Memories for life!

Fantastic tour through Tanzania, which was put together by Mwanne in consultation with us. There were never too many questions and they were answered quickly and competently by her. After landing at Arusha Airport we met our guide and driver Malley, who drove us around and informed us the whole trip well and competently. He did more than his best to offer us an unforgettable trip. From a Cheetha with cubs, more than 200 lions with cubs and as a highlight the leopard with cubs in a tree with prey......Of course a lot of other animals, zebras, elephants, giraffe, wildebeests etc. But our favorite was the balloon ride over the Serengeti with the bush breakfast.... All in all an unforgettable trip !!!!!

Unforgettable 4-Day Serengeti Safari with Oldbeast Vacations!

We had the most incredible 4-day safari in the Serengeti this June, guided by the amazing John! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great eye for spotting wildlife. We stayed at Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge — stunning views, excellent service, and very comfortable tents. The absolute highlight was witnessing a lion hunt at sunrise — a breathtaking, once-in-a-lifetime experience! Every detail of the trip was seamless, and John made it truly memorable. Highly recommend!

Unforgettable Luxury Safari

Our luxury safari with Oldbeast Vacations was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we were picked up to the final drop-off, every detail was carefully arranged to provide comfort, excitement, and unforgettable memories. We visited both Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, and the experience was beyond anything we imagined. The wildlife sightings were incredible—lions, elephants, leopards, zebras, cheetahs, and even a black rhino in Ngorongoro! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He made every game drive informative and exciting, and he had a real passion for wildlife. The accommodations were truly luxury—beautiful lodges and tented camps with stunning views, gourmet meals, and exceptional service. After long days of game drives, coming back to a hot shower, comfortable bed, and a drink by the fire under the stars was simply magical. Oldbeast Vacations exceeded all expectations. They provided seamless service, great communication from the start, and personalized touches throughout the journey. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a high-end safari that combines adventure with true comfort.
