Incredible support from before we booked until the end. Great communication and transparency
From the moment we began planning our trip to the Serengeti, we had several questions and considerations. Getting in touch with Shayona was very quick and easy — their communication was prompt, clear, and genuinely helpful. They guided us through every choice, ensuring the itinerary perfectly matched our needs. The booking process was seamless, and their consistent updates gave us complete peace of mind before and during the trip.
We were incredibly lucky to have the best guides for our safari — punctual, professional, and a lot of fun to spend time with. Their knowledge of the wildlife and landscapes made game drives super exciting. Even after hours in the vehicle, we were engrossed throughout. Thanks to their expertise and keen eyes, we spotted an impressive variety of animals and birds — truly the highlight of our journey. The safari vehicle itself was spotless, well-maintained, and surprisingly comfortable, even during long drives.
You could tell that every detail had been thought through to enhance our comfort and safety. Theres cold water and soft drinks in the vehicle as well.
Shayona Safaris took care of absolutely everything over the three days — from logistics to accommodations to meals — so all we had to do was sit back and enjoy. That sense of ease and trust made a huge difference, especially for a group visiting the region for the first time. Every dollar we spent felt completely worth it. We came away with some crazy memories and cannot recommend Shayona Safaris highly enough to anyone planning a Serengeti adventure.

Amazing experience with an attentive team
My experience with Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris have been great. Derick was very thorough in answering any question I had and very flezile in accommodating my requests. Even though I booked a shared tour, I was still able to change my itinerary to a certain degree (I added 1 more night in Serengeti and had a mix of budget and mid-rang accommodation depending on the location). The guides I went with were all amazing, especially Nestory who is very experienced, so I was able to see a lot of unique moments while doing the safaris. (We even saw an impala giving birth!)
Despite the fact that it was the low season and the political situation that led a lot of people to canceled and thus resulting in some adjustments during the tour, the company is always communicative and responsive. That made me feel extra safe as a female solo traveler.

Excepcional, always tuned to our necessities
Our experience with Uncensored Safaris was truly outstanding. Everything was perfectly organized, allowing us to enjoy the trip with complete peace of mind. The two days of safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro were unforgettable, not only because of the incredible landscapes and wildlife, but also thanks to the impeccable logistics and attention to detail throughout the journey.
Avitus was always attentive to our needs and wellbeing, making sure we were comfortable, informed, and well cared for at every stage of the trip. His professionalism, reliability, and genuine concern for our experience made a real difference. We felt supported at all times, which allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience. We would wholeheartedly recommend Uncensored Safaris to anyone looking for a well-planned, meaningful, and high-quality safari experience in Tanzania.

A Safari Experience I’ll Never Forget
Our trip to Tanzania was nothing short of extraordinary, one of those journeys that stays with you long after you’ve returned home.
From the moment we arrived, everything felt well-organized and thoughtfully planned, and a huge part of that credit goes to our guide, Raymond. Raymond is incredibly knowledgeable about safaris and Tanzania as a whole, and it truly shows in the way he guides. Being born and raised in Arusha, he has an authentic, deep-rooted understanding of the land, wildlife, and culture that you simply can’t get from a guidebook. Every drive felt like a moving classroom, but never overwhelming—just fascinating.
The safari experience itself exceeded all expectations! We were lucky enough to see the Big Five which felt surreal. Raymond’s sharp eye, patience, and experience played a huge role in this. He knew exactly where to go, when to wait, and how to read the environment. He also shared meaningful stories about animal behavior, conservation, and local traditions, which made each sighting even more special.
What stood out most was how passionate Raymond is about his country. You could feel his pride in Tanzania in every explanation, every stop, and every recommendation. He was not only a guide but a storyteller, a teacher, and a genuinely kind person who made sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged throughout the trip.
Overall, this Tanzania trip was unforgettable rich in wildlife, landscapes, and culture. If you’re planning a safari, having a guide like Raymond makes all the difference. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an authentic, well-guided, and truly memorable African safari. 🦁🌍
