Amazing trip with a lovely guide
Godlisten brings us to Materuni waterfalls. After a great walking, learning a lot of things about all the fruit trees, we spent some times at the waterfall by swimming and jumping in the (cold) water of the Kilimandjaro, tanning and enjoying the moment.
we had the opportunity to spend some times in the local coffee tour with nice people, before taking our lunch in the local restaurant next to Materuni.
After this moment, we took the road to Chemka hotsprings. We spend an amazing moments with friends, enjoying the moment, the water and the all place... You can buy drinks and food next to the hotsprings.
Thanks to Godlisten for the moment and the memories, for sure we will remember it.

Very good tour operator. Professional and smiling
I was able to experience an unusual adventure (camping in a magnificent location) thanks to Everlasting African Adventure. I would recommend this tour operator. Pleasant, professional and smiling guide.

Amazing!
I had an amazing day trip to the Ngorongoro Crater! Everlasting african adventure took such great care of us because it was a joining group tour, even arranging an early pick-up from Kilimanjaro to accommodate our group needing to be back by a certain time. The guide was friendly, fun, and knowledgeable -- we especially loved that they sent a professional photographer along with us to document our trip. The crater itself is magical If you're on the fence about this trip, don't miss it!
Looking forward to do more trips on future and visit Serengeti.

Meet expectations
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆
We had a great 4-day safari experience and really enjoyed the trip overall. Our guide was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and always made sure we had the best opportunities to see wildlife.
The only areas for improvement would be the food, as the portions seemed to get smaller each day. On the last day, everyone received just one chicken drumstick, and some people barely had any meat at all. We also would have appreciated being asked before making stops at two souvenir markets on the way to the airport, as we were not informed about these detours in advance.
Overall, it was a fantastic safari and we would definitely recommend it, especially because of the great guide and the amazing wildlife experience.

Friendly and service minded
We came in touch with Everlasting Adventures and Godlisten a couple of months prior to our vacation in Tanzania. We exchanged some chats with Godlisten who was very friendly and helped us by showing us different alternatives of tours for the safari. Eventuelly we ended up going for the midrange safari with 3 nice lodges at a total price of around 2 500 dollars for me and my wife.
We had very nice help of Godlisten the weeks prior to the safari and he helped us with buying plane tickets to go from Zanzibar to Arusha, and he was there himself to meet up with us on the morning of our first day of the safari.
We could pay the rest of the trip (90% as 10% had been paid in a deposit ahead of the trip) and we were driven to our guide for the safari, Bulldozer, from Dancing Simba Safaris.
We were told we would be max 6 ppl in the jeep, but we were actually 7 meeting up 3 americans and 2 australians. This didn't do too much for us as they were all very friendly and we got along well.
We opted for a 3 nights & 4 days safari and we started off with Tarangire National Park and continued with 2 days in Serengeti before finishing in Ngorongoro. Bulldozer was a very funny and social guy who valued respect among us safari goers, and keeping the joy and happiness flowing throughout the safari.
I do have to say there's a lot of riding in the car over the course of the safari, we spent about 8-10 hours in the jeeps every day. But surprisingly, time flies by quick and you have so much to chat about and so much to see.
Before going in on the constructive feedback I'd like to point out we had a super nice safari while in the parks and could really enjoy seeing the big 5 and lots of big cats. My feeling was though, given my brief experience, that we were more lucky to stumble upon other cars who had spotted exciting animals, rather than us finding them ourselves. Unfortunately, Bulldozer's walkie talkie was broken and therefore no communication was held between the guides as to where you could see the animals in the parks. Despite this, we managed to see A LOT and even the big 5!
The only negative aspect is that it's not really value for money going on a mid range safari if your fellow jeep comrades are on a budget safari, with less nice lodges and tents. Me and my wife felt we were always prioritized last, and we always dropped the tent guys first at their lodge or tent camp. Then we were driven to our lodges and for the 3 nights we arrived at: 6.30 pm, 7.45 pm and 5 pm. It was only on the last night we could actually enjoy the fancy lodge we had paid so much for to enjoy. For the first two nights, we arrived after sunset and all we did was to have dinner and go to bed. We then had to wake up first and were driven to the others lodge/tent where we had to wait patiently for the others to finish up their packing and morning routines. Ideally, we would have liked to be picked up last or driven to the others when they were ready.
We compared pricing and apparently we paid 100% more than what the others had done, just for getting nicer lodges that we couldn't really use since we arrived so late each day.
Therefore, I highly recommend booking your safari with Bulldozer, Godlisten and Everlasting Adventures/Dancing Simba, but I do recommend you to only book the budget safari as you will not get value for money with the midrange safari.
Out of the lodges we stayed at, we liked Ngorongoro Marera View the best, followed by Ang'ata and lastly Safari Haven. They were all very nice and I wish we would have had more time to enjoy the lodges and the luxury we paid for.

Poor communication
This was my first safari as a solo traveler. This review is of the safari company, not the safari! I opted for a 5day group safari. I chose Everlasting as they seemed to communicate well prior to me committing to go with them! I did obtain 3 quotes and they were all comparable in price and itinerary. What I learned during the safari was that smaller tour companies ( Everlasting) don't exactly have your safari "well planned" ( it was described to me this way). This means that if you have a group tour for various locations and a different level ( budget vs. midrange), it is likely that you will have different drivers. They confer with each other the night before to see who is available. This is what happened to me. Not only was I dropped off at the wrong lodge, but, if I had not reviewed my itinerary, I would not have been sent to rhe correct lodge ( much nicer and what I paid for). I had 3 different guides on a 5 day safari. And, honestly, the problem is that Everlasting never bothered to inform me that someone not belonging to their company would be picking me up or that guides would change! One morning, they sent a driver who spoke no English or sign indicating he was there for me. I was then told by Everlasting that I would be driven to another lodge to meet with another guide. I was, in fact, driven to the park to meet with the guide. Just poor communication!!
Also, because I had midrange accommodations, I was 45 min away from the budget travelers. This meant, I had to get up before sunrise to travel and pick them up to begin game drive and was the last one to reach my accommodation at days end!
I did not allow this to ruin my safari as I had wonderful guides ( not belonging to Everlasting) that I felt very safe with. Unfortunately, they offered no apologies or explanation, and for that reason, I would not choose this company again.
It was still an experience of a lifetime!!
