    We had an unforgettable 7-day fly-in safari and Great Migration experience with Serengeti Wildlife Safaris, and everything exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the trip felt truly luxurious and well organized. Flying between parks saved time and gave us more moments to enjoy the wildlife. The accommodations were high-end, comfortable, and perfectly located waking up to the sounds of nature was magical. The Great Migration was the highlight of our journey. We were lucky to witness incredible wildlife action, and our guide made sure we were always in the right place at the right time. His knowledge, professionalism, and care made the safari even more special. Special thanks to John and the entire Serengeti Wildlife Safaris team for their excellent planning, personal attention, and warm hospitality. Every detail was handled smoothly, and we felt well taken care of throughout the trip. We truly enjoyed every moment and highly recommend Serengeti Wildlife Safaris to anyone looking for a luxury safari experience in Tanzania. We would happily book with them again!

    A Once-in-a-Lifetime Luxury Safari & Mount Kilimanjaro Adventure Our 7-day luxury safari followed by an 8-day Mount Kilimanjaro climb with Serengeti Wildlife Safaris was truly an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Everything was perfectly planned and beautifully executed from beginning to end. The 7-day luxury safari was nothing short of spectacular. We stayed at world-class accommodations, including the Four Seasons, and explored iconic destinations such as Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. Every location offered breathtaking scenery, incredible wildlife sightings, and some of the best views imaginable. The comfort, elegance, and attention to detail throughout the safari made it feel truly exclusive and luxurious. Our safari guide, Novatus, was absolutely amazing. His deep knowledge of wildlife, sharp eye for spotting animals, and friendly, professional personality elevated the entire safari experience. Thanks to him, we saw incredible wildlife up close and learned so much along the way. He truly made the safari unforgettable. The Mount Kilimanjaro climb was equally outstanding. The guides were professional, supportive, and highly experienced, always prioritizing safety and our well-being. The entire mountain team guides, porters, and camp staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The food, camp setup, and overall care on the mountain were exceptional, delivering true luxury even at high altitude. A special thank you to John, the owner, whose leadership and personal involvement made a real difference. His attention to detail, organization, and genuine care for guests gave us complete confidence throughout the journey. Serengeti Wildlife Safaris offers the perfect combination of luxury, adventure, professionalism, and authentic Tanzanian hospitality.

    Our 7 days luxury safari in Tanzania with Serengeti Wildlife Safaris was absolutely amazing and truly unforgettable. From the beginning to the end, the itinerary was perfectly organized, smooth, and exceeded all our expectations. Flying to the Serengeti National Park was a highlight, offering breathtaking aerial views and saving time while adding comfort and luxury. We enjoyed overnight stays at world-class luxury lodges including Four Seasons Serengeti, Meliá Ngorongoro, and Meliá Arusha. Each lodge provided exceptional service, luxury accommodation, delicious cuisine, and stunning views of Tanzania’s natural beauty and wildlife. The luxury safari game drives were outstanding. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife, including the Big Five, and experienced unforgettable moments in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, both of which are iconic safari destinations. Our professional safari guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and ensured we had the best wildlife viewing experience possible. The Ngorongoro Crater safari was breathtaking, with incredible landscapes and abundant wildlife. Every detail of this fly-in luxury safari was handled with care, making the journey comfortable, relaxing, and truly special. I highly recommend Serengeti Wildlife Safaris to anyone looking for a luxury Tanzania safari, excellent service, and once-in-a-lifetime wildlife experiences. This was the perfect combination of adventure, comfort, and luxury.

    As 2023 began, I had a goal of climbing Mt.Kilimanjaro. I'm glad that I undertook the seven day's journey through Machame Route. Throughout the journey, I enjoyed the company of the guards who helped us carry the luggage, cooked for us and even explained what each stop of the journey meant. I'm glad to have been on the most high part of Africa. It's magical..it's beautiful and its a magnificent place, full of awe and wonder!!
