Experience of a lifetime!
5/5

We booked Seregenti African Tours only a couple weeks before the safari, and our experience was incredible and totally exceeded our expectations. They were so responsive and even customized our itinerary up to the day before to accommodate our specific requests. Linah was so courteous and helpful answering all of our questions and concerns.

Our guide, Simon AKA Safari Monster, is amazing! What makes Simon so awesome is that he’s truly passionate about his love for the animals and creating an unforgettable experience. He has a vast knowledge and answers every question about the animals’ behaviors and their environments. His enthusiasm is evident in how hard he works to find the animals.

The safari was already incredible, and Simon’s knowledge and friendliness made the experience that much better. We are looking forward to planning our next safari with Serengeti African Tours.

From beginning to end, the safari experience was amazing! The service provided, catering to target certain animal viewings, answering all our questions, stops, timing. Everything was great! It was our anniversary trip of a lifetime!

Did not execute, failed to remedy the situation
2/5

Serengeti African Tours markets itself as an ultra-luxury travel provider, which makes our experience all the more disappointing.

Despite paying a substantial premium, the reservation arrangements confirmed to our group just 1 day in advance, were not honored, resulting in significant inconvenience and the unnecessary separation of two couples traveling together. This created an avoidable and uncomfortable situation that should never have occurred.

What was most frustrating was that there was a simple solution available: provide the arrangements that had been promised and paid for. Instead, the issue was mishandled, no meaningful effort was made to resolve it, and the follow-up response consisted of little more than an unsatisfactory email explanation.

Our group entrusted Serengeti African Tours based on the expectation that the company would deliver the experience it sold. Unfortunately, it failed to uphold its commitments, and its response afterward demonstrated a disappointing lack of accountability and customer service.

Luxury travel is defined not only by the destinations and accommodations, but by flawless execution and responsive service when problems arise. In our case, Serengeti African Tours fell well short of the standards it claims to represent. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this company and will be sharing our experience with others considering booking through them.

A couple of highlights which kept it from 1 star:

Our Guide (Godfrey Maarifa) was very knowledgeable, engaging, and good to work with. If you can book directly with him, he's great.

The park overdelivers. I suspect that the guide had a significant impact on the animal viewing but we saw them all. Definitely recommend the trip, just not the tour operator based on the customer service and attention to details.

Professional, prompt response, high cost-performance ratio
5/5

A perfect itinerary with excellent value for money. I highly recommend visiting the Serengeti in May and experiencing a safari. It's truly unique in the world. The wildlife is unforgettable.

Serengeti African Tours as it bests.
5/5

Guide: excellent. Food: outstanding. Tour organization: very good. Wildlife experience: unforgettable.


Our safari was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. It began with a perfectly organized airport pickup and a comfortable transfer to the hotel, which set the tone for the days ahead.

The next day, we continued to Tarangire, where we enjoyed a wonderful first taste of Tanzania’s wildlife and landscapes. The following two days in the Serengeti were truly extraordinary. We experienced the endless plains, filled with thousands of wildebeest and zebras and were completely captivated by the beauty of the scenery and the abundance of animals. One of the absolute highlights was seeing baby cheetahs eating together with their mother — a very special and memorable moment.

We were also fortunate enough to spot two leopards in the Serengeti, which speaks highly of our guide Kelvin’s incredible experience. In Ngorongoro, we were able to see the last of the Big Five: the black rhino, completing an amazing safari wildlife experience.

On the fourth day, when I was feeling unwell, our guide handled the situation with great responsibility and care. He took me to the doctor and the pharmacy and made sure I was looked after properly, which I deeply appreciated.

Overall, the entire trip was fantastic, and I would especially like to thank our guide Kelvin and our chef cook Pascal for making this safari so special. I can highly recommend this experience.

I stayed in both the lodge and a tent. Both have their own unique charm and should be taken into consideration when booking.

We received great safari experience that we will never forget
5/5

In the end of February my family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children of 16 and 6 years old) had our first safari in Africa and it was amazing.
We had a private safari and everything was tailored according to our requests. One day before our safari we were met at the airport, provided a transfer to Arusha and had a tour around town and finally accompanied to our hotel. Then, on the first day, our guide Dikson picked us up and we started our adventure in Tarangire. Dikson told us about animals living in the park, about their habits, spices what they eat and how they hunt. During a lunch we planned our next day - what time we start, what animald we should expect to see etc. On the next day we visited Ngorongoro and on the third - lake Manyara where we were happy to see a leopard which was the last piece in out Big Five. On the last day we had late flight from Kilimanjaro so asked Dikson to help with useful time spending - he suggested to visit Maasai village and we agreed. That was another brilliant idea to witness how this tribe lives, we tried to understand their life style and preferences... sometimes it seemed like we were on pages of National Geografic magazine.
Thanks Dikson to let us see the perfect African Big Five and many other animals during our trip.
I booked safari three month in advance and before making a decision which tour operator to prefer I thoroughly compared packages tour companies offered to me and spent significant time to learn other travellers feedbacks. Finally I made a choice in favour of Serengati African tours and have been happy about that. Thanks Serengeti African, hope to see you again!

We traveled from Germany with Serengeti African Tours and had an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania. Visiting Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Conservation Area was absolutely amazing. Everything was well organized, our guide was excellent, and the wildlife experience exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended
