanzibar.
I would definitely recommend Professional Safaris to anyone looking for the trip of a lifetime in Tanzania.
As Mike always said, as one adventure finishes another begins.

Deo was such a knowledgeable safari guide, we couldn’t have had a better experience.
We had such a wonderful time on safari. We did only a short trip with a two day 1 night, and toured both the Serengeti and the ngorongoro crater. We saw so much in our short time, Deo our guide was excellent at time keeping and gave us a schedule that meant we saw as much as we could whilst ensuring we met our onward travel arrangements. The food was fantastic, the accommodation was beyond expectations - we wished we had more time to spend there. Deo couldn’t have been more knowledgeable even about the most random little birds and facts! He made sure we saw everything we wanted to (obviously depending on what the animals fancied!) and didn’t rush us along. Also very safe in his capable driving. Excellent safari and would recommend!

Amazing safari 3 days
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience and couldn’t have asked for anything better. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish and we felt well taken care of the entire time.
Our guide was fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly and always making sure we had the best possible experience. We got to see so many animals and learned a lot along the way. Every day felt unique and unforgettable.
The landscapes were breathtaking, the atmosphere was incredible, and the whole trip exceeded our expectations. This became one of those experiences we will remember for the rest of our lives.
Highly recommend to anyone visiting Tanzania — truly a 5/5 experience!

Excellent safari with great customer service and a knowledgeable guide.
We have just completed a 4 night safari with Mark from Professional Safari’s as our guide.
From the initial contact, the company offered exceptional customer service, even offering additional advice to ensure the itinerary maximised wildlife viewings.
Professional Safari’s were also really helpful at all stages, responding quickly to any questions that I had and even organising airport collection for me last minute.
Our guide Mark was really knowledgeable and very patient in answering all our questions. He knew all the best spots to spot the different animals, and we were lucky enough to spot all of the big 5 plus many many more.
Accommodation throughout were also amazing, with lovely rooms that were comfortable and offered good food.
I would definitely recommend Professional Safaris for your trip to Tanzania and would have no doubts in using them again if we are lucky enough to return.
