Very friendly,helpful and resourceful group.
We did a self drive and covered several safari parks so mostly where in our oven, but When we had trouble with car due to tough roads, they where there to help and solved the problem we remotely and quickly through their expert connections. They even offered to send a mechanic to the park but luckily our problem was not severe and we were on to continue on to next town where we got taken care of. Highly recommend them.

Excellent
The husband and I were picked up by Steve, our driver and guide, who was outstanding.
He drove us to Serengeti and the crater
Steve made every attempt to ensure that we saw all the wildlife possible.
Very knowledgeable , polite and understanding.
Will definitely recommend him as your guide and driver.
Thank you Steve for an enjoyable safari

Responsible, punctual, knowledgeable, attentive
At the Kenyan/Tanzanian border in Isebania, Steven Kilonzlo from Raven Safaris picked us up. They were subcontracted by Hyrax Safaris from Kenya, with whom we had made reservations for a nine-day safari that included stops in the Masai Mara NP (Hyrax), Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro Crater (with Raven from Arusha). Steven is a fantastic driver who has a wealth of local information. He drove us first to the most amazing areas of the Northwestern Serengeti and showed us what the park is actually about after realising that we didn't want to join the big cats chasing trucks. In terms of birds, plants and trees, tribes and history, he was like an encyclopaedia. Then, as we went along the Tanzanian part of the Mara River, we suddenly found ourselves encircled by countless wildebeests. In the Central Serengeti we observed lions and hippos mating. Most of time we were alone. Steven didn’t have to communicate with other guides to find out the locations of wild life. He just knew where to go. Once when we accidentally stumbled upon a big group of trucks watching a cheetah from a distance, he didn’t stay, he just took off, drove several minutes, then pulled over and that same cheetah slowly crossed the road right in front of us. I can go on and on. Highly recommended.

Excellent safari guide
Rajabu of Raven Safaris was excellent and helped to make our Tanzanian safari experience so memorable. Rajabu was very knowledgeable and readily shared his vast knowledge with interesting information about the wildlife we were seeing. He was personable, a very competent driver and even ensured we had new water every morning. The safari jeep had a pop up roof which facilitated wildlife viewing and had a place to charge our IPhone when our battery got low from taking so many pictures. In Tanzania, we went to the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Tarangire National Park and did a Tanzanian cultural visit which included an African lunch. We especially enjoyed the Serengeti National Park.

Six Days, Three Parks in Tanzania
My wife and I went on a six day private photo safari in Tanzania with Raven Safaris. We were met at the border with Kenya by our guide Chambuso who helped us negotiate the immigration process into Tanzania then drove us to our first stop in Serengeti NP for 3 Days. the several hour drive to our tented camp (Heritage) was also a game drive where we saw plenty of animals including a small lake with active hippos then topped off by a beautiful leopard that walked right next to our vehicle. The Serengeti was amazing where on the. first full day game drive we saw another leopard, numerous lions and 10-11 cheetahs. Also, the wildebeest and zebra had migrated to the central Serengeti which attracted predators. We witnessed three cheetahs take down a large wildebeest and another female cheetah with her daughter catch a rabbit for dinner. The second full day we drove to the northern part of the park which at this time had much fewer animals. The third day we drove to Ngorongoro NP which was teeming with animals and bird life. It was also where Chambuso spotted our first treeclimbing lion. At night we stayed at the Farm of Dreams Lodge which is spectacular (highly recommended). The last two days in Tanzania where spent in Tarangire NP with an afternoon game dive and an all day game drive. Our nights were at the Burunge tented lodge (very nice property with a huge outdoor dining area overlooking Lake Mayanara). Again we were treated to herds of elephants, zebra, giraffes and tree climbing lions and leopard. Our last day Mr Chambuso drove us back to the border with Kenya to meet up with our Kenyan guide. Mr. Chambuso was an excellent guide, driver and wildlife spotter who was with us during all our waking hours. We could not have asked for anyone better to have been with us.

They makes me relaxed and happy.
Njury sana. Raven bring me paradise. The guide and cooker always make me feel comfortable and relaxed.
They connect nice camping site, pick me up from hotel to safari, give me nice dishes.
And reasonable price. I recommand you safari with Raven.
I did 5day in safari. But I think 2days in Serengeti is too short. So I recommend at reast 3~4days in Serengeti.
Raven helps me not only safari but also ticketing to go another place.
Good company. You can trust them.

Our guide (Steven) was fantastic.
We had a fantastic time. The guide really worked hard to help us find the animals that we were looking for. We loved the places that we stayed in and had a great time.
Kili+Safari
We booked a Kilimanjaro trek and a 4-day safari. The Kilimanjaro trek was great, we went on the Marungu route with Mango as the chief guide. The crew was great and helped us a lot with missing cold gear and addressing difficulties with altitude. We did a 4-day join safari (shared the vehicle with other people), 2.5 days Serengeti and 1.5 days at Ngorongoro Crater. The driver/guide was patient and very good at spotting wildlife. The food was great for both the trek and the safari, the chefs adjusted for our dietary restriction. Transfers in and out of the airport were smooth. Definitely recommend. Good value overall.

An awesome experience with Raven Safaris.
It was a great trip to Tarangire National Park. A great service by Raven Safaris. The driver, Mr. Steven is a very experienced driver, very humble and kind, who would go an extra mile to make sure you get value for money and that you have enjoyed to the max. Very flexible on timings as per the convenience of the visitors. Thank you Steven and Raven Safaris.
