Wonderful Safari Experience with a Few Helpful Notes
Overall, we had a wonderful time on safari in Tanzania. Moria Tours was punctual and even picked us up partway from Serval Wildlife, which was very convenient. The drivers were incredibly kind and took the time to teach us some Swahili phrases, which was both helpful and a beautiful insight into the culture.
We truly enjoyed learning how to make coffee at Materuni Falls—it was a memorable and enriching experience. That evening, we stayed at Charity Hall Hotel. While it was clean and functional, it felt more like a budget hotel and was not our favorite. In the future, we would likely pay closer attention to the hotel selections provided.
On day two, our early-morning hot air balloon experience was absolutely amazing. Although the transfer driver from the hotel to the balloon launch site arrived late, he did his best to get us there as quickly as possible. The hot air balloon experience with Miracle was breathtaking. Because there were so few guests, we were actually the only ones in the balloon, which made it extra special. We saw elephants, lions, and many other animals. The captain was extremely knowledgeable, and the entire team worked seamlessly together. The breakfast afterward was beautifully prepared, clean, and thoughtfully organized.
The driver who transferred us to Tarangire Safari was also very knowledgeable, which added to the experience. One suggestion we would offer is clearer communication about how many people will be in the safari Land Cruiser. We have long legs, and being seated in the back with a full vehicle was quite uncomfortable and, at times, painful. In the future, limiting the vehicle to four or five guests might greatly improve comfort.
Another helpful improvement would be providing advance information about luggage limits in the Land Cruiser. We were not aware that we could not bring all of our bags, which caused some last-minute coordination and stress.
Our Ngorongoro experience the following day was also very nice. The drivers were friendly and knowledgeable, and the other passengers were lively and fun. Our only note was regarding the secondary hotel, which did not have air conditioning. This was particularly difficult for my husband, as the heat made the stay uncomfortable.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience seeing so many incredible animals and exploring Tanzania. With clearer communication around vehicle space, luggage limits, and hotel amenities, the experience could be even better for future guests.

First time on safari - so many animals - basic accommodation
Communication with Joshua went smoothly (apart from the politically motivated internet block).
For the price, we couldn't find anything that included Tarangire, Serengeti, and the Norongoro Crater – four days packed with experiences. (We saw an incredible number of animals.) It's important to be aware that the drive to the Serengeti takes a good half day each way.
And the accommodations are basic/modest, as expected for the price. Our first night was in a simple tent with a private bathroom that met the minimum hygiene standards (including a pool). The second night was in a small tent with sleeping bags and mats provided by the tour operator. The sanitary facilities were quite dirty, no light, no toilet paper... If you love adventure, then this is the perfect place for you, right in the middle of the Serengeti, unfenced and with less than the bare necessities. The last night was in the same tents, but with good sanitary facilities.
... The food was absolutely delicious every single day, and the kitchen staff went to great lengths to prepare it (they seemed to be cooking all night long), so we were even able to enjoy a hearty meal while out in the national park. Only one evening was there a bit of chaos with setting up the tent late and having dinner at 11:00 PM. :) The driver was very experienced and happy to provide detailed information about the animals and the region when asked. (We saw pretty much all the well-known animals of the area... and often several times... rhinos only from a distance.)

It's so wonderful to be able to see so many different animals.
It was a fantastic experience seeing so many animals and driving through the diverse landscapes. The food was delicious! The second night was quite an adventure. We were in the middle of nowhere in the Serengeti, where we could hear the lions from our tent. A crazy experience, but you have to be comfortable with the basic sanitary facilities.

Wonderful Safari experience with nothing to worry about and where you totally can enjoy!
The communication with the organisation was very good and fast.
It provides a wonderful chance to explore several National Parks at a short time. The accomodations and lodges as well as the food were always very good.
However, you need to bring a little flexibility as your route and accomodation may be adjusted or changed. For us, this was no big deal and we really enjoyed our safari experience.
Please be aware that if you do not book a private tour that the number of tourists may vary every day. Also, the daily start of the safari may be later and the Game Drive itself may be shorter than wished.

Bakari was confident and experienced; we always felt safe and cared for, and he surprised us a lot!
Value for the money: exceeded expectations! We had high expectations for this trip and we were blown away by the experience! What we experienced was easily worth more.
Communications and service: most of the communications were good, except they didn’t describe well what we would need for camping. For example, we were told that all we needed for camping equipment would be provided, but in reality there was no toilet paper at the camp grounds, no pillows, no rags or towels, no soap or shampoo, and sleeping bags weren’t tracked each camp sight so we ended up using the bag of someone else the second night.
Also, there were only cold showers, which is a problem of the camp grounds (not the tour company) but they did not prepare us for that.
Reliability: they were VERY on time and I felt they were completely reliable with how/when/where things would happen. We also felt safe the whole time.
Tour itself: Trip of a Lifetime! It wasn’t luxurious, but it was safe, fun, with an easy atmosphere, friendly, and there was a sense of adventure the whole time. Bakari was very accommodating based on everyone’s interests and needs. He was an expert at spotting animals, some so far away that we couldn’t even see them with binoculars until he brought us up close to them. We got very close to all of the big 5 except a leopard, and we got very close to many other animals.
We would EASILY use this tour company, and especially the tour guide, Bakari, again.
