Amazing

Thanks to Safari Booking, we were able to find an incredible provider (See Endless Adventures) who organized an incredible 6-day trip to Tanzania (Safari + 1 day on Kilimanjaro). We have no words to describe the incredible adventure we experienced as a family, our two children, aged 5 and 8, and our friends and their children.

The national parks are magnificent, nature in its purest form and in all its splendor. We were able to observe all the animals we dreamed of (especially the Big 5!!) in a breathtaking setting, accompanied by extremely kind and incredibly professional professionals (guides, drivers, hotel staff).

We are avid travelers, but this trip truly left a lasting impression on us!

Ours was a 7 day guided tour by Meru Slopes. We added 2 more days to see the local life in Arusha and nearby tribal villages. It was well worth it. I would highly recommend adding a few days to see the local life and greenery.

Brilliant safari, highly recommended the guide couldn’t do enough to make the day memorable and we got to see the elephants in the water and the lions which is relatively rare. Wonderful tour.

We ordered a 4-day safari from Meru slopes Tours & Safaris, joint tour. It was a great experiences for us (a couple 60+). Everything was well organized. Even staying overnight in a tent. The scenery was great. We saw a lot of animals, even had luck and saw the big five. The guides were very good, they found and pointed us animals and could tell about them and about the culture. It was nice that the jeep was full and we learned to know several people. We give high value to the way how the guides took care of the nature and followed the rules. Tourism protects the rights of the wild animals (I think that otherwise people would have destroyed them).

We took part also to other tours, where we met local people, make coffee, enjoy the nature and visit rural areas. Very interesting and relaxing trip, so much to see. I would like to go again.

I want to finish with the powerful words of one guide who said about this: we do not have much money, but we have peace. We love peace.

What an amazing time we had in Tanzania on a safari for 6 days. Safari Bookings was so simple, but so perfect.
Our guide / driver was Shafino - Shafino the Great! he was absolutely brilliant on every part of our journey.

if you're looking at who to use for your safari - stop searching!

Priceless Experience!

amazing experience with Safari Bookings/Obag!

we did a 3 day, 2 night safari from Dar to Mikumi by train (including all transport - car and train, 2 nights hotel stay and all meals/snacks/drinks)

definitely recommend the train option (1 st class if possible) - make sure to leave early morning and return evening.

Johnson was a great guide - very punctual and caring/knowledgeable. Our safari driver was George and he was fearless! best day ever seeing giraffes, zebras, elephants, lions, crocodiles, hippos, buffalos and so much more!!

if it mentions all included, do not pay extra. only pay extra for tips :) everything else is included and you may need to remind them :)

An incredible experience with a few caveats

5 / 5 5 /5

I had never been particularly interested in visiting Tanzania, and the idea that safaris were quite expensive had always kept me from considering this option. However, when I started researching, I realized that it was possible to do a safari on a budget. I quickly understood that the price of safaris can rarely go much below €200 per day due to the cost of park entry fees. And here a controversial question arises: where does this money actually go?

It’s clear that the money paid for park entry fees gets 'lost' in the hands of the government, which fails to attract more tourism precisely because it doesn’t create better conditions outside the parks. It’s a shame to see that a country like Tanzania isn’t more developed, especially when tourists contribute so much through park entry fees.

A clear example… The minimum wage in Tanzania is less than €60, yet a foreign tourist or visitor staying at a camp inside Serengeti National Park during
Read more peak season pays around €150 per adult for every 24 hours.

Is it worth it? IT’S ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT! But at the same time, we understand that tourists are mainly helping the Tanzanian government get 'easy money,' because outside the parks, we see that nothing is being done to improve the quality of life.

When it comes to the tour agencies that organize these safaris, we encounter another 'system' designed to enrich the owners, while asking tourists to cover the salaries of the guide and support staff.

As a European, I’m not accustomed to tipping culture, and I don’t agree with it. If I pay for a safari, I expect to be paying for EVERYTHING… including a fair wage for the guide, the chef, and anyone assigned by the company to the safari. One day before starting the safari, we received
a document guide on the 'tip' we were expected to give at the end of the safari to our guide, cook, and other staff members.

According to the document, each person was expected to tip the guide $25 per day. Do you know the salary that the company I chose pays the guide? $25 per day! And this amount (the $25 that the company pays the guide) is the same whether it’s a low-budget safari or a luxury safari where tourists easily pay around €2000–€3000 per person for the experience. Is that fair? It doesn’t seem so to me.

That being said, I have to say that I loved the experience... but I wish Tanzania would start to understand that it needs to build a better infrastructure, and that starts with using the money that tourists leave in the country to improve the conditions within the country itself.

We went on a 6 day safari in October 2024. We visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Ngorongoro NP and lastly Lake Manyara.
The tour was organized perfectly by Safari 360 and according to our wishes. The entire safari and the lodges we visited exceeded all of our expectations.
We can highly recommend the tour and the tour provider.

best Safari we ever did with Topy Tours through Serengeti, Arusha, Ngorogoro and other parks. Icredible experience to sleep in a tent in the middle of Serengeti and watching Zebras next to our tent. All people, whom we met were very friendly and helpful, it was just amazing. The guide through the parks could answer all questions and we could see the BIG FIVE.
August was a good time to travel there as the weather was very nice, we had 25 to 29 degrees Celsius every day.
