- 3 Day Serengeti Unforgettable Safari
We have had a truly magical safari in Ngorongoro and Serengeti! Ibrahim arranged a varied and exciting trip route and accommodated to all our needs in the planning. Moses was the perfect safari guide and driver. His knowledge was impressive and he had an amazing ability to find all the animals we dreamed to see. We felt fully safe throughout the whole trip, and his warmth and humour added to the great atmosphere. Oculi drove one of us safely and skillfully through the whole night to join the rest of the group. Deepest thanks to all three of you for a once in a lifetime experience!!
- 5 Days Affordable Annual Wildebeest Migration
We modified the itinerary to have additional days in the Serengeti and Bernard was very helpful in organising the new itinerary. They were quick to reply and made sure we had everything we needed. Bernard kept in contact leading up to the tour and was very helpful with any questions. There was an included airport pick up and drop off in the tour. We had an included Arusha city tour the morning before we flew out. The campsites in the Serengeti are very basic and not necessarily well maintained but the tents and camping equipment provided by the company were good. Free WiFi was also provided on the tour. Our driver Richard from Mashindiko tours was amazing! He did everything he could to ensure we saw as much as possible. He really made the tour one to remember!
