Toshi was great and accommodated all of us.
5/5

Serengeti drive was great . Toshi was very very patient during the great migration experience. He put in a lot of effort to help my friend who was sick. I am glad we chose Sept safari.

Extraordinary!
5/5

Sept Safaris, together with our guide Godlisten, exceeded our expectations. We had a private safari as a couple and we spent 3 days visiting 3 different parks, as driving around the same place seemed too tedious to us.

1) Tarangire – We saw plenty of zebras, wildebeest, and elephants up close, as well as warthogs, mongooses, and antelopes. However, the biggest surprise was spotting two cheetahs: one from a distance and the other from very close up.

2) Ngorongoro – The density of animals in this park is incredible, with seemingly endless stretches of wildlife. However, the biggest surprise was seeing 6 rhinos, including a mother with her baby. In addition to what we had seen in Tarangire, we also managed to spot hippos, lions, hyenas, and ostriches.

3) Lake Manyara – I knew I could expect a lot from Tarangire and Ngorongoro, so I didn't have particularly high expectations for Lake Manyara. However, the park turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Apart from the many baboons, we saw lots of elephants from just a few metres away. We even came across a pair taking a mud bath. The area is heavily forested, so animals can often be seen from a close distance (giraffes, zebras, and waterbuck).

Our guide, Godlisten, knew every corner of the parks. It was clear that he had been working in this field for over a decade. It was thanks to him that we managed to see so many animals. He knew what time to visit specific areas and how to navigate the national parks to maximise our chances of spotting rare animals. An additional highlight was how well our guide adapted to us. He knew when to stop for a longer while because something caught our interest, and when it was time to move on. He also adjusted his energy to match ours. When we were more energetic, he matched our enthusiasm, and when we were tired after a long day of safari, he gave us space and wasn't overly talkative. This made the entire experience feel very comfortable and personalised.

Communication with Sept Safaris via WhatsApp was also smooth, transparent, and incredibly fast. After we informed Isack that we were having trouble contacting the transport company (Nairobi–Arusha), he personally called them and sorted everything out.

The accommodation itself was also very good (Inoga Lodge in Karatu). I could go on praising them endlessly. Highly recommended!
