Best Tour Guide Ever
5/5

As someone who’s fairly well-traveled and usually plans every detail of my trips myself, coming to Africa and relying on a local operator was a bit outside my comfort zone. The sheer number of tour options available is both incredible and overwhelming when you’re just getting started.

Ultimately, I narrowed it down to three operators who responded to my inquiry quickly and thoughtfully. Of those, Amshar (Edward) stood out immediately—he was incredibly responsive, patient, and easy to work with from day one.

Even after booking, I was still unsure about what to expect since I wasn’t in control of every reservation like I usually am—but once I arrived, I was absolutely blown away. From the moment I was picked up at the airport to every hotel check-in and everything in between, the logistics were seamless and so well organized.

The accommodations were fantastic, and our guide, Loth, was hands down the best tour guide I’ve ever had. He was kind, flexible, and always ready to accommodate whatever we needed. The vehicle was stocked with cold water, sodas, and snacks at all times. The music was always up for requests—or full takeovers—and Loth’s insights and information made every moment more enriching.

And all of this was before the actual safari, which was truly a once-in-a-lifetime, life-changing experience. Loth played a huge part in making it so memorable. We chatted, we laughed, we jammed to music—and we saw all the animals. I can’t recommend this experience enough.

Loth for president
5/5

We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into, but our guide and now friend, Loth made the experience so memorable. He really knows his stuff- the roads, the different habitats, and how to keep the vibes high! It would not have been the same without him! Whatever they’re paying him isn’t enough! He made this a trip of a lifetime! We love you loth!!

They provided the tour that they promised with care and integrity.
5/5

I chose Amshar Serengeti tours from the safari bookings.com. The site recommends that you choose at least 3 tour companies and I chose 5, based on what I wanted, how long I wanted to stay and how much I wanted to spend. All of the companies responded. Initially I was looking at aniother tour company, but I asked them a few questions and the answers were evasive so I sent the same questions to Edward at Amshar. The answers were clear and reasonable. I emailed a number of times with additional questions and requests and always received a prompt and clear answer.
I arrived a couple of days early and Leoni messaged me to make sure that everything had gone as expected and that I was well. The driver, Kevin, picked me up at the airport and drove me to the hotel, providing valuable information about the country along the way. The Tulsa Boutique Hotel and Spa was ready to serve me dinner as soon as I was ready. A lovely start to my safari.
Alouis, my driver, met me at the hotel on the morning we started to Tarangire National Park. He was very pleasant and accommodating. He was determined that I would have the best safari possible. He was always willing to stop if I wanted to take a picture and ever-vigilant to point out animals that I had missed. It was an amazing adventure. Please note that I am 70 years old and was travelling on my own. I felt safe yet adventurous throughout the entire trip. Thank you Alouis and Amshar Serengeti adventures.

Experience of a lifetime!
4/5

Good communication about the booking process.
Good program and everything (pick up, lunch, (cold) drinks, charge possibilities and a clean car every day) was arranged very well.
The guide was very eager to find the big five and we (3 young women) felt save with him.
The guide could share some more information sometimes.
We thought we would spend 2 days in Serengeti, but it were 24 hours.

Transactional experience rather than immersive & educational.
4/5

Our experience with Amshar was good. The package of safari with hot air balloon, with accommodation and food was great.
Our driver was very efficient at getting you to point A to Point B, we saw all the big five up close. Which was phenomenal, but our driver was missing enthusiasm about these animals. We received little to no information as to where we were driving to next, when we arrived to an animal, you’re expected to kind of know already what animal it is. Any questions were responded to with one answer words.
In the safari car you get a cooler fridge, we asked multiple times to drop for refreshments aside from water, like Coke & beers ( to enjoy all day driving) it was like asking for a favor to deviate from course. Reliability and Value for Money was very good. This was just our experience and I guess everyone wants different things. Our group would have rather had a more immersive educational experience and see only 3 of the big five.

Absolutely incredible. One of the greatest experiences of my life.
5/5

I would absolutely recommend Amshar and our guide Loth to anyone considering a Safari in northern Tanzania.

Amshar were great at tailoring the Safari to our needs (including organising flights to Zanzibar at the conclusion). They were responsive, organised and professional and at no point did I have concerns about the quality of the service which was provided.

Loth was fantastic. We got along really well, he was very interesting and knowledgeable, and I believe that he really cared about us and our experience. We also had dinner one night with some of the other drivers from Amshar who were also in the same camp (including Stanley) who seemed like they would be equally as good.

The accomodation was faultless, and on the last night we were even treated to a few lions stalking animals through our camp (though at no point did we feel unsafe).

We managed to see every animal that you could possibly want to, and I very much attribute this to the determination of Loth and the organisation of Amshar.

If I was going to do another Safari I would definitely use Amshar, and I would recommend them to everyone I know.

Unforgettable Safari Experience in Tanzania
5/5

We, a family of four, had an incredible 4-day safari in Tanzania, exploring the stunning landscapes of Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The wildlife was absolutely breathtaking—we saw most of the animals and even witnessed the incredible wildebeest and zebra migrations, which was our main objective. We also saw lions chasing wildebeests and then eating their prey, cheetahs, and even a leopard! Our guide was fantastic; he was attentive to all our needs and made sure our trip was smooth and enjoyable. The ambiance at the migration camp was genuine and welcoming, making our stay even more memorable. Thanks to our guide’s expertise and the warm atmosphere, we had an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
