Eyes on Serengeti are so professional and everything ran very smoothly.
We did a 5 night and 6 day safari with Eyes on Serengeti in January 2020 and it was absolutely unbelievable beautiful.
While planning our trip and after searching through the web and contacting several safari operators we chose Eyes on Serengeti.
They were the most prompt and detailed in their replies and they were more than happy to assist with personalising a private safari experience for 2, as we already had a rough itinerary worked out of places we wished to visit.
On arrival at Kilimanjaro airport we were greeted by Richard, one of the owners, who we were in constant contact with through WhatsApp, before and during the safari. When we met we straight away got on very well, he’s just a really nice guy.
The next day we set off and first visit was the Tarangire National Park where we saw many animals though mostly I enjoyed watching the elephants taking a bath in a large pond which was such fun.
Then Ngorongoro Crater and Conservation Area for a day, next day to Lake Masek and 2 days in the Serengeti plains. All of them are astonishing places.
There is quite a bit of driving between the parks, as they’re all a few hours apart, but our Toyota Landcruiser was modern, very clean and well maintained. The top popped up so that you could stand and see all around you and the extra hight really gives you a better view.
Godwin is exceptional, he is so familiar with all the wildlife and could anticipate how the animals would behave which meant that he always managed to steer our jeep into prime viewing position. I don’t know how he did it, but he was able to spot animals from very far distances as he was manoeuvring the jeep over very bumpy roads. He has a very good knowledge on all the different wildlife and ecosystems and answered our question about the culture, government and history of Tanzania, too.
I guess the wildlife sightings will be different for every trip depending on what’s around, but we literally got to see every animal we could have wished to see: giraffes, elephants, hippos, and even rhinos. As we were there for the migration we saw many many zebras, gazelles, wildebeests and cheetahs, hyenas and lions following them.
Godwin was great at knowing where to look for specific animals and gave us plenty of time once we spotted them to take pictures and observe. It really was amazing to see these animals out in the wild.
Eyes on Serengeti offers a variety of different accommodations at various price levels. We found our choices, to be pristine - some had showers open to the sky, I thought this was great.
The food was delicious and plenty and beer and wine was also included in the room rate. The staff and service is outstanding, the Tanzanians are all so friendly, welcoming and accommodating.
Overall it was an absolutely unforgettable trip.
I cannot recommend Eyes on Serengeti more highly! They were always responsive and helpful with all our crazy questions. They were so professional and everything ran very smoothly.

The best of the best
This was my second time traveling in Tanzania and Kenya. There is no tour operator more professional, caring, competent, or connected. Really, don’t look further, because you won’t find better.

One of the Great Trips of my Life
Richard was absolutely impeccable at communicating and working closely with me to plan the trip to my precise liking. I am a seasoned traveler from USA, so I had high expectations on this trip. I went on an 8 day private safari trip with him, and everything was thoroughly planned and catered at every step of the way. He picked me up from the airport and from there explained in great detail what was going to transpire over the next 8 days. He entrusted me with a very intelligent and knowledgeable guide, also named Richard, who was able to answer almost any question I threw at him for the 8 days. The journey included stays within the safari camps, and always witnessing the Great Migration. The safari vehicle was in great condition, and the food provided each day was prepared by each of the camps during the safari trips. This is something that no other safari camps provided. Normally they were given boxed lunch, but I had fresh, hot food. Coffee and tea were available throughout the safari journey and every day I was able to enjoy my meals with an impromptu picnic in the raw bush. What I loved most was that he truly cared about my well-being and he went over and beyond to make sure my stay was special, including providing a free upgrade at two of the facilities. Do not choose any other company if you want to be sure you have the most spectacular experience in Tanzania! 5 star company, without a doubt.

Safari without worries
I would like to share my experience I had with Eyes On Serengeti Safaris & Tours. I booked a 6 Day private Safari tour in Tanzania to see African wildlife for the first time.
Eyes On Serengeti is a small and still new company. The owner and manager Richard was very responsive both in e-mail as well as on whatsapp during the tour. He organized the tour and accommodations and made sure everything runs smoothly. Any question or doubts I had were addressed promptly.
My tour guide, also named Richard, was very professional and knowledgable. He put a lot of effort in making me comfortable during the trip. He is calm, polite, helpful and very excited about spotting wildlife. He is also able to adjust to the needs of the guest, communicates fluently in English and informed about the program of the day. He is taking care of the guests and drives very responsibly.
Overall, the standard of service that was provided was consistently on a very high level. Especially in current times of worldwide pandemic, I was grateful to have chosen a reliable tour operator. I would definitely book with Eyes in Serengeti again and recommend Richard as tour guide. Thanks to both Richards for making my stay in Tanzania such a positive experience!

It was a last minute plan and he managed to arrange our trip in less than a day with no hassle and very convenient for us
I will definitely do it again and only with eyes on serengeti because they are the best and they give the best service

WHEN TRUE LUXURY ALSO HIDES IN THE DETAILS
Back from a wonderful trip to Tanzania, we already know that we will return to find the Eye on Serengeti team. It has been perfect.
Superb comfortable lodges, offering meals of rare quality, two ingredients for a luxurious trip but at more than affordable prices.
The real luxury is Richard's availability, responsiveness and attention before and during the trip. Taylor made! He was attentive to all our requests, and carried them out.
The real luxury is also Leonard, a guide, a real one... Cultivated, a great expert of the local fauna and flora, it has allowed us to approach with great respect, lions, hyenas, zebras, elephants, heaps of antelopes and, more difficult and more infrequent, cheetahs. We were even able to witness a mating of elephants and another of lions. Big emotion, the birth and the first steps of a wildebeest. All this thanks to a guide who does not hesitate to think outside the box.
We often travel and especially to Africa on our own and we were a little afraid of this stay. We came back in love. The country, its landscapes, its inhabitants, its fauna, its flora and this agency...

Exceptionally knowledgeable, well prepared and helpful.
Richard and EOS facilitated our arrival, reception, lodging and the safari in a professional and friendly manner throughout… even during COVID. The safari was EXCELLENT as our driver knew the most likely areas to observe the Big Five and other wildlife. He made himself available via email, phone and WhatsApp. Great service, highest endorsement!!

Phenomenal experience!
We started researching a safari almost one year before going. I was having trouble finding smaller, local operators to work with. This site connected me with small companies which I liked. Richard is very responsive and answered all of our many questions throughout the trip. We did an 8 day trip which included Tarangire, Ngorogoro Crater and the Serengeti. Richard was prompt in greeting us at the airport and provided us with an amazing guide with tons of experience. I would recommend Eyes on Serengeti 10 out of 10.
