Everyone should do it, at least once! Unforgettable
Overall rating
5/5

Our guide was amazing, always patient and spoting the animals miles away!
The scenery and wildlife are incredible and worth all the effort and investment. The weather was perfect during the safaris, droping a few degrees only at night time (bring sweaters).
The food was ok but the accommodations could use some improvement! The tents weren't confortable and the bathrooms were so bad many people didn't even shower.
Aside from that, we loved everything and would do it again anytime!

Personal and Exciting
Overall rating
5/5

I travelled with Dusty Roads and was extremely well looked after. My driver was Geoff. He is extremely knowlegable' and can spot animals and birds and plants kilometers away.

We travelled to Ngorongoro Crater and Sarengetti. It was a fast but very informative and effective. The accomadation at Eileen's at Karatu and Tortilis Tented Camp was great in terms of comfort, food and hospitality!!

The sceneary was spectacular and the wildlife was plentiful. I have taken away wonderful memeories and great photos.

Highly recoemmended

Tanzania’s southern parks at the end of the rainy season
Overall rating
4/5

I had been already twice in Tanzania but never visited the southern NP. Great experience, very few people, nice scenarios and a green landscape since we were there just when the rainy season was ending.

Amazing experience
Overall rating
4/5

We did a wondeful holiday with this company, thoughtful and well organized. The reservation of the safari was very easy with Martha.
The team has been careful from the moment we landed at Kilimanjaro Airport. Always helpful and flexible.

We enjoyed 5 marvellous safari days with Franky (the best guide in Tanzania - eagle's eyes :))

Also the accomodation they chose were fantastic with a wonderful view and service!

A unique experience - with a team that pampers you in the middle of a wonderful nature!

Ahsante sana!!!

To do one time in your life
Overall rating
5/5

Safari in Tanzania was amazing. Our safari compagny was okay! You have to pay the day before the begining of the Safari, then, you have your jeep with four sits maximum. Driver and Cooker was professional. At the moment of the year, we were really few tourists and alone most of the time ! We saw a lot of animals. Amazing pictures (really!!!!). Accomodations were okay if you are not afraid to sleep with Buffalo around your tent! Only point to criticate is guide informations weren't exactly accurate and little bit poor. For the price we payed I recommand 100% this compagny! Thank You very much for this amazing experience !

Close encounters with wild and very relaxed animals
Overall rating
4/5

If you want to see wildlife and get really close to elephants, buffaloes, lions, hippos, hyenas and several more species of mammals and birds - come to Tanzania! We visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro on our four day itinerary with a six person jeep and basic accomodation.
Our guide and driver Godlove was excellent, spotting and explaining a plethora of animals - most impressive for me was his ability to name ALL the many birds very precisely. Our cook Marley created new and tasty four course menues every day and managed to satisfy the wishes of the meat lovers in our group AND of us vegetarians.
It was merely amazing how close you can get to all the animals and how relaxedly most of them watch you back (apart from most of the birds and zebras who would always get a few metres inbetween them and us).
If you come from central Europe and are used to fixed treaties - you will maybe feel more satisfied with your trip if you let some expectations more loose.. We recommend to take a tour operator from Tanzania. We had one from Kenya with a bureau in Arusha. The reasons for booking that special tour were some promises that the bureau in Arusha was not wanting to hold: a visit to Olduvai Gorge was to be included (already paid), two nights in Serengeti were in the description, game drive in Ngorongoro should have lasted till the afternoon - none of this was happening. Adding to the disappointment was that the bureau in Arusha didn't pay for the Lake Manyara camping site through the weeks before we went so at the camp site they won't let us leave on the next morning until payment was assured - making up to a delay of two hours before we started the journey to Serengeti, when we had expected to start with an early morning game drive there. It took a few nerves and some e-mails untill we got a fair refund for the promises not held.
If you are relaxed about basic accomodation I really recommend you book a camping safari - it's so beautiful to wake up to footsteps outside (an elephant in our case) and "talking" hyenas (who will raid the dustbins). And you better get an excellent driver like Mr. Msemo who "rides" the dirt roads like nothing.
If you want to get in touch with your own wild nature - come to Tanzania!

Amazing trip ! We travel a lot and this trip was the best.
Overall rating
5/5

Even it’s the wet season, the weather was great, always sunny . When it rains it’s only for few minutes and it dries quickly.
No words can describe the wildlife , seeing the animal in their own place is amazing , it’s like nothing else. Just amazing. We were in 4 seasons lodge in Serengeti very good you don’t expect this quality of rooms and food in this place of the world. Top Top Top !!!
Our guide Aaron was just awesome, very listener to our requests and very patient with the kids !! Lucky we were with him
The car was in very good shape very confortable.
The small flights from Dar salam to Serengeti and from Serengeti to Zanzibar are by themselves an experience. Too scary
We highly recommend the travel agency Safari Hub. If you want to have the best trip ever ask for Victoria !!!
