An unforgettable safari experience with Rashid & Allen!

We had an amazing 5-day safari experience with Serengeti African Tours! Our guide Rashid was very knowledgeable and made sure we saw incredible wildlife. Our cook Allen prepared delicious meals throughout the trip. Very kind people, we truly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend this team for an unforgettable safari in Tanzania! 🦁🐘🌍

Amazing 5 days safari with camping experience

Great experience! We were lucky to spot all big 5 and our guide Rashid made everything go very smoothly. He is experienced and calm in any situation. The Serengeti camping needs some serious care but the Ngorongoro one was great. Delicious meals with extra care from our chef Allen were highly appreciated. Totally worth it!

The experience totally exceeded our expectations! Bayona was so knowledgeable, friendly and fun, which made the whole safari even more enjoyable. We saw so many amazing animals and learned loads about the wildlife and the area. Such an unforgettable experience — we’d definitely recommend it! thank you so much for the whole team

Nice safari in september

We booked a 5-day safari exploring Tarangire, Serengeti, and Manyara National Parks. We spent two nights in very comfortable lodges. We also spent two nights camping in the heart of the park for a truly immersive experience. All camping equipment is provided. Our driver, Emmanuel, was very friendly and took us to the best spots, teaching us all about the animals. Thank you again! We greatly appreciated having our cook, Pascal, who prepared delicious meals for us throughout the trip. We were able to see all the Big Five and more. We highly recommend this agency for your next safari!

A beautiful safari experience

We booked the 5-day private budget safari with accommodation at campsites. We were a group of seven friends, all students. Our guide and driver, Mathew, picked us up from our hostel in Arusha. The campsites and accomodations were clean and comfortable, and there was always the option to take a shower. Only at the Serengeti campsite was there no hot water. The food was excellent. Our cook, Dennis, made sure we were never hungry, and every meal was delicious. Our guide, Mathew, helped us see the Big Five and made sure we spotted a wide variety of animals. He is an excellent driver, and we always felt safe with him. The wildlife and scenery were absolutely amazing. It was an unforgettable experience, and we would definitely do it again!

amazing experience

We had an amazing experience on the 5 Days Serengeti Camping Safari — truly one of the highlights of our trip! Everything was well organized from start to finish, and the itinerary was perfectly planned to maximize wildlife viewing. Our guide Luka was exceptional — knowledgeable, patient, and very skilled at spotting wildlife. He always made sure we had the best views and took time to explain what we were seeing, which made the whole experience much more meaningful. A special shoutout to our chef Pascal as well — the food was incredible, far beyond what we expected for a camping safari. Every meal was fresh, delicious, and gave us great energy for the long days.

Budget Camping Safari

One of the best experiences of my life! Serengeti and Ngorongoro are definitely the highlights and would do them again. Tarangire is also great for elephants and giraffes. Lake Manyara is hit or miss but has a lot of baboons. 5 days was definitely enough to see a wide range of things. Our tour guide Matthew was very good and very knowledgeable on the area. And our cook Dennis made very good meals! Would definitely use Serengeti African tours again!

Amazing experience!

As nature lovers, this safari has been a turning point in our lives. A unique and unforgettable experience where the animals come to see you, not the other way around—this is when you truly realize what real freedom is. It’s true that luck plays a role, but having such an experienced guide like Matthew allowed us to enjoy the trip to the fullest and have truly incredible encounters. My favorite moment was when a pregnant leopard calmly decided to visit us right next to the 4x4. Situations like that only happen when the driver knows how to handle the vehicle and always maintains respect for wildlife. He also explained every detail about the parks and was very open with us—we had a great time! A 100% recommended experience.

Amazing!

The tour was absolutely incredible! The first three days were with our guide Peter and chef Richard, and everyone in the group absolutely loved them. They make a fantastic duo — authentic, passionate, and truly exceptional at what they do. You can really tell they love their work, and that kind of charisma just can’t be replicated. I’ve done many tours around the world, but I’ve never felt such genuine nostalgia for a group as I do for this one. I also want to give a special mention to Geoffrey Samwel, who handled my airport transfers both ways. He’s a wonderful person and honestly should be leading safaris too — I found his explanations and local insights even more engaging than those of the guide on the last day (who was still very good, just not as detailed). Points for improvement: The Nyani Campsite really needs to be replaced with another option — it doesn’t meet basic conditions. The tour itinerary would be better if it ended with the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I did it the other way around, and while it was still great, the last two days didn’t feel as thrilling as the first ones. I’ll definitely be recommending your agency to all my friends and family! Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience!
