Fantastic
With my wife we chose the 6-day private safari with African Savannah Trekkers and it was, without a doubt, a success. We organized it through Philomena, who answered all our questions from the first minute. You were also flexible with the security deposit, which we greatly appreciated considering the last minute changes with the pandemic. We start our trip in Arusha, then we visit Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. Our guide Eli was excellent. He knew all the animals in detail and went the extra mile to make sure we got the best photo. We stayed at the Ngorongoro Farm House and Kati Kati. Amazing accommodation! There was never a lack of hot water, the beds always comfortable and beautiful views. The service is very friendly and attentive. The food is great and most of the ingredients are grown by themselves. We saw the "big five" over the course of the 6 days and even cheetahs on two different occasions in the Serengeti! It was the dream trip and African Savannah Trekkers was very much to blame for it.

The best company and the best guide
For our first safari we were certainly a bit anxious. Did we book the right lodging? Did we pack the right clothes? Are we going to see any animals?
Rest assured Gosheni had everything covered. Our contact Pendo was in constant contact making sure we knew what to bring and what to expect. Even when our travel plans changed Pendo spring in to action to make sure we had an activity booked while we waited a day for the rest of our party.
Finally we started the safari. What an incredible experience all made possible by our guide Ombeni. Ombeni was incredible and I honestly couldn’t imagine a safari without him. He answered all of our questions no matter how ridiculous and made sure we got the best views of all of the animals on our list. Once we had seen everything we wanted, we gave him a challenge…. Find the rarer animals like a leopard. No problem for Ombeni. Then another challenge… try and find a mating ritual. Again no problem for Ombeni. He spotted a couple of ostrich and took us close for a view of the courting ritual and mating. Finally we had one final challenge… a hunt. This one we thought would surely stump him. But of course Ombeni came through. He found us a cheetah with her cubs and before long she was on the move. Only a few seconds later she was in full sprint quickly followed by the takedown. It was really incredible to see.
I’ll certainly miss our game drives and meals with Ombeni and I can absolutely say I won’t do another safari unless it’s with him as our guide.

Incredible Company
I could not recommend a better company to work with. Pendo was amazing from the start - I worked with her for 8 months leading up to the trip and she was patient in answering all of my questions. She continued to be accommodating when half our party got delayed by 1.5 days. On the safari we had an incredible experience. Could not recommend Ombeni more as a tour guide. He showed us everything we wanted and more! He became part of our tour crew - we enjoyed eating dinners and playing cards with him.

The absolute best guide in Tanzania!
We did this trip with another couple and had an incredible time! Gosheni was very helpful and accommodating with last minute changes due to travel issues. Pendo was great to work with. All of the accommodations were amazing - tents were massive with en-suite bathrooms, food was delicious and the views were beautiful!
Our guide, Ombeni, was the absolute best! He was very knowledgeable and well connected with other guides so he always knew where the best stuff was. We saw everything that we wanted to see and more! Highly recommend requesting him to be your guide when you book with Gosheni!

Excellent service from the beginning!
My husband and I took a 6 day private safari with African Savannah Trekkers. We were so glad we chose them for our safari experience. We organised it through Philomena who was excellent at all communication prior to the trip, answering all our questions thoroughly and promptly. She was also flexible regarding the security deposit which we very much appreciated while travelling during a pandemic. We started our trip in Arusha, then visited the Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. Our guide Eli was excellent and very knowledgeable about the animals and really went the extra mile to make sure we got that great photo. We stayed at the Ngorongoro Farm House and Kati Kati which I recommend! We always had hot water, comfortable beds, beautiful views and friendly service. The food was also excellent and most of the ingredients were sourced and grown on the property. We saw all of the "big five" over the course of the 6 days, as well as cheetahs on two different occasions in the Serengeti! It was the trip of a lifetime and I'm so glad we went with Eli and African Savannah Trekkers. I would highly recommend them!

Africa once visit is not enough
Africa is not enough if we visit only once. The expereince is very unique from other countries because in Kenya, we saw big five closely, we visited the poorest village in the world, we had the most expensive balloon safari, we stayed in one of the most luxious hotels and camps. Eveything was very different from our expectations. They gave us everything we unexpected and expected. Thanks a lot!

Beautifiul country and animals
We knew them from our friends, who visited Kenya and choose them as their local handler. Indeed, they are serious in handling us and offered us good quotation. Their service is very well. Our driver was Kennedy, he knew where to find animals and best location to take nice pictures. My children loved the hotels we stayed which were all luxury, the service of the hotel were all nice, food was delicious and meaty. Choose them if you wanna have a nice, worry free holiday!

James is a great guy and made sure our trip was the best it could be
I just got back from a 7 day safari and it was incredible. James met me at my hotel the day I arrived and discussed the itinerary in detail. The driver/guide was Stanley and he was awesome. Stanley is a seasoned guide and is very knowledgeable about everything we saw. He also has a great personality which is important on such a long trip. Benson was our cook and was also a great guy and the food was very good. I saw and experienced everything I was hoping for and the trip was life changing. James was there at my hotel when we returned from the safari to make sure we had a great time. It was late and I wasn’t comfortable walking around Arusha to find dinner so he drove me to a great place for food and drinks. I highly recommend African Polecat Safaris. James is a great guy and won’t let you down.

Super safari, je recommande !
3-day safari in the Serengeti and NGorongo, camping: we had booked the safari, through safaribooking. Communication with the tour was then made by email and then by Wahtsapp, which is very practical, especially when you arrive in the country.
From an organizational point of view, everything was perfect, we were picked up from the airport (the guide waited for us when we were late), took us to a decent hotel, and then everything went smoothly. unfolded exactly as advertised, no bad surprises.
The camping accommodation was quite correct (nothing to do with everything we had read beforehand). The meals were plentiful and varied, which, when camping, is not easy.
At the end of the safari, we were driven back to a hotel, as announced during subscription.
Clearly, great safari, I strongly recommend Colors Africa Tours!
