They made a journey to an unforgettable and breathtaking experience.
Overall the safari was far beyond our expectations, with tours on our own, seeing every animal you can think of, to the experience overall. The communication and professionalism brought we extraordinary, creating a feeling that made our safari experience unforgettable. We had the chance to have Yohana and Isaiah as our guides, who also had a huge impact on the experience described above.

Unbelievable!
This was absolutely incredible. We went with Yohana and Isaya and had the most amazing time of our lives. Everything was perfectly organized by Pilly before. Yohana (“Johan”) explained everything to us in German and together with Isaya they both showed us the amazing world of Mikumi. We saw, Lions, closer to the cat we could ever imagine, Elefant nearly entering our car. As well we saw Hippos, Hyenes. Gnus, Elens, Crocodiles, Leguans, Giraffes and many more.
THANK YOU FOR THIS INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE,, DEAR KIHINDO- TEAM!!

PERFECTION
i brought my little sister to tanzania for her first international trip, and we went with Suricata based on previous reviews. we did a 5 day mid-range tour, and even though they had to change our itinerary slightly, everything ran VERY smoothly. all of the hotels are great too! our favorite was the bush camp in Serengeti (glamping).
Anton was our guide through Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and he did a phenomenal job!! he has a very calm and kind demeanor, and he would squeeze the jeep in wherever he could to make sure we were able to get the BEST angles of all the animals. we got to see every animal facing us. he was extremely engaging and would give us information on all of the animals, and he also kept checking in on how we were doing and how we felt. he never moved the car until everyone was done taking photos and videos, and he was just very pleasant throughout the trip. he made it his mission to make sure we were comfortable throughout the trip with timed bathroom stops as well.
for Tarangire and Lake Manyara, we had Amos! he was also such a joy to be with. if you didnt ask questions, he would be sure to ask YOU and get your gears turning. he was very engaging and fun to ride with.
i highly recommend Suricata and make sure you get the open jeep for Lake Manyara and Tarangire. the other safari groups have the closed jeeps (we also did for serengeti and ngorongoro due to dust), but the open jeeps allowed us to feel much more connected with the nature around us!

Great 5, great experience
We starter a 4 day safary with enthusiasm but also quite feared beacuse it was our first experience of this type. It has been an incredibile safari!!
Our guide, Melita, was excellent; friendly, professional, patient; he has a great knowledge of animals, tribal uses, natural parks. He satisfied every request of our group: we could see all Big 5 and much more (also baby lions, that were my first desire!). We took wonderful photos thanks to his ability to cacht the best views.
We had excellent accomodations, truly comfortable and ahestetic .
You do your job in the best way, Melita: the beauty of your Tanzania will be forever with us!!!

価格を抑えながら、ヌーの川渡りとビッグ5を見られた
From July 25th to 30th, 2026, two of us participated in a 6-day, 5-night tour. We obtained quotes from about four companies before booking, but Crater Explorer Tours & Safaris was the cheapest and best met our requirements, so we chose them. Our desired conditions were as follows:
* A 6-day tour
* A lodge or tent lodge with beds, private bathroom, and hot shower, rather than basic public camping
* A trip to Kogatende/Mara River in the northern Serengeti to witness the wildebeest river migration
The price was US$3,600 for two people during the high season. This was about US$300-500 cheaper than other companies' quotes. (Apparently, the cost is higher than usual because it includes two nights in the Serengeti and a trip to the northern Serengeti.)
The actual tour was a shared vehicle with four other groups, and it seemed that participants were gathered through multiple tour companies.
The places we actually stayed were listed below:
• Marera Valley Lodge
• Shuhudia Adventure Camp
• Ngorongoro Tortilis Camp
• Jambo Lodge & Camping Site
Jambo Lodge & Camping Site was downgraded because the company explained on the afternoon of the tour that "the lodge originally planned for us had been broken into the previous night by thieves, and the accommodation was changed for security reasons."
The vehicle had shoddy windows compared to other companies and broke down twice due to poor maintenance, but such troubles are part of the fun of a safari, so it wasn't a problem.
Apparently, vehicle troubles are actually quite common.
(If you want a higher grade of vehicle and accommodation, or want to avoid trouble as much as possible, I think paying for a more expensive plan would be stress-free.)
Overall, we were able to see the wildebeest river crossing, the Big Five, and numerous lions and elephants. While the facilities and vehicle were commensurate with the price, we were able to fully experience the wildlife and scenery of the Serengeti, and spent six days like being in the world of The Lion King, so we were satisfied with the tour.

Great tour from start to end
We were picked up on time from our hotel in Stonetown by Yusuf and then dropped off at the end of the tour back to Ngunwi. The office stored our luggage for us and even picked up some property we accidentally left at the hotel. Great service from start up finish. The tour itself was very successful. Out guide Judith was friendly, knowledgeable and ensured our trip ran without any problems. We managed to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and hippos as well as other wildlife on the tour. Lunch and brekkie were great and there was an endless supply of beverages throughout the trip. All in all a very successful trip. I would highly recommend the company if you’re thinking of visiting the Mikumi national park. Thanks for a great time.

Excellent tour by Julius - highly recommend
We did a last minute 3 day safari with Julius to Serengeti and Ngorongoron and it was amazing! We were two girls travelling and felt very safe throughout. Julius was amazing - great communication, great deal and perfect itenary! He picked us up from the airport and made everything very smooth. I had some issues with the sim, he even took me to the Vodafone shop and dropped us at the airport in the middle of the night. We saw all the big 5 up close and the cheetah even came up on our van. The tents were nice and the food was incredible! Highly recommend for a great safari experience.
