04 Days Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater group (Camping

Found the provider randomly on Safari bookings and had a great time! Was able to see the big 5 + a variety of rare birds. One of the things I appreciated was the ability to customize lodgings based on desired level of spend - I opted to camp in the wild two of the nights, but upgraded to a lodge the other two, which I thought was a good balance. My guide was very knowledgeable, and he tailored our sightings based on the group’s bird interest, which I thought was a nice touch. Emmanuel runs the company - it’s a family-run Tanzanian-owned business, so you don’t see the same mark ups you might from Western tour providers. Additionally, he acts essentially as a personal concierge upon arrival - shuttles you around. He also arranged a Kilimanjaro trek for me, which was great. I was in a private group on a 7 day Lemosho route trip. It was nice having continuity between both experiences. Kilimanjaro is definitely not for the faint of heart - I struggled with the conditions, but the porters and guide did everything they could to help me summit (including carry my day pack) and ultimately I made it. Relative to some of the bigger brand names you’ll see out there (Altezza, Climb Kili) - honestly I felt like I got a pretty similar experience. I didn’t have a large group of fellow western tourists, but I got more personal time with my guide, Mike - and felt like I learned a lot more about the culture. Overall a great option for Safari / Kili.

Traveled to Tanzania with my family, first time experiencing Africa and especially the safari. We booked through Emanuel which was extremely commutative and caring for every detail. We were giving Charles as our guide, which exceeded every expectation!!! Professional, knowledgeable about every part of the safari, and very warm and caring for our family. Couldn’t recommend a better duo for this trip!!!! 1000000/10!!!!!

The safari far exceeded my expectations. Emmanuel was very attentive, and even made last minute changes to enhance our trip. Charles, our driver, was super knowledgeable and made sure to show us the maximum during our safari. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Everything great! And great guide,Charles…utterly professional and knowledgeable

✅ We highly recommend Crater Explorer to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania at a great value. 🌍✨ 🦒 We had an incredible 4-day safari and everything exceeded our expectations. Communication with Emanuel was smooth throughout—he was always responsive, flexible, and very professional when our plans changed. We were even picked up from the airport at 2 a.m., and after a few hours of rest, our adventure began. 🚙 Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made every game drive enjoyable. Over the four days, we saw an amazing variety of wildlife, including 4 of the Big Five. 🐘 🍽️ A special thanks goes to the chef, who truly went above and beyond. Despite limited facilities and a busy schedule, he prepared delicious meals every day. We especially appreciated the thoughtful surprises—freshly made 🍿 popcorn while we waited for dinner and even 🍕 pizza alongside several other dishes after returning from a game drive in the Serengeti. 💛 The whole trip was perfectly organized, stress-free, and full of unforgettable moments. We enjoyed every minute of it and would gladly choose Crater Explorer again. Highly recommended! ⭐️🙌

✅ Highly recommend, if you want a great safari at the best price in Arusha. 👍 🦁 We had an amazing safari with Crater Explorer. Communication with Emanuel was smooth, he responded quickly and accommodated our changing schedule professionally. We were picked up from the airport at 2 a.m. and after a short sleep at a hotel, our safari started. The driver was so outgoing and experienced and we had great 4 days seeing so many animals 🦓 (including 4 of the Big 5). What standed out was the chef who went above and beyond and despite the lack of conditions and time, he delivered so delicious food for us at every meal, surprising us with fresh 🍿 popcorn as we waited for the dinner and with 🍕 pizza on top of the other 5 dishes as we returned from a game drive in Serengethi. The whole experience was perfect for us and we enjoyed it to the fullest. ⭐👌

Just back from an amazing 7-day safari and I can’t recommend it enough. Our itinerary covered Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, and three full days across different parts of the Serengeti — every day brought something new. Special mention to Emanuel for the impeccable organization. He was responsive, available, helpful, and truly listened to our needs throughout. The choice of lodges was beyond excellent — each one perfectly chosen. And our guides, Bato and Majid, were absolutely fantastic: patient, attentive, and always doing everything they could to make the experience special for us. A perfectly run trip from beginning to end. Thank you all! Hakuna Matata

An unforgettable 7-day safari that exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, the trip was flawless. We explored Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and spent three incredible days in the Serengeti, discovering several different areas of the park. A huge thank you to Emanuel, whose organization was simply outstanding. He was available at every step, quick to respond, genuinely helpful, and always attentive to what we wanted. The lodges he selected were more than excellent — comfortable, well located, and a real highlight of the journey. We were also incredibly lucky to have Bato and Majid as our guides. Both were superb: patient, attentive, and constantly going out of their way to make sure we enjoyed every single moment. Their knowledge and warmth made all the difference. Highly recommended — we’ll be back!
