The Experience of a Lifetime with Safari360!
From our first contact with Petro, planning our safari, all of our needs were met with enthusiasm and excellent service! I selected Safari360 based on many, many reviews and my interaction with Petro. He took care of all of the details and provided a thorough quotation package. We are so happy with our selection! Quite honestly, it was more about the people and experience than the cost.
We spent six days with our specialist, Iddy exploring the Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater National Parks. Iddy is much more than a driver; he navigated the bumpy dirt roads with great skill, all while searching the horizon for animals and listening to the radio for sightings. He has many years of experience, as well as an education in, and passion for the animals and their environment. We were so blessed by his easy-going manner, patience, knowledge of the parks, and desire to teach us about the wildlife we were seeing. We did see the Big 5, even though the black rhinos are quite elusive. Once Iddy knew where one was located, he got us there and waited patiently, scanning the tall grass until he spotted it for us. He related facts about the size and weight, length of pregnancy, herding, eating, and mating habits, and much more about each animal and bird we saw. He could even identify the surrounding plants and trees. We were surprised by how close we could get to many of the animals, especially the lions and leopard, who were unconcerned by our presence. Watching two little lion cubs play while their mama lay in the grass nearby was a highlight, as was the leopard, satisfied after a big meal, resting in a tree.
We felt completely safe with Iddy and trusted his assessment of every situation. Iddy kept the truck clean and running well so we could spend the most time possible enjoying the parks. The trucks have electrical and usb charging stations for your phones and cameras, and the onboard fridge was always full of cold water bottles.
The camps selected by Safari360 were great! Many had in ground pools, which were nice after a hot and dusty day. The meals at each camp were quite good, as were the box lunches. The staff at the camps were very welcoming and eager to please. The Kon Tiki tented camp in the Serengeti was our favorite. Once we were zipped into our tent at night, we could hear the lions snarling nearby and elephants breaking tree branches for a midnight snack.
We had well planned stops for the restroom, lunch and a little shopping. Then, much too soon, it was time to say, “See you soon.” We have shared our pictures and stories with everyone who will listen and encourage them all to plan a trip with Safari360 and our new friend Iddy.

Darren is a chram and knows what he's doing! I will more than likely use Comopass odyssey again!
What a wonderful experience it was using Compass Odyssey.. Darren knows his stuff and organized everything with perfection.. Our guide in Cape town "Glen" was delightful. All of the lodgings Darren booked for us were superb. (Victoria Falls, Chobe River, Botswana) And Cape Town! We pointed him in the direction we wanted to visit and he did it! Was a lovely lovely trip..

Wonderful experience for the Waterfalls, coffee tour and hot springs
We had a special experience with Dalas Travel, we discovered Materuni village, waterfalls, the best coffee tour for a coffee lover and ended with a nice swim in the hot springs.
Tunu was patient, funny, responsive and helpful, explaining everything to us from the first moment we contacted him.
If you're looking to book one of your great activities in Tanzania with someone you can trust, don't hesitate to do it with Dallas travel.

Trekking to Materuni’s waterfalls and surroundings
We have booked this adventure at the last minute and we feel lucky to meet Tunu (owner)! He advises us from the very beginning of the adventure, with many and relevant exchanges on WhatsApp, and he took time to build a tailor-made tour but not an exhausting one. In fact, we were a bit afraid to spend to much time commuting from Arusha and miss the opportunity to enjoy our lodge, Turu has fully understood it because he is an empathic guy. Regarding the experience itself, waterfalls must be seen, it is a really nice walk (one hour, novice walk) in the middle of coffee, avocados and bananas trees. We have also made the hot springs, which is also nice even small. If you have to choose one, select waterfalls. Also, doing the two locations in one day could be tiring if you just arrived. Thanks a lot Tunu and hope to see you again to climb Kilimanjaro Mount!

Extremely kind and knowledgeable about the wildlife.
The trip was completely amazing and exceeded all of my expectations. The company was there with me throughout the process from the beginning making sure I was at ease with the planning of the trip. Then when I landed, they were there every step of the way. Our driver was extremely kind and knowledgeable about the wildlife and area. This is my second safari in Kenya, but first for my wife. Wanted to make it special for her and they truly made this possible. Highly recommend to anyone looking to book a safari, 5 stars is not enough, wish I could add more.

Ngorongoro one day safari with Omar
Tunu (owner) advises us from the very beginning of the adventure, with many and relevant exchanges on WhatsApp, and he took time to build a tailor-made tour but not an exhausting one with Omar our driver. Based on Arusha, a day for visiting ngorongoro crater in my maximum commuting time (more or less 3h30 only for one way) to enjoy 5 hours on site. Actually, there are many wild animals over there including lions, elephants, hyppo and girafe! I was not very enthusiastic, but I was wrong it is awesome and you may do a safari, it is something special to be part of nature like that, especially if you are driving by Omar, discreet, funny but also determined to delight you by showing what you want to see : he never gives up. Thanks

Good experience
We did 4 day safari tour with Serengeti Smile and we really enjoyed it. The communication and organization was superb with all details provided very well in advance. The choice of accommodation was better than we expected for a mid-range tour. The tour guide was experienced and friendly. We would recommend this company.
