    Our recent safari tour of Ngorongoro and Serengeti withserengeti african tourw was simply unforgettable. From the moment we were picked up in Arusha, everything was seamlessly organized and professionally handled. Our guide, Godfrey, was incredibly knowledgeable, spotting wildlife we would have easily missed and sharing fascinating insights about the ecosystem and animal behavior. The Ngorongoro Crater was an absolute marvel, teeming with a variety of animals in a relatively small area, offering incredible photographic opportunities. The vast plains of the Serengeti were equally breathtaking, and witnessing the sheer scale of the wildlife there was truly awe-inspiring. The accommodations provided were comfortable and well-located, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the safari experience. Serengeti African tours truly delivered on their promise of an exceptional wildlife adventure. We were impressed by their attention to detail, the quality of their vehicles, and the expertise of their staff. This tour exceeded our expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend Serengeti African tours to anyone dreaming of an authentic and remarkable Tanzanian safari.

    I'll start by saying that my rating is a 10+!.. Serengeti African Tours exceeded my expectations. I began to plan. my trip about 6 months in advance and after much research I settled on Serengeti African Tour. The communication and support that my trip planner, Inviolate provided was like nothing I'd experienced. It seem no matter at what time of day I sent an inquiry she responded. I even had to make some changes in itinerary along the way and I was accommodated without any issues. Upon arrival the driver was on time, and it was a late evening arrival, to Inviolate personally meeting me for the ride to my hotel. The rest of the safaris and experiences followed the same. My guide was Calvin who was very knowledgeable of the parks and ensured that I had the opportunity to photograph all of the sightings exactly as I had planned. The accommodations, I chose a budget friendly, were outstanding. Comfortable, hot water always, comfortable bedding, EXCELLENT food and plenty of it... there was not one moment where I could point out for improvement. I was saddened to leave behind not only such a great country, landscapes, and sightings, but very peaceful, accommodating, and friendly people. I'm already planning a return trip with my family.
