Wow, wow, wow!
5/5

We recently returned from an incredible safari with John of Allure African safaris! John is a walking encyclopedia of animal, bird and plant knowledge. He took great care of us during our 4 day trip to Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. We saw lions, cheetahs, giraffes, elephants, zebras, wildebeests, impalas, baboons, Cape buffalos and so much more! He answered my endless questions and is an excellent driver and guide. I always felt safe. We were a party of 6 and the safari vehicle was comfortable for all of us and all our stuff. John is everything you would want - and more - in a safari guide. Highly recommend!!

Overall Amazing Trip!
5/5

Our safari with John of Allure African Safaris was amazing! John is very knowledgeable about all the wildlife and their behaviors as well as Serengeti National Park where we visited. He is friendly and warm and also professional, and speaks great English! Allure African Safaris was such an amazing company to travel with because all reservations were taken care of, exceeded expectations, and were affordable. What a trip! Thanks to John, we saw all of the "big five" animals, and had some truly breathtaking encounters, like when John took us to see a sleeping family of lions that was tucked away in the grass; he goes above and beyond to make sure his customers have a once-in-a-lifetime safari. Thank you Allure African Safaris!

Wow! John is the Serengeti Animal Whisperer!
5/5

Our safari was excellent with Exaudi "John". We traveled to the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater and saw so many animals up close and active! John seemed to know just where to go and his insights into the animal behavior allowed us to watch several lions stalk zebras, a leopard and her cub climbing down the tree, cheetahs and her cubs rolling around and giraffes gracefully walking across the savannah. His knowledge of the animals and birds of Tanzania was expansive and we all learned so much from him. He arranged wonderful accommodations at the Domel Camp. I appreciated the fact that John tailored the safari to our interests. I highly recommend!

Trip of a lifetime!
5/5

Having just returned from Africa the memories of our trip are still fresh in my mind. Gentle, kind and thoughtful people, thriving wildlife, a serene lodge, a beautiful Landcruiser to tour the country...all thanks to our guide John. This safari far exceeded my expectations. It was great to see first hand why Tanzania is a leader in the world of conservation efforts. You name it, we saw it! Elephants, giraffes, lions....all up close. John is not only well versed in wildlife but is an amazing human and a joy to be around.

Amazing experience!
5/5

John was an amazing guide and is an overall awesome person. His knowledge of the area, culture, people, languages, and, of course, animals (especially birds) was unparalleled. He seemed to know where all the animals were and we even sawa the elusive lepard. His safari jeep was very comfortable (we had a party of 7) and the top opened allowing for a 360 degree view. Our lodge in Karatu (Pamoja) was wonderful, peaceful, and beautiful and was the perfect location between 3 amazing parks/conservation areas. I hope to travel back to Tanzania with my family and would only trust our experience to John. I highly recommend John and Allure African Safari.

Exceeded All Expectations
5/5

I had never been on safari before -- never dreamed I'd be able to, actually -- and recently had the good fortune of taking a 3-day safari with John at Allure African Safaris. It was an incredible experience; I learned a ton about E. Africa and its wildlife in a very short time, and I enjoyed far more comfort than I was expecting. We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and Ngorongoro Crater -- 3 very different parks with different wildlife in each. We saw all of the Big 5 as well as zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, baboons, countless fascinating birds, and even a monitor lizard. We also learned a lot about Maasai people and culture in the area, and John was patient with all of our questions. Not only was he knowledgeable, but he was also attentive to our needs (we were fully stocked with bottled water, and he always found us a pit stop when nature called) and just really enjoyable to be with. He has an easy sense of humor and quickly formed relationships with each of us and our particular requests to take certain photos or see certain animals (when possible, of course). I noticed that he has a strong rapport with other safari guides who clearly respect him and his experience, and they all seem to cooperate with each other to share information so that their guests have the best experiences possible. The lodge we stayed at in the evenings, Olea, was an oasis -- attentive service, delicious food, comfy beds, and great showers. If I'm lucky enough to go on safari again, I will definitely go with John and try for the Serengeti next time. Truly, you will not be disappointed!

Highly reommended compagny for a safari in Tanzania
5/5

In February 2019, it was my second safari in Tanzania with Allure African Safari. John Exaudi, our guide and driver, was a very cautious driver, a very good naturalist knowing many things about nature and animals, specially all the birds of his country. In January 2015 he organised for us (myself and my wife) a fantastic safari through Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti Parks. With a very good choice of magnificent lodges. This time (February 2019), he drove me to the Tarangire and we saw many animals, including leopard, lions, oryx, elephants, and so many birds. John is very frienly and, because of his great experience, I highly recommand him if you wish to visit this beautiful country.
