An amazing experience provided by absolute professionals
Our whole experience with Multiways was amazing. Communications prior to our 9 day safari was excellent with all email correspondence answered promptly and accurately. Service during the safari provided by Amos (Driver) and Doggo (cook) really set the scene for a great time. Amos, through his experience, easy going nature and personality ensured that we saw everything possible including birds, wildlife including the big five, snakes and magnificent landscapes. It was everything we could have expected. Doggo provided excellent meals even though he often had limited facilities with which to knock up a meal. It was always done with a smile and nothing was too much for him. It just wasn't fair when the baboon pinched his Coke at Lobo Camp!!! Tents and sleeping equipment provided were adequate for our purposes. Use of bigger LED rechargeable lights and better camp chairs would be a great addition to camp equipment.

Very pleased with our trip, terrific wildlife viewing and were looked after well by our guide- Amos
There were four of us in our group. In the lead up to our trip our emails were always answered promptly. The trip delivered on all that it promised. We did a camping safari and were well looked after. Food was good and plentiful.
Would recommend to others and if we ever returned to Tanzania, we would definitely consider using this company again.

9 Day Camping Safari in Tanzania - 4 Adults with Driver/Guide and Cook
We had read the reviews on Safari Multiways and were impressed so we decided to give them a try. We weren't disappointed. From our first contact with Romeo via email we received prompt and helpful responses to all our questions. His suggestions regarding our safari and assistance with bookings both before and after it helped make our entire stay in Tanzania a great experience.
As for the safari itself, we were lucky enough to have Amos as our driver/guide and he was a pleasure to travel with. His experience and knowledge were excellent. We wanted to spot birds as well as animals and Amos was able to point out and identify many species. Dogoo, our cook, was also amazing, producing meals that satisfied us all, including one gluten free traveler. Amos and Dogoo were very flexible in how they catered to our requirements and definitely added value to what was already a great trip.
Travelling and camping in Tanzania is fairly rough for 55+ year olds and we knew to expect that. The roads are rough and dusty as you get further in to the Serengeti but Amos was able to navigate us around in reasonable comfort. The safari car we had was clean, comfortable and reliable but it is not luxury. Viewing was excellent and Amos found us many lions as well as cheetahs and leopards and numerous other great sightings. He also got us to 2 river crossings of wildebeest and had to assist several other vehicles that had broken down or became bogged. It was reassuring to know he knew what to do as we got bogged in sand one morning. Nothing was too difficult.
Overall we were very impressed with Safari Multiways and the service provided to us. I have no hesitation in recommending them if you are considering travel in Tanzania. One thing that we were not aware of was how flexible they can be with your itinerary. If you have your own plans or ideas then let Romeo know and he will work with you to make your dream safari a reality.

Amazing ! Worth it :-)
We've booked a 9 days Safari including Tanrangire, Natron Lake, Lengai, Serengeti, Empakaai, Olmoti, Ngorongoro with Safari Multiways : just awesome ! Personal advice : be prepared to be tired if you do the same ;-)
I've planned 1 motnth before the itinerary with Romeo who's very patient, pro and really wants to help you to do exactly what you want.
And guess what, no problem, everything happened exactly as planned. And the price was very attractive.
We've gone with Renatus, an excellent cook ! Everyday we had a different meal, big portion (too big sometimes, impossible to finish), good food ! A nice man who helped us all journey long.
For the first 2 days, Amos was our guide and driver. Very good ! We saw a lot of animals, he showed us a lions hunt (far but cool) and gave us a lot of explanations about wildlife.
Then, Omary was our new driver and guide for the rest of the trip and he was excellent too ! He's a very good driver, I mean, drive well but also he reacts fast (we didn't miss any single animal) and he puts you in the very best position to see animals. Maybe you will not be the first one to arrive but I can guarantee, you will be placed like a king, just in front of the lion or the leopard to watch him very well. He knows very well his job, always gives us a lot of explanations, very social, nice and cool (always a pleasure to have diner with him), speak excellent english and he's passionate ! In addition to that, he will show you all the animals, and by all, I mean all (big 5 ok for us and seeing a Rhino is very rare). For instance, just for us, we've seen : 30 lions, 1 rhinos, 3 cheetah, 4 leopard, 5 crocodiles, 4 hyenas and for the rest, it counts by dozen :-)
So I can highly recommend SM.
Thank you guys, it was amazing !

Excellent tour operator, great people
We went to a Safari in Tanzania in July 2018 with Safari Multiways. We were a group of 5 people, 28-35 years old with a good experience in traveling with local tour operators around the world, but at our first time in Africa. We wanted a 10 days budget safari, combining both camping and basic accommodations. I would not go in detail about our safari as this is intended to be a review for the tour operator, not for the trip itself.
I personally contacted several tour operators over the internet and after comparing itineraries and hundreds of mail from different operators, we decided to book with Safari Multiways. Interacting with Romeo was very easy: he speaks a good english and perfectly understand our needs. Combining our requests with his experience, he could provide us a perfectly tailor made itinerary, at a much lower price than most of the other operator. He arranged everything, so we did not have to worry about anything.
When we arrived in Arusha we were introduced to our driver and guide (Omari) and our cook (Pasco). I must say that that they were both amazing: Omari was a careful driver, very friendly with us! He was very committed to giving us the best chances to spot the animals while remaining respectful of the rules and the quiet of the parks, giving advices and informations about wildlife. We established a very good relationship through the entire trip and had fun together. Pasco was able to cook delicious meals also in tough conditions of the bush campsites with the equipment and gear that we were taking with us.
The choice of the campsites and hotel was perfect, conveniently placed in the best position not to waste time. The condition of the campsites was basic, but we requested so. The only slight complain I have to do is about the camping gear and tents, that were quite old and in not perfect condition, although reasonably clean: but I must say that we were in peak season, and we bargained a lot on the price to save money. We have met other tourists of the same company and their gear looked more recent: so I supposed that is also a little bit our fault that we negotiated too much.
In the end, our experience was 100% positive, and if I will go back to Tanzania for another Safari I will use the same company again, for sure.
Romeo organized a great safari, and Omari and Pasco made it unforgettable!

Fantastic safari tour
The safari was fantastic - I ended up with a 10 day safari which included Manyara, Tarangire, Lake Eyasi, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater! From the beginning where I contacted Romeo, he was very helpful to help me put together an itinerary that suited my needs and responded quickly.
The guide, Amos, and cook, Vincent, were also great throughout the entire trip. Amos was fantastic at spotting animals from a mile away, even though it would take me a good few minutes to finally locate what he was looking at! He was also incredibly knowledgeable on all the wildlife, and details on why animals acted one way or the other. In addition to seeing all the animals, he also knowledgeably pointed out so many different birds and their names spot-on. Would highly recommend Amos as a guide!
Vincent, our cook, also made great meals and was always in great spirits. He always asked us if the meals were sufficient and if we had enough lunch to eat for our packed boxes. Would definitely also recommend Vincent!
Overall, had a great experience with Safari Multiways and would recommend the company as a whole!

Someone we can trust
I traveled with 3 friends to Tanzania and Kenya, and we wanted to do a Safari to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro not so expensive (budget safari), so we started to do a vast research thanks to the Lonely Planet advices (some really nice agencies but expensive as well) and in safaribookings.com we found Safari Multiways with the best offer (price and quality), so we took contact with them and we always received a quick, kind and clear reponse of all the details that we wanted to know.
So, afte to compared like 10 different agencies or more, we chose Safari Multiways, for the price/quality rapport and we also had a really good feeling with his owner (Romeo).
Once being there, the services were as they describe it, really profesionnal, our guide (Omari) was nice outgoing person, profesional and always care about us to see all the best of the fauna. We really feel that he knows all about the fauna, parks and everything. Our cooker, Popo was really nice also, always with good food.
If I do another safari in north of Tanzania, I will not hesitate to do it with them !

Fully loaded 4 days budget safari with a lot of animal encounters. We loved it!
Overall experience:
Our group of four is very satisfied with what Safari Multiways had to offer us. The experience gave us real value for money and we can do nothing but recommend Safari Multiways.
Particularly positive things:
- Tasty food made by our very own cook. Thank you Dogo!
- Informative, patient and fun guide. Thank you Moses!
- We felt really well taken care of, both by the company itself and by our guide.
- Our needs and wishes were listened to and we felt that the trip was custom-fitted for us, both in regards to what animals we wanted to see and where to go.
- The chosen camp sites were satisfying in regards to equipment and facilities. Just be prepared that you get what you pay for, and that you will literally sleep among the animals!
- The booking was smooth and we had contact with the company which allowed us to raise our questions before the trip.
Things that could be improved:
- The schedule we got in advance from the agency did not fully tie in with the schedule which was presented by our guide. This led to a couple of smaller misunderstandings.
- The payment was made in cash (TZS) the night before the safari, which was not practical. We thought we could withdraw USD in Arusha, but that was not possible.

A wonderful adventure with Safari Multiways
We had a 6 day safari through northern Tanzania with Safari Multiways and had a great time. The driver/guide Moses was very knowledgeable, he definitely knew his animals (and birds, which was a bonus), he also provided great company. We saw all the major species and many others. Accommodation and food was very good, the poorest place we stayed at was in fact one that we changed to.
