Tarangire and Ngorongoro are both worth seeing. I preferred the animal spotting in Tarangire but the Ngorongoro crater is stunning, a must see. The trip was well organized and i would recommend booking the safari with Mohammed. Everything was as described in the safari details i had read before booking and Mohammed is a really friendly guy. I also want to thank Assad, who works with Mohammed, for helping me out in and around Arusha before and after Safari. A great experience, thanks guys.

We came all way from Europe. We landed around 3am but Bernard advised us to relax and he would offered us a free accomodation and even take us to a day trip. He precisely did that ! We further took a safari to 4 great National Park in Northern Circuit. We saw alot of animals enjoying the nature rather than we used to Zoo even luckily to spot a lion killing a wildebeest in Serengeti. Our guide was pretty super. Much thanks to Bernard, Simba( our guide ) for taking good care of us.

Our last minute, 8 night safari at the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater area couldn’t have been better! Brian was attentive from the moment I sent my first email to Staajabu Travel. He was originally scheduled to provide a guide for our full day game drives at the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater, as well as providing transport from the Serengeti to the Gibbs Farm, near the Ngorongoro crater. But as flights canceled, Brian made recommendations, and rerouted us to make sure we were able to maximize our time in the parks. When we landed at Kilimanjaro airport we were greeted by Brian and our incredible guide, Freddy. Instead of catching our flight the next day from Arusha to the Serengeti, as it canceled at the last minute, we decided to drive. 7 hours one way, breaking it up with an overnight in Karutu. It was an excellent way to get a jump start on our trip, see the beautiful country and avoid any other potential travel disruptions. We spent six full days on safari with our guide Freddy and we learned so much! He was an absolute joy! Brian handled every curve ball that was thrown at us, and even coordinated the Covid test that was required for our return trip through Kenya. We enjoyed our stay at the Four Seasons and Gibbs Farm and would highly recommend working with Staajabu travel for all of your Tanzania travel needs!

I have communicated with See Adventures extensively before the trip to customize the trip to our needs. Hamiss has been truly wonderful and accommodating to everything which was very reassuring. Our guide, David, was really great. He is very experienced and helpful. We learned so much and saw everything we have dreamt of seeing. The arrangement, the car, the food, and everything was just superb. I recommend see adventures

I had a great day with Reuben at the local market, waterfalls, and at "The Small Things" office in Usa River region. It was a great way of combining support for local communities and tourism. The market is absolutely a must, and in my opinion best to go with a local, not because it is not safe, but because you can be offered everything at every corner so it could be a bit overwhelming without a local speaking swahili. This was one of the best experiences during my holiday and Reuben was great because he really knew where to find what i wanted, and also at a "local" price. The waterfall tour was also great, we walked through the "banana village" (loads of banana trees) to reach the falls and it was really fantastic and not too hard for those that don't like to walk too much. Everything was great, Reuben was always on time, always responding quickly to my requests on whatsapp, the guides he hired very professional, food served great. overall a fantastic experience (again, don't miss the market, i got a tailor made shirt with african textiles, was amazing to see the tailor in action) After the market we visited The Small Things office and its school/dormitories. It is a great organization with a very unique goal of returning kids to their families, so they see residential care as a temporary solution which i found very interesting. There is a lot more that they do so I encourage you to check on their website or - better - spend a day with Reuben who will explain very well and also engage you in their mission. Thanks a lot to The Small Things and Reuben for the great day and for helping their communities with the revenues from the tours!
