Perfect
I had a truly wonderful safari experience. Our guide was very kind and knowledgeable, always making sure we were comfortable and helping us spot the animals we wanted to see. The meals were delicious and exceeded my expectations, and the accommodation was both cozy and relaxing, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. Most importantly, I was able to see all the animals I had hoped for, which made me feel incredibly happy and grateful. Overall, it was an unforgettable journey that I would highly recommend to anyone.

Unbelievable! Ndutu may be the best kept secret in Tanzania.
Truly remarkable!! Ndutu Green Explorers may be the best kept secret in Tanzania. We booked a 6 day safari for our honeymoon and our guide Gilbert ensured it was a trip of a lifetime.
We spent countless hours researching tour companies. Let me save you some time - Book Ndutu and ask for Gilbert. They are a smaller, locally owned and operated company that goes the extra mile to make sure you see as much as possible and are taken care of, which isn’t the case with some of the bigger companies. (I booked with a top rated tour company the previous time I visited the Serengeti) We also got quotes from some of the bigger top rated companies and they were 25%-50% more expensive for the same itinerary and accommodations not as nice. The communication with Tom planning our safari was great. He was extremely responsive and patient with us, making multiple itineraries and quotes until we found the perfect one. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Ndutu!!
Highlights from our safari:
Tangerie ->Ngorongo-> Central Serengeti -> Northern Serengeti -> Central Serengeti.
- Big 5 ✅
- black rhino
- 27 lions
- 4 leopards
- 6 cheetahs
- Great migration crossing the Mara River
- hundreds of elephants
- hundreds of water buffalo
- hundreds of giraffes
With the exception of the rhino, we were within a foot of all these animals courtesy of our guide Gilbert who has over 10 years of experience guiding in the Serengeti.
Absolutely incredible experience!!

Absolutely Incredible
Our 6 day safari was amazing! Our guide Gilbert has 10 years experience and it shows. He was able to find us EVERY animal we asked to see multiple times and his knowledge of both the Serengeti and animal behaviours put us in prime positioning for some of the most incredible experiences (elephants crossings in front of your vehicle, leopards jumping in and out of trees, wildebeest crossing the Mara). Every morning I would I say what I wanted to see and boom, we’d see it before lunchtime (always with the disclaimer this is nature and it might not happen).
The places we stayed were incredible as well. Friends and Sero lodge has the most amazing staff, food, service, and accommodation. You are truly well looked after when you are there. I had reservations about the idea of camping in the Serengeti but this exceeded expectations.
If you’re reading reviews worrying about the fact that they’re not no. 1 on trip advisor rest assured it’s because they are a local (smaller) company and in this case it is better. Our guide went to WORK for us making it everything we could have wanted and more.
Truly mind blowing week!
I should mention if you are not planning on watching a river crossing you definitely don’t need 6 days. 3-4 would be enough.
Book with Ndutu, and ask for Gil!

Excellent
My experience with Ndutu Green Explorers was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, Tom made sure to tailor the safari to my preferences and went above and beyond to ensure I was always comfortable and happy. As someone who can be quite anxious, I truly appreciated his patience, kindness, and willingness to answer my many questions at any time of the day. This was my very first safari, and it exceeded all my expectations. Our tour guide, Mack, was outstanding, professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. He made sure we enjoyed every moment of the journey and turned our first safari into an unforgettable and memorable experience. I highly recommend Ndutu Green Explorers, to anyone looking for a personalized, thoughtful, and exceptional safari adventure in Tanzania!

Fantastic Safari with Ndutu Green Explorers
We have just come back from our 4 day 3 night safari with Ndutu Green Explorers, what a fantastic time we have had. Right from the start when we choose Ndutu Tom has been an exceptional organizer of our safari. We were booking it from NZ so a bit nervous about how that would work but Tom helped us through any changes that we wanted and was quick with his reply, yhe payments went through with no problems and anything we wanted Tom delivered. Our pickup in Zanzibar, flight to Arusha and pickup by Tom and our guide Emanual was seemless. We first went to Taragire NP where straight away we saw elephants, giraffes and heaps of our animals. Then it was off to Hhando Coffee Lodge for the night, a very welcoming comfortable place to stay. The next morning we went to Ngorongoro Crater which was like driving through a zoo the animals where everywhere, just as we where leaving we spotted a rhino in the distance. Emanuel was a great spotter of any animals. Next we drove to Serengeti where we stayed at Friends Serengeti Camp for 2 nights which was a fabulous place, great staff, the food was top notch and a very relaxing luxury tent, lots of game drives during the day a lovely place for a beer in the evening. The whole experience on safari was amazing and I heartily recommend Tom, Emanuel and Ndutu Green Explorers as a great company to choose for your safari.

We were on Safari with 2 kids and everything was just perfect. Our tour guide Gilbert was very helpful, nice and had great knowledge about the animals. We just had a great time here and we would like to strongly recommend this operator for everybody that want to experience something unique

Excellent. Absolutely committed to giving us the best safari experience possible.
We picked Ndutu Green from among a myriad of safari operators based on the value of the offer we were presented. To be honest - I asked a few operators for an offer and threw everything to ChatGPT and asked to compere and evaluate. Because I did not exactly know which parks are worth seeing etc. Chat picked Ndutu as the most interesting and offering the best experience for the money, also it suggested a small change - flight back from Serengeti instead of a long drive. I wrote Ndutu and the communication was fast and flawless. That was pre-safari. Still we came not knowing what to expect. And the trip exceeded all our expectations. The Guide - Gilford was incredibly committed to make the best of our time in Tanzania - show us all the animals from as close as possible. He was patient (we were with 2 kids), kind, easygoing, well informed and overall great guy to spend time with. True hakuna matata spirit. Couldn’t ask for a better guide. The Serengeti lodges were a bliss too. Overall. Perfect experience.

Unforgettable impressions
We had an amazing experience at our 3-day safari. Everything went perfectly. The contact to Tom, the organisation of our tour, the accomodation at Hhando Coffee Lodge and the most important to mention - our guide Gilibert. He made a very great job for us! He gave us inside information of his country, the people living there and all the animals we had seen and we asked for. He had eyes like an eagle because we had spot a lot of them and he gave us the possibility to take good pic's. He always tried that we feel comfortable. And all of this for a good and fair price. Thank you so much.
