LovebirdSafaris is an amazing tour operator who will explore with you the best of Tanzanias wildlife
In August 2023 we spent 5 days with Adam, the owner of Lovebird Safaris, to go to Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park and the Ngorongro Crater.
Adam is the most kind and likable person and he has the unique ability to show you that exploring wildlife is not about rushing from sight to sight, but rather to be still and patient and wait for something to happen.
I don't know how he did it, but he always put his car in a spot where something breathtaking was happening, we just had to wait long enough. We had a family of elephants surrounding the car, a cheetah leaving it´s vista point running across the road right in front of us or Mama Elephant feeding her little baby. He always put us in the perfect spot to take amazing photos, even though we only used our mobile phone´s cameras.
One of the most extraordinary things was the picknick under a tree and using the toilet watching (or being watched?) by giraffes... And in the first days we already managed to see the Big Five, although the rhino was only a very small dot in the binoculars because it was so far away... Adam told us a lot about Tanzania, it´s people and culture and he even told us a Tanzanian song!
In just a few weeks we will visit Tanzania again, going to the Serengeti again and also to Tarangire and Arusha National Park. We will travel with Adam and this time we booked directly with him because his services last year were outstanding and we wanted to make sure that we spend as much time as possible with him, also meeting his wife and his other tour guides.
We cannot recommend Adam and Lovebird Safaris highly enough and we encourage everyone who wants to experience Tanzania and it's wildlife at it´s best to seek out the services of Adam and his team at Lovebird Safaris!

Great service beyond expectations
Lion King Adventures has been amazing with organizing our safari tour in Tanzania. Very well prepared and quite flexible to arrange the tour as per our needs. They were even flexible to change our schedule during our safari to accommodate an extra night in central Serengeti. Our safari guide Dominick was the best. He has 13 years experience and knows in and out of the entire Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater. He has great network with other guides within the parks and always communicating in the radio to know the best wildlife sightings within the region. He is very knowledgeable about all the animals, geography, vegetation and the culture of Tanzania. He was very respectful to the wildlife and nature inside the parks. All in all, I highly recommend Dominick and Lion King Adventures for the safari touring company and can’t be thankful enough for giving us this unbelievable and memorable experience!

It's pretty average, not bad. It's good for the price.
It's pretty good for the price. There were almost no private safaris in that price range.
And it's nice that they provide beer as well. We also provide wine in the evening.
But the tip is a bit expensive, asking for $15-$20 per person.

Amazing experience
We had a great safari at Polman's. Every day was special and a surprise as to which animals we would see. It ranged from elephants, giraffes, lions to beautiful birds. We were not short of anything with our driver Mohammed Jija.
Mohammed is a loving driver. He takes you all the way on the different rides.
He has a lot of experience and can tell a lot about the different animals.
You can ask him anything and he goes the extra mile to make every ride special. You just have to stop saying something else and he will do everything he can for the best and most beautiful photos. This was a beautiful and adventurous safari for us that we will never forget!
Compliments to Mohammed. If we go on safari again, we will definitely ask for Mohammed as a driver.
We recommend him 100%, actually more than 100%, as a director. We give Mohammed a 10+.

Fantastic budget priced safari
Our safari was very well organised from start to finish and Evans was a fantastic guide. We saw so many animals and had an amazing experience in the National parks. We were very well looked after by the staff at the accommodations, whuch were very good and food was excellent. We visited a Masai village which was very worthwhile.
One thing to note is that we were offered the option of paying for the safari by credit card but this turned out to be inconvenient and we wasted time on the first morning trying to get cash for the National Park entrance fees. It would be worth clarifying payment options before the day.
Overall a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend Lenchada for your safari!

Amazing 45 year Wedding Anniversary safari with Gerald of Landsman Experience!
From our first contact with Gerald before travelling to Africa he answered all questions and queries promptly and with his help we put together an itinerary to best suit our needs! He met us at our hotel on arrival in Arusha to go through the tour in detail and provide more information, timings and answered any questions we had. He was polite, extremely knowledgeable and we are so glad we chose Landsman for our first safari in Tanzania. We found him to be a superb guide and keen to make sure we had the best experience and see all the animals that we wanted! Sometimes getting us to sites before anybody else arrived ensuring we got some unique footage and amazing memories. Whilst on safari we celebrated our 45th Wedding Anniversary and Gerald organised a hot air balloon trip with Shine Balloon Safaris again another excellent choice and fantastic experience. He also presented us with a lovely gift and cards and organised for the hotel to provide us with a heart shaped cake and celebratory dancers to present it to us, which made the day so special and was a lovely touch and very thoughtful! On the safaris his knowledge of the animals and habitats was brilliant and interesting and we can honestly say that the safari far exceeded our expectations. We felt safe at all times with Gerald and he was genuinely keen to make sure we had the best time and we can only thank him sincerely for achieving that! We can highly recommend him and his company for the caring personal touch in the way they conduct their business.
