Lameck is an excellent communicator and good with the kids.

Lameck made sure we experienced just about every kind of animal that lives in the parks, from ostriches, to mongoose, to lions. He also helped everyone understand the biology of flight and other interesting scientific information.

Safari

Everything is perfectly organized and interesting. We managed to see many inhabitants of Tarangire National Park. Special thanks to Calvin for his courtesy and attention to wishes. The group I was in was pleased with the trip. I recommend.

Punctual, high-quality and interesting!!!

Punctual, high-quality and interesting!!! They picked us up exactly to the minute. On the way to the safari we stopped at the office, where in addition to the payment we were given some nice gifts. I really liked the safari itself, lots of animals. Almost all of the big five, except for the rhino! To see more, I recommend taking at least a two-day tour. We simply didn't have time for this because we were going to Kili. There was also a great lunch and then some more safari. And all this for relatively little money.

With Best Price tours we went for 1 day to Tarangire National Park from Moshi. I want to say a big thank you to our team! We saw lions, elephants, buffaloes, a leopard, from afar, zebras, several species of antelopes, giraffes, monkeys, birds. The park is mostly bush, but in September the grass was scorched and the bush was clearly visible. I will note a few points: 1. Kelvin answered very quickly, was always on connect. 2. We were picked up from the hotel on the minute. 3. The price included various snacks, cola and lunch (chicken, egg, juice, cupcake ...). 4. Before the safari, Kelvin asked if we were vegetarians in order to cook lunch. 5. The guide and driver were friendly and positive. 6. The safari was only for our team, no another people in the car. 7. Good clear organization. 8. Pleasant and useful gifts from Kelvin. 9. Really the best price, we looked at other offers, but Kelvin offered a better one. We didn't need champagne for lunch, as for companies whose price was 2 times higher. And the rest was the same as the others. 10. We were picked up and brought back to Moshi and this transfer was free. Although I know that many people pick up for free only from Arusha, and from Moshi to Arusha it is still 2.5 hours. The trip exceeded our expectations. I recommend riding with Kelvin!
