We spent a week exploring the Materuni waterfalls, the Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti parks, and then visiting the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes. The whole experience was wonderful and deeply engaging. It wouldn’t have been as amazing without our guides, Elisha and Salehe. Their knowledge of the areas, their kindness, availability, and above all their passion for their work (and Elisha’s incredible eyesight!), along with the shared joy of observing the animals in all their beauty, truly made this safari unforgettable. Thank you so much, Elisha and Salehe! It’s been a month since we returned from this trip, and we still can’t stop talking about it. We’re also very grateful to the entire Oscar Safari team — to Shreddha for the itinerary and to Marcos for the continuous support during the safari. A special thanks as well to Agustine for his kindness. Highly recommended!

Visit the Hadzabe people, a nomadic tribe of hunters and gatherers who live in rural Tanzania. The community is based around Lake Eyasi in the Great Rift Valley and they depend on foraging for plants and hunting small game such as squirrels to survive. The Hadzabe are one of the only tribes in Tanzania that still have a completely traditional culture, so visiting them offers a rare glimpse into the lives of real bush people.

We spent a wonderful week on safari with Oscar's company. For this unforgettable week, we would like to thank Moïse, our guide, and Abdullah, our driver, for their kindness and professionalism. Their extensive experience and remarkable knowledge of the complex workings of the savannah allowed us to make the most of every moment. Every aspect of the trip, from transportation and the guide's accompaniment to accommodation and food, was very well organized. We experienced no inconveniences or disappointments. We highly recommend it!
My wife and I just finished our honeymoon doing a Safari with Oscar Africa Safaris and we were extremely satisfied with the whole experience. You should absolutely book with confidence! They were very easy to communicate with and accommodated all of our requests. One thing we learned is that having a good guide could easily make or break a trip like this. We highly recommend asking for Elijah! He was incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in all of the national parks we visited but his knowledge of the Serengeti was what impressed us most. He knew exactly where to look for all the animals that we wanted to see. The park roads are very rough and he is a skilled driver who can manage tricky situations well and has the knowledge to keep you safe. He takes very good care of his truck, which is very comfortable, clean, has good off-road tires and works reliably. We communicated with Elijah in Spanish for the whole trip and he speaks very well. He is a pleasant person to be around and to chat with. He also seems to understand English well. You will have an amazing and comfortable experience with Oscar Africa Safaris and Elijah! Book it!
Together with my family, we spent the first seven days of February 2025 on a safari with Oscar Africa. They took care of designing a safari tailored to the requirements we set, making a great effort from the beginning to meet our objectives: experiencing nature and learning about the local customs. Our guides during these days, Cristian and Baraka, demonstrated great professionalism. During the many hours we spent in the car together, Cristian shared (in perfect Spanish) insights about Tanzania’s history and the traditions of its people. Additionally, he is highly knowledgeable about wildlife, not only large mammals but also reptiles, birds, and even flora. Baraka, on the other hand, proved to be a skilled driver, navigating the trails and muddy roads with expertise. He was always attentive to spotting animals and, most importantly, ensuring the comfort of our daughters throughout the journey. They carried out their work with absolute professionalism and are highly recommended. The food we had, both at the hotel and during the picnics, was exquisite. From the office, Madelen was always attentive to our requests. Overall, Oscar Africa not only met but exceeded our expectations.
I am speechless! It couldn’t be better! Everything waaaas perfect, the accommodation (spotless), game drive, food, staff, etc. Everything was as promised, so with Oscar safari, you wont regret it! 🫶🏻 all the best to people who made it perfect for us!
My trip to Tanzania was lifetime experience we ever had on our life my wife and i travel 7 days safari in Tanzania for our 5th anniversary the experience we get from Oscar Africa was more than what we expect the safari car was brand new we feel so lucky also the safari guide was Excellent and good on sporting animals with much information about wildlife the hotels and camps was so nice from the food and hospitality was absolutely amazing in future we will bring our family and friends to Tanzania and we will travel with Oscar Africa safaris
The trip was incredible! Everything was spot on! We were incredibly lucky with sightings at Tarangire National Park and saw a lot of wildlife. The lunch was very good as well as snacks/drinks during the trip. The lodge we stayed was beautifully located and beautiful. Again, the food there was delicious. It was a mix of Safari & Culture experience and all of the experiences will stay with me forever, core memories. Thank you so much Oscar Africa Safaris!
The safari was amazing. Our guide stopped for all animals and we followed other cars to see more animals. Cold water and juice on board. Tasty lunch box. Nakupenda Tanzania.
Our experience from the beginning was incredible! From the first moment they were always willing to help us, guide us with everything necessary, and resolve each of our doubts. They helped us organize the trip completely to our liking and everything was very well coordinated from beginning to end (despite the time difference). They picked us up at the airport and took us to the hotel, and throughout the entire trip we felt that every detail was very well organized. We loved all the hotels chosen: they were clean, beautiful, with very kind staff and good breakfasts. The company's vehicles were also excellent, both the vans we used in the city and the Jeep for the safari. They were always impeccable, very comfortable, and perfect for the different journeys. We want to make a special mention of our guide, Pedro, who was without a doubt the best guide we could have had. He was always very kind, spoke perfect Spanish, had a smile on his face, and had an excellent attitude. Thanks to him, we learned a lot about the different animals and their behavior. In addition, he had infinite patience waiting for us while we took all the photographs we wanted and always made an effort to find the best spots within the parks so that we could observe and photograph the animals in the best way possible. He really made our safari even more special. We also want to mention Augustino, who transported us in the van and later took us to the airport. He was always very kind, attentive, and had a very good attitude. Although it is an expensive trip, for us it was 100% worth it and completely exceeded our expectations. It is an experience that is difficult to explain in words: incredible, exciting, and truly magical. We totally recommend Oscar Africa Safari and, if we were to take this trip again someday, we would undoubtedly choose them again. It was our dream honeymoon and a trip that we will remember forever! ❤️🦁🌍
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our trip to Tanzania has been, without a doubt, an experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Tanzania has surprised us, moved us, and left us with many precious memories, and in large part it has been thanks to the **Oscar Safaris** team. We want to especially thank **Prosper**, the logistics manager, for always being attentive to ensuring everything worked perfectly and for making it so that during the trip we could stop worrying about the organization and simply enjoy ourselves. We also want to mention in a very special way **Isabella**, our sales representative, who had infinite patience with us. We designed a completely personalized trip and kept making a thousand and one changes during the preparation, adapting it to our tastes and to what we wanted to experience in Tanzania. Isabella was always willing to listen to us, look for alternatives, and make our ideas a reality. Thank you so much for accompanying us throughout the entire process! And what can we say about Smagu, our Spanish-speaking guide. Friendly, charming, and always attentive to us. At all times he wanted us to be comfortable, to enjoy ourselves, and, above all, for us to take away an unforgettable memory of Tanzania. His warmth and the way he accompanied us made us feel very good throughout the trip. But we want to make a very, very special mention of Miralli (Mañana), our guide on the bicycle excursion through **Mto wa Mbu**. Miralli is exceptional, truly. The enthusiasm and pride he feels for his land and for sharing his culture is very evident. He explained countless details about their customs, their way of life, and their community, always with contagious energy and enthusiasm. Furthermore, he stayed with us for more than an hour beyond the time we had booked, simply because he wanted to show us more and share more things with us. Those kinds of gestures are what make the difference and make an excursion become an authentic and special experience. In short, we are very grateful to the entire Oscar Safaris team. We are taking away much more than photographs: we are taking away experiences, lessons, family moments, and, above all, the memory of wonderful people who made our trip even more special. Asante sana, Oscar Safaris, Prosper, Isabella, Smagu, and Miralli. See you soon, Tanzania! 🇹🇿❤️
It is a small company, but it operates very well. Both the guide and the driver treated us wonderfully; the schedules, hotels, and organization were always perfect.
Everything promised was fulfilled and they were in every detail before and during the trip. We spent the best days we could. The first thing I want you to read is this: we travel with a family with a 7-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl. Now yes! Everything was great from the organization during the previous months, all very clear, and above all: what was agreed was fulfilled. Now yes! The Safari, Magu the guide in Spanish very attentive, cordial, excellent companion guide, attentive to us, that we can communicate, I asked for it if you speak in Spanish , you will not regret, taught us many phrases in Suajuli also, another chapter the driver Eric , Uff! What to say, guaranteed adventure. Always careful on each path and in search of the big 5 always. Magu you are a great!! Thank you Oscar for the whole organization, for all the details and the Attention. Here I want to highlight Carlos, who was always attentive, who always called us during the wait for the trip, took every doubt, really impeccable the previous organization. I want to say something negative about a hotel, that Oscar had nothing to do with it, he turned it into a positive right away, a little problem in a hotel in Zanzibar and immediately, that same afternoon, he changed us to the borderline hotel. Effective communication. Quick. Immediate solution. Thank you. 100% recommended
We went on a 9-day private safari and I have no words to express what we lived through. We were organizing the trip almost for a year and the previous attention has been great, adapting the itinerary to what we asked. We even made video calls with them to resolve all doubts. The first day we did not arrive because of the delay of the connection between flights but it did not affect our itinerary. Since we landed, Maggu and Agustino were waiting for us to start the adventure, it was a beating but it was worth every second. The rest of the days we continue with Yuda, what a guide machine! Able to differentiate the animals at 3 km and an infinite patience with us, made the trip has been unforgettable, besides we have seen the big 5! The hotels have also been a fantasy, with the risk that when leaving the store we could be hunted by an aggressive neighbor but also brought excitement to the experience. Thank you very much, we leave with a full heart ❤️
Extremely disappointing. Not recommended. Paid a fortune for substandard accommodations and guides who had other priorities, like celebrating New Year's Eve, rather than us visiting the Serengeti, as scheduled.
It was a great few days touring Taranguire, passing through the impressive Ngorongoro and crossing serengeti to the Mara River to see the great migration. Super complete Safari. But certainly the best thing about the trip was meeting Elisha, thanks to her passion for animals we could see the big 5, as she never gave up and every day tried to make us see as much as possible, she is a great person and made us feel super comfortable throughout the trip. It gave us a lot of security to travel with Elisha because you could see that she knew every road, was always attentive to all the details and even repaired a puncture in record time, thanks to it the experience was exceptional and unforgettable.
It's been an amazing experience. From the first minute Marcos has been fully available to help us and solve all doubts. Thank you for making this trip unforgettable. Pedro and Baraka who accompanied us during our safari, amazing! We'd repeat everything.
Oh, great. Spectacular. It all starts with Marcos’ attention and dedication when planning the trip and helping us with any questions we had (currency to carry, visa processing...) Once in Tanzania, the people who accompanied us were wonderful. Since Augustinian was the driver the first two days, to continue with Amiri and Chals, who accompanied us throughout the safari and increased the level of experience. They knew a lot and conveyed passion for animals and nature as well as knowledge. Without them it wouldn't have been the same. I would certainly recommend it a thousand and one times!!
An amazing experience!! We did a total of 3 safaris (Tarangire, Ngongoro and Serengueti) and could not be happier. The nights at the Serengueti were unique, especially the first night a spectacular male elephant appeared around the camp. It is a plus that the meals we were given for the parks were hot (we appreciate not eating sandwiches) and I would especially highlight the guides who accompanied us, Maggu and Erik. They were both heavily involved in the animal search (we could see them all, including the leopard and the cheetah, except the rhino) and were very friendly and respectful. Highly recommended!!
Amazing ride. The organization was great. The best part of the trip was certainly both our guide Maggu and our driver Erick who at all times were very attentive, but more than that very friendly and who made the trip much more enjoyable! They certainly made the trip much better
Unique and beautiful experience. Plus our guide Elishia who made it even better. We had a great time and saw amazing things.
The safari experience very complete with most possible animals seen. As for Elisha our guide was the best thing that could have happened to us on this very attentive, nice and very experienced trip.
Well, I really felt very well treated by the team at Oscar Africa, driver Alex and guide Magu tried very hard to teach me the maximum animals possible. Marcos the guy I always talked to him, to organize the trip, also a super friendly and attentive boy. The trip was a dream come true... The only thing I can say a little less good is the car that was pretty old and broke down from the beginning making some awkward dicks all the way and left us lying around Arusha. Otherwise a 10.
I traveled with my partner in July. It really was a wonderful and unforgettable experience. Always very attentive and attentive to everything. They complied perfectly with everything agreed, punctual and professional. The accommodations met all expectations. But above all we want to highlight the excellent guide we had: Elijah. He made us see all the animals possible, always willing and with a smile. Impossible to remember the trip without keeping it in mind! We recommend them 100%
We booked our honeymoon with this agency and it was a great success. Safari in Tanzania and Zanzibar; thanks to Elisha, we had the most incredible experience of our lives. The safari was spectacular thanks to him. He's incredibly knowledgeable about the country, its culture, and animals, and he knows the national parks like the back of his hand. The agency has been in contact with us every step of the way, and the price-performance ratio is unbeatable. It has been a real pleasure!!!!!!
The experience has been perfect. The company is super attentive that everything goes well before, during and after the trip and they design the trip to your tastes and budget. And especially thanks to our guides and drivers Elisha, Amir and Agustinos who have treated us super well and we have managed to see the big five! We would repeat 100%. I knew it would be the trip of a lifetime and I keep thinking about it!
We did our safari with Oscar Africa and we had Elisha as our Spanish-speaking guide. The safari was amazing, we saw all the animals on our list and beautiful scenery and corners. Elisha was an excellent guide, knew every corner of the parks we visited and is also an excellent driver. We always felt safe and could enjoy the safari peacefully.
Oscar Africa has far exceeded our expectations. Unforgettable experience thanks to our guide, Elisha, who in addition to speaking perfectly Spanish, is a great professional and knowledgeable about parks, as well as a very good driver. We enjoyed watching the big five. We took the backpack loaded with a million photos, and fantastic memories. Thanks also to Marcos for watching us from minute one, you have made it very easy for us. We're leaving in love with Tanzania.
Spectacular experience. Thanks to our guide Elisha, with perfect Spanish, expert driver, connoisseur of nature parks and Swahili teacher, we have enjoyed a wonderful experience. Very good food especially at picnics. The beautiful landscapes in this time. We saw many animals on safari, Elisha saw them miles away with a view of lynx. Without a doubt, 100% recommended
Just spectacular! I traveled with my partner and a friend and the three of us were fascinated with him the trip and the treatment received by the agency, which at all times complied with the agreement more than 👌 Thank Oscar (our Guide in Spanish) for the treatment and professionalism in explaining everything and helping us communicate with the hotel staff and others, also Erik (our driver), very experienced and always with a smile, the shame that we could not talk so much with him for the language barrier, but Oscar was in charge of translating😄 Mention also Florence who was always aware to help at all times and that we were okay, attending us by whatsapp as quickly as possible and facilitating things, for example, organizing pickup and transfer times with the driver who put us in Zanzibar ... and if we wanted to change any excursion or add anything we wanted there was also no problem even if we had to change Internal Flights, I simply wanted us to enjoy our trip to the fullest Also thank you for the punctuality and availability at all times of the driver who put us in Zanzibar for all transfers (Khery) In short our experience with Oscar Africa Safaris has been 10 and I will recommend it to my acquaintances who want to make the trip one day ✅✅
Superb experience with Oscar Safari. Care and attention at all times. Both the hotels offered and the proposed route have been 10. Special mention to Erik, our fabulous driver- Guide who has made the trip very fun, enjoyable and above all we have learned a lot from that fabulous country.
Amazing experience!! Highly recommended, we had Eric as a driver who is a real expert in this type of activities, always very friendly and pleasant! The Guide was Oscar who was an extraordinary person too, an expert on Tanzanian fauna. Thanks to the other Oscar team safari highly recommended the experience
Oscar has been really wonderful.From the first moment he has been super attentive and worried about us.He has a knowledge of the stunning Safari environment, we have managed thanks to him to see everything we wanted, the big 5 and many more. It has taught us a lot about culture and customs, as well as defending ourselves with the key words of the language. We have a lot of Trips experience and Oscar has been the best we have found, it should be noted that he has a manner and a clean knowledge. Keep it up, Oscar, you'll get very far! Thanks for these days, you have a family in Galicia! Regarding the Safari, everything perfect, the drive, the accommodations and the attention in all the places we have been have been 10.
I have spent a wonderful holiday in Tanzania thanks to the organization of Oscar Safari and special mention of Oscar as Guide who knows parks and animals very well and Eric our driver as a great Pro, much needed to take you safely along those dirt tracks. I definitely recommend them.
I have gone this summer of Safari with my family with Oscar Safari and we all recommend them without a doubt. The organization of the company is perfect, they take care of everything in detail. On the other hand our Academy Guide has been close and attentive at all times, making sure that our experience was the best possible, he is also a great Pro who helped us in everything, turned to have an incredible experience. If you are going on safari going with a good driver is very important, we were lucky to have erik who made our tours enjoyable and entertaining, he also knew the animals very well and always positioned the car in the front row to see the animals as close as possible. The food was great, we were served hot dishes instead of sandwiches like most rival companies. We recommend this company for safari without a doubt. Thank you very much guys, twende rafiki!!!!!
Experience with Oscar Africa: This holiday I have enjoyed with my family doing a safari in Tanzania, I have to highlight the great team that accompanied us. Oscar a spectacular Guide with a very broad knowledge of animals and on the other hand Eric who is a great driver who always positioned us on the front line to see animals. Both have always been very attentive to us making sure we never missed anything and were at our best.

Traveling to Tanzania was our dream for a long time and Oscar Africa made that dream come true. I'd like to thank the entire team that organized our perfect trip to Tanzania, Mr. Oscar, and promised to see the big five, but we saw even more than we expected. Africa is the best place in the world to be. People are super happy with the lovely smile on their face. Kindness and affection, our guide Baraka was very fun and is the best at caring for animals with lots of information about the safari. We strongly recommend that you travel with Oscar Africa once you visit Tanzania.
Great experience with Oscar Africa safaris, we did a 7-day safari in northern Tanzania, Oscar Africa safaris, made a right choice, traveling with Oscar Africa, we have been planning this for a year and a dream come true. Traveling with Oscar Africa was the best decision we could make, we highly recommend them on your Tanzania safaris
I had booked a trip with some friends for Tanzania which I could not take because of a medical issue. From Oscar Africa they told me that there was no problem, they would save me the reservation of the trip for later... finally concrete with them a departure in May, they give me their word that the reservation does not entail any kind of extra expense until the same day that I will make the trip, where they tell me that there was a problem with the park and hotel fees, which I must pay 807 euros, when I had already paid them 1600 euros. When I tell them that with those conditions, which I had never been told before, I would not fly, since I was not willing to pay for the trip twice. All this after 5 hours at the airport when it is impossible to communicate with them because they do not answer me except Dana, who was the only one who showed her face and I thank her enormously. I told them that with these conditions I would not travel and that I would ask for the refund of the trip, to this day they still do not give me an answer. The trip I had organized initially, with some hotels and specific areas of the serengueti changed them without warning, two weeks later I had to discuss it with them and ask for explanations. They will never give you the wifi service in the vehicle, which sells as an extraordinary service. Other tourists who contracted with them included passengers in the jeep without warning, hire a private safari for four people and suddenly include one more person, when depending on the people the price varies. I wouldn't hire a ride with them again. I upload two photos of the conversation with them, in one they tell me that there is no extra charge, only the last hotel night on March 13 and the next photo, on May 13 just the same day I travel to Tanzania.
I did a lot of research before making the decision, it was my first and my last chance to make this trip and we selected this company. The experience was much more than expected. My husband didn't really want to go and now he is surprised and fascinated with this experience and the great support of YUDA Y BARRACA. The service and willingness to help from YUDA Y BARRACA, our guide and our driver, was really surprising, that makes the difference. Almost all the Safari companies in this area do the same tour, but I assure you that what makes it so pleasant here is the spirit of service of this company. Thanks to Florence and Dana for their support.
It's been amazing. Oscar and Barraca were super attentive and friendly, two human beings that are hard to find. We can say that it has been the experience of our life. We saw it all. The big 5!
What a great experience! This safari was magical! More than I could have imagined! Thanks to Oscar and Baraka who made us experience these moments with all their knowledge, kindness and kindness. ❤️
