Reviews
Tailor made tanzania safari
We booked with Safari Multiways because of the reviews and they didn't disappoint. My friend and I had a fantastic camping safari. We were just the one vehicle with our driver/guide and our cook.
We had requested a safari that included as much wildlife as possible, the Serengeti, and the Mara River. We got it all. For the 10 days of pick up from the airport to drop off we were excellently taken care of with no worries. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and capable, answering all our questions and driving safely. Our cook prepared 3 delicious and tasty meals each day, keeping our stomachs full and happy. These two gentlemen were a pleasure to ride with and gt to know.
As one lone vehicle it was relaxing to know that the 1700 km traversed would be safe, exciting, and amazing. We saw so many animals and birds. Each day was a huge imax screen of real life. Tremendous. We want to do it all again!

All round great Northern Circuit safari
We went on a 13 day, private, budget camping safari of the Tanzania Northern Circuit in June with Safari Multiways. We were a group of three with rather differing safari experience - one of us had never been to Africa, one of us had been on many safaris previously but not done the NC before, and I had done the NC several times before.
With Romeo's (the owner) help, we organised a partially customised itinerary that suited our previous experiences:
Starting from Arusha with a day trip to Arusha NP,
Manyara NP (one day)
Ngorogoro Crater (three nights with two trips into the crater and a walking safari to Empakai)
Serengeti NP (three nights)
Lake Natron, with waterfall walk
Tarangire NP, staying in Tarangire Safari Lodge
The communication with Romeo before and during the safari was excellent. But the most important factors in the success of our safari were;
1) the skill and adaptability of Amos, our guide. He had a great eye and was very patient, e.g. he spotted a leopard on the prowl and was the only guide to stick with it, and we eventually saw it stalking and hunting Tommies. We are keen birders and he was keen to help us build our list, spotting and stopping for random birds between and within parks (for the birders, we got a list of 329 sp, inc. my highlights of African Broadbill and Grey-Crested Helmetshrike).
2) the guide and the owner were really flexible about our itinerary, allowing us to modify our itinerary mid-trip. I had booked two days in Ngorogoro Crater to maximise chances of seeing Black Rhino, but Amos was the first guide to spot it on our first day and so we were able to move on to Serengeti sooner than planned.
3) the owner puts NO restrictions on mileage. I didn’t even think that this would happen on a safari as you always drive tens of km in a park without noticing. Many companies put a limit of 50-60km per day. This is nothing is the Wildebeest are in the other side of the park. We were able to travel right to the Kenyan border to see the migration – this is rare.
4) Last, but clearly the most important, was the cook, Moses. He was friendly and fun, and consistently produced great food, even in remote places, and even when left on his own for 13 hrs (with only rampaging baboons for company!).
We were a tough group to please since we had such a mix of experiences, and two keen birders and one Big Fiver. But Amos and co managed to please us all. I have done lots of safaris in the past (inc. the NC again the following two weeks) and have never seen so much. Final total 50 mammals (inc. several leopard, serval, cheetah and Bat eared fox) sightings, 329 birds.
I totally recommend this company for all round organisation, great guiding and cook.
Great service, no frills
I am just back from a 7 day safari with my 8 year old son in northern Tanzania. Safari Multiways is a great little company. Romeo, the owner, has been patient and flexible in accommodating my requests and change of plans. He was able to provide a true tailor-made trip. All other TOs I contacted before choosing Safari Multiways were trying to dissuade us from going off the beaten track. Romeo had no trouble to include a hike down the Empakai crater, a walk in the Olduvai gorge, a night at the Ol Mesera tented camp - all absolutely fabulous spots that receive undeservedly low attention in package deals. His quote was by far the most competitive and the value for money was just great: we had a well maintained car, a nice and experienced multilingual driver guide (Laurence) and a choice between various styles of accommodation. If you are looking for luxury, this is not your company. But if you want a reliable and good quality local TO to which you are not just another number, it's a safe bet. Asante sana, we had a great safari! Hope to be back some day.

Fantastic safari experience!
We chose Safari Multiways because it's a local company in Arusha and Romeo who had answered all our questions immediately and detailed, he gave different ideas options very accurate! And in the end everything was as great as he promissed!
Amus welcomed us at the airport even our plans was earlier than it supposed to be he was already there and we didn't have to wait. We stayed in a beautiful view hotel in Arusha the fay before the safari starts.
Our safari was great Amus is a great driver, great guide, great person! His eyes are like an eagle's, he can see all the animals really far away, he has a good knowledge of animals and their behaviours, we could catch amazing moments Thanks to him.. Of course our cook Mosis, we still talk about his delicious foods.. Mmm really good soupsss, nice breakfasts and tasty dinners.. Mosis also very very positive person always smiles, we really enjoyed his company..
We had unforgettable 5 days! No words is enough to thank them..

Unforgettable and amazing safari experience with Safari Multiways. North Tanzania March 2016 -10 day
We are a couple from Spain and we enjoyed with Safari Multiways a 10-Day Camping Safari around the national parks in North Tanzania (Arusha National Park, Tarangire, Manyara, Lake Eyasi, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengueti and Lake Natron). Wonderfull places all of them! 100% pure wildlife and african tribes culture
Having compared several offers from different safari companies, we chose Safari Multiways because is a Tanzanian local company based in Arusha and offered us a very good service for a very good price. From the beginning was very easy the communication by e-mail with Romeo, the owner, who answered all our questions and helped us very professionally to create and profile our trip. It was a private safari so it was possible for us to change or adapt the trip according to our needs or likes.
We recommend a private safari also because is much more comfortable travelling with the car. The Land Cruiser 4x4 is very big and strong, so you are plenty of space! Moreover in a private safari is easier establishing a closer relationship with the Guide and Cook.
Our guide Amos was very professional and good at his job as an excellent driver and nature guide. He can see everything!!! He found easily the animals and a lot of fantastic moments we to admire. Moreover he knows and explained us a lot of things about wild animals, birdlife, nature and african tribes cultures.
And what to say about our cook, Moses! I am still missing his delicious meals! He has cooked all the days magnificent soups and meals for us and he has taken care of us very well. In addition whenever we had a few minutes between the hours of meals he offered always us coffee, tea, popcorns... Moses also has a lot of knowledge about wildlife and Natur and always helpt us to check the birds we have seen on his bird's guide book!
For all this reasons we highly recommend Safari Multiways. Very nice and professional people giving their best for us to enjoy the Tanzanian safari experience!
It has been an unforgettable trip and we want to come back to Tanzania!
Asante sana Safary Multiways!

Fast and accurate response and kind guide
The tour became an unforgettable memory. When planning the tour, Safari Multiways always gave us accurate and fast responses. They listened to my opinion well and took in it. The route they planned were gorgeous. It was much better than we expected. At first, from the airport to the National conservation Area, we saw people's daily lives. Secondary, from Ngorongoro to Serengeti, we saw beautiful scenery and lives of Masai people. It was really picturesque. The crater was also grand and beautiful. Third, Serengeti plain was so vast and we saw plenty of animals there. The driver was very kind and did his best for us. I really want to come back to Tanzania. And if I come back, I will definitely ask Safari Multiways again.

Amazing Northern circuit safari experience
I have enjoyed a 6 days safari in Northern Tanzania. We covered Lake Manyara, Ndutu, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Eyasi.
We choose Safari Multiways as our tour operator because it is a local company from Arusha and Romeo, the owner, had done a really good job at communicating with us while we were researching.
The service offered by Safari Multiways was remarkable and a good value for money.
Our driver and guide, Amos, made this a 5 star trip. He is a a good English speaker and well documented.
What really made us feel at home was the fact that he made us feel safe and he was always operating in our interest. It felt like visiting a friend.

Amazing experience with Safari Multiways
We enjoyed an 8 days safari tour with Safari Multiways. This was amazing! Our guide and cook were very friendly, very professional and customer oriented. We had the chance to spot a lot of animals which were hidden but the experience of our guide made it easy to be at the right moment at the good location and we were often the first to enjoy the view.
On the top of that, the boss, Romeo is very friendly and very focus that his customers have a good trip with the company. You can trust him and all payment are secured. Don’t forget to tell Romeo what you expect for the safari and he will know what to offer you with a lot of different options (from tents to lodges) and experience … All the best for the next steps.

Absolutely fantastic experience - use these guys as they are brilliant
After researching safari companies for an 8 day safari until my eyes were bleeding, and emailing different companies, we settled on Safari Multiways. Their schedule (which included every part of the Serengeti you could wish to visit) was tailor made to our requirements. and their price was definitely unbeatable.
I realise that when you are touring this part of the world, you have to weigh up the pros and cons of going with a cheaper outfit. I did have some concerns about this when I booked with Safari as they are way cheaper than the competition, but believe me, this was the most fantastic experience I have had in my life.
Go with the basic tent safaris - they are great and you get up and close to the animals. Go with Safari Multiways because they have fantastic guides - we had Amos - and every other guide we met in the Serengeti would eventually follow us as Amos instinctively knew where the animals were and the other guides knew and respected his instincts.
What started out as a trip with Amos and Moses (cook and tent putter upper) as agency staff and paying guests wound up being the most amazing trip ever. We eventually all became good friends and have exchanged email addresses, facebook addresses and photos).
Sorry this has gone on so long but I mean every word of this - Amos is the most amazing guide - he is the most calm, and intelligent person I have met for a long time. He could look at our photos of the bathroom in the mornings (with footprints of an animal) and distinguish it between a cat like or dog like animal and then narrow it down to hyena. There is nothing this man doesn't know about the Serengeti.
Go Safari Multiways - we are from New Zealand and wouldn't hesitate to use these guys again. Go - you know you want to.
