Unforgettable Safari in Tanzania We had the most magical journey with Wildlife Experience and created memories we’ll never forget. We went on a 4-day trip to Lake Manyara, Central Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater & Highlands – and we actually managed to spot the Big Five! There are countless tour operators in Tanzania, but these guys truly stand out. With over 20 years of experience, they are absolute professionals. Everything was spot on: the choice of lodges, the delicious food, the travel route, the seamless organization, and the comfortable car. They even took amazing care of my gluten-free diet, which I really appreciated. Our guide Steven was outstanding – not only a fantastic guide but also such a wonderful person, which made the whole trip extra special. He knows the Serengeti like the back of his hand and never once needed a map, even on the nearly 1,000 km we covered. His knowledge about wildlife, culture, and Tanzania in general was impressive. Most importantly, he always drove with great focus and care, so we felt 100% safe the entire time. His guiding was extremely professional, and it was clear that Steven did everything possible to make sure we saw the Big Five – which we did! A heartfelt thank you to Steven, Davies, and the whole Wildlife Experience team. We can wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone and will definitely be back!

Badly organized, not worth the money, unsafe. To maximise profit, the company pools cars with different other organizations, reschuffeling groups spontaneously. Half of the day is waiting for others, pick up, drop off etc. To catch up on time, the drive was often crazy fast. The car could have been in better shape. The accommodation was overly expensive for what it was. Not to mention that arrival was late/in the dark and departure very early - just to wait for others again. Overall, the worst safari experience I ever had. Can definitely not recommend to book with Wildlife Experience.
We organised a custom safari of 5 days to cover both safaris and cultural activities such as visiting a Maasai village, Arusha Declaration Museum and Maretuni village and waterfalls. Davies was so helpful in accommodating our wishes and all the places exceeded our expectations. Once we had finalised the trip it was easy to pay for. Our guide/driver Abdullah has 21 years experience and it showed. His knowledge is extensive and his kind gentle manner and great sense of humour made the trip more enjoyable. Our accommodation was varied from hotel near Arusha with swimming pool and massages to Serengeti camp where you could hear the lions at night and watch the sunrise over the plains in the morning. We saw so many animals up close and relaxed in their natural environment including lions, cheetahs, rhinos, elephants, hyenas, zebras, all the antelopes and a huge variety of birds including many birds of prey. This was a holiday of a lifetime and I would recommend to anyone.
From the moment we entered Tarangire to our final sunset in the Serengeti, the trip was magical. Damas, our guide, was friendly, professional, and had incredible knowledge about every animal we encountered. He made sure we had the best views and photo opportunities. It was a dream safari and we’re already planning to come back!
Overall we had an amazing time in Tanzania. Our guide Joseph was exceptional as a driver and guide. We visited 4 parks with him and in every place we would be wowed by the sights that we saw there. We saw lots of animals and by the end of the trip we had seen all the big 5 and many other animals. The wholesome experience of riding in a jeep and then explored the parks with a professional guide who would answer the questions we posed and also take us from one site to the next. He would contact other guides over radio to get locations of where the animals were. Hotel and lodges that we were booked in were good and of very high standard. We would spend the evenings relaxing over a bonfire or enjoying a sunset on the patio of our room. I highly recommend this tour
We saw a bit of everything in Tanzania during our recent tour to Tanzania with Wildlife Experience Tanzania. Our guide Festus was incredible and made the tour enjoyable and fun. We felt in safe hands whenever as he drove carefully and looked after us in the parks. He was very informative and knew the hot spots where we found numerous animals, particularly in the drives around Ndutu area of Serengeti/Ngorongoro. We also managed to squeeze a cultural visit to a Maasai village in Ngorongoro. The lodges were lovely places that offered great food and nice accommodation. most were located within the parks or close by. The only downside was that we needed more days for Serengeti. Two days are not sufficient to explore the expansive park as there is so much to see. Thank you all for a well organized trip. It was really wonderful
We had excellent game drives in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Brian our guide gave us the best times in Tanzania. He was helpful and friendly as he led us from one great wildlife scene to the next. Our wishes were to see the wildebeest migration and true to his word Brian took us right to the middle of these enormous herds where lions also roamed. We even managed to see a couple hunts from a cheetah and a fight between lions and hyenas over a buffalo kill. The drives through the parks still linger in mind the places are so beautiful. I must confess that Ngorongoro Crater stole my heart. Descending the crater walls ushered us to a world that is so beautiful that is beyond any description, you have to see it to appreciate the amazing splendor. We cam to learn that Wildlife Experience Tanzania is synonymous with excellence and top class service. Everything was well planned and executed with finesse. Even the lodgings were the best! It was truly exceptional and I highly recommend the experience.
All my expectations were blown to bits by the awesome experience on our safari. Everything was exceptionally good and our only complaint is that the trip ended too fast. We wished to have spent more time in Serengeti where the sights and sounds were incredible. Our guide Benson was pleasant and treated us to spectacular game drives. He spared no effort to keep to get us the best views and memorable experiences. The memory of thousands of wildebeest in the vast grassland is still fresh in my mind. We also saw more than 50 lions, lots of elephants, baboons, buffaloes and many other different animal species. The parks were so beautiful and luckily the traffic was quite low. All the lodges and hotel were excellent. They all had great food and safe bottled water pretty clean. Thank you Wildlife Experience Tanzania and all the people we met in Tanzania. They all played a huge part in creating unforgettable memories.
This 4 days safari was highly polished from top to bottom! Everything about it was first class. It was worth every penny as we got to see amazing landscapes of Trangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with an incredible guide- Musa and also stay in fabulous properties that one would not expect to get in the middle of jungle. Musa was incredibly knowledgeable and freely shared his insights about Tanzania, conservation and culture. We particluarly loved the Serengeti biosphere with thousands of wildebeest, zebras and antelopes grazing on their journey towards Ndutu for the calving season. They were followed by numerous lion prides, hyenas, cheetahs, vultures and other carnivores that are sustained by the huge herds. I truly appreciate all the work that Damas put in to make this trip flawless and memorable. Hakuna Matata and see you soon
I do not know where to begin because there are so many wonderful things to say about our 4 days safari with guide Malisa of through Tanzania. He has been with Wildlife Experience Tanzania for a long time and is so knowledgeable about the animals, the parks and everything there is to know about Tanzania. He led us to many beautiful wildlife encounters and was patient to let us enjoy the views for as long as we wanted. We found him to be considerate as he took our suggestions and made us feel wanted at all times. The vehicle was a comfortable 4x4 Toyota Landcruiser that cruised through the muddy park trails with ease. We enjoyed the outdoor camping arrangement immensely. The tent was spacious and the facilities at the campsites nice. There were little traffic at this time of the year so we basically had the campsites to ourselves. We have done safaris to a couple of other African countries and I can confidently say that this experience was the most remarkable in terms of wildlife views and quality of the overall experience.
We celebrated the new years in Tanzania with Wildlife Experience Tanzania. The trip was exceptional from the perfect planning and scheduling by Damas coupled by the outstanding guiding by Hamisi our driver and guide throughout the trip. We started off exploring Tarangire where we encoutered huge elephant herds, magnificent baobabs and lots of animals along the Tarangire river. Serengeti was amazing with the numerous animals sighting and the changing sceneries each day. We finished off with Ngorongoro whereby we descended down the crater floor to an amazing array of animals. Hamisi and his assistant Said made the camping experience so memorable. Once they had set up our tent at the different campsites, Said would proceed to prepare our dinner and this guy could cook. Sharing stories over wine and beer in the evenings by the bonfire were memorable! Sleeping in the wild was quite thrilling but scary at the same time. Hearing the lions and hyenas sounds sent chills up our spines but then that's what camping all about. Thank you for the awesome experience. We loved it.
Thank you for the amazing safari - we will never forget our wonderful trip with Damas, the best guide ever!! Everything was perfect, Damas ensured we saw the big 5 and so much more. A highlight of the trip was getting to see the great migration crossing the Mara River. Damas's knowledge is remarkable and we learnt so much from him. Damas found the spots that were not crowded with other tourists, this led to us being the only ones having our hot lunch, with about seven giraffes near by (we called it the Giraffe Cafe!). Damas was patient and determined to ensure we made the most of every moment. The organisation of the trip was brilliant - pick ups, drop offs, accommodation, lunches etc. We made the most wonderful memories and hope to return again one day - we would definitely choose Wildlife Experience Tanzania for another adventure!
Very nice trip. The guard Tiger is very communicative. He has quite good experience and we saw a lot of very rare animals, Lion, cheetah, leopard and many more. And also has the migration.
I am part of a group of friends who travel regularly and as a leading tour, I started my research a few months ago, in order to plan a Safari in the best parks and reserves in Tanzania and dedicate the last days to some neglect on idyllic beaches from Zanzibar. Since our group was somewhat extensive (21 people) and required greater complexity, I realized that the support of an agency in the field was essential for the success of the trip. I consulted several operators to whom I requested proposals, both in terms of itinerary and budget, and from the first moment that Wildlife of Experience Tanzania stood out and even though they were not the most economical, they proved their advantage over other operators from the first moment. Throughout the planning phase, from the definition of the route, the choice of accommodation, the proposal for parallel activities, internal flights and even the stay in Zanzibar, I had the support of Mr.Tiger., whose role is Journey designer, and I can only give you top marks. His performance was tireless at all levels and his pro activity is second to none. We exchanged hundreds of e.mails, and I've never been more than 12 hours without an answer from you. But I also want to highlight the professionalism of the team on the ground, whether in welcoming on arrival in Arusha, whose role of Mr Tiger is essential, giving us a detailed briefing of what we could expect in the next days of Safari, to the team of Guides who accompanied us ( in our case there were four because we traveled in 4 cars) whose commitment and competence was outstanding. In general, they revealed high professionalism, knowledge, friendliness, flexibility, and an enormous sense of duty, revealing creativity in the presentation of solutions that aimed to improve the pre-established plan or manage unforeseen circumstances avoiding the success of the trip. All lodges and campsites were exceptional, both in safety, quality and exoticism. The meals served during the safaris are an authentic must, complete meals, hot and accompanied by wine. The cars are very well equipped, with a cooler for drinks, (and how well you can drink a very cold beer in the middle of Safari), as well as being safe and very comfortable, which is worth mentioning since we spent hours inside them on the walks daily. The guides are incredible, they are authentic strategists, always knowing where to find the animals and what is the best position for the cars to be able to photograph. In addition to the "big five", we saw thousands of other animals, as part of a National Geographic program. Our car's guide was Deo, who besides being helpful and friendly, his knowledge of animal life coupled with his safari experience, also deserve top marks. I can say that without exception, the 21 people who made up the group rated this experience as one of the best, if not the best trip of their lives and did not spare praise from the beginning to the end. Over and over again they highlighted the excellent organization at all levels, the quality of the guides who accompanied us on Safari, whether for their competence, organization and resolution of issues and all this with a touch of challenge, making our adrenaline grow. The bush dinner was outstanding, we knew that not far from where we were having dinner there were lions and in the middle of dinner a herd of high-speed wildebeests, visible from our tables, probably escaped from the lions ... but beware! the camp team never neglected our security, patrolling the entire area around our tables. Finally, the choices in Zanzibar, either in Stone Town, on the beach and activities carried out, were considered top. Anyway ... a perfect trip in which everything was accomplished, with no deviation from what was expected and that in the feelings of all participants far exceeded their expectations. To repeat a Safari, it will always be with Wildlife of Experience Tanzania. They are to be congratulated!!!!
It’s was beat tripe ever I've never met a tour guide like him so helpful, funny,gentleman, patient and professional When we have flight issues , he solved for us When we test him, always replying fast He booked very nice hotel for us He is always there when ever we needs something 7days we been together for this amazing trip, he is not our tour guide , he is our big brother He name is ‘Tiger ' Only one tiger in Africa And the best one We will miss you And best wishes to him 😊
Our group of 16 people were on a 9 days safari in August with Wildlife Experience Tanzania Ltd. The director Mr. Damas(Tiger) gave us a lot of surprise when we traveled in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Natron. Tiger is a professional guide with 20 years' experience in safari. We saw the great CROSSING in the last morning in Serengeti. We are grateful to Mr. Damas and his team who give us a memorable experience in Tanzania.
We hired the Safari with these wonderful people and it was a total success. Both Damas (the office manager) and Malisa (guide and driver) were charming!! Starting with Damas, who told us to do a safari briefing the day before and thus get to know him. He gave us all the information and also kindly took us to an ATM and to the terrace of a hotel so we could eat! We did the safari for 3 nights and 4 days and we saw many animals and wonderful moments. Our guide/driver has been doing safaris for 16 years and it shows when looking for animals, he was guided by his sensations and we were able to see wonderful moments. The food during the safari was very delicious and has merit since it was cooked on the spot by our chef Richard!! At all times during the safari our guide/driver made sure that we were well and that we did not lack anything. An incredible experience that we will carry with us forever!!!
It was a fantastic safari with our great, funny guide Freddy. He shared his knowledge with us, showed great driving skills and rescued two jeeps in distress from the swamp! He looked after us and our well-being well. The lodges were so great, it's a shame there was hardly any time to enjoy them.Jasmin and Chrigel 🇨🇭
Unbelievable experience. That must be lived. The wild life experiences team was at the top (car, guide , cook...) Everything was perfect. We saw all the animals (the big 5) even the rhinos:)
