The best guide in the park!
5/5

Wow, wow, wow!
I've been through most bigger game reserves in Africa several times but this trip was the crown jewel! Not only because Serengeti in itself was mindblowing, but also because of Freddy who is a gem of a guide and who made our experience an unforgettable one! He's obviously very knowledgeable about the game, birds and plants... (We had so many fun discussions identifying birds :) ) But this guy will also get you through any swampy area savely to find the best sightings (important during rainy season) ! He even pulled another safari truck out of the mud, who got stuck in a lesser traveled part of the park. Because of that we only arrived after night fall, but we could really lean back and enjoy the adventure, as we obviously had the most experienced driver in the park.
Communication via WhatsApp before, during and after the safari was easy going and professional. Freddy organised EVERYTHING, he was considerably cheaper than other company's and and we still had luxurious tenting accommodation. Don't miss out on this unique experience and book with Freddy! You'll have an amazing, unforgettable time... Promise!

The love for his job shines in his eyes
5/5

My first time in The Serengeti for just three days, Freddy got us covered with Itravelsafaris! For a phone photographer with family, you need to cope alot and I can never fathom another safari to seamlessly unfold with our wild encounters like this!
Punctuality, superb communication, well learned and educative talk was my experience. This was unique and spectacular. Guaranteed to probe your journeys on our African plains

Nothing can word my excitement and thrill here.

Freddy made sure that we were all comfortable with the plan prior to safari day
Especially with my tight budget.

Accommodation and food, we settled for the Heritage campsite

Exquisite local and tasty food might I add
For vegan and second rounds

Working as a team, Alfred got us to the serengeti in one day, even after all the photo sessions we took haha!

The migration was on our way and I'm so grateful for the sight he gave us all to capture every animal we came across
Checklist = cleared

*sight meaning great parking skills for lighting and angles

Another car did get stuck in the mud on our way due to floods lately, and as a team, they hauled the guy out, twice!
Great calm nature he has with taking caution as we maneuvered through the plains, cats around us until the first campsite after a colourful sunset

Check out a few of my photos to see what I got with my phone at the Serengeti!

My stories will not fit here though my adventure is bound to keep going for another & many more safaris with Itravel

Cheers!

Freddy is genuine gem of a person, he is extremely easy to work and a true joy to spend time with.
5/5

Best vacation ever! Freddy and Benny were wonderful guides. They ensured the entire trip was seamless. From the moment we walked off the plane until our final goodbye. It was so relaxing to know that they took care of every detail. The travel and accommodations were even better than we anticipated. I particularly enjoyed our evening updates, to go over what was going to occur the next day. Freddy was always open to modifications in the plan if desired and he reminded us of the African phrase of going slowly "polepole", which we have incorporated into our everyday language. We were a family of 8 adults and Freddy and Benny took time to get to know each of us. We spent 3 days on safari and were fortunate enough to see the big 5! We will always remember our wonderful time in the beautiful country of Tanzania. Much love to all of the establishments that we stayed at along the way, that ensured such a top notch trip.

The best Guide you can wish for, amazing experience
5/5

Where do I begin... a piece of our hearts has stayed in Tanzania. Never before has a farewell been so difficult; we will miss the adventure in the Land Cruiser with Freddy so, so much.
Freddy is the best guide you could wish for. He knows the national parks like the back of his hand and is simply a great person. We are very lucky to have met him. It felt like he knew exactly where we should go to observe the Big 5 and all the other amazing animals in their natural habitat. We had the incredible luck to see the Big 5 - unique goosebump moments that will stay with us forever. He had fascinating information about each animal, and we learned so much. Relaxation and excitement awaited us after the tour in tented lodges. The luxurious tents are like hotel rooms with real beds, very comfortable. At night, you fall asleep amidst the sounds of animals roaming and hunting in their territories. A friendly Maasai always accompanies you safely to the tent; everything is secure. But you probably can't get any closer to nature than this, it's amazing.
Even if Freddy doesn't personally lead the tours, rest assured that he has a guide on his team who can make dreams come true, just as it was for us. Just contact him; he will tailor your dream safari individually. He takes care of everything.
Freddy, we owe you everything. Words cannot express how valuable these 3 days in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater were for us. We already miss the conversations we had during the drive. We will definitely see each other again because we are returning as friends. ❤️

Freddy is the best guide, and will give you the best experience of your life!
5/5

This is the second time I have used iTravel for a safari, and I didn’t think things could get better than the first time around but they did! His knowledge of the parks is exceptional, and he knows exactly where to go to give you the best chance of seeing all the animals. His instincts are superb. Our groups favorite experience was seeing a leopard up in the tree because it was just us as opposed to multiple groups viewing the animal. The lodging he set us up with was also one of the best experiences we had as a group. Book iTravel an I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

The perfect guide: Extraordinarily friendly, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and reliable
5/5

We wouldn't know what Freddie could have done better during our Safari. He expertly managed our time, selected amazing lodges, and spotted a wide variety of rare animals -- we even discovered a pack of 20 lions and stopped right next to them! Our trip had zero waiting times thanks to Freddie: He checked, double-checked, and triple-checked that everything went smoothly behind the scenes and was 15 minutes early to every appointment. His level of reliability and attentiveness was unmatched in any other guide we spent time with. Freddie is also extremely friendly, open, easy-going, and knowledgeable -- he even identified all the birds we spotted! His car is excellent as well, with extra large windows and an excellent suspension (very important on a Safari!). In short, we highly recommend Freddie and iTravel Safari. We wouldn't have any other guide!

Safaria 3 days
5/5

Best first Safari experience we could have. Freddy from the I Travel Safari is a amazing guide and host. We did a 3 day Safari tour with him and went to the Ngororo Crater, Serengeti and Ngororo Safaris. On the day before and after the Safari it was possible to stay at his place where we could learn more about the culture and lifestyle in Tanzania as well eat different local foods.
In less than 24 hours in Serengenti we could see a lot of different animals, almost all the big fives, except from the Rhinos.
He does for years Safari tours and know a lot about the area and the animals there. He is very good at finding the perfect spots to find them. We were able to see a chettah hunting, a female lion carring her babies, families of elephants and a lot more. Freddy is a ten out of 10 guide. He took care of everything and tried to make us comfortable all the time...
I strongly recommend Freddy for anyone looking for doing a Safari in Tanzania.
Thanks for letting us have this amazing and unforgettable experience in your country.
Best regards,
H and P.

Superb safari guide
5/5

We went with Freddy for a 3 day safari in Ngorongoro and Tarangire parks. He is a great safari guide who was providing enough background information about the Wildlife and also made every effort to show us the most possible during the day. Freddy has a very calm personality which was especially appreciated when driving on the local highways . The night before we stayed with his family, where his wife made us some delicious dinner and breakfast. Overall I can just only recommend Freddy for your next superb safari experience.

Wonderful safari & guide
5/5

We went on a 3 days / 2 night safari with Freddy visiting the Tarangire and Ngorongoro National parks. It was a wonderful experience! Freddy is very knowledgable, respectful and doing his job professionally! He made lots of efforts to spot the animals for us and also to find the right spots to stop to make photos/videos. Safari was an unforgettable experience thanks to him!

We can only recommend to choose Freddy for safari!
