Daniel is the Man
I did a ten day safari with Clarity. I can’t speak for their other guides. My experience was only with Daniel, and he was fabulous. My suggestion is that whatever operator you use, you make sure you have a guide you like and who understands you and your needs. Regardless of what any tour operator or guide might tell you, there are no guarantees. But, if you are going to Serengeti you have a high probability of seeing many things. And, obviously, the longer you stay, the more you are likely to see. I saw a lot and I’m very happy. I liked all the accommodations but one, The Untamed Mitigation Camp. Avoid it. Don’t expect a lot from the food regardless of where you stay. The cuts of meat and chicken will be overcooked and dried out. Opt for the slow cooked meat dishes. There often were Indian style foods to which I gravitated. The service at all the accommodations was friendly and responsive. Clarity was very responsive when I was planning the trip. They were easy to work with. But again, the guide is critical, and I had a great one.
