Very well organized
The tour was exceptional. The initial communication with the team was very easy and straightforward. They reply promptly and provide help as needed. The tour itself was amazing. Very well organized. The guide, Raymond knew great spots to see wildlife and often got to those spots before other vehicles. He was an excellent driver and guide and made the overall experience great.

Shafino wildlife safaris is driven by kindness and knowledge and is creating amazing memories
I had a really amazing one-day safari with Shafino.
The day started with Shafino picking us up directly from our hostel, and from that moment everything felt easy and well organised.
Shafino made the whole experience special from start to finish. He knows the park like the back of his hand and has a deep knowledge of both animals and plants, which he shared in a calm and engaging way. His experience and passion really showed and made the day feel very personal.
We saw a lot of wildlife, including elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras and buffalo, and we always had time to stop and enjoy each sighting. Lunch was fantastic, with great food, good wine and very good coffee from a French press. The car was well stocked with cold water, sodas and beers, which made the day very comfortable.
Overall, it was a warm and memorable experience and great value for money. I would highly recommend Shafino Wildlife Safaris to anyone looking for a genuine and well-organised safari in Tanzania.

Serengeti with Safari Goats - A Memory of a Lifetime
Wow! Had the most awesome and amazing experience with Safari Goats during my recent visit to Tanzania from USA in January 2026 and doing a safari with Shafi, Eddiy, and the whole team. It was an experience that will stay with me for the rest of my life -- from the minute I landed in the Serengeti National Park, I saw literally tens of thousands of iconic wildlife up-and-close including the magnificent Great Migration of Wildebeast and Zebras and of course, hundreds of lions and hippos, thousands of elephants, and the rare leopards and cheetahs, and so many more beautiful wildlife and the SNP ecosystem and habitats. The luxury tents were a wonderful-surreal experience with hippos, lions, and hyenas all around the camp (Tukaone Serengeti Camps) and my tent; their sounds in the middle of night at first was a bit un-nerving but by the second night was a wonderful orchestra of animals in the wild. Simplu Amazing! Again, Safari Goats are the greatest of all time! Shafi, Eddie good friends now and SG team excellent (Grace, Collin). Can't wait to take the whole family next time with my Safari Goat family. Highly recommend this outstanding, first-rate professionalism, and friendly and knowledgeable Safari company and guides in Tanzania. Asante Sana!

Proactive, trustworthy
A cool safari operator with an interesting tour guide, Allani, who was helpful, explained a lot and told stories about Africa, talked about nature and the places we passed and visited. The accommodation was good, but it is worth asking for details about each one separately, because in our case, one location did not match the standard described and shown in the photos in the offer. The meals were simple but tasty. The car was relatively new, clean and in good technical condition. Overall, the company is worth recommending. It is important to clarify and agree on everything in advance so that expectations are met and there are no surprises. Unfortunately, they do not guarantee that you will see all the animals, and we did not see any lions during the safari. Well, that's nature, and there are no guarantees. Definitely worth seeing are the gorillas, chimpanzees, walking safari with zebras and giraffes, and the canal in Elizabeth Park with elephants, buffalos and hippos by the water. Remember that all drinks are paid for at your own expense at meal times. And you should have plenty of small dollar bills for tips, because they are given everywhere due to the low wages of the local population, and they are expected and welcome.

"Incredible 5-day safari to see the Big Five and more"!
I am passionate about discovering new countries and cultures, but I never post comments about my vacations. However, I will share my experience with you on the occasion of my 45th birthday.
This safari differed from my previous trips because I was dependent on the company I chose, but above all on the guide who would make my experience unforgettable.
In my case, the adventure began with the choice of company. I sent five requests for quotes for a five-day safari.
The prices quoted were more or less similar, with equivalent services. In unfamiliar territory, it can be difficult to make a choice. It was therefore essential to establish criteria. And that's where Destiny Explorer, with Issa (the manager) as my contact, really stood out.
Throughout our email exchanges, Issa was very professional. You could clearly sense his empathy and pride in his work. He was able to reassure us without ever being pushy. His valuable advice helped us optimize our itinerary.
If you have the opportunity, I recommend choosing accommodation inside the parks. In addition to saving time, the sensory experience will be magical. Hyenas, lions, hippos... the animals are very active at night, and you will hear them.
After all these details, the big day finally arrived.
As mentioned, I had spoken at length with Issa, but never with the rest of the team.
Nicolas, our guide, welcomed us at our hotel. The adventure could finally begin!
It was five intense days, with long game drives.
Some people talk about luck, but I would say that we had an experienced guide, and in my opinion, that makes all the difference.
His knowledge of the different parks allowed us to see the Big Five and more than 50 lions. The proximity to the animals was disconcerting. We saw all the animals we wanted to see.
It was an exceptional safari, despite our walking safari being canceled due to bad weather.
I would like to highlight Nicolas's smooth driving (pole pole), which is rather reassuring when you know that there are many accidents on the roads.
On the downside, there are the guides who will inevitably overtake you or block your view when you stop to look at the animals.
Although comfortable, sleeping outside the parks wastes a lot of time and makes the experience a little less wild.
I would therefore like to thank Issa for his kindness, professionalism, time, and for sharing his passion, as well as Nicolas, our guide, who took us to the right places at the right times, not to mention my wife, with whom I shared this unforgettable vacation and had a wonderful time!
I hope my post will help you make your choice.

Place to be!
We booked a one-day safari in Tsavo East and had an absolutely incredible experience! We were lucky enough to see so many animals, and our driver-guide, Harrison, was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I highly recommend Steve & Richards Safaris. Excellent service, very well organized, and super responsive. Thank you again for such a fantastic and unforgettable day!

Dickson was everything you could ask for in a tour operator. Friendly, skilled and informative
I would highly recommend Lenchada safaris for a competitively priced safari. We had 6 days seeing everything we wanted to. Lions, Elephants, Cheetahs, Rhinos and so much more as close up as we could safely get. Our guide Dickson new all the best spots to get close to the animals and navigated the challenging roads with ease. All the hosts at the accomodation were friendly and the food was tasty and in good quantities.

Timely responses with queries
We all really enjoyed Arathusa. 100% for everthing!!
The directions to the lodge were vague and confusing. Perhaps if you liaised with Arathusa about the road conditions (Vian was very helpful on our return journey) then it would be more accurate.
We changed our party size from 5 to 6 and it felt like we had to do all the work to organise the change of dates to accommodate us.
All my daughter Emma’s queries were answered by one sentence responses. (Caileen Fortune) 😔
My communications with Dorothy were good and helpful.
She was helpful with the price reduction I asked for. 😊

Great, our guide (erick) was the best!!!
The Safari was a dream came true. We saw so many animals in their own world. We learned so much about them. The accommodations were great. And our guide was the cherry on top. We miss you Erick
