    Helló All, I'm not a big fan of giving review but it's a exceptional occasion cause I would like to tell how amazing was our safari. We travelled as a family of 11 people with 3 guide: Karasi, Fred and Haji. Each of them were so amazing!! We visited Serengetit, Ngorongo and Tarangire Parks together, the family included 3 generations, 4 kids were with us. Both of them have very good English and a lot of knowledge: how to drive safely, animals and their behavior and Tanzania culture and history. Each of them were fantastic guides! Thanks for Karasi the very detailed knowledge of the animals and the tribe cultural background. Thanks Fred for his bright positive spirit and sense of humour. The rides were fun a meaningful:he tought is important lessons about being in the presence and we share a amazing moment when an elephant walked behind our car and we saw a male lion just 2ms from the car. Thanks for Haji being so well prepared and joyful, he always had a great smiley for everyone!! I honestly recommend all 3 guide to you!! We leaved Tanzania with a thousand or more great photos and videos but with a lifetime experience!! The way of thinking, the spirit of the visited tribe Hadjabe, Datoga and Massai, the freedom itself. The words are not enough tó describe, come and see with your own eyes!!!
