They are professional, efficient, and friendly, creating a trip that is relaxing yet adventurous!
We had the absolute honeymoon of our dreams, thanks to the incredible team at Ndutu Green Explorers, especially our travel consultant, Tom, and our guide, Gilbert.
From the start, Tom was exceptional. He worked closely with us to curate a 6-day, 5-night safari that perfectly matched our vision, departing from and returning to Zanzibar and including stops at Tarangire National Park, the Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. We asked for a mix of luxury and mid-range accommodations, and Tom delivered a beautifully balanced itinerary that exceeded our expectations.
What truly stood out was Tom’s responsiveness and patience. Despite going through 13 different safari versions, primarily due to our indecision, he remained incredibly kind, flexible, and helpful through it all. He always replied within 24 hours, often much sooner, and was consistently cheerful and collaborative. Even while we were on our trip, he regularly checked in to make sure everything was running smoothly. Meeting him in person at the airport was a lovely experience after months of planning together. He also went above and beyond by answering questions that weren’t even safari-related, like navigating taxis and currency exchange on Zanzibar.
Our guide, Gilbert, was equally phenomenal. He was knowledgeable, professional, and always seemed to have a sixth sense for where the action was. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five, a cheetah, and countless other spectacular animals always from front-row vantage points. He created a calm, comfortable atmosphere from day one, and we truly enjoyed spending the week with him. Every morning, the truck was immaculately prepared, with bottled waters in our cup holders, snacks like cashews and Pringles in the front tray, and the mats shaken out to keep things dust-free. Lunchtime had a proper setup every day, complete with a tablecloth, drinks (including wine and beer), hot meals, and fresh fruit, all served with care.
We wholeheartedly recommend Ndutu Green Explorers to anyone looking for a customized, high-touch safari experience that not only caters to your preferences but also supports local Tanzanian communities. They made our honeymoon truly magical—and we can’t wait to return someday.
