Good in communication, need to be improved vehicle safety
Our communication with Serengeti Mystery Adventures were very smooth. Responded immediately whatever we asked. It made us really relieved. Trip it self went well according to the schedule. Only one things disappointed and not able to recommend was lack of safety in quality of vehicle such as no seat belt, broken handle, car break down (old battery). Cars need to be well maintained.

Great tour leader
Our tour leader, Mr. Focus, was amazing. He was nice and knowledgable and shared alot of facts regarding different animals life style. He always tried to find different animals and provide a best angle for us to watch them. He respected our wishes to stay longer to watch migration in north.
food was good and hotels were clean. Unfortunately, alot of them didn’t have proper wifi.
There are few complains. The main one is, it seems the tour company paid for 48 hours Serengeti park entrance fee while we supposed to stay three days there. we supposed to stay in center serengeti for one day and two days in north serengeti. while it was not easy to do that by this limited time (48hrs). So after one day staying in center and one day at north, we had to change our plan from second day at north to center. Although our game drive on center also was short on third day which is a disappointed.
Also it was better if we had more detailed plan of day to day activities before starting the tour. It was not clear to us how many hours we are going to do game drives per day when we booked the tour. Eventhough they mentioned the hours of transfer per day, it was not even close to reality. We had much longer transfer time each day, almost double to what they mentioned. So the game drive per day was max 2-3 hours. It seems the person who arrange and plan the tour, he never went actually on the tour or not talk to their tour leaders to share a more realistic safari plan.
Besides, planning, everything else was good, especially our tour leader, Mr. Focus.

Well done
Communication with the rep/sales (Deus) was excellent. Driver-guide Kalvin was also polite, punctual and knowledgeable.
Points to improve though are vehicle - could have been newer (keep in mind very dusty and shaky roads, so additional comfort would not harm), program though good - I was not aware of Tarangire national park, hooked only by the big names of Serengeti & Ngorongoro - so it was a perfect addition, but more precise info would have been nice, especially about times - as from Tarangire to Serengeti it took almost the whole day and not just 1,5 as it was stated in the program.
Also it feels like that you should better know what you want on safari - otherwise stops times might be either too long or too short.
Accomodation was quite good, especially Baobab tented camp.
Lunch could have been better - lunchboxes are provided by accomodation mostly, but we spotted also one group being catered with metal pots instead of humble lunchboxes, so there is room to grow (consider to buy some snacks in advance )

Just Fantastic
We had an amazing time during our safari adventure. Thadei did a fantastic job organizing everything, and even though we faced some challenges with arrival times and airport pick-up, all the issues were resolved promptly and efficiently. We thoroughly enjoyed our five-day journey, exploring each park was a delight.
The accommodations were pleasant, and the food was good throughout. We particularly loved our stay at Kontiki Serengeti Camp for two nights. Overall, it was a great experience that we truly enjoyed.

Very helpful and service minded.
Good communication and service. Not that many animals in Serengeti at this time of the Year (end of October). But on the other hand not as many People as during high season. More animals in Ngorongoro. Regarding value for money I am unsecure. The safari costed a lot of money. But part of that might be due to the fact that I travelled alone. One passanger - one driver. The driver/guide, Harrison, was excellent and did really do his outmost in order to deliver value for money.

Very professional and respond quickly on our last minute request
The safari was beyond my expectations with regard that we had plan our trip one week before travel date but everything went perfect, thanks to our guide that we saw all big five animals and lastly the food and accommodation were truly amazing.

Absolutely Incredible Experience Start to Finish
About a year and a half ago, my fiance (now wife) and I were planning our honeymoon and reading the reviews for Serengeti Mystery Adventures, wondering if they were too good to be true. Now that we have completed our seven day safari we can say that this company not only meets but exceeds all expectations.
Harrison, our guide, was absolutely amazing. He was very kind, funny, and extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and Tanzanian culture. Thanks to him we spotted all of the big 5, big 9, and much more. He taught us lots about the different animals, the Masai people, and Tanzania overall. We couldn’t have asked for anything more in a guide.
Deus in the office was wonderful to work with. He was extremely responsive and helped us customize the trip to our exact desires. All of the accommodations he recommended to us were excellent and we especially enjoyed the Serena Serengeti and Serena Ngorongoro lodges.
We recommend that Serengeti Mystery Adventures in the strongest possible terms for anyone wanting to plan an unforgettable Tanzanian safari.

Wonderful safari of a lifetime
This is our first time visiting Africa and first safari. Reservation manager Mr. Deus customized itinerary based on our visit time. Everything went smoothly. Hotels and meals were very nice. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Our driver and guide was Mr. Kefas along with Mr. Isaac. Mr. Kefas has extensive knowledge and is very dedicated to providing an unforgettable experience. He was very experienced in spotting animals and we were able to see all big fives and other big and small animals. Seeing them in different settings and behave differently is very eye opening. And getting to learn more about them is also very interesting and humbling. It was busy five days. We covered a lot of ground, visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Grumeti area, and also Maasai tribe village. We saw a lot of animals, experienced a lot of culture, went on a few ATV like rides, and brought back a lot of memories.

Very informative and caring tour company and guide
We did the five-day tour. At the start of the tour, two parties were arriving at two different locations -- one at the airport in Arusha and one at the airport in Kilimanjaro. Deus from Serengeti Mystery helped coordinate pick-up at both locations and brought us to Kikuletwa hot springs (at our request). The driver had packed lunch for us to eat while we were there. After the springs, we were brought to the hotel we had booked to spend the night. In the morning, the driver picked us up and brought us to Arusha airport for our flight to the Seronera airstrip in the Serengeti. Once we arrived there, we were picked up Keyfas (hopefully the spelling is correct), our guide. Starting directly from the airstrip, we began our safari adventures.
Keyfas was an awesome tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and was super patient in both dealing with us and in finding animals. He went to great lengths to make sure we saw all the animals we could possibly see. He also helped coordinate with the hotels we were staying in. At one point, a member of the party had forgotten their laptop at a hotel and he spent two hours driving out of the way to go get the laptop. He was, without a doubt, an awesome guide!
