He was very kind
The first day we stayed in a hotel in Arusha and it was not so good. The location was safe but the problem was that the room wasn’t close to our expectations although the guys in the reception were very kind and helped a lot.
Especially , we had 3 more days to do safari and finally we went to ngare lodge!
It was really nice and I was very satisfied there because the food, the reception and the people were really decent.
In the end our safari driver was awesome! We had a really good time with David! Hakuna Matata! Ask for David!

The most amazing combination of wildlife and scenery.
We went during late February and got to see the tail end of the Great Migration in the Serengeti. There were a ton of baby animals, and huge herds of zebra, wildebeest and cape buffalo. The weather was perfect outside of a couple late evening rainstorms. We managed to see the Big 5. There weren't a ton of vehicles in the parks and there were plenty of times where we were the only car in the area. Id highly recommend Tanzania and the January to February months for the Migration.

Review about Arusha National Park by Lori Potvin
I saw so many animals the big 5 and more! Also lots of babies in the month of February. The Ngorongoro crater is breathtaking. Tarangire had an abundance of elephants, what a dream.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Lori Potvin
Ngorongoro is breathtaking. So much history and beauty. Itll be engraved in your memory forever, my favourite out of all the areas we visited. Truly unforgettable.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Evan May
With the smaller size of the park combined with being in a caldera, you get to see the animals interacting a lot. Hyenas and lions hunting, rhinos intermixed with the zebra and wildebeest, elephants roaming, etc.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Evan May
We only saw a small fraction of the park in 2 days but its incredible and definitely a must see.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Evan May
This was the first park we visited, and felt like it was a great introduction to doing game drives. We got to see plenty of elephant and giraffe.

Excellent care given to my wife and myself on a fantastic trip!
From the moment we were picked up at the airport to our departure a week later we were exceptionally cared for. The accommodations were wonderful and our driver Lawerence bent over backwards to make sure we had a pleasurable time. We felt safe with his driving and he was skilled at finding elusive animals. We saw all of the big 5 (multiple times over) as well as the ugly 5. This was a trip of a lifetime and I’m so glad we used Up Country Adventures! I’d recommend them to anyone looking for an incredible African safari.

11 Days Safari - Extranight in Serengeti
Our 11-day safari was absolutely fantastic and truly unforgettable. Even though the rainy season had already begun, we experienced so many incredible moments and wildlife sightings, including all of the Big Five within just a few hours.
Whenever unexpected situations arose, Fiona was always there for us. From the very beginning of the planning process, long before the trip started, she communicated openly with us and always responded quickly. We immediately felt that she genuinely cares about her clients and about creating a supportive and trustworthy relationship.
Our driver and guide in Kenya, Brian “Mufasa,” impressed us with his exceptional driving skills and incredible endurance. At times, heavy rains and flooded roads made the journey more challenging, but he handled everything calmly and professionally. It became an adventure that felt truly authentic. Just as memorable as the many amazing wildlife sightings we experienced.
We would also like to thank Reuben, who guided us through the breathtaking Serengeti National Park. His driving skills were simply outstanding, better than anything we had experienced before. Calm, confident, and highly experienced, he always radiated a wonderful “Hakuna Matata” spirit that made us feel safe and relaxed throughout the journey. He generously shared his extensive knowledge about the animals and the ecosystem with us, sometimes even consulting his wildlife guidebook so we could identify what we were seeing together. We especially appreciated his genuine interest in exchanging thoughts and knowledge with us.
Thank you all for this priceless experience and for the countless touching and unforgettable moments.
