7 Days Mid-Range Lodge Safari To Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Tarangire

Oscar and Exceed Expectations Tours took wonderful care of us on short notice, providing us with an incredibly affordable quote for a trip within two weeks in just two days. Everything was prepared and supervised by Oscar staff from the time we arrived at JRO until the time we left eight days later. After a long journey, the first night at Researcher's Rest in Arusha served us the ideal reset and help us prepare for the adventure that lay ahead. The following day, Joshua, our guide, got us up on time and made for an excellent companion for our trip of Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. He was really helpful, accommodating, gracious, resourceful, and knowledgeable. The fact that he was able to identify great viewing spots for lions, elephants, leopards, rhinoceroses, hippos, buffaloes, hyenas, warthogs, and a variety of other animals is highly commendable. This was no easy task because the tracks through the parks were covered in tall, dense grass, a lot of muck, and standing water during the height of the rainy season. Every day, Joshua worked hard to provide us a fresh adventure, and he consistently succeeded. Everywhere we stayed, it was nice and relaxing, but the Lemala Ewanjan and Serena camps were our favorites because they were empty when we arrived, so they could give us their full attention and kindness. At the Lemala Mpingo Ridge camp, where the food, views, and comfort were top notch, we spent our last night. The only thing we regret is not staying longer. We are already considering the next time we can go on a safari, and we would cheerfully ask Oscar and his colleagues to set it up for us. We have already referred friends who were inspired by our vacation and give Exceed Expectations Tours our highest recommendation.
