Ayub is the best of the best! We saw the big 5, & so much more! His eye is unmatched!
I highly recommend Ayub, my guide—he was top tier. When we were telling other people what we had seen, they couldn’t believe it.
Serengeti Clarity (SC) was one of a few outfits I had reached out to and what I liked was Frank’s quick responses on WhatsApp. However, that didn’t always work in our favor as he indicated that our flights were included in the WhatsApp conversation but not the pdf. My advice to you is IF IT’S NOT IN THE PRESENTATION PDF IT IS NOT INCLUDED. So have every company you do business with itemize every single thing that is in your package. Is it full board? Which excursions are included in the price? Which specific accommodations? If you are arranging your own flights, which time is best for your itinerary? Think all that through. Frank was really apologetic about the mistake and went out of his way to make it up to us. I think that is the important takeaway from this scenario.
Having said that, you are probably wondering why my review is still so high—my Safari was just that amazing.
Frank gave me several options in my price range and I just did your standard reading pf reviews to find accommodations I was happy with. Every hotel was as described and we never paid for food only wine at the hotels.
One of the things that set SC apart beyond Ayub, was the food. We were stuffed everyday from scrumptious homemade meals. There was none of the boxed meals so many outfits provided. We had a full spread family style meal at every lunch in the field. It felt more special and less like I was a kid in elementary school on a field trip. They also provided wine or beer as an option.
Every place we went asked about food allergies and sincerely went out of their way to make sure we were happy. The hospitality here was top notch.
At the end of the day, every outfit visits the same place. The vehicles for safari are interchangeable; the people you entrust with your safety are not. I am glad we took our chance on Serengeti Clarity because I gained a lifetime of memories for having done so. Hakuna Matata

Humphrey and Deo were awesome guides!
Our group of young people loved our safari experience. The group spent the previous week with the church community of Uswaa and the safari was a great finale to our trip. We enjoyed having knowledgeable and fun guides that enabled us to see and learn as much as possible.
Brenda and the staff were very accommodating to our group's needs.
I'm grateful that we trusted Tanzania Choice Safaris with our group's once in a lifetime experience. Our group was able to make some great memories on safari!

The best safari experience
Our family had the best 3-days safari tour in Tanzania! Many thanks to Ene who helped to disign the tour according to our wishes and our tour guide/driver Abdul who knows a lot about animals and their habits. We really enjoyed our nights at the Baobab Tented Camp and Siafu Lodge. Both places are clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful. At Siafu Lodge my husband was surprised by the staff members in his birthday morning - a freshly baked birthday cake! Estonian flag in front of the Lodge made us feel home. So, Siafu Tanzania Safaris Ltd is not just a safari tour operator but they are trustful and they really care of their customers. Thank you!

Great guide, but improve city driving, vehicle condition, and dietary requirement handling.
I would like to express my gratitude for the exceptional experience provided by our safari guide. His expertise and keen eye were evident as he spotted most animals before any of us did, all while driving. His ability to navigate and provide insightful commentary greatly enhanced our safari experience.
However, there are a few areas where improvements could be made. The drive through the city felt quite fast and aggressive at times, which made me a bit anxious about the possibility of a collision. A more relaxed driving pace would contribute to a safer and more comfortable experience for passengers.
The safari vehicle itself felt somewhat old and worn. Specifically, the door handle on my side was not functioning, making it impossible to open the door from inside the vehicle. Additionally, I was unable to open my window, which detracted from the overall comfort and enjoyment of the safari.
Moreover, despite emailing and confirming our dietary requirements in advance, there was an issue with my son's meal. He has an egg allergy, yet he received a meal containing eggs and had to rely on snacks and medication as a result. After bringing this to the driver's attention, all subsequent meals were accurate and met our needs. I appreciate the prompt resolution but believe that more attention to dietary requirements from the start would prevent such issues.
In conclusion, while the safari guide's expertise and the overall experience were commendable, addressing these areas would significantly enhance the quality of service. Thank you for considering this feedback.

Outstanding adventure
Our tour was simply amazing. We enjoyed every moment of it. We were extremely lucky to get a chance to see the big 5. Our tour guide (Soloman) was extremely knowledgeable and nice. I travelled with my wife and our 4 children. Solomon knew exactly where to go and provided us with hystorical facts about the area and wildlife. We couldnt have asked for a better tour guide. This was a trip of a lifetime.

Best Tour Operator that we have had ghe pleasure of dealing with
Safari Online was professional, considerate and from our brief Walter Kohrs declped a tailor-made tour of the Okavango Delta that was perfect for our family. We were kept informed and updated along the way from the initial proposed tour video to the final app with all our tour information. Safari Online worked within our budget and presented us with an amazing experience that was well worth the expense as everything was included in the price.
Compliments to Wilderness Safaris who managed our local Botswana travel to the Okavango. Transfers to and from the various camps by small aircraft proceeded like clockwork without any delays or complications.
We visited three Camps in the Delta and Linyanti Concession-
Tubu Tree Camp was beauifully appointed and met all our expectations - hospitality of the staff, comfort of the lodge, excellent game drives and plentiful nutrional and tasty meals. We felt pampered at all times, nothing was too much trouble for the staff.
Pelo Camp was a gem on a beautiful island, small intimate setting and refreshingly rustic with amazing attentive staff who were friendly and wonderful hosts. The food was exceptional. The beauty of this camp was it's location on the overwhelming vast waterways to navigate by mokoro and boat wih an abundance of bird sightings. We also experinced great game drives and incredible sunsets from this camp.
Our final destination was Wilderness Savuti Camp. The rooms were beautifully appointed with all the amenties of a 5 star Lodge. The meals were substantial and delcious with a wide variety at each meal to cater for everoune's palate. A highlight was going on a night game drive to see nocturnal animals not always visible in the day.
All the camps welcomed us to boma evenings which were heartwarming and special, giving us a glimpse of all the staff that contributed in making our visit to each of the camps so incredible and memorable.
Thank you Botswana, we will never forget you and your people!

Outstanding journey designers, wonderful stay
Our trip was wonderful thanks to The Soul Of Tanzania. They provide outstanding service, advice and help. Our journey designer Jose was very professional and always responded to our emails very quickly, making us feel supported every time we had any kind of question and request.
We were also very happy with the taxi driver that came and picked us up from the airport, he was very professional and gave us an interesting lesson on the history of Tanzania on our way to Arusha. Burunge and Acacia camps exceeded our expectations, they were beautiful and the staff was always welcoming and attentive to our every need as well as the food that was fresh, healthy and local. We appreciated that the food had traditional dishes, spices and flavors. In Rhino lodge the rooms were satisfactory but the food was delicious and everybody was, as always, very kind and helpful.
We were extremely happy with our safari guide Lom. He is extraordinarily talented, competent, kind and was very attentive to our needs and interests, he is truly a five star guide. He is also very precious because he shared his Maasai culture with us and in addition to knowing all the safari animals he is also very good in identifying and finding birds. He is also a very careful and safe driver. If we were to return we would definitely ask for him once again and we highly recommend him as a safari guide to your future clients.
A 10/10 trip!
