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!

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..
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.

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.
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!

Karibu Tanzania
We just returned from a 2 week Safari from Kenya & Tanzania, a departure from the standard 1 country safari norm. July 8-13 in Kenya and 13-21 in Tanzania.
The Tanzania part was handled by Safari Multiways. For the trip we were mentored by Mr Jyotinath Ganguly who had travelled with SM in 2014 and strongly recommended them. We stuck to Safari Multiways and did not go to any other operator and we are glad that we got over that very tricky part of TO selection effortlessly.

After 5 days in Kenya we left Masai Mara early morning and crossed over at Isebania-Sirari border to be greeted by a cheerful Driver/Guide Nassari who had positioned himself at Tarime after driving in the previous day from Arusha. The drive from Mara to Isebania took 4hrs and from Sirari to North Serengeti Camp another 4+ hrs. Entry to Serengeti via Tabora B Gate.
But for Migori-Isebania and Sirari-Tarime which is tarmac, the entire stretch is gravel which only a 4x4 could negotiate. Inspite of the 9/10 hrs drive from Mara to Serengeti on some very rough roads we arrived at destination in fine fettle.
Our TZ itinerary was- 2 nights at Serengeti North Wilderness Camp at North Serengeti, 3 nights at Kati Kati at Central Serengeti, 1 night at Rhino Lodge at Ngorongoro, 2 nights at Nasikia Ndovu tented camp at Tarangire. The staff at all the camps worked very hard to deliver, from hot showers to dining they were up to the task.
Tarangire to JRO airport with a pit stop at SM Office near the clock tower at Arusha to say hello to Romeo and then we were in the flight back home after an exhilarating experience in that wonderland.
Animal sightings, River Crossings, Bird sightings, Sunset viewing was excellent, only thing missed was a kill that too by a whisker but we did see a lioness dragging the booty immediately after a kill. Afternoons being hot in Central Serengeti game drives was not undertaken from 1-3pm.
Would recommend Romeo and his team without hesitation, they are honest, transparent and reliable. No aggressive marketing, stuck to the basics and delivered a memorable Safari.

Superb 12 day private safari on a budget
We, a dutch couple (early 30's and well travelled) would like to recommend Safari Multiways to anybody wanting to do a safari in Tanzani.
They gave us a sharp price for an excellent safari,we did a 12 day private (all) northen parks camping safari.
The guide (Amos) and chef (Moses) are real professionals! Amos has an incrideble eye for wildlife ( he saw things other cars drove by and had an answer to all our questions) and Moses is a very nice guy who was able to cook a lot of divers meals during the safari.
We would also like to recommend to visiting the bushman at lake Eyasi, it is an once in a life time experience. And apparantly often misted by people going on safari.
Safari multiways has provided us with a very divers and attractive safari.

Great value for money
We went on a private 7-day camping safari with Multiways which they tailored to our ideas and itinerary suggestions. We toured Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara National Parks. Everything was perfectly organized and our guide ensured we got the most out of it. He is a great driver and a patient guide who spots animals well! We had a cook with us on the tour who delighted us with freshly and creatively prepared food – we were impressed by the meals he cooked in the simple camp kitchens! One thing we would like to mention is the fairly old equipment Multiways is operating with - from sleeping bags, to chairs to cars. Everything is still functional, but don’t expect anything fancy, after all it is a budget tour. During our safari we had a car break down in the middle of the Serengeti plains. However, Multiways handled the situation really well and with a bit of luck and their quick reaction we were able to continue the tour with only slight changes in the program. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we can definitely recommend Multiways for budget-friendly tours!

Great tour through Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire
We did a 5 day camping safari with Safari Multiways. We got perfect communication by email with Romeo. He replied very fast to any question or anything I asked for, so I had a really good feeling in advance. This was topped when we where in Tanzania. Airport transfer worked perfect, we talked to Romeo the next morning and shortly after the safari starts with our guide Amos and the cook Moses. The two guys are a dream team. Amos spotted every animal we wanted to see and Moses cooked really really good food!
We saw the great migration and a lot of cats and other animals. All in all it was the perfect trip and we will think and dream about this for our whole life. Don't think twice - DO IT!
