Expensive and unjustified
The price compared to competitors was expensive. The accommodation is mediocre (there was no hot water some nights) and the food is mediocre.

Were very happy for your honesty review, as we Utopia Safaris Ltd we wish to know when was your safari take place (dates) and which hotel you have stayed, your safari guide name and Vehicle.
We Sincerely apology for what happened.
Amazing and charming
Our guide was Exaud
An excellent and highly professional guide with a very charming personality. Has extensive knowledge about nature: vegetation, animals, their lifestyles and behavior, etc., as well as having extensive knowledge about the existing population; The different tribes, their traditions, their ways of life, etc. In addition to that, he knows every road and path in an extraordinary way. He is very sociable and attentive to the passengers' needs and requests. He is very good with logistics, he is connected with many guides and knowledgeable sources who update him in real time on the whereabouts of the animals and nature events.
Also Chris , his assistant , was a great guy very helpful with a great personality and he is very knowledgeable .

Best trip
We had the most incredible experience with Utopia Safari Agency. I will absolutely recommend this agency to everyone I know.
Everything was perfectly organized: transfers, park fees, accommodation, food.
We left with wonderful memories.
Thank you Exaud and the whole team for this unforgettable stay.

Excellent service to the last detail!
I travelled with a few friends from Germany with Utopia Safaris. The communication with Mr. Exaud starting from the planning phase until my departure was seamless and I was always assured of the best and the best is what I received!
Each individual as well as group requirement was taken care of -upto the last detail. For example, the team updated our family and friends back home about our daily itinerary along with pictures which not only helped our loved ones share some of our experiences virtually but also be aware of our whereabouts. The tour guides were friendly and experienced, always up for a good chat and a laugh. Each part of the Safari be it Tarangire, Ngorongoro or Serengeti was simply magical. We definitely left as friends at the end of the Safari. Post the safari, I was travelling alone in Zanzibar. Mr. Exaud and his team in Zanzibar, ensured that I was comfortable until my departure.
Utopia Safaris promised us the time of our life and delivered on that promise! I would highly recommend organising your time in Tanzania with the lovely team at Utopia.

Authentic East African Tour Company!
Mr. Exaud and his team at Utopia met all our expectations and then some!
We were a group of 8 adults from Germany and Utopia somehow managed to meet all our individual and group requirements whilst curating our Northern Tanzania Safari packages (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Manyara & Serengeti).
Speaking as a born and raised Tanzanian myself, I appreciated the warm Tanzanian hospitality, attention to detail, overall value for money and experienced tour guides! The communication before, during and even after the end of our safari was top notch and I can earnestly say we all had the time of our lives!
I do not see myself booking my next Safari with anyone else. Thank you so much Utopia!

Grate experience
We went with Terry, the owner of the company for a 5 day safari. We received his recommendation from a journalist. The tour was interesting and fascinating. In order to experience the safari in the best way and to see the landscape and the animals, the name of the game is to be in the right place at the right time. Terry's ability is virtuoso. managed to bring us to the heart of the animal migration, in places that most guides do not know. We were able to see the animals, the predators and the prey in action. It was spectacular. His acquaintance with the wild animals is almost intimate. The experience was great.

We had several wonderful safaris, with Exaud, he was the best tour guide ever.
We have visited Lake Nakuru and Naivasha, then toured right through the serengeti, a very long trip, but we saw all the big five and the migration before seeing the crater. Ndutu was probably the best when we witnessed the wildebeest carving and the watching Lions.
Wild camping was very well organised and catered for us. "Terry" Exaud was the best and most informed of guide, and great company,
We just wait for our next visit.

The best in all of Africa ✨
Traveling with Exaud and his company is the best experience in all of Tanzania. In one week alone, he found 8 leopards and I was able to photograph my favorite animal easily. Exaud’s charisma is part of what makes this trip so great. He’s funny, is the best spotter and knows how to get the most out of any game drive. I’ve traveled with him for over 14 years and he’s the first one I call.

Safari 2
This was our second Safari with Utopia. In 2021 we went on Safari with Utopia and had Exaud as our guide. He was great in fact so good that we booked again with Exaud once again for August - September of 2022 . The experience was just as spectacular this time. I highly recommend Utopia and the guide Exaud or Chris who was his understudy.

Exaud is a highly skilled and knowledgeable safari guide.
We had a great time driving through the “bush” in the Serengeti with Exaud as our guide. We loved our luxury tent lodging. Fantastic foods, sights and people. Highly recommend!
