Best Family safari with Safari Escort We visited Tanzania as a family of 8 people and had to see Great Wildebeest Migration in Serengeti for the first time. We were worried of the kids but Isack and the company assured us that we can have kids with us. Sure enough, it was amazing. We stayed at Acacia properties in Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti.

Incredible This was our second experience in Tanzania after we had visited in 2023. This time we wanted to visit southern circuit of Tanzania. We therefore booked our 15 day safari covering Nyerere, Mikumi, Udzungwa and Ruaha including different ads-on activities like Walking, Boat, Hiking and Game drives. Lodges and camps were excellent, the foods (local foods), staff we met at every place we stayed were splendid. Can't say much above all Khalifa was a great guy, we had him as a guide for the trip. This was cost effective safari experience.

Best Tanzania Safari We enjoyed an exceptional 5-day safari in February during the calving season. We explored Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Ndutu area. Wildlife viewing was outstanding, particularly witnessing numerous newborn animals in Ndutu. The guides were highly knowledgeable and welcoming, consistently ensuring we experienced the best sightings in complete safety.The entire journey was excellently organized, and the driver was outstanding, driving smoothly while sharing many insightful facts. I felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip overall. This safari ranks among the finest experiences of my life. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour and Safari Escort.
