Great safari - all Perfect!
We did a 7-day safari in August and we really appreciated the support from the whole team. From Edward, who helped us organize the trip, to Aloisi, our guide, who made it truly special! Aloisi was amazing at spotting animals, always positive and always doing his best to accommodate all our requests.
We also really appreciated the lodges - always clean, beautiful, and with great food. A special mention to the Classic Lodge in Karatu and the Serengeti Migration Camp.

Wonderful
We had an absolutely wonderful five days with Amshar Serengeti Adventures. The hotels were clean, the food was delicious, and even though we were on safari, everything was very comfortable and we had everything we needed.
A special thank you to our guide, Dickson. He always took us to the best spots to see the animals and made the whole experience even more amazing. Thanks to him, we captured all of Big5.
We were extremely satisfied with the tour and had an unforgettable time!

Excellent ! Every thing was great and everyone was so nice
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Amshar Serengeti Adventures. The trip was completely worth the price, and Leoni organized everything perfectly from start to finish. Everything was smooth, well planned, and very professional.
Loth was an excellent guide: extremely kind, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made the safari even more special with his expertise and passion, and we learned so much from him.
The hotels were wonderful, comfortable, and beautifully chosen. And of course, the safari itself was absolutely fantastic, an unforgettable experience with amazing wildlife and breathtaking landscapes.
We highly recommend Amshar Serengeti Adventures. Thank you to Leoni and Loth for making this trip so special!

Excellent service, great communication, and an unforgettable safari experience.
We had an excellent experience with Amshar Serengeti Adventures from start to finish. Leoni was extremely responsive throughout the booking process and always answered all our questions clearly and patiently, which made everything very easy and reassuring.
The safari itself was incredible, largely thanks to our guide, Loth. He always did everything possible to make sure we were comfortable and had the best possible experience. He was also very friendly and kind, and we shared some truly great moments together. We are very grateful to him for making our safari so memorable.
We highly recommend Amshar Serengeti Adventures and would happily choose them again!

Fantastic safari with Amshar
A fantastic and unforgettable experience.
Excellent organization, helpfulness, and kindness from the staff and guides, always ready to help with any problems or information.
Our guides, Erick and Louis, were especially impeccable.
The jeep ride was always safe and comfortable!
Thanks to their experience, we were able to fully explore the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Areas and see all the wildlife possible!
Furthermore, the price/quality ratio was excellent (we chose a mid-range private safari with domestic flights included).
I highly recommend an experience with this company!!!
Thanks to everyone!
Thanks to everyone!
Asante!

Lacks organization and needs consistency in services
We recently booked a safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro, followed by a few days in Zanzibar, through Amshar Travel Agency, with destinations we personally selected (Mara River, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Villa Kiva Hotel in Zanzibar).
Overall, the wildlife experience and destinations were absolutely outstanding. Serengeti in August is incredible, and we were lucky enough to witness the Mara River crossing of the wildebeest migration, along with a huge variety of wildlife. The safari experience itself exceeded expectations.
Our safari guide, Major, was excellent throughout the trip. He drove safely, had a great knowledge of wildlife, and shared interesting information without being intrusive. He struck a very good balance between explaining things and giving us privacy, and was consistently patient and professional. A big credit to him.
The safari vehicle was suitable for game drives inside the parks—spacious and comfortable. However, on normal roads it felt quite old and slow.
There were, however, some organizational issues at the start of the trip. Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, we were met by a driver (not our safari guide) who was supposed to take us to Arusha for a same-day flight to Kogatende Airstrip in northern Serengeti. Unfortunately, the agency had not communicated the flight details or timing to him. When we arrived at the airport, the driver was unsure about the situation and even asked if we had the tickets.
This created confusion and stress, and only at that point did we receive the airline booking confirmation via WhatsApp from the agency. We then realized we had only about 30 minutes until boarding. Despite going through security and trying to make it, we unfortunately missed the flight.
The agency did try to resolve the situation afterwards, and arranged for us to be taken to a hotel in Arusha, with a new flight scheduled for the next morning. As a result, we lost half a day of our safari itinerary. While apologies were given, there was no form of compensation or gesture offered for the inconvenience.
The hotel in Arusha was average, slightly unorganized, and the food was also below expectations.
The following day, everything continued smoothly and we began the safari properly with Major.
The camps during the safari were mid-range tented camps. Heritage Mara Camp was decent but fairly average. Kon Tiki Serengeti Camp was excellent, both in comfort and overall experience. Ngorongoro Wild Camp was acceptable, but located quite far from the crater without a clear advantage to justify the long drive.
Food quality varied depending on the camp, since breakfast and dinner were taken there, while lunch was provided as boxed meals during the day. The lunch boxes did not match what was described in the itinerary (which mentioned more “fine dining” picnic-style meals), and were quite basic overall. Kon Tiki Camp offered the best food experience among the camps.
In Zanzibar, Villa Kiva Hotel fully met expectations. The location is beautiful, right on the beach with sunbeds just steps from the sea. Service was good, and the food—mostly à la carte—was excellent. Special compliments to the chef.
In summary, the wildlife experience and guide were outstanding, and Zanzibar was a very relaxing and high-quality stay. However, better organization, clearer communication, and more consistency in services would significantly improve the overall experience with the agency.

Absolutely fantastic
Absolutely fantastic experience! Great organisation and communication starting from the planning and throughout the safari. We had high expectations and we were very satisfied! Our guide Aloisi was amazing! He is a very experienced guide, who knows all of the parks inside-out!! He is very knowledgeable about the animals and was able to show us the great migration and all of the big 5 (including some spectacular scenes such as a leopard eating his prey on a tree). Another important plus is that Aloisi is a very experienced and prudent driver, which made us always feel very safe during the transfers between parks and lodges. Finally, all the lodges and tented camps selected by Amshar are very clean, comfortable and serve delicious breakfast and dinner!! Fantastic experience, we highly recommend Aloisi and Amshar Serengeti Adventures
