Excellent, personalized safari trip for our family of 4, highlight includes viewing ALL big 5
5/5

While finalizing the tour operator we had several options and quotes. Our criteria was to go with a local operator (to support them) at the same time who can provide us personalized and more immersive tour ensuring we learn and experience local culture, flora and fauna. Now that the safari is complete, highly recommend John and his Sercar Serengeti Wildlife Safaris, we couldn't have asked for more.

John and his team were extremely accessible right from the time we sent the inquiry to welcoming us in Tanzania to following up during each day of the safari till the send off from Tanzania. Our safari included Serengeti, Ndutu (calving), Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara.

All the accommodations were booked as expected tailoring it for our family of 4 (sometimes with connected rooms)

Our guide, Emmanuel was a local Maasai with deep knowledge of the local culture, flora and fauna and helped us find, view ALL big 5s. Other highlights include, viewing Cerval, a nocturnal cat few times, viewing Cheetah and cubs in Ndutu, hard to find Rhino in Ngorongoro

We also had strict vegetarian diet preference which was handled by John and his team every day and each of the accommodations.

Great service and flexible schedule
5/5

I booked both 6-day Kilimanjaro Machame route and 5-day Safari with the company and it turned out to be a great experience.

I acclimated well in Kilimanjaro and communicated with the guide Ami to descend one day in advance. They helped adjust the route and added one more day of city tour in Arusha without additional fee except for accommodation.

They assigned a guide Sam (for the city part) and it was one of my favourite parts in the full journey to explore the city, which proved to be a great balance between natural scenes and local culture.

The safari was more tiring than I expected to drive on the bumped road. However, the guide Ali was very experienced, like other guides, they all have over ten years of experience, so he could always spotted the animals in distance. He found a serval in Serengeti and it’s a rare experience.

Overall, the trip with Serengeti wildlife safari was a nice and correct choice.

The best safari experience I could imagine
5/5

So after sending many quotes to alot of companies I decided to go with this company owned by John. The quote looked great but what would await me was even better. Because of the high season some of the accomodations where not available so we had other ones than that we saw on the quote, but they where much better. For the safari we had experienced guides and we where lucky to see the big 5 in 5 days of safari. The guides had a lot of knowledge about flora and founa and also about history and geography, so every question someone asked would be answerd, and they even liked being asked questions because it challenges them to think.

Overall I would really reccomend booking here if you want a unforgettable safari

Once-in-a-lifetime experience — perfectly organized from start to finish
5/5

We didn’t know Serengeti Safari Wildlife at all before booking, but from the very first moment, they gave us total peace of mind. We were in direct contact with John, the owner, who was always available, responsive and offered unmatched flexibility in everything: from dates, routes, accommodations, and even last-minute changes during the trip.

We booked a private luxury safari through them — and I can honestly say it was significantly more affordable than going through any European agency. The whole experience was perfectly tailored to us.

Our driver and guide, Godson, was simply outstanding. He knew every corner of Tanzania like the back of his hand and always managed to find the best spots to observe wildlife, even in the most remote areas. His driving, tracking skills and warm personality made the entire journey even more memorable — a solid 10/10.

The agency also organized our Mount Kilimanjaro climb, and once again, everything was handled with the same level of flexibility and professionalism. We chose a 6-day trek and were supported by a fantastic 13-person crew, including:
• 2 amazing guides (special thanks to Ami, our lead guide — highly skilled, encouraging and kind),
• A summit guide, chef (the food was unbelievably good every day),
• Assistant and several porters who made us feel completely safe and supported the entire way.

We are not experienced trekkers, but thanks to the team’s careful pacing, encouragement and care, we reached the summit comfortably and without any major issues. They truly helped us push beyond our limits in a way that still felt manageable and enjoyable.

As we were on our honeymoon, they surprised us with thoughtful gifts, including personalized T-shirts and even a celebratory cake. It was a lovely touch that made us feel special and appreciated.

To top it all off, the agency even arranged a charter flight for us from the northern Serengeti back to Arusha — seamless and perfectly handled.

In summary, if you’re looking for a local, trustworthy, flexible and highly professional team, Serengeti Safari Wildlife is a hidden gem. We couldn’t be happier with the service and the memories we now carry for life.

We recommend them 100%, and would book with them again in a heartbeat

It was a great safari!
5/5

It was a great safari trip, my guide was very professional, I saw a lot of animals, the meals were great for 3 days and 2 nights and more importantly, had a great trip with a partner from a different country without knowing any English. I would choose to work with travel agent John again 🤝

Mtina
5/5

Brilliant tour with Mtina as we saw all relevant animals. Mtina is really one with the animals, spots them even in hidden places and can anticipate their movements well, giving us the opportunity to be in the pole position for viewing (in busy viewing moments when other cars are around)

Wonderful experience, organization a bit chaotic
4/5

We had the best time climbing Kilimanjaro for 5 Days through Marangu Route. 9 people in total supported us. We had two great guys (especially Elly was wonderful in explaining the nature to us). The nicest waiter Ashraf, and overall we had a good time with the team. After that we spent one night in Arusha to then have 2 days in Serengeti and 1 day in Ngorogoro crater. The Safari was well organized and we saw fascinating animals. Some things for improvement:
The packing list was incomplete. We did not know that we should bring a duffle bag, multiple gloves, that our bags were carried etc. At the Safari we were told sleeping bags were provided, however they were not washed and therefore we would have loved our own. Also we were told on Kilimanjaro that we had double rooms but had to share rooms two nights. Pick up times were communicated on very short notice and we had to remind the tour operator that he owed us one more night that we had paid for. Again, tour was amazing but organization needs improvement.
