    We had a great experience with Serengeti african tours!! It was all very comfortable since they took care of all the transportation. As soon as we arrived, Marthacame to our accommodation to explain what our itinerary was going to be for the next few days. It is very expressive and pleasant. We started the safari with Abu! as our guide. It was amaizing

    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.

    Amazing Safari experience I joined the 5 day safari tour and it was amazing from start to finish. Booking with Serengeti African Tours was very smooth and easy. Lucas, the owner, was very quick to respond to all my queries. Overall, everything went as planned. I booked a mixed accommodation - 2 nights in lodge & 2 nights camping. To my surprise, i was upgraded to stay at the lodge and it was excellent. It just opened and according to them, I was their second guest. I was literally the only guest during my 2 night stay and everyone was so accommodating and helpful. As for the safari tour, I was lucky to be part of an amazing group headed by our excellent driver/guide, Abu. Abu was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to provide good details about the safari, what to expect and he was able to answer all questions. We were also able to see the Big 5. I highly recommend Serengeti African Tours. They’re truly the best in Tanzania. They go above and beyond what is expected. I’m definitely booking another tour with them next time I visit.

    Unforgettable! We had a really nice trip, all organised, but also flexible to our wishes. Our guide David gave us interessting facts (we could ask him everything) and our cook Richard always created delicious food - both really friendly, funny and they made sure that we feel well. All sleeping equipment was available and it is a nice experience to sleep in the nature in the tent (although a little bit cold;)). Just recommendable!!

    Unexpectedly awesome! My husband and I did a private safari - 5 days, 4 nights. We were blown away at all the animals we were able to see, and the competence and experience of our guide, David. He knew when to be patient and as a result, we were able to see a pair of rhinos pretty close up. We counted 60 lions in 5 days! The accommodations were perfect for us, and we certainly were well-fed. Lucas was wonderful to work with through the booking process, and always very responsive to my many inquiries. He even came to meet us in person at the conclusion of our safari since we were not able to connect in advance. The only reason I titled this as "unexpectedly awesome" was because we really didn't know what to expect at the start of the safari and were blown away by the wonderful experience.
