Safari económico grupal de 4 días, 3 noches, lago Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro

We had a very bad experience with avocet company and particulary with our guide. We were picked up late by almost two hours on the first morning, and after that, we were not given any explanations as to itenirary, the daily plan, where we were supposed to be driving to ect'. This seemed to be a repeating theme throught the safari, while for example asking our guide what time to be ready tomorrow morning he replied "I don't know". We were delayed while entering the park, and it seemed that jeeps that arrived after us, entered before us. Again, no explanations. Befoe finalizing the safari we went over the meal plans with the company, as we have dietary restrictions. Jeff the manager promised us that all would be taken care of, the chef would be informed andthe guide as well. The first morning we approched the guide and tge chef and once agian explainedthe matter, and were promised that all would be okay. Unfortanuatley at lunch, our needs were completely ignored, and there was no food we could eat. When we approched the guide his first reaction was to blame us and tell us that it was our fault that we had not informed them in the morning (even though we had!and even done so the day before). It was agreed that the company would buy us some snacks in the small shop, and that would substitute a meal of rice vegetables and fish. When we came to purchase the itmes ( potatoe chips and cashews) the guide said that he did not have enough money, and if we wanted all the food we would have to pay ourselves (once again, the safari plan incluses 3 meals a day). On the last day, the bottled water which is included in the safari price ran out. When we approched the guide he said the water is finished, and if we wish we can buy our own water. When insisting that it is the company's responsibility he became extremely upset saying that there is a budget and it has finished, and it is our fault for using too much water. The attitude was unpleasant and suprisingly rude. It is a shame that the company doesnt take care of these logistics. Further more, we felt that our guide was not very interested in guiding us. He gave very few explanations regarding the animals, and was not very welcoming of questions. As well, most of the time it seemed that he was just following other cars and the information he recieved on the walkie talkie, and did not know where to drive by himself. There were times when we were just waiting for him to be told where to drive to. In summary, the parks are beautiful and seeing the wildlife was a truly special experience. We were sorry that all of the around was unpleasant. We were highly disappointed with the company and guide. The logistics were not done well (water finishing, problems with meals, the car emitting smoke twice inside, the car door being broken so it had to be held closed so that the passenger would not fall out). Furthermore, we think it is a real shame that the company allows itself to hire unprofessional and unpleasnat guides. We would definitly not reccomend using avocet. When researching the comany we saw that they had many good reviews and only a few bad ones. We figured that it is always that way. It may be true- but remeber, you only go on one safari, and you should try to make it a good experience.

We had the most amazing safari experience with Avocet and Mike as a guide in particular. Mike is very experienced, knowledgeable and kind, we learned and saw so much and were very well taken care of by both the guide and the cook. Many thanks!

Excellent Tour, amazing scenery and Wildlife in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Food were just delicious. Recommend 100%

That was awesome! The organization is at the highest level! The driver speaks excellent English, a very nice and sympathetic guy. The tour organizer, a guy named Jeff, is always in touch, and answers all questions promptly. I chose a tour that involves sleeping in tents. But you can choose the option with the best accommodation. For me, sleeping in a tent is more affordable, and more acceptable in my perception of nature. Our driver, Mo, aka our part-time guide, fulfilled all our whims. Tried to show us every animal possible. Never refused to stop us to take another photo. I advise you to take a four-day tour in order to enjoy every moment of your safari in detail and in detail. Each reserve is unique in its own way. But I was particularly impressed by the crater of the Ngorongoro volcano. This place will kill you with its beauty and diversity of the animal world. Don't miss this place. I'm very happy to have spent this trip with Avocet Safaris. For a reasonable amount of money, I saw everything I wanted.

I was travelling solo and was matched with a team of 6 wonderful people. Our driver, Magic Mike was THE BEST tour guide ever. He made sure we saw all animals, he went the extra mile when we had a flat tire and he is the funniest and most knowledgeable guy ever. The experience is one of the best i have had in my life and i can only recommend you to experience it as well. I leave the 4 days with 7 new friends

Jambo, jambo bwana! We made our first safari with Walden from Avocet Safari. An experienced guide who brought us closer to the animals. He's got a unique knowledge of the field. His good humor created a relationship between the 7 participants of the safari. We warmly thank Walden for the best experience of our lives.

It was amazing everything was organized and it was perfect. Mike was out tour guide he was amazing and extremely helpful. Best safari experience.

We went to the safari with two young girls connected to Mike's jeep through another company we closed the safari with. As soon as we met Mike the guide began the experience. Beyond that he had a lot of knowledge and knew exactly where to go and when to get to see all the animals. Amazing personality! During the journey he kept checking that everything was okay with us and could answer every question that came up in our minds. When it rained at night he arranged for us a tent and dry sleeping bags and did everything to keep us warm and not wet. Again want to thank the location without it the experience would not be the same

Wonderful company and amzing tour guide, Mike, who put great effort in allowing us to spot the all big fives wild animals, Leon, Leopard, Rhino, Elephaw, and the Hippo.

I feel fortunate to have met and used this company for my safari. They were very helpful from the beginning and even on covid19 times when I thought I wasn't going to be able to fly because of covid-19 restrictions i was guaranteed my deposit back. I was fortunate to have done safaries in Kenya and Uganda before arriving Tanzania and i feel so happy i already had an idea what to compare this company to. I learned through my little experience that your guide makes a huge difference in what you see and to this i can say very comfortably Mike (Magic Mike) was the best guide i had in my entire time in east africa. Not only was he always friendly and with great positive energy but he was also very knowledgeable and an incredible spotter. He made every effort to make our experience in our safari unique and unforgettable. We shared some amazing times and laughs that will forever be tattooed in my brain. All in all, i recommend this company and Mike to any person wanting to do a safari for an unforgettable trip of a lifetime.
