The fabulous African Safari Tour in Northern Tanzania - it was an African safari that included my wife and I and another couple (our friends). We started in Arusha city, went to Seronera, Ngorongoro Crater, Olduvai Gorge, Serengeti, and then ended in Mwanza city. It was a very wonderful experience. My wife and I and our two grown sons did almost a very similar safari tour in June 2019 by the same company and we also experienced the same excellent/superior service. From hotel choices, services in the tour vehicle, meals, etc., it was fabulous

Remarkable Lifetime Safari Experience! - I had an unforgettable safari with Lameck's team. The tailored made itinerary for me as solo woman traveller, quick and easy communication and well controlled within my budget with quality accommodations! My driver Samson was a great guide and he knows everything about wildlife and parks, within five days I was lucky to see all the big five up close. I would definitely recommend African Diurnal Safaris to anyone looking for remarkable lifetime safari experience.

The perfect honeymoon in Tanzania - For our honeymoon we decided to do a 7 days safari in Tanzania but we couldn't imagine how amazing this experience could be. The way African Diurnal Safaris organizes the safari is simply perfect. All the selected accommodations are super comfortable and with a really good food. The vehicle was comfortable with AC, plenty of water into the fridge as well as soft drinks. But what made the safari unforgettable was our guide, Elisante. He speaks French as a native. His knowledge about animals and plants is really impressive! With him we also learnt everything about the Tanzanian and Maasai's cultures and a little bit of Swahili but specially we learnt with him about the life in general. We will never forget him, and this trip was unforgettable experience with ADS.

Ultimate safari experience from Mwanza to Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Natron & Tarangire. - Our guide Lameck and who is the tour consultant, provided us with excellent service from the beginning when we requested an itinerary from this company, the arrangement was professional and he agreed our request to join us on the safari to be our guide. He was attentive to all our needs. Very experienced at locating the right spot for watching all the game, answering all our questions and provided an experience of a lifetime. Our accommodations and meals were excellent and different everyday which made a huge difference on an 8 days safaris. I highly recommend African Diurnal Safaris to everyone looking for Tanzania safari but most importantly I suggest you request Lameck to join you as your guide through the national parks and beyond. Thanks you very much, I will be using your services again on the future!!

Unforgettable Tanzania honeymoon safari with the best company, African Diurnal Safaris - The Safari was amazing! We did the 5 day safari from Mwanza to Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara. It was my honeymoon and they made it perfect. Lameck was our driver and who is the director of the company and we felt more safe to be with him, he was great! Very nice and friendly. He showed us all the big fives and other animals. He asked the animals that we wanted to see and did everything to show us. The best game driver!! The lunch was good, a soup, food and fruits. There are water ,water and soft drinks was full stocked in the vehicle fridge. You can bring some snacks to eat while enjoying your game viewing..! The selection of the accommodations was great, we have good time at Shuhudia Adventure Camp, Rhino lodge, Hhando coffee lodge and Green mountain lodge in Arusha, all was amazing. Amazing rooms, facilities and food. We highly recommend African Diurnal Safaris to anyone looking for Tanzania honeymoon safari from Mwanza one-way to Arusha town, which is the good idea at all. Asante sana ❤

Professional staffs, well knowledgeable, always on time, good service and comfortable vehicles. - We had a 5 day safari from Arusha visiting Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti straight to Mwanza then we proceeded with 4 day in Zanzibar. Being our first safari, we were really impressed with the experience and quite enjoyed it. Our accommodation was more than we expected. The professional staff combined with the peacefulness and quietness of the place gave us the perfect spot to rest between our safari trips. It was very clean and we enjoyed all the facilities they have provided for us. Everyone also enjoyed the food and staff too, we thanks people from Mbalageti Safari Lodge, Shuhudia adventure Camp and Hhando Coffee Lodge, for making our stay there as comfortable as possible. Lameck, worked with us on getting all the tickets and accommodations sorted. Our guide, Emily helped us in planning our days better, so that we can enjoy each place at its fullest during our trip. Also he has continuously given us interesting information about each place we visited, He was always very friendly, communicative and respectful. Also when we proceeded with Zanzibar our guide was really pleasant and we had a great time with Bakar, who came to pick us up to the airport at arrival and at the end of our incredible trip. Very nice and smiling guide,too! We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a lifetime experience in Tanzania and Zanzibar. We would definitely repeat the experience and have Emily and Bakar as our guides!! Thanks very much..!!
