We feel scammed, I would advise you choose another company if possible
We got sold 4 days safari with 4 days FULL day game drive
Day 1 „full day game drive“ entering the Tarangire Park: 12:45 p.m, driving out at 5 p.m
At the entrance gate to the national park were the guides rather chatting with each other then buying the entrance tickets and go finally on a safari
We were told we would sleep the first night in a comfortable king-size bed. We ended up sleeping in a single bed which was 1,80 m long (I´m 1,92m). The mattress was so thin that one could feel the wood under the mattress
Day 2 „full day game drive“
Entering Ngorongoro: 12:30 a.m, driving out at 5:15 p.m
Breakfast started at 9 a.m. After breakfast, we had to wait because the cars weren´t packed correctly and the guides had to change. Before entering the Ngorongoro the guides did again a lot of small talk and wasted time. Then our car with all the guests inside had to push another car from the company because it had broken down
From 5:15 p.m until 8 p.m we drove at high speed through the Serengeti to our camping space. Couldn´t see any animals at this high speed and arrived at the camping ground when it was dark.
Day 3 „full day game drive“ 8 a.m – 4:15 p.m (this was the only day that came close to an actual full day game drive)
We started driving in the Serengeti at 8 a.m, we were by far not the first car who left the camp. After 4:15 p.m we were driving again at high speed to the camp in Ngorongoro Crater for the night.
Day 4 „full day game drive“ 7:15 a.m – 1:40 p.m
Unfortunately, we have been always one of the last cars that start driving in the mornings.
Because the same car we had to push on day 2 broke down again, we had to take all the people from this car in our car. This means that all the seats 2 people had to sit. Safety!?
Apart from that, because this costs us a lot of time, the driver had to drive really really fast to make it to later appointments. Some people feared for their lives
In total very unprofessional company and a disappointing experience. Especially because this tip cost us 650 USD per person. Please stay away from this company.

He was friendly, charming and made the experience perfect
We had an amazing 3-day safari experience with Joel and Avocet Safari. Everything was well organized from start to finish, and we felt very well taken care of throughout the trip.
Joel was extremely friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He made the safari not only informative but also really fun and enjoyable. We saw incredible wildlife and beautiful landscapes, and he always made sure we were comfortable and having a good time.
Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and we would highly recommend Joel and Avocet Safari to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

A superbly organized safari led in a great atmosphere.
Initially, communication regarding organization and payment was a bit difficult.
But then everything went perfectly.
Humphrey was very informative, very attentive to our well-being, and always in a good mood. Martin, our cook, took excellent care of us. Both camps, and especially the tents, were in good condition. For me, the price-performance ratio was just about right.

Really well organized, but also allows flexibility
Jeff was incredibly responsive to all my queries. His flexibility allowed me to make my own plans, at the same time as he facilitated wider group excursions etc.

Well organised and nice schedule for the different parks
We did an 6 day safari, it was well organised with the tents and transportation. Communication with the manager was easy as well because I had an Tanzania simcard so we could call.
Only minor was that we had to pay in cash which was a bit difficult because we were already in Tanzania when we received that information.

Well aranged safari, with experienced guide and human touch
The guide knew what he was doing, knew where to go for good spotting. Communication with Jeff was good, he kept us up to speed and offered alternatives if needed. We were well taken care of with good lunch and a human touch... Jeff was clear about the teams of our booking and explained everything very clearly. Only minus:you have to pay in cash...

Excellent
I would like to start by saying that my guide HUSSEIN is an excellent driver, staying aware of his surroundings, and looking out for the local wildlife, he always found a way to ensure we had an unforgettable encounter with the wildlife. 10/10
As a guide, I want to express my highest praise. He always went above and beyond for us, perfectly explaining the places we visited, and sharing fascinating facts and history about every destination we reached. 10/10
As a human being, he possesses a warmth that you can feel from the very first greeting. He was always looking out for us, and we never once felt unsafe around him. He was consistently kind and gentle with all of us.
we are incredibly grateful to you, Hussein, because you were part of a very special moment in our lifes, since we got engaged at the serengeti. You made our trip an unforgettable experience, and you will forever be a part of our story of our "first time in Africa." Thank you for making it so pleasant and beautiful.
we hope our paths cross again someday. Thank you so much.

Excellent and unforgettable Safari
Mike made my safari an unforgettable experience. He was always attentive to my wishes and needs and went above and beyond to ensure that I felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the trip.
I was particularly impressed by his professionalism and willingness to help. Whenever there were any uncertainties regarding the accommodation, he made every effort to assist me and worked hard to find the best possible solution.
His extensive knowledge, friendly personality, and passion for his work made my safari truly special.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Mike and would like to thank him for this wonderful experience.
