Simply the best!
Magical Safari!
February 2025
We had the pleasure of traveling with Silas and Luwai Tanzania Safaris for the better part of three weeks in February 2025. From start to finish, Silas was fantastic, so knowledgeable and very personable! Silas and his company did a beautiful job of planning and delivering our experience, from the moment we stepped off the plane. His work prior to our arrival was obvious and his instructions and packing lists were perfect. Silas himself is an amazing guide, his experience and skill with and around the animals really showed his respect and love for his work and his country’s beauty. We always felt safe and could feel how important our safety and that of the animals was to him. His skill in the jeep and his ability to spot the animals and “sense” the animals allowed us to see so much more than I could have dreamed.
We began with a rest day near Arusha, then a wonderful day of mountain bike riding through the Rau forest and surrounding region with spectacular views of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Our safari time started the following day on the road to Enduimet Wildlife Management Area, a beautiful and wild parkland where we experienced the first of many breathtakingly beautiful sunsets, a campfire dinner in Maasai land and a predawn walking safari with three Maasai guides. What a start…spectacular sunrise, giraffes, jackals, gazelles and elephants!
The following day we were welcomed to Sinai, Silas’s home village, to see the work of The Luwai Foundation in rebuilding and expanding the primary school and supporting the work of the community in earning money to improve the infrastructure and the lives of the villagers. After a warm send off from the people of Sinai we were off to Tarangire National Park for three days, then on to the Serengeti National Park for 5 days, staying 1 or 2 nights in different lodges, both permanent and migratory.
At this point, I will say that the lodging for the entire trip was fantastic levels of “tent” camping, each lodge had a different landscape, view and experience, but each was beautiful, the accommodations were excellent and the staff were very professional and welcoming! I tried to stay awake each night and wake up early to hear the wanderings and voices of the surrounding animals.
It’s very difficult to describe the jeep experience, hours of traveling on rough roads and scanning the landscape and horizons for animals and birds as anything but “magical”, it was an experience of a lifetime! To see a family of dozens of elephants brush past your jeep, newly born babies stumbling as they learn to handle the terrain and figuring out what to do with their trunks, is nothing you can imagine. To see a pride of lions walk out of the long grasses, the cubs wrestling and tumbling together, or two maturing male brothers hunting together on the plains, or even just resting in the shade of the Acacia trees after a big meal. To see the parade of animals approaching a watering hole, bathing, and drinking and constantly on alert. The beauty and variety of birds, and their behaviors and their functions in the environment. To see tens of thousands (probably hundreds of thousands) of Wildebeests and zebras migrating across the landscape, as far as you can see, just unimaginable!
I could go on, but you probably get the idea…truly an experience of a lifetime.

George, John, David, and Nicole were the best tour guides and made it a once in lifetime experience.
The tour guides made the safari experience unforgettable. Their knowledge about the animals, land, and history is unmatched. They are truly the best guides possible and I cannot imagine doing the safari experience with anyone else!

Well organized
I recently booked a trip to Diani with reimistar safaris for the dolphin and wasini island experience and the trip was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I made the inquiry to the execution of the trip, the team was responsible and detail oriented. Highly recommend anyone looking for a memorable adventure.

The absolute best to help you achieve your dream Tanzanian experience!
We went on the most amazing 10 day Safari and Zanzibar beach vacation, put together wonderfully by the Serengeti Clarity team.
Our guide, Chalamila, was absolutely everything you'd ever want in a safari guide. With over 15 years of experience, he is an expert driver and "eagle eye" spotter. He was able to put together such amazing plans and routes so that we would get the absolute most out of our safari experience! His title of the "walking encyclopedia" is very well earned, as he is incredibly knowledgeable not only of the wildlife and nature, but of the history and culture of Tanzania. All the amazing stories and conversations we had while on safari is what truly made the entire experience. It's incredibly admirable how each member of the Serengeti Clarity team is so tight knit, so I am absolutely sure that all of the guides with them are also excellent.
As for the logistics, Frank and team were excellent in the entire process - from the initial customized itinerary, to tailoring it to our specific needs, and promptly responding to any questions or feedback, they are extremely easy to work with no matter your budget. When you are in the hands of such an amazing team, it really is hakuna matata (no problem!). Their amazing hospitality and the hospitality of all those at the accommodations/excursions they booked us in is also something we will always remember from our trip.
We would not hesitate at all to recommend Serengeti Clarity to anyone looking for an amazing adventure in Tanzania and we can't wait until next time!

Jackie was GREAT!!!
Jackie Curry did a wonderful job setting up a Safari in the Kruger our short stay in Johannesburg and Cape Town. We had drivers pick us up at the airports and deliver us to our hotels. The hotels were in good locations and made it easy for the tour operators to pickup up and show us the sites. The winery's were all fantastic, the small towns we visited were wonderful. The sites around Cape Town and going to se the Penguins was great and the driver knew exactly where to park to make our walks very pleasant. The hotels we stayed in needed some repairs and updating, but were clean and in great locations. I would highly recommend Safari 365 (Jackie Curry) she booked a great trip and stayed in the budget the I asked. The Kruger Nation Park was amazing and the hotel and the park need to work on some better signage. The hotel should include a map to all patrons when you arrive. There was no signage to locate where you picked up the trucks for the game drives. Every day we were asked where do you go to go on the drives by others, who could not locate the facility. If we get the opportunity to return to Africa I will be calling Safari 365 and asking for Jackie.

Perfect choice of safari tour
Full Package Adventures is highly recommended safari tour company.
First of all, when staff member Wilbeth contacted me to provide a quote, he responded quickly and accurately. He did his best to accommodate my requests, adjusting both the accommodations and the schedule to fit my needs. Even during the tour, he stayed in touch to make sure I was doing well.
Our tour guide, Adrian, is a true professional. He made sure we were comfortable with his excellent driving skills and consistently shared his extensive knowledge about the animals. He worked hard to ensure we could safely see as many animals as possible—and thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five.
All of the accommodations recommended by Wilbeth were great, but I especially want to highlight Serengeti Classic View Camp. I highly recommend it for its friendly staff, breathtaking sunsets over the Serengeti, and absolutely delicious meals.
The safari tour with Full Package Adventures was an unforgettable experience.
