5/5

Professional and prompt service from the sales manager Mike. Always helpful with every question and detail
Our guide Johnson gave us the trip I always dreamed about. Very personable. Professional and courteous. He treated us like queens everyday and I especially enjoyed the fresh gourmet coffee.
He ensured we got to see the “Big 5” and got us up close to several Lions and Elephants. Truly a trip of a lifetime

5/5

EPIC TRIP!! From planning through execution Mike and our guide Johnson delivered for us! They were very friendly, responsive, and made every effort to deliver an amazing Safari experience for us at a reasonable cost. Our guide Johnson was a total professional! Not only did he get us close to all of the diverse wildlife including The Big Five but he also made the experience so personal!! He called us his Queens, he made fresh African coffee for us in the bush, and had our safety as a Top priority! I feel I've made a close friend in Africa! The accommodations were 5 star experiences with great views, food and personalized service! I would highly recommend Extreme Wilderness Adventures if you're planning an African Safari adventure.

Perfect!!
5/5

Among all the trips we have experienced, our trip with Extreme was the most perfect. While we were in touch with many travel companies to arrange our safari, Mike was by far the quickest to respond and the most helpful. He patiently handled all of our requests and several changes to our travel plans with kindness and professionalism. Since it was our first trip to Africa, he went above and beyond to ease all of our concerns. When he welcomed us at our hotel on the first day, we immediately knew he was kind and trustworthy.

What truly made this trip unforgettable was our guide, Sam. He is without a doubt the best guide we have ever met. His passion for his work and his professionalism were simply outstanding. He answered all of our questions thoroughly, teaching us about wildlife, ecosystems, geology, and culture — he was truly the best teacher we could have asked for. His ability to find animals was remarkable. When we traveled to the Northern Serengeti to witness the great wildebeest river crossing, he managed to take us to the perfect spot, and we saw it almost immediately. We were also able to see leopards, lions, elephants, and many other animals, including many mothers with their babies, thanks to him. Sharing our safari experience with Sam was one of the most valuable and unforgettable moments in my life.

For anyone planning a safari, whether it’s your first time or not, we highly recommend Extreme. We are confident they will give you an experience you will never forget.

Thank you, Mike, Sam, and the your team!

Phenomenal!
5/5

I could have not asked for a better experience for my first time in Tanzania! Mike was incredibly accommodating, well-organized and very gracious from start to finish. He took the time to plan out and provide a detailed itinerary prior
to arrival in Tanzania.

Upon arrival, Mike personally visited us at our hotel with our driver for the duration for introductions and review of our upcoming days on safari. We felt very safe and in good hands with Mike.

Our driver, Johnson (sp?) was fantastic from the get-go. Courteous, knowledgeable, he ensured our every need was met. He has a true respect for the land, animals and people of the Serengeti. It was an absolute pleasure sharing this once-in-a-lifetime experience with Johnson.

Please, if you are looking for a professional, tailored, safari experience, reach out to Extreme Wilderness. In a sea of tour operator options, supporting a small business paid off for us in the adventure of a lifetime.

I will be back and I will only use Mike and Extreme Wilderness Tours!!!

Unforgettable
5/5

We completed a 4 night 5 day tour. It was truly an amazing experience. Each day continue to impress us. Mike is very kind and professional who made sure we treated well. He cares about his guests Jonson was an outstanding guide. By the end he felt more like a friend. We felt blessed to have him as our guide He is knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He made our experience. It is a smaller company but the fine details were what made this trip special. We selected a mid range safari and the accommodations did not disappoint us. This is worth every penny spent. Highly recommend Extreme Wilderness you will not be disappointed I would give higher than 5 Stars if I could

Fantastic experience, once in a lifetime holiday
5/5

From our very first communication with Mike from Extreme Wilderness the whole experience was excellent. Our trip was tailored to our exact requirements using his expert knowledge.
We are a family of 4 with 2 teenage children (16 and 13).
We were greated at the airport and transferred to The Mount Meru Hotel for one night of rest before our safari.
Mike met us in the morning, to set us on our way, ensuring we were happy with our itinerary and we left for Tarangire.
After Tarangire, we spent a day at the Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater and a final day at Makuyuni Wildlife Park.
Our driver/guide Sady was excellent throughout and ensured we arrived safely to each destination.
We stayed at Manyara's Secret twice and Lahia Tented Lodge and these were probably two of the best accommodations we have ever experienced. Food, hospitality and locations were perfect.
Days were action packed and we have made memories which will last forever.
Thanks to Mike and the team at Extreme Wilderness Adventures.
Mike also assisted us with airport transfers and put us in contact with guides for trips on Zanzibar.

I was solo, and requested in the las moment, for that I think it was expensive for me.
the situation of the tips needs to be more clear, since the beginning , to avoid surprises.

Perfection
5/5


I had the incredible pleasure of taking part in a safari that truly exceeded all my expectations. Everything was perfectly organized – from the moment we were picked up to the very last day.
But what made the biggest difference was our guide Silva!!!He was not only extremely knowledgeable, but also passionate, patient, and had a great sense of humor. He spoke about the animals and nature in a way that was both fascinating and easy to understand, and he made sure we were safe and comfortable at all times.
Thanks to his sharp eye, we were able to spot a lot of animals. He also had a deep understanding of local customs and was able to answer every question, making us feel like we were truly part of this wild adventure – not just tourists.

I wholeheartedly recommend this experience – if you’re going on safari, make sure it’s with Silva from Extreme Wilderness Adventure

Incredible First Safari!
5/5

This was a trip of many firsts for us -- our first safari and our first time in Africa! -- and Extreme Wilderness helped make it unforgettable. From our very first email exchange, our coordinator Sande was warm, friendly, and professional, patiently working with us to put together an itinerary that helped us pack a safari comprising Tarangire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro as well as a visit to Zanzibar into one short week. She and our guide Allen did everything they could to ensure we saw all we could have hoped for for even in our limited time. (Highlights included a mother cheetah and her cub, not one but two leopards, and a black rhino -- the only "major" animal we hadn't yet seen -- on our very last safari day, right before our flight to Zanzibar.) They ensured we made the most of every minute, but despite our fast-paced itinerary, we never felt rushed; they struck the perfect balance of efficiency and letting us enjoy the amazing sights.
On top of the safari itself, we were afforded the opportunity to try a variety of local foods as we'd requested, and all the accommodations were truly lovely. We only wish we could've stayed longer!

Unforgettable luxury safari experience!
5/5

From start to finish, this safari was an absolute dream. Mike did an excellent job organizing the tour, providing all the details needed to book with ease—including a well-done digital itinerary. The communication was excellent - he was very responsive and answered all my questions. As we got closer, he even made thoughtful adjustments based on current animal activity to ensure we had the best possible experience.

The accommodations were breathtaking. The lodges were true luxury in the middle of nature. The lodge staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, with outstanding service that made the stay even more special.

Our tour guide, Michael, was awesome. His knowledge of the wildlife, environment, and local culture added so much value to the experience. He kept us on schedule while allowing us plenty of time to enjoy the sights. He always made sure we were comfortable with food, refreshments, and bathroom breaks. He also went out of his way to make sure we saw all the animals, shared cultural insights about the Maasai people, and even taught us some Swahili along the way!

As two women traveling alone, we always felt safe and well cared for with Michael. I can’t recommend this safari enough. It was definitely an experience of a lifetime.
