Godwin is a fantastic safari guide and a great guy. I can't recommend him enough!
Our 5-day safari tour with Godwin was one of the best holiday experiences of my life. He was professional, extremely knowledgeable and even "talked" to the animals. He told us wonderful stories and imparted his African wisdom, which made for an even more enriching experience. We will definitely do another safari with Godwin and I would definitely recommend him and this company!

We had a great few days thanks to our guide, we saw animals no one else saw
Our guide made our safari. Thanks to him we saw animals other people didn't see - he was able to spot animals other guides were driving past. He would ensure we always had the best position to take photos and he even made the right animal sounds to get their attention so we could take photos of their faces every time - literally he would talk to the animals :)
We stayed in wonderful accommodation - the comfort, hospitality, food and professionalism was superb.
Our guide's safari knowledge was first class, he combined this with wonderful stories and a genuine care for our experience - all this with a lovely sense of humour - even on early game drives.

Eyes on Serengeti aren't your Safari Guides in Arusha, they are your family, 200% Recommended
The experience with Eyes on Serengeti was excellent, started with the way the reply the Inquire I did about to prepare an option for me and my family, adapting the plan to our schedule. The way they reply was very professional. Later the communication continued by Whatsapp, where we were able to clarify any doubt. The quotation was accepted and the transfer from my US Bank account was done to a one of the most reliable banks in Tanzania (Branch of Standard Bank) under the name of the company, not to a personal account.
The day before arrive in Kilimanjaro Airport, Richard (Mkishia) started to write me to knew if we arrived well in Dar es Salaam (coming from Mozambique) and to confirm that him and Lumumba Emanuel will be at the airport right on time at the moment we landed.
As they promised, they were there, with the Fantastic Toyota modified for the best Safari experience, and noticed that before this safari, we took several safaris in Kruger Park.
They offered two trips, the first one was to visit lake Manyara, the second was to visit the Ngorongoro Crater, is where the migration of animals start or finish between this place and Masai Mara in Kenya, passing through Serengeti park. In addition, the two options to sleep booked by the company were more than great.
I want to thanks Richard and Lumumba for their professionalism, friendly treatment, the nice conversation and the knowledge of the area. I cannot do less that recommended 200%. This company provide and excellent and trustable services. Asante Sana.

Amazing team and unique experience
We really enjoyed our short safari through Manyara and Tarangire parks. We were happily surprised to visit the parks practically alone and we saw all types of animals and amazing landscapes. Everything worked smoothly and the places we stayed at were great.
The driver did a great job at explaining everything, took great care of us and always managed to find view spots with no other jeeps!
Highly recommended!
Thanks to the entire Eyes On Serengeti team, we hope to see you again soon!

The peace of mind you need on a safari trip
I went to Serengueti and Ngorongoro with my father for 6 days. It was incredible: we saw lions and lionesses chilling in the plains after indulgence; an elephant herd with several babies playing on mud during a rainstorm (which kept us from crossing the road for 20min!); a leopard family climbing a tree to take a nap on its branches; the serenity of a lonely rhino in the fields; a real cheetah hunt right across the road (the little deer escaped 5 hungry felines); hippos fighting beneath surface to keep their territories; and thousands (if not millions - not an exaggeration) of zebras, giraffes, buffalos, impalas and (especially) wildebeests.
At first, I was concerned with logistics. Living in Brazil, we know stories of trips that go wrong given the expectations/reality spread when you visit such remote places. Everything can be a problem: language barrier, lack of infrastructure, unbearable food, mosquitos, the climate...
It all boils down to trust. You have to trust that the local travel agency will take care of you. And Eyes on Serengueti did that. They took care of everything. Given the year-end/pre-vacation hurry at work, I had little communication prior to the trip with Richard (one of the partners of EOS). But he was referenced by a friend, who gave me the confidence to move forward.
Our guide, Lumumba, was very knowledgeable, a good driver (essential given the bumpy roads - aka “African Massage”) and a great company. I was positively surprised by the quality of the lodges in Serengueti (Kati Kati Camp - super friendly people, very decent infrastructure for a camping site, and surprisingly delicious food!) and took a very invigorating massage (a real one) in our last stay (Planet Lodge - right next to the airport as our flight was pretty early in the morning). We had an issue with the WiFi in our stay at the Farm House (its usually terrible anywhere - don’t expect much connectivity during this trip - but it was especially bad there) and maybe not the best logistics as it’s a little far from the crater entrance. But overall, service levels really surprised me.
Eyes on Serengueti is a relatively new agecy. Richard used to work in a company that operates several hotels and camps in the region and started the business this year I suppose - that’s why they have so little reviews here. But I couldn’t recommend them more.

The Experience was very nice and smooth, with expectations reached fully
Since the beginning, communications were precise and helpful. The service as a Whole was Always reliable and kind. the Safari itself was a great experience, especially due to the expertise of our guide, mr Goodwin. He was able to provide us with great opportunities to contemplate wildlife very well. I highly reccomend the Eyes on serengeti services.

A unique experience that I will never forget.
We decided to visit Tanzania and the Serengeti and after a good few hours of research on the web, we booked a 6 day 5 night safari with Eyes on Serengeti. There were not many reviews for the company, as they are relatively new, but the communication was good and we felt that Richard designed our trip especially for us, taking into consideration where most animals would be in mid January.
We were met from the airport on arrival, and taken to our first lodge where we were briefed by Richard and Godwin. Both had excellent English, and after speaking with them for a short while all our concerns were gone, we knew we were going to get on, and we were excited about our trip ahead.
We set off in a modern, Toyota land cruiser with Safari roof and fridge, which was more than spacious as it was only the two of us. Our first stop was the Tarangire National park, which was an amazing introduction into safaris. We saw elephants bathing at the waterhole, others rolling in mud with their young having fun oblivious to us watching from just a few metres away. There were giraffes grazing beside the land cruiser, ostrich wandering past and a lioness in the tree.
Our next stop was the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, our first view was from the edge of the crater and is an African experience I will never forget. Our drive down just got better, passing Masai villages until we arrived at the crater floor where we saw lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalos, hippopotamus and much more.
Lake Masak was our next stop, another fantastic landscape, partially forested with grasslands, and a great spot for a game drive Our highlights were a cheetah with her three cubs, and a pack of lions. We were within a couple of metres of all these animals, yet felt safe at all times in the hands of Godwin our guide.
Our last two days were spent in the Serengeti, which is another world. We found ourselves in the middle of the great plains, not another toyota in sight, driving through the wilder beasts and zebras, discovering more and more lions, cheats and hyenas. We could have leaned out of the window and stroked a male lion, we were so close.
Godwin has 20 years of experience as a guide, he is a wonderful human being who is informative, funny and I think he really enjoys his job. He can also spot a great photograph and many times he positioned the toyota ready for the animals to walk into shot.
He made our safari a unique experience that I will never forget.
