Friendly, finding us a great team to Kilimanjaro!
A huge thank to Crater Explorer Safari for organizing an unforgettable Mount Kilimanjaro trek for us! The owner, Emanuel, is incredibly warm, enthusiastic, and tailored every detail of our itinerary perfectly to our needs.
Our lead guide, Richard, and his young apprentice, George, were the absolute dream team—knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely hilarious. They kept our spirits high with great stories along the trail and somehow mastered the art of adjusting the pace to match our fitness levels. Whenever we felt like collapsing, their relentless positivity kept us putting one foot in front of the other. Thanks to them, our not-so-athletic crew actually made it to Gillman’s Point!
It was undeniably tough, but the breathtaking summit views made every single drop of sweat worth it. Highly recommend Crater Explorer Safari to anyone dreaming of Kili!

Great 4 day Meru trek
The trek was wonderful! This is a perfect option for people who want to hike and see animals and don't have the time/money/stamina for Kilimanjaro. Tough summit day.
The huts were clean, everything ran smoothly, and our crew did a great job. Our guide Mike was knowledgeable, encouraging, and easygoing. Lots of big tasty meals - you won't go hungry.
Communication with the company was easy, though I had to ask questions to get all the info I needed. So don't hesitate to text/email to coordinate. Emanuel helped arrange sleeping bag rentals for us and has an easy deposit system in place for payment.
It was very helpful to have the hotel included for the night before and the night after. Made planning and luggage storage easy.

Safari 4 days
We have just finished a 4-day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, and the experience was absolutely incredible. We had the opportunity to see a wide variety of animals in breathtaking landscapes, and every day exceeded our expectations.
We would especially like to highlight the outstanding work of Omar, our driver, and James, our guide. Both were professional, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make our experience the best possible. Omar drove us safely and comfortably through all the parks, always finding the best spots to observe wildlife.
The service we received was exceptional from day one. Their kindness, friendliness, and dedication truly made a difference and turned this safari into an unforgettable experience.
We 100% recommend this experience to anyone who wants to discover the beauty of Tanzania. Thank you so much, Omar and James, for the memories that we will cherish forever!

Fantastic tour with Crater Explorers!
We had a fantastic time on our 4-day Safari booked with Crater Explorer. Everything was well organized, our guide Thomas was simply amazing and we managed to see many animals (for which you’ll always need a little bit of luck, you’re not going to the zoo). Crater Explorer is a slightly smaller companies than some of the big names you’ll see so they really put efforts into customers satisfaction. We’d recommend them to anyone looking to do a safari in Serengeti and N’Gorongoro.

Outstanding service and memories for a lifetime.
When looking for our safari, I researched a number of tour companies. I chose Crater Explorers because they offered great value for money and Emanuel’s communication was friendly. quick and informative.
When we arrived at Kilimanjaro airport Emanuel was there to great us with a welcoming smile. We decided on the 4 day safari, taking in Tarangire NP, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide Timot was safe on the roads, friendly, reliable and extremely knowledgeable without being over the top. He knew the beautiful landscape and the animals of his country like the back of his hand. We seen the Big 5, the ugly 5 and much much more! My highlights were the lion cub eating, the baby elephant being scared of a bird and spotting the elusive Leopard walking along a rock face.
We could not have got through the 4 days without the delightful chef, Emmanuel, who offered us variety and an abundance of food which was fresh and delicious. Thank you all for an amazing and unforgettable experience.

Perfect tour operator
The tour was amazing! Communication before and during the tour was great. This company has very competitive options for campings and lodges. We chose the camping (4 days/3nights) and it was simply perfect. Emanuel is very responsive. The driver Timo and the chef Emanuel are super kind and happy to explain when you have questions. Overall, I highly recommend a safari experience with crater explorer!
