Amazing!
I had the most incredible safari experience, far beyond anything I expected. From the moment I booked, I was extremely well taken care of by Eric, who offered the best customer service I have ever seen. He guided me through every step, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt safe and supported at all times. As a woman traveling alone, this meant the world to me.
The hotel on arrival was wonderful, and the lodge during my safari was absolutely beautiful, peaceful, clean, and perfectly chosen.
My safari guide and driver, Gilbert, was truly exceptional. Along the road, he taught me so much about the different cultures, tribes, and people of the region, which made the journey even more meaningful. He is extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, from animal behavior to what they eat, how they move, and where to find them. On top of that, he went above and beyond in every situation. When I got sick, he took care of me, brought me to a clinic, and handled everything with such kindness and professionalism. During the game drives, he patiently waited for me to take all my photos and always positioned the vehicle perfectly so I could capture the best moments. I am really grateful for that because the pictures I have are my memories.
Both Eric and Gilbert truly surpassed my expectations. They made this experience unforgettable, magical, and full of wonderful time. This safari was an extraordinary adventure, and I would recommend this team to anyone looking for a safe, memorable, and deeply caring experience in Tanzania.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Ndutu Green Explorers
Our safari with Ndutu Green Explorers was nothing short of spectacular! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organised. Tom, our safari organiser, handled every detail seamlessly from collecting us at our hotel in Zanzibar, arranging our flights to the Serengeti, and ensuring everything ran smoothly throughout our journey.
We were warmly welcomed by our guide, Gilbert, who was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also passionate about wildlife and the landscapes we explored. His sharp eyes and deep understanding of animal behaviour made every game drive fascinating and memorable.
Our itinerary took us through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park, each destination offering its own breathtaking scenery and wildlife encounters. The lodges we stayed in were absolutely amazing comfortable, beautifully located, and offering the perfect balance of adventure and luxury.
A real highlight of our trip was the early morning balloon ride over the Serengeti, followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush. Floating silently above the savannah as the sun rose was a magical experience we’ll never forget.
From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The return journey back to Zanzibar was just as smooth we were flown back and driven to our hotel without a hitch.
This safari was truly value for money, and the level of care, professionalism, and personal attention we received from everyone at Ndutu Green Explorers made us feel like VIPs. Our dream safari was brought to life in the most incredible way
Thank you, Tom, Gilbert, and the entire team for making it all possible!
We cannot recommend Ndutu Green Explorers highly enough this was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure we’ll cherish forever.

Gilbert our guide put Ndutu Green Explorers on the map for us!
Our safari in Tanzania was nothing short of magical, and it’s hard to imagine it being as extraordinary without the expertise and passion of our guide, Gilbert, from Ndutu Green Explorers. From the moment we were greeted at the airport Gilbert's presence made all the difference. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and relentless dedication to ensuring we had an unforgettable experience were unparalleled. We are recommending Ndutu Green Explorers—and especially Gilbert—to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. We received this package at a simply amazing price and it was worth every penny spent.
Gilbert wasn’t just a guide; he was a storyteller, a wildlife expert, and a true ambassador for the Tanzanian wilderness. From the first moment we met him, his warmth and enthusiasm were evident. His friendly demeanor immediately made us feel at ease, and it became clear that he was genuinely invested in making our safari a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Gilbert’s enthusiasm for wildlife and our experience was contagious. It was clear that he loved what he did, and that passion made our experience so much more enjoyable. He went above and beyond to ensure that we not only saw the "big five" but also had the chance to witness extraordinary moments in the wild. If we expressed an interest in seeing a particular animal—whether it was a cheetah, leopard, or in my partners case a Buffalo Gilbert was relentless in tracking them down.
Our safari with Gilbert from Ndutu Green Explorers exceeded every expectation. We came for the animals, but we stayed for the memories we made with Gilbert, whose passion for the job and dedication to his guests was unmatched. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine care for our experience made all the difference.
Ndutu Green Explorers executed our dream impeccably, the package was arranged perfectly and every detail was exactly as we dreamed it to be.
Just to add we arrived in an unusual time of political unrest, we was kept safe and reassured throughout. If you are thinking of coming please book with Ndutu and definitely ask for Gilbert!

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.
