Unforgettable memories
We had the most incredible time on our safari adventure to Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, booked through Avitus at Uncensored Safaris. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded our expectations.
Our guide, Hans, was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great eye for spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, we got to see an amazing variety of animals — including lions, large herds of elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and so much more. Every moment felt special, and Hans made sure we were comfortable and fully immersed in the experience.
Tarangire’s stunning landscapes and the breathtaking views inside the Ngorongoro Crater made this trip unforgettable. You can tell that the team at Uncensored Safaris really cares about giving their guests a true and authentic safari experience.
Accommodation and food provided also very very good. Thank you so much Avi and Hans!
Highly recommend booking with them if you’re looking for a personalized, professional, and unforgettable safari in Tanzania!

Amazing from start to finish
Me and my now wife recently celebrated our honeymoon in Tanzania. Alongside our stay in Zanzibar we opted to fly to mainland Tanzania and under go a 2 day safari. Upon getting a few quotes from reputable companies I found Avitus and uncensored safaris to offer the best price and also the best communication. On the lead up to the safari Avitus was very responsive to any questions we had about what we needed to bring and any other queries.
Avitus organised all our transportation to and from our hotel in Zanzibar and our flights to Arusha. Upon arrival to Arusha we were met by Avitus and our tour guide the very knowledgable Hans. Me and my wife then set out on our way to Tarangire national park with our guide Hans. On route he explained what animals we may encounter, educated us on the local tribe the maasai and also gave us a lesson in Swahili which was very much appreciated.
Tarangire national park - we had an amazing day at Tarangire. Within an hour of entering the park we came across many zebra, giraffe and even a magnificent male lion. We then travelled some more through the park where we came across a beautiful herd of elephants. We then stopped for some lunch at a picnic spot with a breathtaking view of the water course below. Which had more elephant and zebra cooling off in the water - this was a sight to see. After lunch we made our way down to the water course to get a closer look at the elephants and even seen a huge bull which was very impressive to see the size of him. We carried on our drive to see many more animals. Amazing day at Tarangire.
We then made our way to our accommodation where Avitus had booked. This was on route to the ngorngoro crater. Leaving us just a 1 hour drive the next morning. We arrived at heart & soul lodge and checked in. This was amazing accommodation. Lovely lawn area with pool and sunbeds to relax and there was a stunning sunset taking place in the distance as we arrived. Me and my wife had an amazing 3 course evening meal at heart & soul and due to it being our honeymoon Avitus had very thoughtfully arranged for a cake to be bought out to us and for the staff to present it to us both which was a lovely touch and very much appreciated.
The next day we set off early for Ngorongoro crater. We got there nice and early before most other tours. We stopped at the view point looking down at the crater which took our breath away. It was like we were were about to descend into another world. We began our descent into the crater. We hadn’t even been in the crater for 10 minutes before we seen a male and female lion stretching out and sleeping together which was amazing to see. The crater was buzzing with animals. From zebra, wilderbeest, water buffalo, hippo, warthog, gazelle. The sheer number of animals was unbelievable and a sight to be hold. Before we stopped for breakfast we came across another male lion sleeping in some long grass. We then stopped for a lovely breakfast. We carried on our game drive after breakfast and took in more nature in the crater. Hans then took us into a heavily forested area in an attempt to spot a black rhino. Although we were unsuccessful - just before we needed to head back to the airport we had our best sighting yet. Around 8 or 9 elephants including their calfes right by our vehicle. This was truly breathtaking. We observed these amazing creatures feeding for 15-20 minutes. It was unbelievable to see them so close and the true size of these beautiful animals. It was the perfect end to our safari experience and we hope to return again one day with uncensored safaris. Hans then got us back to Arusha airport on time for our flight.
Throughout our safari Hans knowledge of the wildlife and the local areas and tribes was incredible. He looked after me and my wife throughout and was amazing. And Avitus from start to finish was amazing. We hope to book a safari with you both again sometime soon. And we highly highly recommend uncensored safaris they will not dissapoint.
Thank you Avi and Hans!

Professionalism and excellent treatment.
We chose this company not only for its reasonable price but also for its professionalism from the start. Avitus responded promptly to all emails, explaining all our questions and offering us different options that suited our needs.
The three-day safari was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed all three parks we visited, especially our 5-year-old daughter. The accommodation met our expectations, with good food and very friendly staff. Our guide, Meshack, was fantastic. He is an excellent driver who made us feel safe at all times and was very efficient in finding animals. He is also very attentive and friendly, and was kind and patient with our little one.
We definitely recommend Uncensored Safari and would choose them again in the future. Asante Sana!

Beautiful Experience
The communication with Avitus was excellent and left no question unanswered. The price was very good for the quality and the service given. During the safari, which we did with our 5y/o kid, Meshack took very good care of us all the time, having infinite patience with our needs to stop the car for every bird, bug and animal.

In my experience the company was efficient, responsive, considerate and extremely knowledgeable.
As a novice safari goer the experience and its effects were far greater than I had envisaged. The level of service both in the planning and whilst on safari was exceptional.
Our guide, Emmanuel, had an incredible range of knowledge and demonstrated a deep love and respect for the landscape, the people, the animals and birdlife.
The level of service we received at our accommodation was excellent. The staff were a delight.
I found the whole experience emotional and awe inspiring, which both surprised and delighted me.

Uncensored Safaris were excellent, they were supportive, flexible and proactive at every step
Avitus from Uncensored Safaris was incredibly responsive from the start.
I contacted 2 or 3 companies initially but decided Uncensored were the most proactive and flexible.
We were not disappointed.
Avitus helped and adapted the trip to suit us and was very supportive when plans changed due to a bereavement within the family.
He helped us even with the internal flights either end of the trip and the accommodation he arranged for us was fabulous.
Our guide Emanuelle was absolutely fantastic with his knowledge and enthusiasm - He went above and beyond to show us the Big 5 plus lots more and we were impressed with his bird knowledge too.
We even got to see a hiding Leopard at the end of the day as the sun was going down and a wandering Cheetah as the sun was coming up!
I would completely recommend Avitus and his team who made our family trip to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Taranguire such an unforgettable 3 day adventure.

Organised, smooth, outstanding service.
Our 2 day safari experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The entire booking process was so easy and smooth, with every detail handled efficiently and professionally. Everything was fully tailored to meet our needs and every request we made was met without any issues at all. From the moment we first enquired, it was clear that we were in good hands. Communication was excellent throughout – Avitus was always available on WhatsApp to answer all of our questions and provide updates, no matter the time of day. His quick responses, friendly approach and thorough explanations made the whole process completely stress free and straightforward. We felt fully supported at every stage, and by the time the trip arrived we were confident that everything had been arranged perfectly.
The safari itself exceeded all expectations. We had Shabanially as our guide and he was absolutely brilliant. So friendly, kind and incredibly knowledgeable. He was always attentive, making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. His passion for wildlife truly showed – he constantly kept an eye out for animals, made sure we got the best views by perfectly positioning the vehicle and even took amazing photos of us to capture the experience.
Shabanially ensured we arrived safely at our lodge and was always prompt in picking us up each morning. He went above and beyond in every way and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
We honestly can’t express how seamless, enjoyable and memorable our safari was. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone – it was truly a trip of a lifetime!

Excellent experience for attention and quality of services
My experience with Uncensored Safari was fantastic! Their attention to the customer is maximum from the first emails, the manager Avitus is very kind and available for any advice and additional service, the guide was very good and showed us a lot of animals.
The location- where we stayed (Safari view luxury camp) was great, with very kind staff and very good food.
The price paid was blessed and certainly well spent.
Definitely highly recommended!

Perfect organisation and maximum attention to the customer!
I chose Uncensored Safari among the different proposals both for the maximum transparency, the competitive price and the speed of response to emails.
The Avitus manager is a person very attentive to the needs of the customers and in the answers and in the organisation of the trip.
Our experience with them was excellent from the communication and organisation phase via email, the Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro then was incredible and unforgettable, also thanks to the Godson guide, prepared and kind.
Avitus also helped us a lot to recover the luggage that the airline had lost, it was really priceless!
We couldn't have made a better choice! Thanks again guys!

Professional, responsive and unforgettable. We highly recommend Uncensored Safaris!
We booked a 2-day private safari with Uncensored Safaris and had an incredible experience from start to finish. Communication was excellent right from the beginning. Avitus responded quickly, clearly and professionally to all of our messages. He also sent us a very helpful PDF that outlined everything included in the trip, which made it easy to understand what to expect. I didn’t even realize we had booked a private safari (English is my second language), so that came as a very welcome surprise, it was just me and my sister in the vehicle.
The trip itself was flawless, but I’d definitely recommend doing some of your own research beforehand so you’re well prepared, especially if visiting Tarangire and Ngorongoro. A few essentials we were happy to bring: binoculars, warm clothing (it’s cold in Ngorongoro), mosquito spray, and a good camera with zoom. I managed with my phone camera, but I really wished I had something better for long-distance shots, especially for animals like lions, servals and more shy animals.
As for the service: it was top notch. Our guide and driver, Emmanuel, was incredibly knowledgeable, especially about the animals and bird species we saw. His ability to spot animals was truly impressive. He also gave us lots of interesting facts about Tanzania and Zanzibar along the way. We didn’t quite catch all of his humor (likely due to cultural differences), but he was friendly, professional and made us feel safe the entire time.
We especially appreciated how flexible and supportive the tour operator was when my sister fell ill the same morning we were supposed to fly out. Avitus rescheduled our entire safari for two days later with no additional cost, apart from a $100 flight cancellation fee charged by the airline. He handled everything so smoothly and we’re deeply grateful for that.
The safari itself was unforgettable. On day one, we visited Tarangire National Park and saw elephants, warthogs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, lizards, birds of prey, and more. On day two, we explored the lush, green landscape of Ngorongoro Crater – such a unique and breathtaking place. And saw hippos, flamingos, pelicans, herds of zebras and wildebeests and lots of birds.
I’ll never forget the feeling of being surrounded by elephants in their natural habitat in Tarangire, or the dense vegetation and rich wildlife of Ngorongoro.
The lodge (Farm of Dreams lodge) we stayed at for the night was very luxurious with friendly staff and great food, but we arrived quite late and left early the next morning, so didn’t get to enjoy it as much as we’d have liked.
In terms of value for money, it’s hard to compare since we didn’t look at too many other options. And yes, the trip was on the expensive side. But considering the service, professionalism and overall experience, we still feel it was worth it. If you’re on a tighter budget, I’d suggest doing some deeper research, but we don’t regret booking with Uncensored Safaris at all.
Everything went as planned, and we always felt safe and well cared for. If I ever return to Tanzania for another safari, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Uncensored Safaris again. Thank you, Avitus and Emmanuel, for an incredible adventure and for taking such good care of us!
