Stress free, responsive and great tour.
We absolutely loved our safari experience with professional safaris's.
I initially actually planed a safari in kenya - i booked my own place, sorted my own guide etc. But when i realised the cost of park fee's is almost triple tanzania i changed over to tanzania.
We went with professional as it was recommended by a friend who had used the same guide company.
Edison was the one to organise the whole safari. He was very responsive, helpful and we even spoke over the phone initially to give him an idea of what we were looking for. They created multiple different safari plans with detailed catalogues with the details to compare the different packages.
They even booked our flight from arusha to zanzibar even though our safari ended at arusha.
We got what we asked for. A whole private safari 4x4 with driver. Our driver Faraji was amazing. He was so lovely, always smiling and so excited to show us the animals. Such a nice guide to be around. We were on our honeymoon and he gave us the space we needed. He has been in the bussiness for a long time (since 2009 i think but maybe longer) and knows the park so well as well as all the animals. We didnt even have ot buy binoculars because he has his own. He never let us cary our own bags. The car was cleaned by every morning and he allowed us to tailor the tour to our needs. Could not have been more pleased with our guide.
As for the parks, we started with lake manyara because it was closer to kilimanjaro airport and we didn't want to drive all the way to serengeti on the first day. We loved it, but in retrospect, maybe taragine would have been a better idea as we would have seen more and it was Faraji's favorite. But it was still nice.
Serengeti is amazing. We saw everything there but black rhino. We even did the balloon safari - expensive (we payed £425 or $550 per person) but it was amazing and a once in a lifetime experience - but if its out of budget or a stretch dont worry there is enough in serengeti to keep you excited). We did 2 nights in serengeti. One is enough if you are in a rush but nothing wrong with two. The last day was in ngorongoro which was our favorite - you wont see as many animals as in serengeti but it is beautiful - you really feel like you are in an animal documentary.
Overall we were very satisfied with our experience with Professional safaris and would recommend them.
