Reviews
The guide is very professional and can find many animals.
Our guide called Castor is very professional, the service is very good, but also brings its own eagle eyes, will take us to find a lot of animals, but also saw the horn horse to the river, cheetah hunting, great! I had a good time on the way!

Excellent Safari Tour
Castor was amazing! We had to rearrange our schedule last minute due to unforeseen circumstances and he was able to accommodate all of our changes. Communication was very clear and timely. Castor was also very flexible in adding extras, such as day tours to Mount Meru, if you have extra time.
The safari itself was wonderful. We saw all the animals on our list plus some. Castor was very professional and knowledgeable. The safari vehicle was also well maintained and we always had cold drinks on hand.
All in all it was a great trip and we would definitely recommend Nature Excursions!

Well organized, friendly, and very accommodating.
Castor was very timely in his responses to us when we inquired about the safari tour. When it came time to fly to Tanzania, we had challenges with the airline causing us to delay the tour by 2 weeks, Castor was very accomodating and helped us rearrange all the accommodations.
The tour itself was well organized, Castor took note of our food allergies and the chefs at each campsite made special arrangements to accommodate them. We spotted a lot of animals and we had lots of questions about them, Castor had good knowledge of all the animals and their behaviors. All in all a great experience.

Nature Excursion exceeded expectations and made the trip unforgettable
Castor’s service during the 7-day safari through the Masai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro was outstanding.
The vehicle was comfortable, always clean, and stocked with fresh water.
The itinerary was very well organized, with an excellent selection of lodges and camps.
Castor showed deep knowledge of wildlife, explaining each sighting clearly and enthusiastically. He impressed us with his ability to spot animals from great distances and his constant attention to our well-being.
His dedication and professionalism made the entire experience truly unforgettable.

6-day, 5-night Tanzania+Kenya safari package
We booked a 6-day, 5-night hotel safari with Castor from Nature Excursion Safaris, and overall, our experience was mostly very positive.
What impressed us most about Castor and his service were:
1. Castor is very nice, honest, and reliable. All arrangements were made via online chat, and everything promised was exactly delivered — no bluffing or excuses. What we agreed on was what we actually got.
2. The vehicle provided was in excellent condition. It had a distinctive green exterior and was well-maintained inside with amenities such as tissues, a trash bin, and charging ports. During the entire 5 days in Tanzania, the car had no mechanical issues.
3. We chose a mid-to-upper range hotel safari package. Compared to other agencies offering similar itineraries and accommodations, Castor’s price was more affordable — about $2400 USD per person, which made the trip very good value.
However, our last day was on Kenya side, Castor handed us over to a local Kenya guide, and unfortunately, that day was so disappointing. The car was too old and lacked basic comforts such as water, a fridge, binoculars, or even a trash bin — it felt more like an empty taxi than a proper safari vehicle.
More seriously, just 40 minutes after leaving the border, the Kenya guide’s car broke down on the C103 road (far from Amboseli), and we were standing on the road for one hour. During this time, the driver left to find help and disappeared, leaving 4 of us alone with 3 Maasai strangers without explanation in advance. This made us feel quite anxious and unsafe.
While we highly recommend Castor and Nature Excursion Safaris for the Tanzania portion of the trip, potential travelers should be aware of the Kenya side’s arrangements and communicate clearly with Castor regarding who will be guiding and the quality of vehicles provided.

A very professional company
We have done a three-day safari through the Ngorongoro, the Serengeti and Oldubay accompanied by our driver and guide Joseph. Joseph speaks perfect Spanish and has been an excellent driver and guide. He has always cared about us and has taken care of us perfectly. A highly recommended agency.

Best Tour Operator in Tanzania and Kenya Ever.
What an absolutely fantastic journey! A huge thank you to Castor for his constant care and companionship throughout the trip. He truly proved to be an exceptionally reliable driver-guide, far more professional and trustworthy than other drivers we encountered. His attentiveness and meticulous approach allowed us to experience the unique charm and breathtaking beauty of Africa in ways most travelers never get to witness. He deserves the highest praise! If I ever have the chance to visit again, I would unquestionably choose Castor without hesitation! Highly recommended!
