A truly amazing experience

We had a truly amazing experience with down 2 earth safari. I can fully recommend them, they are highly professional and everything from the first contact with Joseph, the customized planning of the safari to our needs to the briefing they gave us in our hotel the day before the safari was perfect. Our guide Vincent was awesome and made the 5 days together with him unforgettable. He provided us with a lot of knowledge of the animals and the nationalparks. We could really tell his many years of experience by the way he always anticipated how the animals are moving and setting up our car in the perfect spot. Asante sana!

Best experience ever

Best trip ever!!!! We were so excited about our safari but our time with Joseph exceeded all our expectations. He was so knowledgeable and friendly, taught us so much about Tanzania and the wildlife and was so fun to be around. He helped us organize all the things we wanted to do and made every day perfect. Everywhere we went, it seemed like Jospeh was the best guide because we got to see so many animals and almost all of them so up close because he knew exactly where to go and how to spot them. Others spent days in the park without seeing some things but we got it all. Everywhere we stayed was great, food was great, people were great, we hope to come back one day and do another trip with Joseph! Thank you for everything!

Memory for life!🧡

Me and my wife had the best experience using down2earth safaris. Our guide Baboo took such good care of us and had us booked at some really nice camps with superb food and a taste of luxury while enjoying serengeti and all the beautiful animals it has to offer. Couldn’t ask for more. Next time we will bring the kids! Higly recommend down2earth safaris💚

Once in a lifetimer!

We joined a Safari through Serengeti arranged by Down 2 Earth. Our family of four (kids 13 and 14) and our friends' family of four (kids 14 and 17) We opted for a five day safari, most of it spent in Serengeti but with a day in Ngorongoro as well. Not being used to Safari's - nor having visited the African continend prior to this - we were amazed of the richness of wildlife we saw. Just the "commute" getting in to the park from Arusha was amazing. I credit a lot of this to the Down 2 Earth guides and their knowledge of the parks and where the spots were good. Our two guides (one per car) were very likeable and great resources for presenting what we saw, they were also, in all simplicity, great guys to hang around - a prerequisite when you spend upwards of twelve hours a day in a car. We can wholeheartedly recommend joining a Down 2 Earth safari and would not shy away from doing so again should the opportunity arise!

A lifechanging experience.

One of the best trips we have taken! We were on a 6 day Safari with our amazing guide Babuu, who was super friendly, knowledgeable and kind. We saw so many amazing things on the Safari, and we travelled to ledd touristy places, which was Perfect. The accomodations were very nice, clean and comfortable. The food was the best we had in African, and we even had breakfast with elephants! Would 100% recommene this trip and company to everyone!

Incredible safari in Tanzania!

An incredible experience from start to finish. We had a lovely time with our guide babuu that showed us all the amazing animals and answered all our questions! Food in the lodges was delicious and we felt safe and in good hands, even when there was lions outside our tent! A must to experience at least once in your life!

Once in a lifetime experience with the best tour guide!

The most incredible safari experience we could have ever hoped for. Our guide, Babuu, was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and experienced during the entire tour. He took us to secluded places in Serengeti and we saw lions, baby cubs up close, a lion chase, rhinos, elephants 5 metres away from our car, cheetas, leopards, and so much more! The entire tour felt safe, comfortable and exciting! Could not recommend Down 2 Earth Safaris enough

Amazing first safari experience!

Just got back from an amazing 6 days in Tanzania and loved every minute of it. Joseph was an awesome guide. We got up close to so many animals and he knew so many facts about them. He even knew where to find the baby lion cubs our last morning in the Serengeti which was a very special moment for everyone on our trip. Will forever remember this trip! Would highly recommend!
