Tanzania is the very best for viewing nature, eating well, feeling safe and enjoying the people.
Tanzania makes my heart sing! I would return in a heartbeat …and I will in 4 more years for my 80th. It is about the Serengeti, the remarkable opportunity to view animals in their own environment, up close , and in abundance. And yet, it is equally about the people of Tanzania, the warm welcome, the kindness visited upon us , the openness . Yes, I know they are paid to welcome tourists, but I have travelled a great deal and these people are special and unique. I miss them everyday.
The food is wonderful, the lodges and tented camps feel authentic …it is just perfection . My 9,11, and 13 year old grandchildren will never forget what they saw and learned here.
Savannah Explorers took great care of us , ensured we saw more than we dared dream of seeing… including the stunningly beautiful Cultural Heritage Centre in Arusha and the galleries outside Arusha. The art, the artistry, the beauty of this country was on display everywhere.
I miss all of this. It is one of my favourite countries in the world.

Pletntiful Wildlife
We visited only Masai Mara for 2 days of game drives (1 evening +1 full day), 3 people in a private tour in a Land Cruiser. Saw a lot of elephants, giraffes, lions 3 times, cheetahs, hyenas, zebras, hundreds of wildebeest, etc. Very good wildlife viewing. There was quite a few other cars, but could still see the animals well. All in all, very satisfied.

Amazing experience - particularly the service and kindness provided by Obadia!
We went to a mine site visit and then on a safari to Serengeti and the Crater. Obadia also took me for an early morning run around the town which was incredible!

Wonderful experience with Kubwa 5
Before and during our tour, Kubwa 5 communicated with us and provided all the necessary information to us. Whenever we needed the help, they immediately gave their best to accommodate us. We had a very wonderful experience in this trip with the help of Kubwa 5. Highly recommend ed!

Knowledgeable
Solomon provided us a sensational safety experience. We went to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and learned so much from Solomon- his strong knowledge on the history of the park, all the animals, Arusha and various ethnic groups throughout Tanzania including the Maasai people, really showed. We saw Lions, Zebras, elephant, hyenas and so on all up close. Lots of laughs, and great service- the food was especially good!

Best safari experience with amazing guide
giraffes, zebras, hippos, monkeys, impalas, worthog, buffalos and even lions). What we really appreciated was that Fikiri seemed to be knowledgeable about where we can spot certain animals and he also explained a few details about how they live.
We got to our hotel at sunset and proceeded to check in and have some dinner. We spent a bit of time just talking to Fikiri and he was opened to our suggestions for the next day.
The second day was perfect, we woke up early and had another drive in the safari. We had a lovely morning together and again found Fikiri's knowledge of the park to be very helpful in spotting the animals.
After breakfast, we proceed on our way back to Dar El Salam and had a couple of stops and a lunch break
Overall this was a lovely experience and we appreciated:
The knowledge of our guide (of the park and just general conversation)
The spots we stopped for food were clean, the food was good and the bathrooms were clean
The hospitality was amazing. Everyone was happy to help us and kind
The national park itself and it's beauty
I'd highly recommend it as an experience

Excellent tour operator
"The pavillion safaris and tours " is a very good tour operator. Specially, Peter, who is responsible for managing, is very helpful and supportive during the safari. He is available at all times for any kind of help.

Mount Kenya trekking was a blast
We hiked the Mount Kenya with Kentau Safaris and were absolutely satisfied with the organization and execution. The manager Dominic Mwata was very responsive, competent and helpful in answering all our questions upfront and organized a powerful and experienced team that made the trip were convenient and an unforgettable breathtaking event. I can highly recommend this small and growing outdoor company and we already explored future trips with Dominic. Thumbs up!

Excellent guides, itinerary , and value
The staff at Shadows tailored our itinerary perfectly, including a relaxing stay in Arusha, 5 amazing safari days in Tarangire Nat'l Park, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, and a night to experience the Massai life. Guides Dickson and Loma are encyclopedias of knowledge, incredibly safe and efficient drivers, and helpful and thoughtful.
Asante sana.
