Kind and thoughtful
I went on a six-day safari, which turned out to be an amazing way to experience the diverse landscapes of Tanzania. The tour company put together a well-planned itinerary with great lodges and national parks, and every stop exceeded my expectations. Highlights included the Serengeti safari, with a stunning lodge right in the heart of the savannah, and the unforgettable views at Ngorongoro. Even our stay in a remote Maasai village was a unique and memorable experience. The only feedback I’d give the tour operator is to improve communication a bit, both before and during the trip. Asante sana Serengeti African Tours!

Fun, varied introduction to Nairobi's top sites
We chose this tour as an introductory safari before we travelled to other parts of East Africa, and we weren't disappointed.
Our guide, Harrison, was warm, friendly and knowledgeable. His customer service was excellent. Communications from the company's head office were clear and excellent.
The tour includes three really different wildlife experiences, and we enjoyed all of them.

Amazing Safari Adventure
We had an unforgettable experience with Antonio Safaris! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, ensuring we spotted incredible wildlife—lions, elephants, cheetahs and even a rare leopard among many other. The itinerary was perfectly planned, balancing adventure with relaxing moments in stunning lodges.
Everything from logistics to accommodations was top-notch, making this safari well worth the investment. Highly recommend Antonio Safaris for a memorable and responsible safari experience!

Wonderful places, a journey between comfort and authenticity
We chose to visit Tanzania with Kili Sky, and we were very satisfied. Arriving from Italy, we traveled in 3 on the off-road vehicle. Daniel is a multilingual driver (he speaks more than 6 languages perfectly!), friendly and very attentive to the needs of tourists.
In addition to what we knew we would visit (Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Tarangire, Ndutu, Lake Eyasi, Lake Natron), he took us to meet local populations, to learn about their history, and to places of incredible beauty, nature in Tanzania is surprising. We were able to see the migration of zebras and Gnu, the big cats, and get close to giraffes, elephants...
We chose to sleep in a lodge but also in a tent, it was very nice and in any case we were always accompanied to safe and quiet places. We also had the opportunity to spend a few days in Zanzibar, alone, but organized by Kili Sky.
Excellent value for money, the cost of the trip was definitely cheaper than other proposals.

Wow! Wow! Wow! What a trip with Amshar and Calvin the guidtour
We went throught Amshar to a private honeymoon safari tour and what an amazing trip it was!
At first, we want to recommend our safari tour guide name Calvin. We been with him for 8 days in a row and it was like we were travelling with our friend.
Not just a friend, he really cared about us and was very professional.
More than that, he really cared that we would see each and every animal, loveley time with him.
The organization with Amshar was very smooth.
We planned with him the trip, the hotels and it was very nice,smooth and flowing.
To conclude, it was amazing trip very much because of the animals, Calvin and of course behind the scenes Amshar.
Totally reccomend.

Experience that exceeded our expectations
Parks visited: Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro.
My friend and I booked this trip to celebrate my bday as I'd always been keen to do a safari in Tanzania and it was amazing. The team for the safari, the people, landscapes, food, and the animals were all greeeat. It was a 6-people group tour, we found out who the other 4 people were once we arrived to Arusha, but it was a match! Our guide (Julius) and cook (Nixon), made the trip a wonderful moment too. They were both really arranging, both for finding the animals that interested us and for the choice of food. You wont be disappointed by the food (even if it consists of +/- the same elements every day, the sauces they make are delicious).
We slept in tents for the nights between the Serengeti and Ngorongoro game drives and the fact that you sleep in tents close to/in the national parks is an experience on its own! Not because you couldn't do it anywhere else, but because you go to sleep or wake up and there are all sort of wild animals around! (which you don't get in Paris, where we live). We even had a toilet-blocking elephant for a day who was eating up all the trees around our tents (luckily none fell on top of our tent). It also gives you the chance of looking at the animals for longer than in the game drives and take some more pics 😉
We managed to see the famous "big five". I don't know if it's because of the period of the year we visited (oct 29-nov 6), but there are cubs of all animals everywhere (so expect to see baby animals around). We loved photographing those cuties!
The parks are all different. Although people say that Tarangire and Lake Manyara are similar, the distribution of animals is different and you get to see more Baobabs in Tarangire. Serengeti definitely needs a visit of at least 2 full days, the place is huge, and the more time spent there, the more chances of finding leopards and cheetahs (there are less easy to find than lions)! Ngorongoro is magical, but it is definitely colder than the other parks (so don't forget your warm clothes for when the sun isn't there).
We had to stay over a whole extra day in Arusha before our flight back home (just because the flights were cheaper ^^) and the people from Cubs Exp. were super arranging for that too. The price is excellent for what you get and Tanzania is a perfect place for a first safari!
Our final message to all the people we met: Thanks for the experience, we keep a warm memory in our hearts!
Amazing experience, start to finish
My husband and I had the best experience, from booking until the end of the safari experience. Novatus was so communicative, responsive and helpful throughout the entire experience; which was important for us being unfamiliar with going on a safari. If we get a chance to do another safari, we will 100% book through Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris.

We could not be happier. First rate company and experience from the planning to the amazing safari.
Quite simply our experience with Ro Scavenger Safaris was amazing from beginning to end.
I sought quotes from 8 companies for a moderate budget. The dates we were looking at were in mid October which is a good time to visit, a little less expensive yet before the rainy season.
Ro Scavenger had excellent reviews, was the most reasonable and was a local company, which was important to us. And so I began a conversation with Silas who listened to our desires and concerns and planned our 8 day safari. He is knowledgeable and his responses were always prompt and helpful and he modified our original plan to accommodate changes for hotels and to add a night in the north Serengeti to hopefully see the tail end of the migration. A risk but we were lucky. The final itinerary included Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti for 3 nights, and Ngorongoro. We were in three hotels and four tents camps. We loved the tent camps which were quite luxurious, with comfortable beds, and really added to the experience. I was also pleasantly surprised when I realized we were getting a private safari - great value for the price. A much better deal than the one a friend purchased through an overseas tour group with six people per jeep.
The safari more than lived up to our expectations and for this we give thanks and a special shout out to our driver and guide, Michael. Michael went out of his way to ensure we were well looked after and our experience was memorable. He was friendly, knowledgeable and kind. We saw so much and learned so much from him. Eight hours in a range rover simply flew by. During our safari, we saw herds of animals up close, witnessed a lioness chase a warthog, wildebeast migrate across the river and a crocodile drown one.
Finally, even though we were on a moderate budget, the accommodations, hotels and tents, were excellent as was the food, which was usually a buffet. The vehicle was well-maintained and comfortable.
