Without question the best, most knowledgeable and engaging guide in all of Africa
5/5

Breathtaking, awesome, unforgettable, informative, fun, educational, lifetime experience, enjoyable, need I go on. Allen is a fabulous individual who I have the pleasure of calling a friend. This is the second time we have had the pleasure of Allen being our guide. He is fun, he is entertaining, he knows where the animals are and makes sure you can get up close without ever sacrificing safety. He gave us great histories of all the parks and the conservation efforts underway to maintain and improve the animal habitats. He took his time and let everyone take their time taking photos or even just watching and enjoying the animals. He even provided advice on taking the best possible pictures. The food was wonderful and Allen always asked about what we liked or didn’t like and made perfect adjustments. It was a great dining experience. The accommodations were spectacular. He started with a very comfortable and relaxing Planet Lodge after our long trip. In the middle we went camping (really glamping, great food and accommodations) and one morning I wanted to catch the sunrise but I was greeted by a magnificent elephant 50 meters from my tent. It was awesome. Allen knows how to end a safari on a super high note because we spent our last night at the Coffee Lodge. Absolutely magnificent. The rooms were superb, the views were spectacular the food was fantastic.
If want an adventure that is exciting worth ever penny (extremely reasonable)and will be remembered forever, take Allengeti Adventures. You will not be disappointed.

The most knowledgeable, organized and fun tour operator ever.
5/5

Allen did not disappoint any of us on this safari! He chose the best parks to tour, the best accommodations available for us to stay at, and the best places to obtain unforgettable photos of the big five and more. He always asked about each and every experience we had to confirm that we were enjoying our experience and accommodations. I love birds and he was able to ensure that I had opportunities to photograph as many of the birds as possible, and was able to identify every bird, animal and reptile that we saw. He made the trip fun, informative and overall amazing. He even made sure we had an opportunity to shop! I cannot recommend Allengeti Adventures more!

Safari Fantastic! Allen Super Guide
5/5

6 day safari in Tanzania simply monstrous! an experience to do at least once in a lifetime. Upon my arrival in Arusha I was welcomed by Allen, driver and guide of my Safari in Tanzania, proving to be the real plus of this trip, an extremely qualified and friendly person. His professionalism was crucial to be able to capture the many nuances that nature allows you to experience during this type of experience. First stop, Tarangire park; a park not too big, but with landscapes that change continuously and above all the presence of many animals, Giraffes, Elephants, Zebras and Antelopes. Here; as soon as we entered the first animal seen the Leopard! The feeling you get when you see this feline on the shore of a lake is indescribable. Second stop Lake Manyara, a park with lush forest where it was possible to meet baboons and blue monkeys as well as many types of birds that reside on the edges of the lake. Third stop, Serengeti, which is not a park, but a nation, immersed in a thousand landscapes with animals of all types; Zebras, Giraffes, Antelopes and Buffaloes. We met many Lions and Lionesses with cubs, together with the Cheetah and witnessed the migration of the Wildebeest. To complete this splendid adventure, the Ngoro Ngoro park, a crater rich in fauna where I was able to admire a mother rhinoceros together with her cub (there are 22 specimens in the entire park). I experienced endless emotions, sleeping in lodges and tented camps, having the possibility of hearing the roar of the Lion or the cackles of the Hyenas during the night; the jeep safari allows you to fully enter into the daily life of nature, marking the day and night with its typical African colors. I can say that I saw all the animals, thanks first of all to Alleni. A thousand words will never be able to describe what a safari in Tanzania is, you have to see it with your eyes, breathe it in deeply and live it intensely with your heart. Once it has entered you, it will be impossible to forget it. All this is simply the Mal d'Africa.

Unforgettable experience!
5/5

We had the pleasure of going on a safari in Tanzania (we visited Tarangire and Ngorongoro crater), and we have to say our guide Alleni was amazing and he made our experience unforgettable! Super professional and incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and nature. Every time we spotted an animal, he was ready to share fascinating details, making each encounter truly special.

Plus, he had a great sense of humor that made our days even more fun! He was able to create a friendly atmosphere among all of us.
You could tell he loved his job and respected the environment, which is always a big plus.

If you're thinking about going on a safari in Tanzania, we definitely recommend looking for a guide like ours. It was an unforgettable experience! Thanks Alleni!

Safari with Allen has been the best experience of our life
5/5

If you wish to experience an unforgettable safari, I highly recommend choosing Allen Guide! He is a fantastic guide, he shared with us his vast knowledge about animals and the territory. A great professional, punctual and always available, he was always ready to stop the jeep at the right moment so that we could witness certain events and was always willing to adjust the vehicle to allow us a better view and consequently take more impactful photos (even without us asking him!). His ability to notice the presence of animals from a considerable distance, even those hidden, is incredible. Thanks to him, we were able to see with our own eyes all the animals we hoped to meet, even animals we didn't know existed. Allen managed to maintain a serene and joyful atmosphere while remaining extremely professional. Moreover, it was really nice to compare ourselves and learn about some aspects of a new culture. We learned a lot from Allen, after this safari we turned back home culturally enriched and with our eyes full of so many wonders. Thank you so much Allen, we will never forget this experience, your incredible knowledge and your sincere smiles.

Fantastic Safari and fantastic Guide (Allen)
5/5

I had the pleasure of meeting Allen during my safari in the parks of Tanzania. Allen is an exceptional guide and during our safari he allowed us to see all the animals we hoped to encounter and especially to photograph! He has a knowledge of the parks and especially of the habits of the animals that few people have. In fact, we often found ourselves among the first to spot particular animals! As we moved around, he delighted us with his knowledge, telling us everything about the animals we were seeing, including the little anecdotes that not everyone knows. I would also like to emphasize his great patience in positioning the off-road vehicle to allow us to find the right light and the correct position from which to photograph the subjects we wanted to immortalize in our shots and those who are photographers know very well how important these aspects are.
Last but not least... Allen is a fantastic person! He knows how to make people feel at ease, always bringing a lot of joy and happiness! I highly recommend contacting him!

Fantastic tour
5/5

Great tour with Allen

From June 7 to June 15 we made the following trip;
From Arusha to Tarangire to Manyara to Ngorongoro and finally to the Serengeti (west and central)
From the first to the last day it was great! An experience that everyone should experience 😊 We were very satisfied and happy with our driver/guide Allen! He provides a lot of information in a fun way with a lot of humor. He knows a lot about the country, its culture and nature and loves to talk about it. We have seen many African countries, but never so much wildlife!

Allen knows how to find the right places and sees almost all the animals that you would probably have driven past yourself. In addition to the wild animals, there are also many beautiful birds to see along the way. We don't know much about birds and in the Netherlands they have few colors. This is very different in Tanzania and Allen can tell and show all about it from his bird book.

The highlight of this trip was the migration. What an experience to suddenly be among thousands of animals that are migrating. Even before we were taken to the airport, Allen made a route so that we could experience part of the migration before our departure.
We will never forget this trip!! The route is beautiful, the accommodations good and not to forget Allen who guides it all. If we ever go that way again, we will definitely travel with him again!

Amazing Tanzania Honeymoon
5/5

We had an amazing experience with Allengeti and we’re already dreaming about going back. Allen provided amazing guiding—he could anticipate where animals were going and position us accordingly. On multiple occasions, our vehicle was just feet away from lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, and wildebeests. The game drives were truly magical. And Allen has a great personality and sense of humor that made him a fun companion.

Allengeti also handled the logistics perfectly. From when Allen picked us up at the airport to when he dropped us off, everything went smoothly. We were also very satisfied with the accommodations, particularly the Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge. I recommend Allengeti without any hesitation!

Love having one person for the whole trip who quickly understands individuals from food preferences to passion for different animals, vegetation and scenery as well as abilities to indulge in different adventures. Allen's knowledge plus ability to educate is amazing. Subtle, non intrusive and fun.
