6 Day Tanzania Safari
A bucket list experience. We had Okuli as our driver and guide, he was exceptional!! He went above and beyond to make sure we saw the Big 5, was flexible with our schedule/needs, great driving, friendly, kind, knowledgeable, made us feel safe & was the key to making it an amazing adventure. The guide literally does all the work(not the company) so having a great guide makes all the difference & they should be compensated properly for it all. HIGHLY RECOMMEND using okuli. If we come back we’ll request him directly. If you can, ask for him—He is Truly the best.
As for the locations, we did 4 (two below + tarangire park & lake managers). But if you are on a time crunch or want some down time, I recommend doing Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Adding in a day to enjoy the lodge or get a break should be added to your itinerary, we didn’t have that and it can be very tiring as they are long days.
We drove both ways but next time we’ll probably drive there from Arusha and fly back from Serengeti to JRO; as it’s a lot of driving and car time on bumpy dusty roads.
Also bring extra cash, most guides stop at a Maasai tribe and it cost $50-100 USD for 2 people in cash (which we didn’t plan for). It’s cool to see other cultures & can be quick so you should do it.
We stayed at Serena lodges and Simba Tentedcamp. The lodges are nicer but both were great and staff was attentive and friendly at both.
Overall great experience!

We had made the Safari on Kenya and Tanzania.
On Tanzania we had Okuli as our guide and he was incredible!
Always trying to find the best places to spot the animals and giving all explanations.

My husband and I had an amazing trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar thanks to Ibrahim and Afrishare Trekking and Safaris. I reached out to Ibrahim about a year before my husband and I had planned to go on safari and spend some time relaxing on the island. Ibrahim was very responsive and answered any and all of my questions. After initially describing what we were hoping to do on our trip, Ibrahim sent me a very detailed itinerary. After looking it over, my husband and I wanted to make a few changes, which Ibrahim was happy to do quickly and efficiently. He also worked to adjust activities, accommodations, etc based on our budget. Our drive on safari was amazing and our point of contact on Zanzibar island was incredible, as well. We are very thankful to have worked with Ibrahim and this company for an unforgettable trip!

A memorable experience
I did a four-day safari with Ramaa, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, and I had a great experience with him as our guide.
Ramaa is clearly very passionate about his job, and you could really see it in how determined he was to find as many animals as possible for us to see. He was always looking out for wildlife and genuinely seemed excited to show us everything he could.
He also took the time to explain what we were seeing and share interesting information about the animals. And he patiently answered every single question we asked — and believe me, there were a lot! 😅 Not only about the wildlife, but also about life in Tanzania.
I learned so much during those four days with him and really appreciated his enthusiasm, knowledge and patience.
Thank you so much, Ramaa, for making our safari such a memorable experience!

A Trip of a Lifetime !
Thank you to Afrishare to help make my safari dreams come true ! It was an adventure of a lifetime for sure, everything that I imagined and more ! Our safari guides Jeff (Kenya) and Deo (Tanzania) were absolutely wonderful in every way and completely took care of us ! I booked the trip through Ibrahim and we kept in touch through email and WhatsApp with a quick response time. The lodges and tented camps were just adorable with extremely comfortable beds, large attached bathrooms and showers plus electric outlets for charging phones.
I selected the 6 day safari which included Masai Mara in Kenya at the Jambo Mara Safari Lodge for 2 nights after which we crossed the border into Tanzania and the Serengeti for single nights at the Serengeti Ikoma Tented camp and the Osero Serengeti Tented Camp followed by a night in Ngorongoro at the Ngare Lodge ( the one location that included air-conditioning). We were lucky to have perfect weather with temperatures ranging from 60 degrees at night to about 85 degrees during the day so all the lodgings had very comfortable temperatures for sleeping. All the locations had very nice dining rooms and a bar for wonderful buffet meals.
Our guides Jeff and Deo took great pride in showing us all the animals we came to see and tried their very best to find them all for us. Finding the big cats (lions, leopards and cheetahs) was the most challenging since they like to hide by nature but we definitely saw them all and got some great photos ! Our animal viewing list included zebras, giraffes, elephants, hippos, rhinos, lions, leopards, cheetahs, baboons, cape buffalo, pumbas (warthog), wildebeest (white bearded gnu), ostrich, gazelle and antelopes.
Our first day it was a 5 hour drive from Nairobi to Masai Mara. After a late lunch we did our first safari for a little over two hours as the sun was setting, breathtaking ! On Day 2 we had a full day safari complete with a picnic lunch under a tree, it was magical ! Day 3 we did another 5 hour drive to the Tanzania gate seeing animals along the way. After going through customs we changed our tour guide and continued on to the first of two tented camps which I loved ! After dark you need to request a guide to walk you to the dining room so there is a flashlight supplied in the room to flash in circles to alert your escort. Day 5 we went down to the Ngorongoro Crater for a different safari experience, we even saw hundreds of pink flamingos ! I commented to Deo that we saw all the animals we expected but I did not see any snakes so at the end of our Safari experience, Deo took us to a snake park observatory near Arusha !
Going on safari is a very bumpy and dusty experience but completely worth it to see those beautiful animals ! Thanks again to everyone involved in us having an amazing African safari vacation !
