Unbelievable! Ndutu may be the best kept secret in Tanzania.
Truly remarkable!! Ndutu Green Explorers may be the best kept secret in Tanzania. We booked a 6 day safari for our honeymoon and our guide Gilbert ensured it was a trip of a lifetime.
We spent countless hours researching tour companies. Let me save you some time - Book Ndutu and ask for Gilbert. They are a smaller, locally owned and operated company that goes the extra mile to make sure you see as much as possible and are taken care of, which isn’t the case with some of the bigger companies. (I booked with a top rated tour company the previous time I visited the Serengeti) We also got quotes from some of the bigger top rated companies and they were 25%-50% more expensive for the same itinerary and accommodations not as nice. The communication with Tom planning our safari was great. He was extremely responsive and patient with us, making multiple itineraries and quotes until we found the perfect one. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Ndutu!!
Highlights from our safari:
Tangerie ->Ngorongo-> Central Serengeti -> Northern Serengeti -> Central Serengeti.
- Big 5 ✅
- black rhino
- 27 lions
- 4 leopards
- 6 cheetahs
- Great migration crossing the Mara River
- hundreds of elephants
- hundreds of water buffalo
- hundreds of giraffes
With the exception of the rhino, we were within a foot of all these animals courtesy of our guide Gilbert who has over 10 years of experience guiding in the Serengeti.
Absolutely incredible experience!!

Highly experienced operator who made the big 5 possible and trip unforgettable
We had an unforgettable 5 day experience for our honeymoon - the whole trip was effortless - Ozon took care of everything from the moment we landed until we departed. Our tour guide was Albert who was incredible and we were incredibly lucky to have him as he was able to make sure we got to see the big 5 - he had been doing it for 8/9 years and lived in the serengeti for a year.
I can’t stress enough for those looking to do a safari that seeing the big 5 is not guaranteed and the difference between seeing all of them or not is an experienced tour guide. Most of the other groups we had run into at the camps and ballooning had only seen up to 3. So if you do get the opportunity and you are booking through Ozon, request Albert
For the tour, the accomodation was very nice, it was like a luxury glamping with tent hotels with your own shower and bathroom. The food was good, mainly buffet breakfasts and dinners at your accomodation and then the kitchen will pack your lunch for you everyday. The Jeeps have powered eskys for water and softdrink throughout the day aswell.
The overall value for money was quite good - it is all inclusive and really the biggest expense was the actual Balloon ride, which is Ozon will organise for you but is done through an external company in the Serengeti.

We had an incredible experience on our Johannesburg tour. Our guide, Carson, was absolutely outstanding, extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He brought the city and its history to life in such a meaningful way.
The highlights of the tour were the Apartheid Museum and Nelson Mandela’s house. The museum gave us a deep and comprehensive understanding of the history of apartheid, while Carson skillfully highlighted the key events and their significance. Along the way, he pointed out many notable buildings and areas, giving us valuable insight into the local culture and everyday life in Johannesburg.
We also enjoyed a delicious traditional lunch, which added a special touch to the day.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Johannesburg. If you have the chance, request Carson. He made the experience truly unforgettable.

Great way to experience Johannesburg
We landed in Johannesburg on an early flight and wanted to see the city on a day tour before we head out to the safari ok the next day. Thomas from MoAfrika picked us up from the airport and off we went starting our private day tour. He showed us the Constitution Hill, old downtown, Apartheid Museum, giving us facts of South Africa to help bring history alive. We then had lunch at Soweto before heading to the Hector Pieterson Museum, and Nelson Mandela House. Stopping at the Soweto Towers for a mandatory photo shoot and finally a brief stroll into the informal settlement giving us an up close encounter with how the locals live. It was a packed and enriching itinerary to see Johannesburg in one day.

Kilipath did not collect the whole safari group so we were moved to Suricata - it was well organised
Client service of Lydia was very caring. She organised everything with Suricata as well as airport transfer. The itinerary has slightly changed but it covered all the programme. Lodges and camping were very good. We got an offer of a good price quality ratio.

Best safari tour you could find!
Our day with our guide Rafael and our driver Shabani was truly unforgettable. We could not have wished for a more dedicated, kind, knowledgeable, and outstanding guide than Rafael. He shared his deep knowledge throughout the 11 hours we spent together, walking us through fascinating details about the land and wildlife, and answering every one of our questions with patience and passion.
Shabani, our driver, went above and beyond to make the day remarkable. His expertise with the routes meant we were able to see the Big Four as well as countless other animals. He stopped for us at every opportunity so we could take photographs, all while ensuring our safety. It was clear that many other guides did not take the routes he chose, which made his dedication to creating a truly exceptional experience stand out.
Thanks to their expertise, we saw all four of the Big Four — and much more. If you want to experience Nyerere properly, we can only recommend this perfect duo: Rafael and Shabani
