The trip to Serengeti and the experience was simply breathtaking. The company was quite organized. The tour guide from Zara adventures, Xamo was phenomenal. This small in stature but giant of a man in terms of personality, clearly has a wealth of experience to be able to find the animals miraculously in their natural habitat on the various trips. This is essential on a safari excursion as this is the experience one truly wants. Aside from one of the hotels lacking proper internet which isn't a retraction from this review since the daytime is mostly at different sites, the experience is highly recommended. If Serengeti is on your bucket list, use these guys to make your dream come to life.Show more

We really enjoyed our safari. Our guide Alex was very nice and friendly and made the experience even better. We were able to see a lot of animals very closely and huge amount of lions. We saw all big five, as well as cheetahs and leopards that are not that easy to find. We really loved the Serengeti safari lounge accomodation that felt pretty luxurious while the rest of the accomodations were more simple but all clean and nice. We can also recommend taking the hot air balloon as its another once in a lifetime experience to see the safari and animals from above. From the tour locations, Serengeti was obviously the highlight but we also really enjoyed the Ngorogoro crater (only place to spot the rhinos) and Tarangine national park that was a good introduction before Serengeti. Can definitely recommend the tour agency and the specific itinerary.Show more
