The legend, the master, the Don!
We’ve had an awesome 4 day safari through Tarengeri, Serengeti & Ngorongoro.
Our driver and guide, Don Wally, was the best! Genuine guy who is always smiling, great attitude and fun and patient throughout the day (and night).
It seems like he knows every national park like the back of his hand, and every road by heart. Besides that he knows where to find every animal, sometimes with a little help from his many friends on the radio. He also has lots of info about each and every animal, and the nature that they live in.
Our chef, DJ Chef, was an excellent cook, providing us each day with a different breakfast, lunch and diner with a touch of local magic. A really nice guy, and always willing to help with whatever you need help with.
Accommodations (camping tents) were fine, car was good and the service was very personal and excellent.
All in all a definite recommend to everybody who wants a fun adventure!
Thank Don & DJ Chef!

Extraordinary once in a lifetime experience
Our safari with Waldon was extraordinary. He was friendly, funny, knowledgeable, caring, patient and motivated to give us a great time from minute one until the end. Serengeti took our breath - the endlessness of the park, the vast amount and diversity of animals… We didn‘t expect to see every animal so our joy about ending up seeing a leopard in the tree with his prey, a cheetah family, and lions mating in front of us (I‘m not kidding) was even bigger! We would recommend a safari with Avocet to anyone - we cannot think of a better value for money. Keep your expectations low and you will have a once in a lifetime experience.
Perfect
This organisation and the guide Mike where amazing! They made our second safari experience more than perfect! Mike was the best guide and showed us al the good places in Serengeti! He saw all the cats and helped us. He was funny and made our experience more than perfect! Asana Asante Rafiki!

Everything was very well organized, we would highly recommend!
We enjoyed the trip with Avocet so much. We went during March (low season) but it’s the time for the animals for having the babies and also there were not so many people, was the best decision for us to go this time.
We payed about $800 pp tips included for a camping Safari and it was really worth the price (I actually think it‘s one of the cheapest but it was so great!).
We had a friendly guide who was well informed about the parks and areas we visited and also about every animal we saw. He could answer almost every question and was fun and professional too. Also sitting in the car felt very safe during driving bumpy roads.
Our cook was also a blessing for us. We always had warm and fresh food and enjoyed the breaks as we enjoyed the time in the park!
Also they always asked us when we want to go and were reliable all the time.
On one day it rained and they organized a lodge instead of a tent for us which was also quite surprising but really kind.
So all in all we had a wonderful experience in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and really would recommend the company as we had no problems during the safari.
Just be informed that the car will shared with some people as well. But for us it was really nice to get to know new people even if you always need to decide as a group.

Excellent
We did a 3 day safari with Bakari (driver) and Bato (chef) in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Both of them were amazing.
Bakari was able to handle the vehicle in every situation even in the mud and rain. He drove right up to animals with great eye sight. We were able to see all the big 5 when other safari vehicles were not able to. Bato was great too and he insured we were well fed great warm food.
We would highly recommend them for a safari for a great adventure.

Amazing safari experience with Avocet!
We took a private 3-day safari to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire with Waldon, who was an incredible guide! He was so knowledgeable about the animals, the different environments, and the history of each location. We saw elephants, lions, buffalo, rhinos (from very far away), ostriches, hippos, a ton of birds, lots of monkeys, zebras. It was all amazing and one of the best experiences of my life! Jeff at Avocet welcomed us at his office before we set off to outline our trip for us. He was really friendly and accommodating. We felt so taken care of our entire trip. All our meals were delicious and the lodge we stayed in near Lake Manyara was clean and comfortable, and in a gorgeous little setting -- a perfect place to relax at the end of the day. They even had some African drumming, dancing, and acrobats at night. I can't recommend Avocet enough. They really take care of you throughout the entire trip and Waldon is the best guide -- funny, kind, and knows just about everything about the parks you visit.

Super Professional & Amazing
I communicated with Jeff from Avocet and we had Waldon as our guide for 6 days safari in 3 different parks where we saw all the animals and had an amazing time! Didnt pay anything extra from the initial price and we had everything included!

Better than what we imagined
We are three friends and we spent five days with Bakary, our guide, and Kevin, the cook, in three national parks in Tanzania.
It was quite a lot of money, but we were definitely not disappointed.
We honestly couldn’t have dreamed of anything better. Bakary was really nice, fun, and attentive, and he made sure all our wishes came true.
Even though camping in tents was not always as comfortable as we would have liked, we truly lived a dream in the Serengeti and got to see incredible wildlife up close.
Memories for a lifetime.
Highly recommended!

An amazing safari with lifetime memories
A group of us, three families, were going to safari in Tanzania and Zanjibar. Our trip was 5 days of safari and two days in all inclusive resort in zanzibar. Our "custom package" included everything (transportation, guide, food, hotels, and whatever else it may be). We had customized every aspect of our trip. Going from the US, we didn't know where to start. I sent emails to a few, about 10, highly rated companies on Tripadvisor and other websites. Only three companies responded. I sent follow up emails as I had more questions. Only Hadija at Avocet came back with desirable and detailed answers. I went back and forth multiple times to iron out minute details on hotels, type of safari jeeps, camps class and location, food inclusion and choices, guide info, and routes to name a few. Hadija always responded with promptly with detailed explanation. I really admired timely communication and descriptive communication.
Part of our deal, we were allocated three safari jeeps for three families. Our three drivers/guides, Michael, Waldon, and Ibrahim Bakari, were simply amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. They were quite friendly and conversational. None of them smoked which was an added benefit. All three families felt quite comfortable and at ease with our guides. We waited till last day of our trip to tip them. We were so happy, we tipped twice the recommended amount.
We did have a hiccup with Avocet. One of our flights were canceled due to airline change of schedule and "no refund" was given. Avocet wanted to charge us for the new flights. After back and forth, they agree to "cover" cost of new flights.
Overall it was an amazing trip. We were apprehensive before going to Tanzania. But, Hadija's hand holding made our journey very comfortable and easy. We would definitely utilize Avocet if we go back to Tanzania.
