Shambolic
2/5

I booked a mid range tour but was put with a budget group meaning I stayed at different places than the rest. This put an average of 2 hrs a day extra driving each day meaning I arrived at my lodge at 8pm, 7pm and 6.30pm respectively the first 3 days despite very early starts.
One day we arrived at a lodge to be told that I didn’t have a booking but I was in fact booked into a place 45 mins back from where we had just driven.
The following morning we had to retrace the route again to pick the others up then drive back again to enter the Ngorogoro crater.
I had been in the car 2 hours despite being a 10 minute drive to the entrance.
On the final day I joined a new group but as before the tour, I had to chase Noel up twice to find out what was going on.
It was as though he just didn’t care.
I had no contact during or since it ended to see how I found it.
It’s easy to say it’s Africa and that’s the way it is but I’ve been travelling around here for 4 months and this is without doubt the most shambolic episode I’ve had.
I definitely would not recommend this company.

3/5

The Safari tour was what I hoped for, and would have rated it higher but don’t know who’s to blame. The Safari group of six people were great but found out that our guide had to manage us from three different Safari companies. All with different 3 day experience packages. I was unfortunately dropped off last after every days safari, (15-45 minutes later). Plus the communication on where I was staying was poor, but I had other transportation management needs that worked out well. I could have inquired more about everything but majority of the time there was not WiFi signal in the bush. The guide/driver knew where to go to give us the best experience. After all the my doubts being fulfilled it was a very good experience.

Great experience, worth to be done
4/5

Unique experience, everything was organized perfectly and they accomodated our needs. I would expect a little bit more clearance about payment (definitely the best option is to pay in $, don’t make an error to pay in € or other currencies), a newer car with more comfort, and maybe a binoculars (bring it with you as they are not provided but really useful). Over all good experience and i would recommend it

Very well organized and always helpful
4/5

The tour was very well organized. The communication was always very easy, I always got an answer within 2 hours.
-1 star, because we got food poisoned, but this was not theire fault, it fault of the lodge.
In total it was a very nice experience and i can highly recommend going on safari with them!

Bucket List Experience
4/5

As my first (but not last) safari in Africa, our trip was very well organized, gave us lots of wildlife experience, and not the least provided excellent lodging. A trip to remember!

Good value for money, offering a great mid-range safari
4/5

We had a really great experience on a 4-day mid-range safari with Serengeti Luxury Safaris. Noel was responsive and helpful from the start and our guide Philemon was great, he made us feel welcome and safe and worked hard to make sure we see as many animals as possible - which we did! He was also very positive and friendly throughout. Accommodation, food and services during the safari were also very good.

Some minor hiccups did occur which made us give 4 instead of 5 stars - Arusha accommodation changed without us knowing, there were some unexpected pricing issues and some delays due to the car breaking down and one road being blocked due to heavy rains. These were outside of our guide's control, however, and he did his best to ensure this didn't affect our safari too much and we did manage to see everything we wanted and more. All in all a great experience, good value for money and we are very grateful to both Noel and Philemon for the wonderful experience. Would definitely do it again.
Asante sana!

Trustfully.
4/5

I had a lifetime experience doing this 4 days safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, you are guaranteed to see so many animals in theirs natural habitat, depending on the right season, the landscapes and the wildlife are breathtaking, staying at nice lodges. Staying inside the Serengeti National park is quite extreme, you will be surrounded by wild animals just outside the lodge, hearing lions, hyenas and hippos walking around in the evening and night but you will be taken care of.
I will absolutely recommend this tour to whom are looking for amazing adventures, but be aware not taking big baggage with you.

Very easy to work with
4/5

We booked a 4-day safari with Serengeti Luxury Safaris in June. Noel was very easy to talk to and informative. We had a "snag" in our flight and missed a connection due to a delay. Noel, still made a point to make the best out of the remaining days. The tour driver really tried to make sure we were able to see a variety of animals. I would highly recommend using this company because they made things a lot easier for us.

Good combination of safari with a really good guide
4/5

I would have given 5 stars, but the coordination and organisation of the first two days was a bit confusing. Too much different people in different hotels. So I got late to my dinner at the first night. The tour itself was perfect. I have seen all big 5 and lots of cats. The parcs are amazing and the lodges great. I booked the luxury tour and it was. The guide tried to reach all of our needs. Thanks for that.

Once in a Lifetime Safari Experience
4/5

We had a lovely guide who explained everything professionally.
We saw A LOT of various animals. ALL big 5!
The wildlife and the landscape was marvellous!

All of the lodges were beautiful, however we did not see a lot of it. We always arrived very late.

In total we did the safari with 7 people. We were split into 4 ppl who did loging and 3 who did camping. Due to this we lost a lot of time.

Other than that we loved the Safari and this unique experience.
The communication with the company was very easy an reliable.
