Don’t look for another safari operator - I made a 5 days Tanzania safari with Serengeti African Tours and my whole experience could be described with one word - awesome!!! From the first contact with Antonia at the head office to the final drop off - everything was perfectly arranged. We visited with a group of 13 pax Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro. Our guides were Asad & Ali, thank you guys, you are great and the best safari guides! During the safari we made the Big 5 and I can’t describe our emotions. During the safaris we had delicious picnic lunches (not lunch boxes) and that made our experience more unforgettable. Concerning the camps and the lodges - great choice from Antonia. We used Suricata Boma Lodge and Serengeti Misako Camp, that are really great (I made separate review of the lodges). So, once again thank you that you are creating memories!

Big Five spotted - Our 5-day safari in Tanzania was absolutely incredible, and the highlight was our amazing guide, Adrian. His knowledge of wildlife, humor, sharp eye for spotting animals, and perfect timing led to unforgettable sightings every day. Adrian was professional, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what he does, which made the entire experience even more special. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible safari, and by the end of the trip he felt like a friend. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide — highly recommend asking for Adrian!

Exceptional Safari Experience! - Excellent services (hotels, meals & amenities). Our tour guides, Kelvin and Dickson were knowledgeable, punctual and very professional! Our family felt safe throughout the trip! They were also flexible to modify the schedule and adjust to our needs whenever asked! I highly recommend Serengeti Africa Tours and Kelvin and Dickson!

Great experience, amazing memories - Premise: we booked the tour with another company which partner with this one that provided part of the services. We did a 5 days- 4 night group safari including Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We had an amazing experience. Our driver and guide Adrian made sure we had the most fun and took us to the best places to spot the animals. Peak of our experience were the lion cubs, a cheetah mum with their cubs and the hippo waterhole. Unfortunately we missed out on the rhino but this only means we will have to find time for another safari in the future. Pascal the chef made sure we had great lunches everyday, combining different ingredients to offer us always the best meals (we even had pizza in the middle of the savannah)! Throughout the journey we felt really good taken care of and would love to once again thank the company for the great service and the eternal memories.

Incredible trip from start to finish - We went at the start of July 2025 on a 5 night safari trip as a couple. Everything went smoothly and the people involved were fantastic all the way through (along with all the animals). A lot of credit to Linah, who liaised via WhatsApp ahead of the trip and with responding to the queries we had. This approach made the whole organisation much simpler and once we arrived at Kilimanjaro airport everything was taken care of. She also helped with organising a separate taxi we needed on the final day. David our guide & driver for the first five days was brilliant. He brought lot of charisma and was really professional with the facts he could bring. He clearly got on very well with other operators via the radio (really important for knowing where animals have been) and a lot of credit to this for enabling us to see so many animals, especially lions, leopards and cheetahs. This is really vital when you start to appreciate how large these landscapes can be. I was really impressed by his motivation to make it the best experience for us through persevering to find animals and then his own experience really helped too (e.g. knowing that the leopard, which had gone into hiding due to the number of vehicles, would reappear if we left first thing the next morning to revisit the tree which had its prey - first vehicle there and probably the best memory of the trip). Also a really friendly guy with great music taste for those long rides. Michael was our guide & driver for the last day and he was similarly professional and able to really give detail on a lot of the species we saw at Lake Manyara park. Credit to him also for finding us a leopard there and close encounters with elephants! He was similarly easy going and a very good driver to have. The car you drive in is spacious and I can’t lie it is great having a cooler - very fun to have a beer while watching lions go right by. All the places we stayed were lovely, with the food much better than we’d expected (lots of well spiced options). The accommodation, Land of Nature, in the Seregenti was our favourite as you could hear the lions roar at night, but all of them had very good rooms and really accommodating staff. All with good clean beds, ventilation and really nice bathrooms. All in all can’t recommend this operator highly enough. The trip we’ll remember forever and a large credit goes to the organisation of the company and experience of the drivers.

Dream safari - We had an amazing safari experience with Oscar. He was so funny and made sure we always felt safe and taken care of. We saw the Big 5 and so much more — every day was incredible. The lodging was beautiful, and the value was absolutely worth it. Oscar truly went above and beyond to give us the best trip. We would definitely use him and this company again. It was an unforgettable adventure and we’re so grateful for everything he did for us.

Trio of a lifetime. - I had a great experience with Serengeti Africa Tours. From the moment I booked the safari six months in advance, communication with the company was smooth and professional. Lucas, the owner, was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. The safari itself was well-organized and we were lucky to see all the animals we hoped for. The food during the trip was also very good and delicious — the chef did a fantastic job! Overall, it was a solid and enjoyable trip — highly recommended.
