An incredible experience
Quite frankly, a top-notch experience.
The whole trip, from pick-up at the hotel to drop-off at the hotel, including the flight (Flight Link) and the safari itself, was very well organized.
The Serengeti Park is extraordinary, with an amazing diversity and concentration of animals.
Frankly, it's a must-see, especially in November when there's no rush of 4x4s.
A word of advice: bring warm clothing and a Kway, as it can rain and temperatures can quickly cool, especially in NGorongoro.
Bring a pair of binoculars, or arrange for them with Kilipath in advance (I don't know if they offer them). We hadn't done so and missed it a bit.
For our part, with hindsight, we would have preferred the 3rd night (the one before visiting the Ngorongoro Crater) to have been spent in this park rather than at KARATU (name of the lodge: Farm of Dreams Lodge). In fact, this lodge is very nice, but it's quite a long drive to get there, and the next day back to Ngorongoro Crater in the opposite direction. After that, the whole organization is flexible, so it's possible to manage that with Kilipath I imagine.
Finally, a small point of detail: when it says that beer and wine are included in the package, this means that these drinks are free and available in the 4x4 cooler. On the other hand, at the lodges where you'll be staying, you'll have to pay for aperitifs and/or drinks at the table.
Finally, don't hesitate to take a small thermos to make yourself a coffee in the lodge room and take it with you (e.g.: last day departure at 05:30 a.m.) before setting off on safari.
We 100% recommend
And the super cool thing is that you keep the same guide (Hamza was our guide for this trip) during 4 days.

Five day safari Botswana
Exceptional Service by Nicky at Art of Safari!
Our family of five recently embarked on a five-day safari in Botswana, and we couldn’t have asked for a more flawless experience, all thanks to the incredible support and expertise of Nicky at Art of Safari. From the very first interaction, Nicky demonstrated a deep understanding of our needs, balancing the interests of both adults and kids perfectly.
Her itinerary was not only meticulously planned but also tailored to include breathtaking landscapes, luxurious accommodations, and unforgettable wildlife experiences. Nicky’s attention to detail was evident in every aspect of our trip, from seamless transfers to personalized touches that made us feel truly special.
What stood out the most was her genuine care and enthusiasm. She was always available to answer our questions, provide recommendations, and ensure that everything ran smoothly. Her professionalism and warm personality made the planning process just as enjoyable as the trip itself.
Thanks to Nicky, our family created memories in Botswana that we will cherish forever. If you’re considering a safari, I wholeheartedly recommend Nicky and Art of Safari—her service is nothing short of outstanding!

Negligent - failed to disclose massive road time.
Ngorongoro Crater & Zanzibar - South Nov 2024
I do not recommend this route nor tour company. No one would sanely want to go on this tour route if they knew how much driving time there is in a truck/ jeep. nomad did not properly disclose the amount of road time on this trip.
why this route is even sold is a mystery. it is just awful. have been roughing it in dozens of 3rd world zones and this was by for the only one I regret. waste of you money, your vacation time, and flight. root of the problem, is that this amount of driving is not disclosed properly on the agenda.
EVERY single day is between 8 and 13 hours of driving (outside of Zanzibar). and we had little traffic and no problems with the dirty vehicle. I will say again EVERY SINGLE DAY is driving (outside of Zanzibar) and very very rough driving.
no tour stops on the journey (outside of game parks and Zanzibar). the only stops are truck stops and on the game drive one a.m. potty stop, one p.m. and one 1/2 hour lunch. all else in a sweltering in a jeep/van. you are with a driver and a cook. no tour guide. we learning only one single factoid from the pair of very nice men, the entire trip.
disappointed is putting it lightly. and we tried to get flights out to get off tour in the middle. not really possible. ashamed of nomad.
please really study and ask questions before booking. map it out.

Omar was an amazing your guide showing us everything there is to see in Tanzania
Omar was a wonderful guide. He was incredibly helpful and showed us all the animals in the park. Omar was very knowledgeable and explained to us everything that the animals did in their behaviors. I would recommend Omar to any friend or family member that is looking to go on a safari adventure. 10 out of 10

Amazing Safari
It was undoubtedly one of the best experiences I could have had, the safari was spectacular and the views even more incredible! This, of course, with the help of an excellent guide by the name of Ezequiel!

The guide had a lot of knowledge about the animals, he was on time, and he was kind. The camp was very nice, the food was good, as well as the infrastructure.

Fif tours and travel- in English
My husband and I had planned our Tanzania trip with Glory who works with FiF tours and she is absolutely amazing. I told her what my budget was and she was able to work with the amount that I was willing to spend abs we were able to see everything in Tanzania!! She was super responsive to all of my questions, sent multiple schedule plans if I didn’t like anything on it and if we needed to be flexible she changed the schedule. She is really excellent with planning and meeting our needs. I was afraid that we weren’t gonna see anything because we went on the off season but Glory was saying don’t worry you will see everything and she was right. Our tour guy Johnson who drove the safari truck was amazing at spotting animals. It would be across the Savanah and I honestly don’t know how he saw that with his bare eyes and would confirm it with his binoculars and we would immediately drive over so we could see everything. He made the trip remarkable and something I would never forget. He was very knowledgeable in all the animal questions we asked him. He has such incredible knowledge of Tanzanias animals, history and tribes. We were happy our tour guide was Johnson. We also had Saif as our chief he was an amazing cook, I wouldn’t say he’s better than the hotel food. If we go back we are definitely going with FiF tours!

He will make your safari dreams come true.
An unbelievable, amazing and beautiful experience. The amounts of times I looked over at my wife and said “this is the best trip I have ever been on” is something I lost track of. If you are looking or debating between a place. Look no furtherrrrr seriously!!! I was here and saw all of the different types of tours. Ours was by far the most fulfilling. Johnson was our driver and he is an outstanding tour guide. He will give you the safari experience you are looking for. Saif was our chef and his food was perfectly tailored for us. Glory is the one who will get you the itinerary exactly for what you want and any changes or other accommodations are always welcome! Thank you to FIF tours for the best Tanzania trip again!
