We loved our 2 days at Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Jonas was pontual, very kind, and an amazing guide! Our family had an amazing time!

Wonderful Safari Experience
Our experience with Professional Safaris Africa was exceptional. We loved our game drives with our guide Innocent. Innocent not only knew the best places to view the wild game, he was also incredibly knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the Serengeti region. We loved seeing lions with cubs, leopard, cheetah and the amazing wildebeest and zebra migration. Elephants and giraffes and of course the ever present different antelope species. Innocent was able to name all the different birds, flowers and trees that we saw in the region and kept us entertained despite the bumpy terrain we experienced. The lodges we stayed at on our safari were very comfortable and provided a romantic backdrop for our all round experience. We always felt thrilled but safe with the animals we encountered.

They deserve trust
I booked the safari from Italy not knowing the company and trusting the reviews, I had the specific need to leave from a distant and uncomfortable place at 7 in the morning. Having booked only using the web, I was worried and instead they proved to be very serious people and I found them as agreed. The pilot was nice, good and prepared.

2 day safari was amazing
We did a 2 day safari and it was amazing! We had said it was our anniversary which they organised a meal for us at the accommodation and our fabulous guide Jonas gave us a present too. Jonas was brilliant in trying to get us to see as many animals as possible we seen the big 5 plus many more! He was very knowledgable about the animals and was all around super kind.
