perfect solo day track
Great wildlife viewing inside arusha national park. Civet adventure safaris structured a solid solo itinerary covering both the open savannah spots and the deep forest tracks. Saw huge troops of baboons, giraffes, and beautiful birdlife near the water. Very transparent operation, no hidden vehicle fees at the gate.

They really tried their best to do everything possible, there was sometimes transparency missing
We booked the tour online in advance, which of course sometimes raises concerns about whether the provider actually exists. It does exist😉 We then received several route changes; apparently, the budget wasn’t enough for the route we wanted. The tour was shortened over the course of the days while keeping the booked price the same—we didn’t want that. More changes followed; this time, destinations we’d requested were omitted, partly with flimsy excuses like “too much rain” or “the volcano is currently active”… eventually, we were able to agree on adjustments: no longer a private tour, but still covering the most important sites. I actually expect that when I book a tour, it will be offered exactly as I booked it. And that the money for my package will “be enough.”
But maybe that’s just the Tanzanian way of life—it’ll all work out fine, and we’ll see how it goes….
The evening before the tour, we sat down with the guide again and were able to ask all our questions—that was really great, put our minds at ease, and got us excited for the tour.
Then came the Serengeti tour; we picked up three more participants and saw a lot. On our first night at the campsite, we were greeted upon arrival by a herd of elephants running around the campground. Exciting and definitely special. We then spent the next night at the Ngorongoro Crater to explore rhinos and the crater early the next morning. Unfortunately, that’s when the poor communication began; we had to escort a participant who had left the group out of the park. This meant we were all able to see less, but we weren’t really given any information. Then we spent the night outside the national park, but without any information—this wasn’t what had originally been agreed upon. We were then given incorrect departure times for the next leg of the trip. Breakfast wasn’t served until an hour later than originally announced. We then continued on to Lake Natron. The drive was really cool because we got to see a bit of the surrounding area. There, we had a guided tour to a waterfall with a Maasai—a definite highlight. Especially since we were there so early; a few more tourists arrived after us and had to share the waterfall, but we had the whole place to ourselves. That was really nice. In the evening, we took a trip to Lake Natron to watch the sunset and see the flamingos, and the next day we headed back.
All in all, the tour was wonderful if you can overlook the fact that, every now and then, things that had been agreed upon didn’t happen. The driver and guide were very nice and knowledgeable, and the cook was also very friendly. The food was delicious.
We saw amazing animals and certainly gained many experiences that we will remember for a long time.

Four Days Fresh Air and a Different Kind of Family Trip.
Went on a 4-day safari with my family last week. Honestly, it was a fairly easy trip overall. Getting there and settling in didn’t take much effort which helped since we were traveling with kids.
The stay was decent clean rooms quiet surroundings and close enough to the main safari area. Nothing felt over the top just practical and comfortable. Most days started early with the drives, and the guides handled things calmly. They pointed things out when needed but didn’t talk too much which I personally liked.
We saw quite a few animals over the days though some drives were slower than others. That’s just how it goes I guess. The kids stayed interested, so that was a good sign.
By the end of it, the whole trip felt steady and manageable. Not perfect, but it worked well for what we wanted — some time outdoors without too much hassle.

3 days safari
I recently joined a 3-day group safari covering Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Jeremey, was exceptional,knowledgeable, patient, and always eager to share insights about the wildlife and landscapes. He made the journey smooth and enjoyable, ensuring that everyone in the group felt comfortable and engaged.
The Serengeti’s endless plains and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater were absolutely stunning. We were lucky to see the Big Five and many other animals up close, and Jeremey always knew the best spots to stop for photos and observation.
Another highlight was the food : every meal was tasty, fresh, and homemade, which made the experience even more special after long days in the bush.
I would highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an authentic, well-guided adventure in Tanzania.

Safari - amazing
I highly recommend it to everyone. For me, it was the trip of a lifetime and the fulfillment of all my dreams. The driver, Jeremi, was very engaging with the group in the Jeep. He was helpful and answered all our questions. Safety on safari is paramount; we felt safe. Spending the night in tents under the stars was a dream come true. I would gladly go back again.

Unforgettable Safari with Jeremy
From the very first moment, everything about this safari exceeded my expectations. The trip was perfectly organized, and every detail felt thoughtfully planned. Our guide Jeremy was incredible. He was friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife, and thanks to him we were able to see four of the Big Five up close. His passion for nature and wildlife really made the journey special.
The vehicle was comfortable and well equipped, which made long game drives enjoyable. I especially appreciated the small touches like the fridge in the car, which made the experience even more pleasant. Accommodations along the way were clean, comfortable, and always welcoming. For the price, the value was outstanding.
What I enjoyed most was the personal touch. Jeremy always made sure that we were comfortable, that our wishes were respected, and that we never felt rushed. I truly felt cared for the whole time.
This safari gave me memories for a lifetime. From the breathtaking Serengeti sunsets to watching elephants in Tarangire and standing at the rim of Ngorongoro Crater, it was the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and discovery.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Civet Adventure Safari to anyone looking for an authentic, well run safari experience in Tanzania.

Beyond all expectations!
We booked a tour through Suricata Safaris, with Jeremy from Civet as our driver and guide.
Jeremy is a good driver, a happy and charming guy, with great passion for his work. He knows all of the animals you encounter, and will happily share some fun facts about them.
He is invested in giving you the best experience, and we felt comfortable and safe with him as our driver. He is always on time.
I wish he would improve his English some, so that we could gather even more of his thoughts and wisdom.
Would definitely recommend Jemery for your Safari experience.
