Our Customer Reviews:
This 2-day safari was absolutely amazing! From the moment we were picked up in Arusha, everything was perfectly organized. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, making the game drives unforgettable. We saw elephants, lions, buffalo, and even a rhino in Ngorongoro Crater! The lodges were comfortable, meals were delicious, and the private safari experience gave us complete flexibility. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a short but unforgettable Tanzanian adventure!
I booked this safari with my family and it exceeded all expectations. Tarangire and Ngorongoro are breathtaking, and our guide made every moment special. The private vehicle meant we could stop and take photos whenever we wanted. Perfect for families, couples, or solo travelers who want comfort, flexibility, and adventure. Definitely worth every dollar!
