We had the best time! Exceeded our expectations.
We had the best time. We saw the big 5 and more. The food was amazing. The accommodation was great and the guides and other helpers/chefs were all lovely and a good time.
Not the best communication when you are in Arusha before and after your stay but otherwise amazing.

Very responsible operator
Very good and reliable in general. We expected more from the driver, he used his mobile a lot and we initiated the Safaris too late (around 7.30)

Fantastic professional made for a memorable adventure
Benson was our tour guide for a trip to the Materuni waterfall, coffee tour and Kikuletwa hot springs. He was very patient and understanding of us as my wife struggled to hike to the waterfall in the wet and windy conditions. It was awesome speaking to him about Tanzanian way of ligr and history to get a genuine feel for the local culture.
Lucas was our guide for the Ngorongoro crater. Funny and sociable, he was excellent at spotting the animals and we were lucky to even spot the rhinos which we couldn't yet see at the Masai Mara.

Extremely on top of things and thorough
Compass Odyssey (Darren) was on the ball from step one. His response to my emails were quick. Every part of the trip was taken care of. We never had to question anything. This is my second time using this company for a reason. The tour itself was wonder. The accommodations (Linyanti & Kanana) were great, not disappointed at all. It’s nice to go away and not have to worry about the logistics.

It was an amazing experience with lovely service
Embarking on a safari adventure with Lomo was an unparalleled experience.. The personalized service was exceptional, blending opulence with the untamed beauty of the wilderness. Knowledgeable guides enriched the journey with insightful wildlife encounters. This safari company seamlessly fuses lavish accommodations, unparalleled service, and the raw majesty of Tanzania's landscapes, creating an unforgettable and indulgent safari experience. Highly recommended for those seeking the epitome of luxury in the heart of the wild.

Great experience with Wild Root Safaris
Mathew at Wild Root Safaris looked after our group of 8 really well during our trip. We did a day safari trip to Tarangire, and a 7 day trip to summit Mt Kilimanjaro using the Lemosho route. He was easy to communicate with before, during and after the trip, and his staff are great to work with - well experienced, kind, and always kept us safe. The food was also great during the trip! I highly recommend Wild Root Safaris, and would certainly choose them if we come to Tanzania again.

Good Price for the whole Experience
Tour Details:
4 days, 3 nights.
Public campsite (tents)
Shared vehicle (we were 3 and it could be shared for + 4).
Serengeti National Park
Tarangire National Park
Ngorongoro Crater
Lake Manyara National Park
Pros:
- Very affordable considering the overall experience ($750 / person - all expenses included).
- Amazing food considering all the limitations (no markets, kitchen,...).
- We were able to see 4 out of the big 5s: very close actually - 1m -, we actually saw a rhyno but it was miles away.
- Other animals like: lions, leopards, elephants, giraffe, zebras, warthogs, gazelles, hyenas,.. also close (1m). Cheetah and ostrich was pretty close (30-50m).
- Jeep experience.
1st day = Guide + 7 people.
On 1st day the person close to the driver's seat was not able to have a good experience (no rooftop and limited windows) - however, it was not part of our group, so we did not care.
2-4th day = Guide + 5 people.
On the other days, with 5 people, it was amazing. Space enough for everyone. Everyone has a big window (no middle seat) and we can open the rooftop to enjoy the experience.
Cons:
- The guide for the 4 days was not very passionate about the experience.
- Expected to start the experience before dawn to have a better chance to see hunts. Not really, very lazy guide.
- Long hours until we reach our destination. Half of your day is spent on the road, stops for food, wc,.. Which is normal, but we had the feeling sometimes it was too much.
- Our sleeping bags had a bad smell.. we had to sleep with a lot of clothes.
- Our hostel was changed on the 1st day without proper notice. The one communicated was way better (+swimming pool). Not a big deal but not good communication.
- Taxes for the payment. You are counting with a big value (thousands of €$) and then you have to add +5%. This can be negotiated as most of the time you can complain and pay 3.5%. I get it, but please keep this in mind.

Fantastic, intimate and personal experience of the wild.
We had a great experience. Love the way that our guide, Kavi, made each game drive and event so personal and fun. Kavi and his team made every effort for us to relax and truly enjoy our stay. Loved it thoroughly!!! Would recommend it for a personal interaction with the guide as well as the South African bush and it's animals, like no other Safari I have been on.
