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.

Excellent, authentic and professional safari experience with Safari Multiways
We could not have been happier with Romeo from Safari Multiways. He helped us define the tour and provide advice regarding the itinerary for our 7-day safari trip. The communication was always clear and very prompt and they managed to secure our preferred accommodation that we otherwise heard were fully booked.
In terms of our guide and driver, we had a very enjoyable time with Amosi who was knowledgable, entertaining and put us at ease. The days in the jeep can be long and intense but he always put as at ease and was fantastic driver and spotted all the wildlife like no one else. Thanks very much for the amazing trip!!

Amazing! Everything I hoped for and more...
I’ve just came back from a 7 days safari (8-16 february 2018) organized by Safari Multiways.
I discovered this small company in Safari Booking site. I asked for a safari itinerary and a quote.
Romeo, the owner, replied promptly to my email and sent me a tour itinerary at a lower price than most of the other companies that I had written to.
Romeo was very helpful, he gave me a lot of information & gave me pricing for a lot of options. We were on a tight budget & I wanted to get the most out of my trip. He also helped me plan in a way that had no "wasted"days.
The final tour was: Tarangeire (1 day), Lake Manyara (1 day) , Ndutu (south Serengeti) to see the migration of wildebeests (2 days), Central Serengeti (2 days), Ngoro Ngoro Crater (1 day).
I payed 30% of the total cost in advance by credit caed to confirm the hotel reservations and I payed the balance in cash at SM office when I arrived in Arusha.
During the safari our driver, Amos, was very professional and skilled in spotting wild animals in the savannah. He was friendly, answered all our questions and worked to meet all our requirements. He cleanned the jeep every morning before leaving the camp and starting a new game drive.
The Toyota Land Cuiser was in good condition.
I liked the Serengeti and Ndutu Heritage Tented camps in The Serengeti. They are really wonderful camps: high standard of services, nice and comfortable tents and delicious food. Really great accommodations.
What else can I add? This was our first safari in Tanzania and we enjoyed it very much thanks to the professionalism and reliability of Safari Multiways.
I highly recommend this company.

Amazing! Everything I expected and more...
Romeo was a great communicator through the whole booking process giving advice on any questions we had. Upon arrival his customer service was amazing providing us with a driver and was very patient with us as we experienced trouble with our credit card company in trying to pay. The safari was everything we hoped for and expected. A amazing experienced guide and a dependable vehicle. Would definitely use Safari Multiways in the future and would recommend it to anyone wanting a great safari experience!

Outstanding itinerary and guide
We had a fabulous safari designed by Romeo, the owner, and led by Omeray, our guide. We were looking for something a little bit different and Romeo listened to what we wanted and came through with a perfect itinerary. We spent two weeks traveling to five different locations at our desired pace with excellent accommodation. Omeray was absolutely fantastic. He catered to our every need, was excellent at spotting animals, is a safe driver and knew the answer to all our questions about the wildlife and the culture of Tanzania. We visited Arusha National Park, Lake Manyara, Tarangire, the Ndutu region, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Every region had its unique features and we are so glad we had the opportunity to see them all. We saw the big five and many, many, more animals, saw breathtaking vistas, and learned much about the wonderful country of Tanzania.
