Personal recommandation Amazing Safari Experience We had a wonderful safari experience and truly felt like we were on a carefree holiday. We were very lucky and got to see everything we had hoped for. We especially enjoyed the great conversations with Suzana and Richard, our guide, who made the trip even more enjoyable. My personal highlight was the Ngorongoro Crater. I didn't like the Great Migration that much because there were quite a lot of vehicles at that time of year, which made the experience a little less special. The food was very good but we had a lot of rice so you have to like it, and the accommodations were beautiful. All the hotel staff were friendly and welcoming, and I especially recommend staying in the tented camps inside the parks — they are definitely worth the experience. One part I personally enjoyed less was Arusha, as we often felt pressured by locals trying to sell us things, which made exploring the city less enjoyable for me. We also extended our trip with a holiday in Zanzibar, and I would especially recommend the north for its beautiful beaches and sea. Overall, we had a fantastic trip and would definitely recommend this company. The only area that could be improved was punctuality. The tour itself was well organized, but some of the arranged taxi drivers, for example to and from the airport, were repeatedly late, which was a little frustrating. Apart from that, everything was excellent, and we would happily recommend this experience to others!

incroyable Nous avons vécu un safari en Tanzanie tout simplement inoubliable. Dès le premier jour, tout était parfaitement organisé : véhicule confortable, guide passionné, attentif et extrêmement compétent, et des paysages à couper le soufflé. Nous avons eu la chance d'observer une quantité incroyable d'animaux dans leur habitat naturel : lions, éléphants, girafes, zèbres... chaque journée était un émerveillement. Les parcs sont magnifiques et offrent des panoramas spectaculaires

An Unforgettable Last-Minute Safari with Exceptional Service We were incredibly lucky to be able to organize this safari in Tanzania at the last minute, yet everything was absolutely perfect. The company, led by Suzana, provided us with an exceptional journey. Suzana herself accompanied us for five days, ensuring that every detail was taken care of to make our experience unforgettable. The accommodations were stunning, and despite our late booking, we were given high-quality lodgings, especially in the Serengeti Reserve, where the setting was simply magical. Our safari guide, Lewis, with over 30 years of experience, took us to the best spots to observe wildlife. Thanks to his expertise, we were fortunate enough to see almost all of the iconic animals across the parks. A huge thank you to Suzana and her team for this incredible adventure, as well as for the thoughtful gestures that made this trip even more special for us.
