It was fine, not very luxurious, but an incredible experience
We stayed 3 nights in Zanzibar in the Zanzibar Bay hotel, then 5 nights safari in Tanzania, and eventually 6 nights in Zanzibar (Zanzibar Bay Hotel).
The Zanzibar Bay Hotel is just fine, the food is good and friendly personnel. It is not very luxurious. Construction and painting of the buildings was going on while we stayed there…
The safari was very good. Nice accommodations and a very good driver/guide called Libe. We were lucky and saw the big 5. Bring your water shoes when you visit Lake Natron. You will need them for the walk to the waterfall.
You also need water shoes if you go on the Safari Blue tour in Zanzibar.

Very cooperative, experienced and understanding about the needs and wills of tourists.
We had a great understanding of the safari before and during our trip. Any kinds of questions and problems were answered or solved in time.
Our 4 day trip concluded Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Manyara and we basically saw every african animals (from a very close range without braking any rules) with the exception of 1 or 2.
All of the parks were beautiful for different reasons, like Tarangire for the rich savannah and the hords of different animals(tons of elephants, giraffes, zebras, monkeys, gnus, gazellas, lions....) Ngorongoro has wide steppes and hills with the maasai peple. The Creater surrounded by ancient jungle on the hills and inside of it was rich of animals like buffalos, hippos, zebras, lions(we even saw them eating before the hunt). Serengeti is like the never ending savannah of the typical Lion King scenario with a lot of hyenas, lions(even cubs), leopards, vultures, giraffes, zebras, elephants, gazellas, jackals.
We ran out of luck on our last day at Lake Manyara because it had less animals overall but we still saw a lot of elephants and their cubs. It feels like we go deep into the woods of the African continent.
I would say 4 days is perfect amount of time to do a safari. Our housing was solved with lodges and tents but you only slept in it so it was not uncomfortable. Our food was nice but I am not a huge fan of breakfast boxes but the lunch and dinner was cooked meal and they were very good local food by our chef.
We chose shared safari and it was great to have a company because they were cool and interesting people.
Our driver was very good at finding the animals and we could ask him anything without a problem. He is very much experienced in every way, only the car was an old but reliable one, it could have been little more equipped regariding to comfort but it got the job done.
I think it definatelly worth the money for the safari and I could do this trip if I ever come around to Tanzania again!

Review about Manyeleti Game Reserve by Naftoli Niasoff
we saw plenty of wildlife but expected more but that's just luck sometimes you see a lot sometimes you don't. But the lodge was amazing (animals everywhere) our guide was amazing and one of the best things in Manyeleti is the off-road driving which you cant do in Kruger.
overall an amazing experience.

Very easy to work with
We booked a 4-day safari with Serengeti Luxury Safaris in June. Noel was very easy to talk to and informative. We had a "snag" in our flight and missed a connection due to a delay. Noel, still made a point to make the best out of the remaining days. The tour driver really tried to make sure we were able to see a variety of animals. I would highly recommend using this company because they made things a lot easier for us.

Nice experience!
The tour was really nice and fun, we saw a lot of animals and nature. Dave our tourguide explained us a lot about everything. The timeshedule often didn‘t work out, so it was a bit stressful sometimes. Also we did not get a real instruction about what happens and what we should do exactly. Our accomondations were very beautiful.
Thank you for the tour!

Family Safari Adventure
We had the pleasure to enjoy a 7 day long safari to the hot spots of Eastern Africa‘s wildlife. The tour organizer in this case was Kilipath. They are operating with guides and chefs ( cook) as we decided to go on a shared safari. We highly recommend Peter as the best driver and his lovely chef de cuisine David. David is the world class cook. We enjoyed fantastic fresh meals three times a day along the safari. The only part I would like to mention as a consideration in case you choose the budget package as we did, the Arusha Inn Hotel is a place I would not recommend to stay.
