An amazing guy that blessed us with all his knowledge
5/5

Oldbeast Vacations made our first safari a dream, they planned everything according to our specific situation.
They were here on time and I could say a lot about the tour, we have seen many animals and Deo (our tour operator) gave us so many interesting information and facts.
We loved the cheetah.

Fantastic 14-Day Safari Trip – North Tanzania & Zanzibar
5/5


From the very first request for a quotation to our return flight home, everything was perfectly arranged by Mwanne Arts and our amazing driver/guide Paul.

Paul is a highly skilled, calm, and professional guide who truly goes the extra mile to make your game drives unforgettable. He’s not only passionate about wildlife, but also genuinely helpful—even supporting other guides and organizations on the road. Thanks to him, we saw many animals we’d never seen before and learned so much about them.

One of the highlights was visiting an authentic Maasai tribe, where we were dressed in traditional clothing and joined in their dances. We also took a guided hike at Lake Natron with a Maasai guide to see flamingos up close—an unforgettable experience.

The accommodations were stunning, each carefully chosen to enhance the safari mood. Imagine zebras and other wildlife walking right outside your tent or lodge! The food was excellent too, with delicious local dishes served with warm hospitality.

We can’t recommend the hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti enough—absolutely magical. From the breathtaking views to the champagne landing and bush breakfast, every detail was perfect. Plus, professional photos from the experience were emailed to us for free!

Everywhere we went, we were met by friendly local and Maasai people who made us feel truly welcome. Their kindness and generosity made a big impact on our trip.

In short, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. If you're planning a safari, go with Oldbeast Vacations, ask for Paul as your guide, and your holiday is guaranteed to be unforgettable!

Memories for life!
5/5

Fantastic tour through Tanzania, which was put together by Mwanne in consultation with us. There were never too many questions and they were answered quickly and competently by her.
After landing at Arusha Airport we met our guide and driver Malley, who drove us around and informed us the whole trip well and competently. He did more than his best to offer us an unforgettable trip.
From a Cheetha with cubs, more than 200 lions with cubs and as a highlight the leopard with cubs in a tree with prey......Of course a lot of other animals, zebras, elephants, giraffe, wildebeests etc.
But our favorite was the balloon ride over the Serengeti with the bush breakfast....
All in all an unforgettable trip !!!!!

5/5

We spent 10 incredible days in Tanzania with Oldbeast Vacations and can confidently say it was one of the most memorable experiences of our lives—made even more special as it was part of our honeymoon!

From the very first inquiry to our final goodbye, the experience was seamless, personal, professional, and SO much fun. Mwanne was prompt, warm, and helpful in every communication—her responsiveness and thoroughness put us at ease and built excitement for what was to come.

Our time on Kilimanjaro was guided by Imran, who was informative, encouraging, and incredibly patient for each day of our hike. He made what could have felt daunting into something genuinely rewarding.

And then there was John—our guide, our teacher, and our friend. His joy and passion for what he does shone through every single day. He was not just accommodating—he was thoughtful, hilarious, and endlessly generous with his knowledge and energy. John made this trip truly unforgettable and timeless, and we feel so lucky to have spent our honeymoon with someone who made it feel so personal and magical.

We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara (including a night drive!), the Serengeti, the Ndutu Area, and the Ngorongoro Crater (where we were the first vehicle to enter!). The diversity of the landscape, the abundance of wildlife, and the breathtaking natural beauty blew us away. We saw all of the Big Five—many more than once!—as well as so many other animals we’d only dreamed of seeing.

Some highlights we’ll never forget: learning local phrases and customs, hearing about Tanzanian history and culture, a surreal hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti, and the sheer magic of sunrise across the crater floor.

We followed every single recommendation that Oldbeast Vacations made, and our experience far exceeded our already high expectations. They thought of everything, and it showed.

Tanzania now holds a very special place in our hearts—and that is entirely thanks to Oldbeast Vacations. We cannot recommend them enough and are already dreaming of our return

5/5

Breathtaking! The program proposed by Mwanna turned out to be perfect, every day a new discovery, every day a thrill. The accommodation in hotels and tented camps always comfortable, the food tasty. A special thanks to our fantastic guide Elias. Professional, punctual, always smiling, with extraordinary timing and expertise he made us experience these 8 days always in the front row. He got us through the hiccups of the trip with serenity and took care of our safety. Thanks to his knowledge of the territory and animals, we were able to admire the wildebeest migration before our eyes, entertain ourselves with the cheetah jumped on our car, follow astonished a lioness hunting wildebeest. I definitely recommend Oldbeast Vacations for an unforgettable experience.

Unforgettable 4-Day Serengeti Safari with Oldbeast Vacations!
5/5

We had the most incredible 4-day safari in the Serengeti this June, guided by the amazing John! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great eye for spotting wildlife. We stayed at Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge — stunning views, excellent service, and very comfortable tents.

The absolute highlight was witnessing a lion hunt at sunrise — a breathtaking, once-in-a-lifetime experience! Every detail of the trip was seamless, and John made it truly memorable. Highly recommend!

Unforgettable Luxury Safari
5/5



Our luxury safari with Oldbeast Vacations was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we were picked up to the final drop-off, every detail was carefully arranged to provide comfort, excitement, and unforgettable memories.

We visited both Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, and the experience was beyond anything we imagined. The wildlife sightings were incredible—lions, elephants, leopards, zebras, cheetahs, and even a black rhino in Ngorongoro! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He made every game drive informative and exciting, and he had a real passion for wildlife.

The accommodations were truly luxury—beautiful lodges and tented camps with stunning views, gourmet meals, and exceptional service. After long days of game drives, coming back to a hot shower, comfortable bed, and a drink by the fire under the stars was simply magical.

Oldbeast Vacations exceeded all expectations. They provided seamless service, great communication from the start, and personalized touches throughout the journey. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a high-end safari that combines adventure with true comfort.

Absolutely Incredible Safari Experience with Oldbeast Vacations!
5/5



Oldbeast Vacations was absolutely amazing, and our guide Hari was outstanding. I cannot recommend them enough!

After getting quotes from at least seven different companies, Oldbeast Vacations stood out as the most responsive and best value. The booking process was seamless, Mwana was so communicative and helpful over WhatsApp, making everything super easy.

The safari itself exceeded all expectations. In just four days, we saw over 20 lions, a cheetah with three cubs, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and even a rhino in the distance. Hari ensured we had ample time with the animals, repositioning the vehicle for perfect photos and sharing his binoculars with us for a closer look. His spotting skills were unreal—he even noticed a “spotted thick-knee” bird while driving!

Hari spoke excellent English, was warm, fun, professional, and always made sure we were comfortable, even offering toilet breaks at every opportunity. His navigation skills were equally impressive—he never needed a map and always knew exactly where to go.

The vehicle was clean and well-equipped with a fridge full of water, soft drinks, wine, and beer, plus charging ports and drink holders. The Nikon binoculars were a great touch for wildlife viewing.

The accommodations were great, especially Serengeti Luxury Camping. All our lodgings were clean, welcoming, and accommodating to my vegan diet.

We did the 4-day mid-range tour, which was wonderful, though I’d recommend staying longer in the Serengeti if you can—one night didn’t feel like enough. Even in mid-May, which is shoulder season, we saw so many animals and enjoyed the less-crowded parks. Ngorongoro Crater was especially stunning with fields of yellow flowers.

Honestly, I can’t fault a single thing about this trip. It was the safari of a lifetime. Thank you, Oldbeast Vacations and Hari, for an unforgettable experience!
