    I'll start by saying that my rating is a 10+!.. Serengeti African Tours exceeded my expectations. I began to plan. my trip about 6 months in advance and after much research I settled on Serengeti African Tour. The communication and support that my trip planner, Inviolate provided was like nothing I'd experienced. It seem no matter at what time of day I sent an inquiry she responded. I even had to make some changes in itinerary along the way and I was accommodated without any issues. Upon arrival the driver was on time, and it was a late evening arrival, to Inviolate personally meeting me for the ride to my hotel. The rest of the safaris and experiences followed the same. My guide was Calvin who was very knowledgeable of the parks and ensured that I had the opportunity to photograph all of the sightings exactly as I had planned. The accommodations, I chose a budget friendly, were outstanding. Comfortable, hot water always, comfortable bedding, EXCELLENT food and plenty of it... there was not one moment where I could point out for improvement. I was saddened to leave behind not only such a great country, landscapes, and sightings, but very peaceful, accommodating, and friendly people. I'm already planning a return trip with my family.

    A wish that has come true I did the safari with my wife and a couple friends. From the first contact to the end everything was super organized and you felt safe in every situation. Every staff member on this tour was very accommodating and not only took care of everything for us, but also put a smile on our faces. It has always been a dream of mine to get to know the heart of Africa and my dream was fulfilled by our tour guide Aboh. His 10 years of experience was felt in every moment. Chasing the Bug Five, he told us everything about the nature, the animals and the land. We could not have had a better man at our side. In addition, the luxury camp in the Serengeti Park is absolute madness. The quality is outstanding and unforgettable. The private dinner is incredibly romantic. I can only recommend to everyone to do this tour.
