EXCELLENT Based on 580 reviews Frederic C2025-11-20Verified great experience go eye to eye close We... had an exceptional 7-day family safari of 6 people. Nothing to say everything was perfect from the food to the lodge. The tenon guide who speaks French which explains very well. We've seen all the animals. Leo, giraffe, zebra, etc. Thanks again to this tour local operator. Trippor2025-11-12Verified Amazing! The tour was absolutely incredible! The first three days were with our guide Peter and chef Richard, and everyone in the group absolutely loved them. They make a fantastic duo — authentic, passionate, and truly exceptional at what they do. You can really tell they love their work, and that kind of charisma just can’t be replicated.I’ve done many tours around the world, but I’ve never felt such genuine nostalgia for a group as I do for this one.I also want to give a special mention to Geoffrey Samwel, who handled my airport transfers both ways. He’s a wonderful person and honestly should be leading safaris too — I found his explanations and local insights even more engaging than those of the guide on the last day (who was still very good, just not as detailed).Points for improvement:The Nyani Campsite really needs to be replaced with another option — it doesn’t meet basic conditions.The tour itinerary would be better if it ended with the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I did it the other way around, and while it was still great, the last two days didn’t feel as thrilling as the first ones.I’ll definitely be recommending your agency to all my friends and family!Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience! Martine S2025-11-11Verified Amazing Safari We’re so happy that we chose Serengeti African Tours. Our driver Peter was first to spot alot of the wild animals and had so much knowledge about them. He made the game drives and the campsites very fun. Our chef Richard made delicious food! Our group was fun to hang around with. All in all a 10/10 experience! Ines K2025-11-11Verified Breathtaking experience It was absolutely perfect. Our guide Peter was very dedicated and did his best to give us the best possible safari experience with many animal sightings. He knew the parks extremely well and was able to tell us a lot about them and the animals living there. In addition, he was very open-minded and had a great sense of humor. Our cook Richard made sure we were always well taken care of, providing a delicious selection at every meal.We are completely happy and very grateful for this experience. Kris L2025-11-07Verified 10/10 safari experience with Assad What an unforgettable experience! Every moment of the 4 day trip felt like we were living inside a National Geographic documentary. We started the trip in Tarangire, continued to Serengeti and wrapped up in Ngorongoro crater. Due to the different landscapes, each of the parks offers a completely unique experience. Seeing the animals in their natural habitat is extraordinary.The entire trip was made even better by our amazing guide Assad. He was kind, patient, funny, calm, extremely knowledgeable and great at finding different animals. He kept us engaged by sharing a lot of interesting information and fun facts about the parks, the landscape and the animals. If we ever come back, we would for sure pick Assad as our guide again! Another highlight of the trip was the amazing freshly cooked food. It was above our expectations. The tour operators were extremely helpful in arranging the trip and all airport transfers. They were extremely proactive, kind and responsive. Checking in every evening to make sure everything is going as planned and our experience was enjoyable. All in all a 10/10 experience. marjorie m2025-11-07Verified Amazing expérience ! Thanks to our guided Assad ! It was a really Nice trip !

Without him, the experience wouldn’t have been the same.Thank you for everything Andrea M2025-10-29Verified Trip of a LIfetime Our safari experience was amazing! Our tour guide, Peter Mmary, was knowledgeable, interesting, and entertaining. He was very experienced and successful in finding animals for us to see. He explained their habits, movements, and diets. He took us on one game drive in the evening and one in the early morning, which allowed us to see a lot of animal activity. Our chef, Dennis, prepared three delicious hot meals each day. I am gluten-free, and he always made sure that there was plenty for me to eat. Alexander J2025-10-23Verified Amazing!
