Most highly recommend Baltazary who is trustworthy, knowledable and nurtures his guests.
Spent five wonderful days with Baltazary in the Arusha area. This time was an excellent way to transition from weary travel mode to ready for safari. We received the full experience of the general Arusha area with plenty of cultural and wildlife experiences. Met plenty of friendly local people and got to know the warm local customs. A very good value for the money. We really enjoyed the Shanga workshop for knitting and glass blowing. The gift shop was extraondinary and the people so easily talked about their crafts and skills. We walked through the Arusha central market. This was the most spectacular collection of fruit, spices and vegetables that you will ever see. We next were so amazed with the Cultural Center, all the authentic artwork and jewelry on display and no pressure gift shops. Next was the Serval Wildlife Park with close encounters with many exotic animals. Fed zebras, giraffes and actually pet a lioness. Exciting! We paddled around Duluti Lake with a guide and saw many birds and aquatic monitor lizards. Very special morning with lunch. We finally swam in the hot springs one afternoon. A place where many locals enjoy time in the healthy spring water. Very friendly people and invigorating. Baltazary is most fluent in English, happily explained every aspect of African local culture and all types of animals and geography. An encyclopedia of knowledge. We never felt uncomfortable or at risk. Highly enjoyablr time.

Unforgettable Safari in Serengeti and Vibrant Arusha City Tour
We had an amazing experience with Baltazary as our guide. The safari through the Serengeti was breathtaking – from spotting wildlife up close to enjoying the vast, beautiful landscapes. Baltazary’s knowledge and passion made the journey even more special.
In Arusha, he took us on a wonderful city tour where we discovered local highlights, tasted delicious food, and enjoyed great music. It felt authentic and full of energy.
If you’re looking for a memorable safari combined with an authentic cultural experience, we highly recommend booking a tour with Baltazary.

Generous, Intuitive and Adaptable
We had the pleasure of recently spending 6 days with Baltazary while we were in Arusha, Tanzania. He gave us such a strong understanding of his own hometown that we look forward to returning for another longer visit within the next couple of years. He asked about us, our interests, experiences and limitations, and then proceeded to give us a wonderful experience of Arusha and her environs. Highlights of our time together include a once-in-a-lifetime time at the Serval wild animal conservation center, where we interacted with giraffe, zebra, antelope and even a white lioness; an afternoon wander through the local farmer's market which was so much more than just food; the incomparable Cultural Center (where one could happily wander for a full day!); and the Shanga workshop of many kinds of local arts and crafts. The best of all were the many conversations we had about how Life in Tanzania is, how the independent country has developed into such an interesting and great place to visit, and how the many tribes and cultures have been able to live harmoniously for so long. Our "City Safari" was an invaluable introduction to this lovely and welcoming country, and we most highly recommend Serengeti Captain Tours and Safaris. The long animal safaris are not to be missed, but don't cheat yourself out of time well-spent in the Arusha area when you first arrive, exhausted and jet-lagged. Book this or an oceanside getaway along with the wild animal safari, you will be so glad you did.
Our vehicle was pristine, always on time and very comfortable, with plenty of water available anytime. You might want to bring along small gifts for the wonderful people you will encounter along the way, from housekeepers at your accommodations to a young person working in a gallery, or kids you meet in the market. Pencils, small books, zippered pouches, even serviceable clean summer clothes of any type will be very much appreciated as something from a grateful visitor from afar.
