The itinerary was perfectly arranged.
The driver was very responsible and worked hard to help us find the animals, leaving us with no regrets and allowing us to see many wild animals. The accommodations were beautiful, the itinerary was perfectly arranged, and we wanted to stay longer. He's a trustworthy driver. There were no hidden costs; we'll definitely come back next time.

Excellent experience
In December 2025, we had a wonderful, tailor-made safari experience, visiting three national parks: Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. Each of the three different locations offered a unique experience. We also managed to spot the Big Five. The organization was quick and smooth, and the accommodation (Eileen's Trees Inn) was clean and nice. Champion is an excellent tour guide, showing us many interesting things, and he is friendly and speak English well.
