Once in a lifetime experience, couldn’t recommend this company more
I would highly recommend this company and specifically this tour. We did the 4 day budget safari booked off safaribookings , travelling to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Communication prior via email and WhatsApp had quick responses and Neema answered all our questions.
Transfer to the hotel was uncomplicated, we even asked our driver to take us via ‘Benson and Company’ near the hotel to buy binoculars (I couldn’t recommend this more, you really need a couple of pairs at least in the vehicle, there will be one pair with the guide who is happy to share, but please please buy/rent your own!).
Jevas hotel was very comfortable.
Our guide Lewis was very friendly and knowledgable, really made the trip, and the amazing cook James provided ample amounts of delicious food even with proper plates and cutlery in the parks for lunch - they can cater to any dietary requirements, and the meat was good quality, don’t shy away from it. Limitless bottled water is supplied and we even got given a bottle of wine on a couple of the nights. Would recommend buying a couple crates of beer from ‘shoppers supermarket’ near the hotel, you can get a taxi/bodaboda via the ‘Bolt’ app and there’s also a cashpoint there - a large fridge resides in the vehicle, and drinking a cold beer 10 meters from a lion is unbeatable.
There was plenty of game drive time and we saw everything bar a leopard, the Serengeti is particularly stunning.
The campsite for Tarangire was outside the park but very nice, even had a pool and bar so take your speedos!
Serengeti campsite was in the heart of the park, absolutely stunning open to animals to wander within but we always felt perfectly safe.
Ngorongoro campsite on the rim was also very comfortable with nice views.
We would recommend tipping the guides, we did so in shillings but didn’t feel pressured to at any point.
Overall there were no hidden costs/tourist traps, and our experience was well beyond expectation, get it booked!

Good experience
We travelled to and from the park with Sibu, he was a gentleman. Timely pickup and communication and interesting information during the trip. Desmond was our guide within the park and he made the safari really interesting.
