Incredible Memories on Our Three-Day Safari

Three Days in Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara & Tarangire National Park From the moment I started messaging Mary while planning my safari from London, I knew I was in good hands. She was patient and answered all my questions thoroughly. I never felt pressured to book, and she always encouraged me to take my time and explore my options. The cost was within my budget, and Mary was more than happy to change the lodge when I wasn’t completely satisfied with the one initially offered. Our three-day safari was very well organised. We were informed in advance about the pick-up times and which park we would be visiting. Our safari guide, Joseph Rasta, was an incredible young man with an amazing wealth of knowledge. His driving was excellent, and whenever we wanted to stop and watch the animals, he happily did so. He truly made our safari adventure even more special. He ensured we saw as much as possible and explained every little detail about the park and the animals. I was in awe of him and learned so much. He even challenged us with trivia questions which we enjoyed as a group. He even ensured my mum was involved even with her broken English. 🥰🥰 Thank you Joseph, for an absolute dream holiday. I feel so lucky to have experienced this with my mum. Thank you for making it extra special for both of us. You showed my mum such respect and kindness — something I will never forget. Best safari ever! I will definitely be back very soon with my husband and daughters.

Amazing experience!

The tour was amazing! We got picked up directly from our Hostel and everything was one time. The drive to the Crater was nice and the food provided was also really good. The crater and it‘s animals are beautiful to see, the nature there is amazing. We drove through different parts of the Crater and when we spotted some animals we drove close to them. What really made our experience special was our amazing guide Machete! He is a very nice, open and smart guy and we had a really fun and good time together. We felt well taken care off and it was really nice to talk to him. He also knows a lot about the Crater and its animals there and told us very interesting stuff about it. I would definetly do this tour again and recommend it to anyone!!

Great experience overall with a fantastic team

We had a really nice experience overall and the staff made a big difference. Ally was super kind and helpful, especially when we had a problem with our luggage. He was always warm and willing to help. Joseph explained everything very clearly and made the guide fun and interactive, getting everyone involved. Filomena was always available to answer our questions and help with anything we needed. We also want to mention Daniel, who was very friendly and genuinely cared about us having a good experience. We stayed at Summit Lodge and Ngare Lodge, and the service and facilities at both places were very good and comfortable. The only thing we would improve is the organization between groups, flight schedules and safari times. Because of coordination issues with other groups, we only got about two hours of safari in Tarangire, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, the value for money was excellent.

My guide did an amazing...

My guide did an amazing job answering all of the questions I had. He also took me by the supermarket before dropping me back off at my Airbnb when I asked him. He went above and beyond what he needed to do in order to ensure I was satisfied with my trip.

Crater experience

Driving down the crater was wonderful. Reaching out to different corner of the crater including edges of the water bodies was exciting. Weather was moderate. Animals were active. We saw deer, Hedgehog, crane, flamingo and the wild ones Lion, Rhino, Hippo, elephant, a few baby elephants playing. The view point provides a fantastic view of the crater. There is plenty of water and natural food through out the year. No doubt, the animals living there won't migrate. Mike is a wonderful guide. He knows how to spot the animals at the right location and the right time.

Ngorongoro Safari

What an incredible adventure. The photos of the landscape and animals were astonishing. I now have a video of a male lion walking alongside our vehicle. My only complaint, I have to switch vehicles 3 times to other groups to return to my hotel.

Stunning experience - so grateful!

Omar, our driver and guide, has a profund experience and extraordinary spirit: He knows every inch of Ngorongoro park and therefore we were able to discover all important animals you would love to see on a Safari. He is also very knowledgeable about important background information. did put us „in the drivers seat“ to chose how long we would like to stay observing an animal. I can only highly recomend him as a guide! Thanks also to „Mountain Warriors“ who collaborate inter-agency and made my Safari possible on short notice.
