Great safari!
Overall a fantastic tour with a great guide and a great chef! We saw four of the big five up close. We really recommend this operator to anyone looking for a budget option safari.

Very friendly safari company
We went on a 3-day, 2-night safari with Safari Multiways in May this year whilst visiting Tanzania for a wedding. The service provided was excellent from the start - after making an online enquiry via SafariBookings, we received a very quick response from Romeo the manager, detailing possible itineraries and prices. Booking was simple via email. Because of technical reasons we were unable to wire transfer the deposit but this was not a problem. When we arrived in Arusha we visited the office and got a very friendly reception from the staff - our guide was even sitting outside on the street all day with a our names on a sign waiting for us to arrive! And he took us all around the town helping us to use the banks as we were having problems with many of the cash machines!
On the first day of our safari, our driver guide collected us from our hotel. The vehicle was comfortable, with plenty of room for our luggage. As there were only 2 of us, we always had great views and were able to take some fantastic photos. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all the animals and a lot of the birds too. We visited Tarangire, Ngorogoro Crater and Lake Manyara over the 3 days. Each was beautiful and each different in terms of landscape and the animals and birds we saw. Our favourite moment was when our driver told us to "Close your eyes and don't open until I tell you to" - and when we opened our eyes 30 seconds later we were parked up with a lion and cubs sleeping just a few feet away from the jeep!
Accommodation was in lodges - both were lovely and provided good dinner and breakfast. On the second night, there were buffalo roaming around below just outside our room which really added to the whole experience! The lodges provided a nice packed lunch too.
We had a great time on our safari and would highly recommend Safari Multiways to anyone. They are a small company yet are professional, friendly, very accommodating and helpful. Many thanks to Safari Multiways for such a fabulous experience!

Fabulous 3-day Safari
We could not have been more satisfied with our experience with Safari Multiways during a recent 3-day safari covering Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire. From the outset, Romeo Rweza was upfront about the details and costs and quick to respond to our numerous queries in planning a trip tailored to our needs. The safari itself was flawless. It quickly became clear that Amos our friendly guide was very experienced and very sharp at spotting wildlife - including 3 male cheetah in Tarangire, with whom we had 30 minutes to ourselves before calling them in. If he was a little rusty on birdlife, that was a more a reflection on the usual priorities of the clients - he seemed to relish the opportunity to brush up on this. Accommodation-wise, we stayed at the very homely Rhino lodge at Ngorongoro and opted to pay a little extra and stay at the Lake Manyara Wildlife Lodge which provided a truly exceptional experience, including breakfast on a terrace to view dawn over the Rift Valley. Our trip was during the Easter low season. Perhaps we were just lucky, but we saw more wildlife than I'd seen on 6 previous high season trips to Tanzania's parks, were with far fewer vehicles / visitors in the parks, and all at very reasonable prices. I would both unreservedly recommend this operator and I would endorse a low season safari to the 3 parks we visited.

Excellent service, flexible planning and great guide
The planning of the Safari with Romeo was very good he replied promptly to all emails and made suggestions to adapt the itineray to suit our arrival and departure situation. The accommodation chosen for the Safari was very good with special mention for the Tortilies tented camp in the Serengeti. The choices in accomodation allowed to keep the budget of the trip down. The vehicle used was the standard Toyota Land Cruiser 4x4 with opening top with seating for 5 passengers (we were only 2 so we had plenty of space). Our vehicle was a bit old and showed the wear of many long trips, but it was solid and we actually had to help other newer vehicles form other companies that had broken down.
Our guide Patrick did an excellent job throughout, he was very good at finding the animals and commenting about them and teh envrironment. When he said ok we will look for a leopard, rhino or a cheetah it was not very long before we would find one. He was also flexible and accommodated our wishes.
Overall we were very happy with our Safari and would heartily recommend Multiways.

Fantastic value for money
After significant research on cost and itineraries I settled for this particular company - granted their website is not great and there are not a ton of reviews BUT the pacage we had for the 3 of us was excellent. We had a driver a cook for the 8 days of camping and it was the best way to do a safari in my opinion (unless of course you really want to drop 3k for overpriced soulless lodges.) Camping is NOT for everyone but it was perfect for us. We were avid photographers so the driver had a great sense of where to find the elusive animals. There are never any guarantees that you will find what you want but he kept driving until he found them. I used to think my eyesight was good but this guy was unbelievable - he could see a leopard in a tree at over 400m.
Thoroughly recommend. Amazing trip.

A priceless and unforgettable adventure!!!
We are very happy with our safari with multiways. Romeo is very kind and helpful. Everything went exactly as expected. We did a 6 day camping safari and went to Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. It was definitely the best price compared with other companies. The camping safari is not luxury at all but it has its charms. For example when we woke up an elephant was next to our tent. Our guide Patrick knew so much about wildlife. He was very enthusiast in letting us see everything. We took everything out of the six days. We left around 7 in the morning and we stopped with the game drive around 6 in the evening. We saw the big 5 and even more spectacular 2 lions on their honeymoon!! Our chef Pasko was very good! The food was every time a surprise and always very tasteful. I would definitely recommend multiways. If you want a safari where you will see a lot of animals and have good meals but don't mind living without luxury this is the best choice for the best price! Thank you Romeo, Patrick and Pasko for the wonderful adventure!

An unforgettable adventure
From the 17th of July we did a 8 day safari tour with Safari Multiways. The contact with the owner of the company, Romeo, was very good. A quick response and very helpful in making a good programme. As we wanted to hike and a canoo tour this was added in our safari.
My boyfriend and I were picked up from Kilimanjaro Airport and brought to a hotel in Arusha. The next day we were picked up by Amos (the guide), Moses (the cook) and Piuc (an intern). Our 8 days consisted of Arusha National park, Tarangire National park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Empakaai (and hiking in the highlands), Serengeti (central and north), Lake Natron and climbing mount Ol Doinyo Lengai (the cook made us extra pancakes as we needed power for a 11 hour hike) . During our whole week the atmosphere was very good. The guide was very enthousiastic and has a lot of knowledge. It was very nice to spot all the different animals with him. The cook was a very funny guy and the food was good every time; three times a day. We slept in tents which was what we expected, the sounds of hyena's made us fell asleep in the Serengeti. The 4 by 4 car was big enough to be comfortable for the two of us, during the safari we were standing with an open roof. In the different parks the guide gave us all the time we needed to make pictures.
In conclusion, we are happy that we booked with Safari Multiways. It is a smaller company, run by extremely kind Tanzanian people with a very good price-quality ratio.

Great value for a great experience
Really enjoyed our 5 day camping safari. Omar the guide and Moses the cook were both very helpful and informative. Omar had great knowledge of the parks and animals, hence we managed to see all of the Big Five! It was definitely great value and the airport transfer was much appreciated. Unfortunately the iteniery said we would stay at three lodges and we only ended up staying in one. Really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend Safari Multiways to anyone!

Affordable, flexible and really friendly
We did our 4 days lodge safari with Patrick the guide. Organising and fine-tuning it was really easy, with Romeo most accommodating to our itinerary (we were picked up and dropped off in Nairobi, with private transfer to and from Arusha organised by Romeo). Communication via email was good, with response coming from Romeo very fast. Patrick is very friendly, helpful, knows a lot about wildlife, where and what to look for. Managed to see big 5. I have no hesitation to recommend Safari Multiways if one wants to do safari in Tanzania. Hope we can find some time to do it again with them.

They made us fall in love with Tanzania
Safari Multiways exceeded all of our expectations. During the planning, Romeo and Mbarak were very patient with all our requests and inquires. They executed the agreed upon program without a hitch. Amos was our guide and he was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The airlines lost our luggage, we kept forgetting small items in the lodges we stayed in and safari Multiways solved all these problems for us. The only thing I would suggest is to update the interior of the Safari vehicle to make it a little more comfortable. I planned this trip for 7 family members and everyone is so happy, they designated me the vacation planner of the family.
