Enjoy a half-day crater game drive, observing animals on the crater floor’s grasslands, lakes, and forested areas. Look out for hippos, hyenas, jackals, ostriches, and more.

  • An Unforgettable 10-Day Adventure with Usaka Travels

    279vijayc,,Dec 31, 2025

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    We had an incredible experience with Usaka Travels, spending a total of 10 days with David and his wonderful team, including a Mt. Meru hike and a 5-day private safari. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and genuine warmth. Mt. Meru Hike: The entire hiking crew was exceptional. The guides, ranger, porters, and cook were all incredibly supportive and encouraging throughout the trek. Their teamwork and professionalism really stood out, and they made sure our whole family felt safe, motivated, and well cared for every step of the way. A special mention to the porters and cook—true unsung heroes who made the hike comfortable and enjoyable. 5-Day Safari Experience: We did a private 5-day safari covering Tarangire, Serengeti (2 days), Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. The itinerary was very well planned, and the accommodations at Siafu Lodge and Kenzen Lodge were excellent—comfortable, clean, and relaxing after long game drives. The food was consistently great, which was especially appreciated since we are vegetarians. David and our safari guide/driver Douglas were phenomenal. Game drives can always be a bit hit or miss, but both guides were extremely patient and went out of their way to ensure our safari was enjoyable and memorable. They made every possible effort to help us spot all the animals and truly cared about our experience. Overall: The private safari was absolutely worth it, and spending so many days with the Usaka team felt like traveling with trusted friends rather than a tour company. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and heartfelt experience in Tanzania—whether hiking, safari, or both—I highly recommend Usaka Travels.

    My safari in Tanzania was truly incredible. The landscapes were stunning, the wildlife unforgettable and everything was perfectly organised. We saw elephants, lions, giraffes and many other animals up close — an absolutely magical experience. The lodges were comfortable and immersed in nature, making the whole trip even more special. I highly recommend this safari: it was beautiful from start to finish.
