We only had one day for safari

We only had one day for safari and pale Tours made it perfect. The 4x4 Land cruiser was spotless with excellent suspension for the bumpy crater roads, and the pop up roof made photography so easy. 10/10 service.

An early 5:00 AM start from Arusha

An early 5:00 AM start from Arusha, but worth every single second! Pale Tours & Adventure got us to the crater floor ahead of the big crowds. We saw a pride of lions, a black rhino and thousands of flamingos by the lake Truly a bucket list day

I had an amazing day trip to Ngorongoro National Park. The scenery was beautiful, and I saw many wild animals, including lions, elephants, zebras, and buffaloes. The Ngorongoro Crater is truly spectacular and offers unforgettable views. The guide was knowledgeable and made the experience enjoyable. It was a wonderful adventure and a great opportunity to experience Tanzania's wildlife and natural beauty.

Ngorongoro Crater was absolutely unforgettable

My visit to the Ngorongoro Crater was absolutely unforgettable. The scenery is breathtaking, and the wildlife density is incredible. Within a single day, I was able to see lions, elephants, buffalo, zebras, and even a rhino. It’s truly one of the best safari experiences in Tanzania. Highly recommended!
