Fantastic safari and value
We had a great time on our 4-day budget safari through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks! Our guide, Charles, is a really skilful driver and managed to find heaps of animals each day. We saw so many more animals up close than I expected. Our chef, Emmanuel, cooked us delicious breakfasts, hot picnic lunches and dinners each day and made sure we were comfortable at our camps. We felt it was great value. I would happily recommend Crater Safaris.
It’s worth being aware that on group/joining safaris, there is flexibility in the itinerary as you might be with others who are staying at different accommodations in separate areas. It wasn’t an issue for us because Charles and Emmanuel worked really hard to make sure we still maximised game viewing time.

Great value for a wonderful experience
Absolutely loved our budget 4 day group safari. Our guide/driver Charles was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we saw lots of different animals. Chef Emmanuel made delicious food and set up a very comfortable camp. Definitely recommend Crater Explorer - such good value for a very high quality safari.
A tip for other non-Americans/people travelling for a while prior to Safari. We couldn’t buy USD in Arusha, and you can only take 400,000 shillings out at a time from ATMs (approx $150USD). If you are flying via Dar, there is a currency exchange ATM that dispenses USD, otherwise it might be worth paying the extra 5% and doing a bank transfer before you arrive in Arusha.

Great value and amazing experiences
We had Charles (driver and guide) and Emanuel (cook and camp) for our 4 day budget safari and loved the entire experience. Charles knew all the spots to look for animals and we saw so much in such a little time. He was also really flexible and friendly, willing to see what animals the group was interested in. At the camps, the food was amazing and we could just relax knowing it was all taken care of.

Great Safari. Really loved it!
We really loved the safari hosted by Crater Explorers. We had a great driver/ guide Charles. He did everything he could to see all the animals and make us happy. Also Emanuel came along to cook for us. Every day made 3 meals with good variety. Loved his food.

Fantastic
Had a fantastic safari with our family. The driver/guide Charles is the most experienced guide you should have, together with the chef Emanuel who always surprises you with the delicious food. nothing is too much for them and we have seen the most special animals up close. So we can only say if you go on safari you should go to Crater Explorers.

Amazing experience!
We just came back from a 4 days, 3 nights safari with crater explorer. The tour was very well organized by Emanuel, who was always available for any question since the beginning. We did a group joining Safari, who let us meet other people from all over the world. The lodges where we stayed were all amazing and provided the confort we needed after a day of game drive. I would highly recommend choosing Crater Explorer for a Safari experience.

Highly recommended!and very nice guide and manager
We booked this tour 2 months ago. And we took our 2yrs old daughter together. We took a four days safari trip. It was perfect for the young kid, not too tired.The manager Emanuel replied us very quick!! The guide David is very professional, he shares his knowledge to us .We stayed with David for four days, it was a very nice trip and the lodges we stayed were nice and clean. Highly recommend !! We will choose them again when our daughter grows up.
