Serengeti National Park
You'll wake early for a sunrise game drive on the Serengeti, which offers you the best opportunity to see predators in action. You'll also have the chance to see a stunning Serengeti sunrise as the rising sun seems to set fire to the savannah. After a late breakfast, it's time to head to Ngorongoro. The drive is a game drive all of its own, and your driver will do his best to ensure you spot the Big Five, wildebeest migration, or whatever else your heart might desire along the way. Maasai boma visit: Pay a visit to one of the famous Maasai bomas, where you'll have the opportunity to witness (and participate in) traditional Maasai dance, tour an authentic Maasai village, and even do a little souvenir shopping at the local market.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area
After breakfast, you'll depart for Ngorongoro Crater, considered by some to be the Eighth Wonder of the World. You will get your first glimpse of this vast, verdant caldera from the panoramic viewpoint. Home to over 120 species of mammals including the fabled Big Five, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is one of the most sought-after safari destinations in the world. It's a particularly good place to see the endangered black rhinoceros enjoying a lonely meal out on the grass plains, as well as a place to see large numbers of hippopotami enjoying the cool water. From the comfort of your open-top vehicle, you'll be able to observe and photograph some of Africa's most recognizable faces. The crater is home to a large number of predators including lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, and hyenas, as well as a large population of wildebeests, zebras, antelopes, cape buffalos, and more. You will have a picnic lunch by the park's famous hippo pool before returning to Arusha Aiport.

5.00First time safari, for us a French Chilean couple from UK, we had chance to get this experience with Serengueti African tours via Swahili Safari escape booking. And all was 5⭐️ thanks to the team and coordination with all involved . If you are looking for the ultimate safari experience in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, look no further than Safari African Tours. This wasn't just a trip; it was a life-changing adventure where we felt like lucky from start to finish. We had the chance to have a very competent , nice and incredible team through the trip. • Peter: A massive thank you to Peter, who coordinated everything with such professionalism and heart. He made sure every detail was perfect and that we felt welcomed from the moment we inquired. • Our journey started seamlessly thanks to Rama. He was punctual, friendly, and made the transfers smooth and stress-free. He’s the first friendly face you want to see when arriving in Tanzania! • Denis , chef for the trip food, Denis managed to prepare such great, and fresh meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner for all the passengers. Our guide was world-class—not only incredibly knowledgeable about the "Big Five" and the local ecosystem but also a fantastic listener. They tailored the drives to our interests, ensuring we never felt rushed and always had the best angle for photos. Whether it was watching a lion pride at dawn or overlooking the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, the expertise provided was top-tier. The Highlights: • Kindness: The team treated us like family, not just customers. • Expertise: Deep knowledge of animal behavior and secret spotting locations. If you want a soulful, delicious, and wild adventure led by people who genuinely care, book with Peter and the crew at Safari African Tours.
Would definitely recommend!

5.00We did the 3 day safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater and it was absolutely incredible! The Serengeti felt like we were in the Lion King. There was only 2 of us so we joined a group who all were great fun. Our guide Dickson was fantastic and very knowledgeable. The food was also great thanks to our chef Dennis. Would definitely recommend using Serengeti African Tours- a great price for this incredible experience.

5.00The communication by email in the run-up to the tour was very pleasant and extremely professional. We were offered a tour that was perfectly tailored to our needs. We flew into the Serengeti from Zanzibar and were picked up at the landing field by the guide David. We immediately went on the first game drive. Afterwards to the very decent accommodation with good food. The next day started early with a safari that lasted into the afternoon and took us to Ngorongoro. Here we had a well-organised overnight stay in a tent. Then another early start to the safari in the crater and from there to Arusha airport for the flight back to Zanzibar. You can see that everything was well organised. We saw a lot of animals and didn't have to book parts of the programme that we didn't actually want (such as a visit to a Maasai village). The guide was very well informed and catered to our wishes. He was always punctual and made sure that we were able to make the most of our time. The food was also consistently excellent and we were well supplied with cool drinks. At the end, Linah from the administration came to talk to us directly about our experiences and possible points of criticism for the purpose of improvement. We also found this very pleasant and very professional, although we had nothing to criticise. In retrospect, we can say that we received a programme that was specially tailored to our needs and was also very reasonably priced compared to other providers. So all in all, a very clear recommendation for this provider.

5.00Did we have high expectations? Yes! Were they fulfilled? Yes, by far, they were surpassed!! We were so lucky with our guide, David, not only was he friendly, informative and fun, he was also very knowledgeable and shared a wealth of information about all the animals we saw and a lot more. In addition to that, David was amazing at finding and spotting the animals for us! I would also like to give a big shoutout to Linah for her great help in planning every detail of our safari. Linah has been very attentive to all our requests (including a family member with a severe allergy, which was source of worry to me, but very well managed and informed to every lodge and chef along the way) and always very patiently answering all my questions. We wholeheartedly recommend Serengeti African Safari.
Best safari ever

5.00We booked a 3 day private tour of the sergenti and ngorongoro crater and it was the most unforgettable experience! Flying in from Zanzibar directly into the serengeti, spotting animals from the plane is a rruly unique experience. Our guide Christian, or as we called him Lucky Christian, was very friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly made sure we saw all of the big 5 in just 3 days! The whole team really took care of us from ensuring all of the bookings were sorted with ease and everything ran smoothly. The accommodation and food provided was 10/10.
Best company for Tanzania Safari

5.00Wow just amazing!! Our itinerary ZNZ > ARUSHA> Serengeti/Drove from Serengeti to The Crater/ Drove from the Crater to Arusha and flew back to ZNZ Serengeti African Tours was more than just safari. Not only did we see all the big five but we saw all of the wonderful big cats in the park including a pile of cheetah brothers! Long story short, best company in the game. My husband booked it for our honeymoon. Serafina was the nicest and most communicative contact for booking and travel arrangements. They allowed us to do 40% down and the rest upon arrival. We flew into Arusha and then to Serengeti where the best and funniest guide Christian picked us up promptly with a hot lunch. They even put a special sign on the spare tire just for our honeymoon. We left the gate and immediately saw some game. One the first day Christian was able to locate four of the big five for us. He was so nice and informative. He made the long hours in the truck pass like minutes. For dinner they took us to the Serena Lodge in Serengeti where we were greeted with superb service and comfort and more great food. The views were absolutely breathtaking. We the embarked on day 2 with Christian ready to go bright and early to scope some more game and then head to Ngoro Ngroro Crater. Along the way Christian let us know about the environment and the beautiful local Maasai Tribe. We checked into the Serena lodge there and once again treated superbly. It’s cold so bring layers. In the crater we saw the rhinos. We even got to see a mama and a calf. Christian made sure we didn’t miss them. He even offered to take our pictures and made sure we weren’t always behind the camera. I knew they were the best at what they do, when Precision Air delayed one of flights and we were worried about our connecting flight out of Arusha. Immediately Serafina worked her magic and got us on an earlier flight to compensate for the delay. We truly felt like family. I can’t wait to recommend them to all my friends and come back when my boys are old enough.
