Above and beyond expectations
5/5

My travel partner and I did a 4.5 day safari tour. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara.
We had a perfect experience.

Arrival: Kilimanjaro airport - Saturday 9th at 8am.
Departure: Arusha airport - Wednesday 13th at 3pm.

1.- Organizing the trip: we got to know about this agency because of an acquaintance recommendation. The organization of the trip with Anthony and his agency was smooth and flexible, able to customize the trip according to our needs and budget (mid range safari).

2.- Animals: wild. The amount of animals, specially in Serengeti was mind-blowing. We managed to see the big five. It felt all the time like a movie or a documentary.

3.- Our tour guide: George was full of knowledge, patience and experienced. He would drive anywhere needed, making sure that our experience was optimal and our expectations fulfilled. His knowledge of the parks ensured that we saw more than even expected (it is never sure that you will see animals or action happening - lottery).

4.- Meals: Normally the hotels would fill a bag and you will do picnic in the designated areas. Just wow. A couple of days we had lunch boxes, which were large and full of options.

4.- Accommodation: beyond expected. The agency selected the perfect places according to our budget. Pamoja Lodge-Karatu, Pamoja Luxury Tented Camp-Serengeti (2 nights), EilensTree-Karatu. All staff was very welcoming and professional. They all made us feel at home. We spent the evenings at the accommodations talking to the personnel, sharing stories of the day and life (we were basically the only ones except at the last place).

5.- Amount of people: not sure if because of Covid (which was pretty well managed with the use of mask and sanitizer everywhere) or the shoulder season, but we didn't find much people/cars.

I strongly recommend Cross Africa Safari and I am thankful because of the amazing experience.

A dream come true..
5/5

me and my girlfriend did a 4 day safari tour at the Serengeti National Park with Cross to Africa Safaris. This was one of the most memorable experiences in our life. Visiting the Serengeti was a dream for us and going with Cross to Africa Safaris was the best choice.
Anthony was super professional and did not only care about our comfort, but he knew exactly where to go and at what point. We were happy to see all big 5, and take home experiences that will last forever.
I can totally recommend this company and I can't imagine a more special experience. Thank you very much!!

For an unforgettable honeymoon choose Cross to africa safari
5/5

We had an amazing 8 days in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake manyara. We did our trip during the corona period, but it didn't bother us much. Antony had everything perfectly arranged. The accommodations were hygienic, beautiful and the food was very tasty. Also the staff was very nice everywhere and always in for a joke. Antony had sent us a good guide. Had an eye for everything and put the jeep on a perfect location to always shoot a beautiful photo. After the trip we spent another 5 days in zanzibar. Antony had a good feel for which hotel would suit us. What a great location and we enjoyed it so much
We totally recommend Cross to Africa safari!

Anthony knows how to make the clients happy!
5/5

We had an incredible tour in Serengeti and Ngorongoro thanks to Anthony and Cross to Africa Safaris. Already before arriving we had a great impression of Anthony, since he answered all our questions showing a deep understanding of our concerns.

Once there, he really couldn't have done more to fulfil our expectations, which were high. We wanted to spend as much time as possible watching at the animals, so Anthony spent many long hours driving and looking for the most interesting places. I don't think it is possible to find more animals than he did, and moreover he knows where to place the car to get the best shots!

Also the cook and the food were exceptional. Moreover, Anthony organised the COVID tests that we needed for our flight. Everything was efficient and well organised.

We can only recommend this local agency with an incredible dedication to make the customers happy!

Great safari experience with very friendly guides
5/5

Cross to Africa Safaris provided a unique and unforgettable experience. From the very start they provided us with flexibility on our tour dates due to the ongoing pandemic and made us feel very comfortable throughout. The safari itself was well thought out in providing us with different experiences and amazing accommodations each day. Our guide, Tony, has a plethora of experience and it showed in how he was able to locate every animal the Serengeti had to offer. The vehicles this company used were top notch in allowing us a 180 degree view during game drives. Great itinerary, great staff, great price, and great experience.

Amazing safari experience!
5/5

This was our first safari experience. We are 3 Americans who found Anthony on this site, and we are so glad we did! We are younger than the usual crowd and just wanted to have fun despite the pandemic. And from the moment Anthony picked us up from the airport, we had an amazing time! Tanzania was an amazing country, and Anthony was so much fun. He was our driver and guide for 6 days of safari, and we saw every animal including a black rhino from a distance on the last day of the Serengeti ! When we needed anything , he would make a stop to get it. Also honorary mention to Julius at embalakai camp in the Serengeti, where we had some of our best memories with him and Anthony. Book with this company you won’t regret it!

Beyond Belief! Excellent life time experience in Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
5/5

We have just completed our safari in Tanzania with Tony (as recommended to us by our son). What a wonderful experience, thanks to Anthony and Cross to Africa. To see such a large number of animals in their natural habitat itself is amazing and rewarding. Tony’s communication skills, intimate knowledge and experience in the great African Savanna in Serengeti, both Central and Western plains, immensely helped us to see many animals in a very close range. At the time as well as now on reflection, some of the maneuvers employed by Tony to give us the best possible experience is truly remarkable. These close-up animal encounters are now our treasured memories. His itinerary, logistical support, food and accommodation in the wild in Africa was a five-star treatment.

Dream come true!
5/5

This was one of the best trips we've ever done! I was planning our safari for quite awhile and was recommended cross to Africa by a friend. Their communication was very clear and fast. What we wanted the most from the safari was to see as many animals as possible. Tony and cross to Africa didn't disappoint! We saw every animal including Multiple cheetah sightings and a leopard in a tree with a kill! It was a dream come true! Tony always managed to get us as close as possible to the action. He went above and beyond what you would expect. To experience it with my family was great! 5 of us had a great time travelling around Tanzania in style in the 4WD.

The accommodation was at a very high standard including 2 nights where we stayed in the Serengeti national Park. We picked medium range accommodation but they were at a very high standard. The highlight was hearing the animal noises whilst staying in a safe and modern tented accommodation with all the amenities of a 4-5 star hotel. Later, I looked up the accommodation online, if we booked it ourselves, it would have cost about 4x what we paid!

In addition to safari, whist we were travelling they also offered cultural experiences including a visit to a massai settlement and a meal a local home.

Overall,a dream come true!!
