A absolute great expierence!
Our 7-day safari was excellent and perfectly organized. Sudi (owner of Dendea Safari) showed us all the fantastic animals and the beautiful scenery. He's very approachable, and you can ask him anything you want, and he arranges it. I can only say that we felt comfortable and safe with Sudi! So if you're still not sure about booking a safari at Dendea, I'd highly recommend it!

nice, very sincere
Sudi is our guide, he is very sincere, polite and careful. His driving skills is good, when rainy in seregeti, the road is becoming difficult to drive, but we pass smoothly. And also in the journey,science popularization like the habits of animals, he will tell us initiatively. And he never ask for rest. The arrangement of journey is reasonable, no time is wasted.

Fun and easy safari!
Our safari week with Mr. Sudi was a really nice experience from start to finish. Everything felt easy and well planned, which allowed us to relax and enjoy each day. Chef Peeta prepared good, comforting meals, just what you want after long days on safari.

The trip of a lifetime – perfectly organized by Dendea Safaris & Sudi
We did a 12-day safari with Dendea Safaris and can honestly say: this was the trip of a lifetime.
We visited all the major highlights of Tanzania — Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara — and everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The itinerary felt well balanced and relaxed, with a great mix of driving, wildlife experiences and time to truly enjoy each place.
Our guide Sudi was one of the main reasons this trip was so special. He is extremely reliable, communicates clearly and thinks things through very well. The overall service was excellent and the entire journey felt professional and carefully arranged. Any small adjustments or coordination along the way were handled smoothly, which made traveling with him very comfortable and stress-free.
What made this safari even more special was that it offered more than just game drives. We also did a hike on Mount Kilimanjaro up to the first camp, which was a fantastic and active addition to the trip. In addition, we enjoyed a beautiful walk to a waterfall, adding variety and showing that Tanzania has so much more to offer beyond safari alone.
The accommodations were wonderful and very diverse: from beautiful, luxurious lodges to atmospheric tented camps. That variety made the experience even richer. We also ate extremely well everywhere.
Sudi is also simply great company: calm, pleasant to travel with, and incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife. He spots things you would never see on your own and takes the time to explain what you are seeing. And we were incredibly lucky — we witnessed a buffalo kill by lions, saw cheetahs with cubs, many lions, and truly an incredible amount of wildlife. Everything you could hope to see.
Above all, the trip was just so much fun. Relaxed, impressive and full of unforgettable moments.
Thanks to Dendea Safaris, and especially Sudi, we look back on a safari that exceeded all our expectations. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience Tanzania in a truly special and well-organized way.

An absolutely perfect trip！
I booked my trip to Tanzania with Dendea a year in advance for this February. They provided an excellent itinerary at a fair price, and managed to secure hotels that are usually very hard to reserve. When the sunset cocktail activity was cancelled, they refunded us without any hassle.
Our guide Walter was fantastic—he could spot so many animals, was caring and kind, and even helped other guides. In the end, we saw all of the Big Five.
Highly recommended!

Journey of surprises and happiness
This trip was our honeymoon. After extensive online comparisons we chose Dendea Safari, and it proved to be the right decision. Our eight-day itinerary included Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu and the Ngorongoro Crater. We had close-up encounters with many animals, such as lions, cheetahs, leopards and rhinos, capturing unforgettable photos.
Sudi was our guide—a highly professional local expert. In addition to arranging safari activities, he also took us to explore the cities of Arusha and Karatu, visited Maasai markets, and helped us find a currency exchange with favorable rates. The vehicle was stocked with ice water, cola and snacks. He even thoughtfully prepared a bottle of wine for our honeymoon. He also brought along a Chinese guidebook on African wildlife, which greatly enhanced our journey and helped us learn about many new animals.
Of course, the journey wasn’t without its challenges. My husband fell ill with gastroenteritis midway. As February and March are the rainy season in Tanzania, the slippery roads led to encounters with heavy floods, multiple vehicle stucks, and even getting lost during camp relocations. Fortunately, thanks to Sudi’s extensive experience, all difficulties were smoothly resolved. We are both deeply grateful to him.
I am more than happy to recommend Dendea Safari to anyone planning a safari here. After all, surprises and unexpected moments are part of the journey—embrace and enjoy them!
