Amazing first trip to Africa!
We visited Kenya/Tanzania during August 2026. Right from the beginning, Ben and his team ensured that the itinerary was meeting our needs and replied patiently to every single question. The guides, Edward (Kenya) and Ally (Tanzania) were knowledgeable and ensured that we were able to see the big 5 during our stay. Ally particularly went above and beyond; there were some challenges we encountered but Ally ensured that everything was taken care and did not disrupt our trip or schedule. Both the guides shared their knowledge of the place, culture and wildlife and the kids thoroughly enjoyed their company. Thank Ben and Team for providing a truly memorable first trip to Africa!

Excellent!
We traveled to Tanzania with Ali as our tour guide in 2022; Ali now works for Loren African Safari. Based on our excellent experience, we booked our Kenya trip in August 2026 through Loren African Safari as well. The organization of the 8-day safari was outstanding. We received helpful tips, suggestions, and information, and with Loren African Safari's assistance, we were able to create our own personalized itinerary. Communication was always quick, friendly, and accommodating. The safari itself (including all hotel reservations and excursions) ran flawlessly; it was a fantastic trip! Furthermore, at our request, they even helped us purchase train tickets beforehand, which wasn't their responsibility at all (thank you again!). I can wholeheartedly recommend Loren African Safari – we would only book our next African trip with them.

Thank you for an unforgettable week on safari with you!
We had a wonderful safari with Loren African Safaris. When we booked, we thought the consistently excellent reviews were too good to be true, but now we know why Loren African Safaris has nothing but 5-star ratings. Even before the safari began, Loren patiently and promptly answered all our questions and flexibly accommodated all our requests for changes. The organization was perfect, and everything ran smoothly on-site. A special thank you goes to our driver and safari guide, Mecky, who always went out of his way to give us the best experiences and was also very pleasant and fun to be around. No distance was too far for him to take us to see the animals. We already miss him and would rate him a 12 out of 10. Overall, we had an unforgettable week on safari and can wholeheartedly recommend Loren African Safaris and Mecky. Thank you very much!

Unforgettable 6-Day Safari - Camping in the Serengeti was pure magic!
We did a 6-day safari with Loren African Safaris starting August 22, 2026, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime.
From the beginning, communication with Loren/Ben was flawless. Super responsive on WhatsApp, clear itinerary, fair price with no hidden fees, and everything was tailored exactly to what we wanted.
Our itinerary was Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and a visit to a Maasai village. The highlight was camping overnight in the Serengeti.
Our guide Ally was AWESOME. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about what he does. He has an eagle eye for spotting animals we would have never seen on our own, knew all the best routes and photographic angles, and is an excellent, safe driver. He explained everything about the wildlife, birds, and culture and answered all our questions patiently. You can tell he genuinely loves his job.
The moment that stood out for us was camping in the Serengeti. I was NOT expecting to actually see and hear wild animals right outside our tent at night — elephants, warthogs, and even a lion! It was thrilling, a little scary, and absolutely unforgettable. Hearing lions and hyenas at night while safe in camp is something I will never forget.
The safari vehicle was clean and comfortable with a pop-up roof, charging ports, and a fridge. The food and accommodation were excellent throughout.
Loren African Safaris is a local Tanzanian company and you really feel the difference — personal, caring, and they go the extra mile. They took care of everything from start to finish so we could just enjoy the magic.
I highly recommend Loren African Safaris to anyone going to Tanzania, and if you can, ask for Ally. Asante sana to the whole team — we will definitely be back!

Professional, kind and enthusiastic, wonderful trip!
Going on an African safari has long been a dream of mine, and I’m so grateful to Loren African Safaris for making our trip absolutely perfect! It is a small operator, yet incredibly professional with outstanding service.
Before the trip
Burdened with a busy work schedule, I had little time to plan our itinerary. I researched and reached out to several tour agencies, and Loren was among the quickest to reply. Beyond their fast response, their carefully crafted itinerary was another major reason I chose them. As first-time visitors to Africa, we had no clear picture of where Tanzania’s main national parks lie or what a safari experience entails. Loren’s itinerary came complete with safari route maps, plus daily highlights: the key wildlife we could expect to see and details of our accommodation each night. Everything was laid out clearly at a glance. Trust me, it’s hard not to be impressed by such thoughtful planning. On pricing, Loren provided a detailed breakdown of every item and offered discounts where possible. This transparent discount structure inspired far more confidence in their professionalism than random haggling.
During the trip
We were incredibly lucky to have two guides, Elly and Ally. Elly took us to visit Serval Wildlife on our first day and dropped us off at the airport on our final day. We enjoyed great conversations with him and gained insight into Tanzania, its culture and local customs — a wonderful start and end to our journey. Ally was our safari guide. Friendly, polite and witty, he boasts extensive knowledge of wildlife. He understands animal behaviors deeply, spots wildlife quickly and explains everything to us in vivid ways. He also took us to lesser-visited parts of the Serengeti, showcasing unique landscapes few tourists get to see. Even better, instead of sticking rigidly to a preset schedule, Ally checked in with us in advance to learn what animals we most wanted to see and how we preferred to structure our day, adjusting plans according to our wishes. Under his guidance, we spotted the Big Five and many other species. We witnessed multiple wildebeest river crossings and watched five male lions feeding on a wildebeest up close — an unforgettable experience. The roads inside the national parks are rough and bumpy, but Ally is an excellent driver. He could rush to wildlife sightings promptly while keeping the ride as smooth as possible on regular tracks. Beyond wildlife watching, we talked a lot about culture and economics, deepening our understanding of each other’s countries and enriching our trip. As for meals and accommodation: the picnic hampers were far tastier than standard lunch boxes, and our lodges and camps were excellent.
After the trip
On our final day, flying from Kilimanjaro to Dar es Salaam, Air Tanzania made an unexpected flight adjustment which landed us in trouble. We had connecting international flights afterwards and were extremely anxious. Even though this issue was caused by the airline, Loren stayed in contact with the carrier and worked hard to resolve the situation. We managed to catch our flight that evening without missing our international connection, bringing our safari adventure to a flawless close.
This was our family’s first visit to Africa, and certainly not my last. Should I return to Africa in the future, Loren African Safaris will be my first choice.

Awesome Trip with Loren
We had an incredible in Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar with Loren.
Both Guides we had were superb, helpful and always flexible so a big thank you to Alex (Kenya) and Benjamin (Tanzania) that made our trip as smooth as possible.
In short, Loren was the perfect choice with a well-made safari and a capacity to always be very quick to answer all my questions on WhatsApp.

Efficient , professional and well priced
After weeks of planning our trip to Kenya and Tanzania, we decided to put our faith in Loren's hands. We had a quite charged 5 days itinerary (Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti), and he helped us plan it realistically. He also had the most competitive prices we could find (out of ~50 companies).
We had 2 different guides, Marcel (Kenya side) and Marc (Tanzania) that were equally competent, on their own ways. They definitely made our trip stunning.
Thank you for everything, and I would surely recommend him to anyone who wishes to go on a safari adventure !

Great guide, responsive operator and competitive prices
Ally was our guide and he was fantastic. He was great at using the radio and we benefitted from his relationships with the other guides we came across as they gave us tips and worked together. He also spotted animals we'd never have noticed, including a leopard from hundreds of metres out, and really knew his stuff when it came to animal behaviour, including where the wildebeest would end up crossing.
Loren was quick to reply while booking and his prices beat other operators we'd looked at. Pick-ups at Kilimanjaro airport and in Zanzibar were both spot on, and the vehicles we were picked up in were air-conditioned which we were very grateful for. They also put a "Just Married" cover on the spare tyre for us, and my wife loved it.
We're really glad we got to support a local business. Would absolutely recommend.
