Good value for money, offering a great mid-range safari
4/5

We had a really great experience on a 4-day mid-range safari with Serengeti Luxury Safaris. Noel was responsive and helpful from the start and our guide Philemon was great, he made us feel welcome and safe and worked hard to make sure we see as many animals as possible - which we did! He was also very positive and friendly throughout. Accommodation, food and services during the safari were also very good.

Some minor hiccups did occur which made us give 4 instead of 5 stars - Arusha accommodation changed without us knowing, there were some unexpected pricing issues and some delays due to the car breaking down and one road being blocked due to heavy rains. These were outside of our guide's control, however, and he did his best to ensure this didn't affect our safari too much and we did manage to see everything we wanted and more. All in all a great experience, good value for money and we are very grateful to both Noel and Philemon for the wonderful experience. Would definitely do it again.
Asante sana!

Trustfully.
4/5

I had a lifetime experience doing this 4 days safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, you are guaranteed to see so many animals in theirs natural habitat, depending on the right season, the landscapes and the wildlife are breathtaking, staying at nice lodges. Staying inside the Serengeti National park is quite extreme, you will be surrounded by wild animals just outside the lodge, hearing lions, hyenas and hippos walking around in the evening and night but you will be taken care of.
I will absolutely recommend this tour to whom are looking for amazing adventures, but be aware not taking big baggage with you.

Very easy to work with
4/5

We booked a 4-day safari with Serengeti Luxury Safaris in June. Noel was very easy to talk to and informative. We had a "snag" in our flight and missed a connection due to a delay. Noel, still made a point to make the best out of the remaining days. The tour driver really tried to make sure we were able to see a variety of animals. I would highly recommend using this company because they made things a lot easier for us.

Good combination of safari with a really good guide
4/5

I would have given 5 stars, but the coordination and organisation of the first two days was a bit confusing. Too much different people in different hotels. So I got late to my dinner at the first night. The tour itself was perfect. I have seen all big 5 and lots of cats. The parcs are amazing and the lodges great. I booked the luxury tour and it was. The guide tried to reach all of our needs. Thanks for that.

Once in a Lifetime Safari Experience
4/5

We had a lovely guide who explained everything professionally.
We saw A LOT of various animals. ALL big 5!
The wildlife and the landscape was marvellous!

All of the lodges were beautiful, however we did not see a lot of it. We always arrived very late.

In total we did the safari with 7 people. We were split into 4 ppl who did loging and 3 who did camping. Due to this we lost a lot of time.

Other than that we loved the Safari and this unique experience.
The communication with the company was very easy an reliable.

Great communication and service
4/5

Noel was amazing and very helpful in everything around the safari admin as well as getting around Arusha.
The actual safari was great, only one note, it felt a bit intrussive when “chasing” a cheetah.
Apart from that the whole experience was great and surely recommended.
As a note for the food, quantities could be slightly bigger and would appreciate some snacks for the car.

Noel is energetic and professional . He responded our requests and questions promptly.
5/5

He answered our request of the safari trip right after I summited my inquiry. All my questions were answered. Our plan has been changed slightly and he explained clearly and honestly. We are supposed to stay in rent all three nights and we ended up only one night in tent without any extra pay. After the Safari trip he showed us around in Arusha. He is funny and easy to get along .

4 day Tanzania Safari: Local operator raised in a Masai tribe.
5/5

This being our 3rd trip to Safari in Africa we didn't think it could possibly get any better, we were pleasantly surprised because we were even more spoiled by the terrific timing of unique animal sighting experiences, wonderful weather, and our magnificent driver/guide Mahlisa who was very personable and spoke English clearly. Realizing the weather and animals are not in our control keeps us humble in how fortunate we were to have the best of both, and getting assigned to a guide with 16 years experience certainly helped get us to the right place at the right time on many occasions. Our decision to choose the mid range package of accommodations was perfect for us. Our lodging experience went from the least luxurious to the most, however; the itinerary wasn't originally set up that way as it was changed due to a group that cancelled their trip. No complaint on our end for that! Upon arrival we stayed one night at Karibu Heritage before starting our Safari, and one night after finishing our Safari - Not impressed with their lack of adherence to time commitments. When you tell them you are getting picked up at 6:30 a.m. and are assured you can have breakfast at 6 a.m. don't expect the cook to arrive until 6:30 and you eat while your jeep waits! Happened twice at that hotel, but the accommodations were fine. Shuhudia Adventure Tented Lodge was nice as far as luxury tent camping goes. Clean and comfortable bed, bathroom in your tent with a shower, hot water and enough pressure to get the water through the pipes, but don't expect a massaging shower head. Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge had good food in a nice lodge and the room had a nice view of the jungle and a back deck to relax on. Be forwarned, if it rains, the metal roof makes it sound a lot worse than it is. We were worried about the tent campers traveling with us because of what we thought was a torrential downpour at night and they hardly new it rained! Our last night was the best at Marera Valley Lodge for comfort and a pool. Staff was accommodating and the lodge was very well kept and clean. Bookending our trip was the tour operator Nole. After picking us up at the airport upon our arrival, informing us of itinerary changes he left us in the hands of our Driver/guide Mahlissa. At the conclusion of our tour Nole helped us arrange a day trip to the Materuni Falls and Coffee plantation where we ground and roasted our own beans for coffee and had lunch, then dropped us back at the airport. He was in contact with us before our arrival and kept us informed about any changes, as well as helped with any info we needed along the way. His love for his job shows through his actions and his desire to educate about the Masai culture and history was an added bonus for us. What we paid for the trip was well worth it for us.

Unforgettable experience
5/5

We did midrange 4 days Tarangire- Serengeti-Ngorongoro safari and thought it started with a misunderstanding, we eventually had an unforgettable experience. Both Noel and our driver Jerom did their best to ensure that we see as many animals as possible, be accomodated in the good places and have fun. Noel even spent a half of a day at the airport waiting to receive our lost luggage while were doing our safari. Thanks for everything! Should we come back for safari in Tanzania, Serengeti Luxury Safaris will definitely be our first choice.
