5/5

Outstanding tour! We would like to thank Raymond from Serengeti Landmark Tours and Andrew and Salim from Meru Slopes Tours for a well coordinated and ran tour. We had an excellent time! Everything went very smoothly. We saw so many different animals, including all of the Big Five. Big shout out to Andrew, our guide, for making our trip. It was a very memorable and fun tour! We saw lots of trees...lol (inside joke). Salim's food was very delicious, and Raymond made sure we never had a worry. Highly recommend this trip.

Overpromise, underdeliver...
2/5

I recently completed a safari with Serengeti Landmark and unfortunately, my experience did not meet expectations.

We booked the trip 4–5 months in advance after being advised by Raymond (the manager) that accommodation, particularly luxury tents, tends to fill up during peak season. However, on the night we arrived in Serengeti National Park, we were unexpectedly taken to a basic bush campsite rather than the tented camp listed in our itinerary. Only after raising the issue was it clarified that we were meant to stay at Engrigerata Camp. This seemed to come as a surprise to our guide, who appeared visibly frustrated and upset by the situation. We were asked to "wait" without much communication, and were eventually told to get back into the vehicle and driven to the correct site. Although we did end up at the right camp, the experience left us feeling confused and unsettled.

There were also delays entering Serengeti National Park. On the first day, we waited for about an hour outside the park gate because the entry payment hadn’t been processed. The following day, we faced another delay due to an additional concession fee for the camp that also needed to be settled on the spot.

We also noticed recurring inconsistencies in timing. On multiple occasions, the guide would mention a 20-minute break, only to return after nearly an hour. While sometimes said in jest (“African time”), this created planning issues and added to our overall frustration.

Our itinerary included an Arusha city tour on the first day, but this appeared to be forgotten until I reminded Raymond. The tour was eventually arranged, but toward the end, we felt pressured to purchase artwork from the guide, who declined a tip and instead insisted on us buying a painting worth around $20. Later that evening, Raymond joined us for dinner at his own suggestion, mentioning it was his birthday. We wouldn’t normally mind, but in hindsight—given the service issues and delays—it felt a bit awkward when he added his takeaway pizza to our bill.

There were also a few other inconsistencies between what was communicated beforehand and what was delivered, though too many to list in detail here.

In summary, while Raymond was responsive and professional in the planning stages—which initially gave us confidence—the execution of the trip fell short. A safari in Tanzania is a significant financial and emotional investment for many travelers, often a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I believe more attention to detail and clearer communication would have made a big difference.

Super helpful and eager to make it the best experience!
5/5

From 21-24 June 2025 (4days/3nights) we enjoyed a camping tour through Tarangire national park, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater organized by Serengeti landmark tours. We could not have hoped for a better experience! In total we saw so many animals: the big five (elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard), zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, ostrich, flamingoes, impalas, waterbok, dik dik, cheetahs, hippos, hyenas, warthogs, baboons, gazelles, jackals, eland and probably even more that I forgot. Our guide (Samuel) and cook (Dullah) were so helpful and kind, during the evenings we also had dinner together which we enjoyed a lot. Both Samuel and Dullah did everything in their power to make it the best experience, we want to thank the crew once again for the amazing experience!

A once in lifetime magical experience
5/5

It was our first safari and we were really excited about it. Raymond was very helpful from the very beginning, and replied really fast all our questions. When we arrived in Arusha, he helped us to get a SIM card for internet connection. He also arranged all the transport: pick up and drop off from the airport. Regarding the safari it was truly an amazing experience and it was more magical than we expected. A once in life time experience. We had an amazing guide and drive Andrew who has a huge expertise on the wildlife and parks. With Andrew we managed to see all the big 5 which was on our list. We saw lions from very up close on all the 4 days of safari and it was truly magical. Andrew has 25 years of experience and has a huge respect for the animals. Regarding the food we had an amazing chef, Buga. He cooked for us everyday and we had a variety of dishes. We had 3 meals everyday and all the dishes were beyond our expectations, super delicious and fresh. I want to thank you Buga, Andrew and Raymond for the amazing experience, it was a childhood dream that came true and we are definitely coming back.

Very nice guys
5/5

We have just returned from a 6 day safari with Serengeti Landmark Tours, we went with the company due to their good reviews and it did not disappoint , from booking to the safari itself the experience and service was excellent. Our guide was very knowledgable and addressed any concerns immediately- we were able to see everything apart from a leopard (not without the guide trying, nobody else saw one either) including lions hunting , our chef was amazing and the food was great. The alcohol included was also a great touch as many other budget safaris didn’t have this. Overall myself and my mate would 100% recommend this company if you are looking for a good safari.

Unique experience
5/5

We had an unbelievable experience with Serengeti Landmark Tours!
We can only recommend this tour company. From the morning start until the sunset, we saw animals non-stop, what a dream!
Our guide impressed us with all his knowledge, from plants to birds, clouds to mountains, and always ready to answer our questions.
We learnt so much about the wildlife, it felt like we’d been making a documentary in real time. We felt safe and cosy from the journeys to the camps. The food was tasty and fresh and there were great vegetarian options available.
Overall top notch customer service and a beautiful all-round experience!!

4/5




We booked a shared safari with Serengeti Landmark Tours and were very satisfied.
Raymond Ayo responded quickly to our questions.

The tour was wonderful, and we saw a lot of animals. The highlights were:
1. A large group of zebras—we were completely surrounded! I don’t know how many there were, but I think almost more than 500, including little ones.
2. A lion eating a wildebeest.
3. A group of wildebeests and zebras crossing the road—it felt like the Great Migration.
4. The stunning scenery and the drive into the Ngorongoro Crater—just amazing; what a wonderful world!
Clifford, our driver/guide, did his absolute best to make sure we saw all the animals, including multiple lion sightings. He is an excellent driver and guide, very friendly, and always attentive to our comfort.
Kelvin, our cook, put great effort into making our meals delicious. Every morning, he baked fresh pancakes and bread. His cooking made our experience even better, and he was also very friendly.
We are very grateful to both of them!
