Best tanzania safari and best tour operator in Tanzania - Our 2-day safari exploring Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater was an experience of a lifetime! From the very start, the team at Serengeti Wildlife Safaris made everything seamless. John, who handled our emails, was incredibly professional, quick to respond, and ensured all our questions were answered.
Our guide, Philimon, was outstanding! His knowledge of the wildlife, from the majestic elephants in Tarangire to the lions in Ngorongoro, was unmatched. He made sure we didn’t miss any key moments, whether it was spotting a herd of giraffes or watching a pride of lions in their natural habitat.
The accommodation at Suricata Boma Lodge added to the charm. It was cozy, well-maintained, and the staff were so welcoming. After a full day of adventure, relaxing under the stars at Suricata Boma was perfect.
We were amazed by the diversity of wildlife in these iconic parks. Tarangire’s baobab trees and massive herds of elephants left us in awe, while the Ngorongoro Crater was like stepping into a wildlife documentary—truly one of the most breathtaking places on Earth.
If you’re looking for a short but unforgettable safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend Serengeti Wildlife Safaris. Their team, including John and Philimon, went above and beyond to ensure our trip was perfect.

Excellent Safari with Serengeti Wildlife Safaris in Tanzania!! - Climbing Kilimanjaro with Serengeti Wildlife Safaris was a life-changing experience! From the start, I had my doubts and fears, but John Danford, our incredible guide, helped me conquer them. My uncle and I made a promise to reach the summit together, and Serengeti Wildlife Safaris made that dream possible. John’s knowledge and passion for Kilimanjaro truly stood out as he taught us about the forest’s lush landscapes, the breathtaking changes of the seasons, and so much more.
We took the Marangu route, and while the climb was challenging, the sense of achievement at the top of Africa was indescribable. I can’t recommend Serengeti Wildlife Safaris enough for anyone considering this adventure. Their support, expertise, and commitment to safety made all the difference. Thanks to John and the whole team for an unforgettable journey to the top!
Serengeti Wildlife Safaris took our Tanzanian adventure to a whole new level! After our successful Kilimanjaro summit with John Danford, we embarked on a safari journey we’ll never forget. Witnessing the vast Serengeti National Park in all its glory was like a dream come true—seeing lions, giraffes, elephants, and so many other wild animals in their natural habitat, which we’d only seen in zoos before, was breathtaking. Tarangire was a true gem, with incredible herds of elephants and zebras grazing right before our eyes.
- Ngorongoro Crater left us speechless. This massive volcanic caldera, teeming with wildlife, was awe-inspiring. I’ll never forget the look on my uncle's face, completely lost for words as he watched this unique ecosystem unfold before him. Huge thanks to Elia, our driver and guide, whose expertise and warm personality made every part of this safari memorable. He truly knows how to make every moment feel special!
For anyone considering a Tanzanian adventure, Serengeti Wildlife Safaris is the best company to book with. Their professionalism, knowledge, and passion for wildlife make them the ideal choice.

Serengeti Wildlife Safaris was absolutely perfect Safaris - Our journey with Serengeti Wildlife Safaris was absolutely perfect from start to finish! We booked a package that included a safari in the Serengeti, a Kilimanjaro day hike, and a relaxing stay in Zanzibar—and it turned out to be the adventure of a lifetime.
The trip started with a flight from Dar es Salaam to the Serengeti, where we spent several days immersed in the beauty of the national park. From breathtaking landscapes to spotting the Big Five, every moment of the safari was magical. The team did an outstanding job organizing the entire experience, with excellent accommodations and incredible service. The wildlife sightings were beyond what we imagined, and the stunning Serengeti sunsets were unforgettable.
After our Serengeti adventure, we traveled to Kilimanjaro for a thrilling day hike via the Marangu Route. Our guide, Amanyise, was exceptional—he was knowledgeable, supportive, and made sure we were fully prepared for the hike. The trek was challenging but immensely rewarding, with beautiful views through the rainforest up to the Mandara Huts. Amanyise’s expertise and encouragement made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable.
After conquering Kilimanjaro, we flew from Kilimanjaro Airport directly to Zanzibar, where we ended our trip with some well-deserved relaxation on the island’s pristine beaches. It was the perfect way to unwind after our Serengeti safari and Kilimanjaro hike, and the seamless transition between each part of our trip made everything effortless.
Throughout the entire journey, John was incredibly professional and responsive, handling all our inquiries and ensuring every detail of the trip was perfect. His attentiveness and organization truly made the difference in delivering an unforgettable experience.
If you’re looking for the ultimate Tanzania adventure, combining the Serengeti, Kilimanjaro, and Zanzibar, look no further than Serengeti Wildlife Safaris. John, Amanyise, and the entire team made this the best trip we’ve ever taken!
10/10 – Highly recommend!

Fantastic Experience! - I am extremely satisfied with this travel agency! Joshua took care of everything, ensuring all our preferences were met and arranging the accommodations we selected. The team was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout our journey. Our guide, Jackson, was outstanding; thanks to him, we spotted all the animals on our wish list. Even the driver who took us to Kilimanjaro Airport at the end of our safari was excellent, and we were treated to stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro along the way. I highly recommend this agency—truly, I have no complaints!

Super Safari Experience! - I can't recommend this safari enough! It was an incredible value for the experience we had. We were fortunate enough to see all of the Big Five, which was simply unforgettable. Our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate about the wildlife and environment.
The chef also deserves a shout-out; the meals were delicious and added to the overall experience. I highly suggest opting for the camping option if you're up for a bit of adventure. There's nothing quite like falling asleep to the sounds of wildlife just outside your tent! It made the whole trip feel even more immersive and exciting.
If you're considering a safari, this is the one to choose! You won't regret it!

Really Great service. - The tour to Mandara Hut through the rainforest was amazing. It’s a 900-meter climb, but the hike is relatively easy with gentle slopes. We booked this tour for our last day in Tanzania with Rupia Adventure because we had such a great experience with them on our 4-day Mt. Meru hike ten days earlier. We were so impressed with Rupia that we requested the same guide, Gidion, whom we had found to be an outstanding and friendly guide. The trip offered a wonderful taste of Kilimanjaro, with full-day service from Rupia and the best guide ever—truly a fantastic combination!

Fantastic safari Experience ever - This is the perfect day trip for anyone interested in exploring Kilimanjaro. Our guide, Emmanuel, from Serengeti Wildlife Safaris, picked us up promptly at 6:00 AM from our hotel. We drove through Moshi to the National Park gate, where we began our climb. At first, we were nervous about hiking at high elevation, but Emmanuel reassured us to take it "pole, pole" (slowly) and sip water regularly, and we quickly adapted to the altitude. The hike itself was moderate, with well-maintained trails. There were also well-equipped toilet facilities with running water, soap, and toilet paper every 1.5 hours!
We hiked up to the crater and back down, and it was a clear day with breathtaking views of Kenya and the Kilimanjaro summit from our vantage point. The scenery was stunning, with glacier streams, waterfalls, and a beautiful rainforest canopy shading most of the trail. We even spotted monkeys along the way! The entire hike took about 9 hours, including lunch, and I have to mention that Emmanuel carried our backpack the whole way and brought a delicious lunch, which we enjoyed at picnic tables at Mandara Hut. I can’t say enough about this amazing day hike!

An exceptional experience! - So glad we went! Our guides were thoughtful, pacing the hike to match the limitations of our group (some had bad knees) and were incredibly knowledgeable. They carried our food, water, and even one person’s day pack, ensuring we were comfortable and safe throughout the journey. This is not an easy stroll, but they made it manageable. Highly recommend this tour group! A huge shout-out to Kareem, our driver, who did an excellent job navigating the challenging market day traffic on the way back to Arusha.

A Flawless Experience from Start to Finish! - I had only a short time to visit Tanzania and wanted to experience a full day climbing the great Kilimanjaro. Serengeti Wildlife Safaris offered this trip, and Elly, my guide, made it perfect. From airport transfer, hotel arrangements, to the day hike and return, everything was well organized. They promptly answered all my questions and concerns via WhatsApp. The pickup at the airport and the ride to Kilimanjaro National Park the next morning were smooth and friendly. I even learned a few Swahili words and heard stories about the tribes and villages around Kilimanjaro.
The hike on the Marangu route through the rainforest to Mandara Hut was incredible, with unique flowers, vegetation, monkeys, and birds I had never seen before. Elly was experienced and knowledgeable, timing the hike perfectly, allowing me to go at my own pace, and even helping carry my backpack when things got tough near the end. We managed to return to the base just 15 minutes before the park closed.
I had a fantastic time hiking for a day in Kilimanjaro National Park, thanks to the excellent service and help from Serengeti Wildlife Safaris and Elly. Asante sana, rafiki yangu Elly!
