We loved our safari with Sereland! Our guides, Omari and Ezekiel, were so friendly and were good at spotting wildlife. We had amazing lunches in beautiful surroundings😍 We were a group of four girls and did a four day safari. We also got to see the big five! Definitely recommend!

An unforgettable experience
We were a group of four friends on a four-day safari. We spent two days in the Serengeti and one in Ngorongoro. We saw a wide variety of animals and were incredibly lucky with the weather. Our guides, Omari and Ezekiel, were excellent at both spotting wildlife and sharing their knowledge. The lodges arranged by the company were also fantastic.

Fabuloues
I had an absolutely incredible safari experience – truly unforgettable! It’s something I would highly recommend to friends and family. Seeing all the animals up close felt almost unreal and was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The stay itself was also fantastic. The accommodation with Sereland Africa exceeded all expectations, with beautiful tents that made the experience both comfortable and unique. Ending the trip at a lovely hotel was the perfect way to wrap up an already amazing journey. Overall, everything about this safari was exceptional, and I couldn’t recommend it more!
Mari · Norway
The best experience I have ever had!
This is the best experience I have ever had! We got to see all the big 5, and lots of other animals. Our guide Omari was amazing! He explained it all so well and clearly knew what he was talking about. We also had a junior guide joining us and he did a really good job as well (think his name was Ezekiel). We were driving pretty much alone al the time, just a few more cars close to the animals we were seeing. We stayed for 4 days and we have seen so much everyday! Really good atmosphere and just loved everything about it! And the food was really good!
