Great 2-day fly-in safari (from Zanzibar): Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater
Great 2-day flight-in safari from Zanzibar. After our booked safari was canceled due to flight schedules one week in advance, we had to book quickly a new one. I have asked a few quotes from different companies (same safari: Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater). Due to the value for money, the quick response and the flexibility, I have chosen Kiboko. We had two 6-person-cars with 8 persons (2 kids), so everyone could enjoy the view and search for animals.
We had a pick-up at our hotel in Stone Town, nearly morning flight to Arusha and a game drive at Tarangire National Park (including lunch). We did spot some lions, elephants, giraffes, pumbas, monkeys, etc. In the evening we stayed at Bougainvillea Lodge in Karatu (nice cabins, swimming pool and dinner). The lodge is located near the Ngorongoro Crater National Park.
The next day we went to the Ngorongoro Crater National Park, which has many animals. Because it is in a crater, the animals are always there and easy to spot. We even spotted the black rhino (two of them were running in the direction of our Toyota Cruiser). I was in the car with Robert as driver & guide, and he told us many things about the behaviour of the animals. He is very experienced and great in telling stories about the park and about the animals. We also saw multiple lions, some hyenas, some elephants, a large group of buffalos, many zebras and many wildebeasts, flamingos, hippos, etc. Everywhere we looked, there were animals.
After lunch at the park, we went to the lodge for an hour to cool down in the swimming pool, and then we had to drive for 3,5 hours to Kilimanjaro Airport for our evening flight back to Zanzibar. Kiboko also arranged the transfer (and luggage storage during our safaris) to our beach villa at the east side of the island.
So, as all the safaris go to the parks and probably the same, the choice is about value for money, flexibility and what's included. We really enjoyed to have a safari organized by Kiboko, and would definitely recommend this one. One remark: please be aware that with the money transfer the bank takes 5%, which it added to the bill.

Great Safari Experience
My recent safari with African Tazanite was a remarkable journey into Africa's wilderness. From the outset, the manager's (Ezrom) dedication and professionalism were evident as they meticulously designed a personalised trip that matched our preferences. They also take into account the language you speak so in our case, our guide was a Spanish speaker. Throughout our adventure, the landscapes and wildlife created unforgettable memories. We saw a great variety of animals and got to witness wildebeest and zebras' migration through Serengeti and baby lions breastfeeding! For us, the highlight of the trip was Ngorongoro crater that was completely green this time of the year. If you visit in March, I would recommend to spend more days in there and skip Lake Manyara, for example.
Overall, I highly recommend African Tanzanite to anyone seeking a safari experience as they also offer competitive prices compared to other agencies.

Unforgettable and good customer care
I and my sisters took a safari with Magwar Escapades in March and we had an amazing experience! Our guide Moses was so kind and comical that we enjoyed every bit of the safari. We saw all the big five and several other animals.
The food and the accomodations were top notch! Ephie who helped plan the safari was always responsive and swift. She incorporated our ideas in planning and executing our safari. Thank you so much Team Magwar Escapades, you are the best! I would highly Recommend you.

Ali is a great communicator and has a charming personality.
We did a half day tour from Johannesburg to Pretoria with Ali. The stops were interesting, but Ali made the trip special for us. He was very informative about history, politics and culture. It was like traveling with an old friend, and he gave us personal and detailed answers to all our questions. We highly recommend Ali for anyone visiting the Joburg and Pretoria areas.
