4-Day Safari: Lake Manyara, Serengeti & Ngorongoro

Please note that Kenya Bush Expeditions operates as a contractor where they subcontract out services such as the cook, guide, etc. So our group was a mix of folks who booked through other agencies as well. This can be an issue as there’s no real accountability for quality of service. In our case, our guide was terrible- English skills were poor (couldn’t explain anything to us other than point out animals and their names), was lazy- did not even come to our group to highlight our schedule/itinerary day by day or even say good morning, or help us with bags, and was extremely dismissive when we wanted to stop to take pictures of animals. I let Kenya Bush know this was the case, but I’m not sure anything much will be done to remedy this. I would highly suggest using Nyange Adventures who operates very professionally and I noticed also had slightly nicer 4x4s. We used Nyange in booking our Mt Meru hike and they were awesome.

Amazing safari experience with great knowledgeable and friendly guides, Masulya and Martin, who made sure we got to meet every expected animal and answered all our questions (even the stupid ones!). We got to see the big 5s (except the rhinoceros): lions (even a few gazelle chases and kill); elephants, giraffes, a leopard with its young, zebras, ostriches, hippos, buffalos, all types of gazelles, gnous, etc. To make it a five star rating, some information about the type of accommodation to expect would have been useful. Sleeping in an unsupervised tent surrounded by wild animals was an interesting and unforgettable experience (although scary at first) but the amenities of each camp site (except the first night in the lodge) were dirty. Apart from that we enjoyed every minute of our safari. Thank you to Masulya and Martin for an unforgettable safari!

Fantastic trip, seen a lot and good overnight stays. Everything was perfectly arranged. With our highly experienced guide Max, it has become an unforgettable journey. It was an unforgettable travel through Tanzania. Everything was perfectly arranged and with our very experienced guide Max, it was really wonderfull. Tanks to Max.

We booked this tour but somehow got assigned to an operator different than Kenya Bush. It was another local company and we joined another 4-people group who booked with that company originally. But all was fine. We got what we were promised. We got picked up from our hotel but arrived late to join the group (there was some miscommunication there). Our final itinerary was revised a little, basically skipping the Lake Maniama and stayed in Serengeti for one more day. It was based on the driver’s recommendation that Serengeti is better for seeing animals. So we went with the group. We saw almost everything, except for Rhinos. We spotted over forty lions, six chitchat and two leopards, countless elephants, giraffes and hippos, zebras, wildebeests. You name it. The driver was exceptionally knowledgeable. We truly had a great time and we became friends with the Argentine family we toured with!

i booked this tour after much online search. john was quick to respond and arranged my pick up from my arusha hotel swiftly; of course with a briefing the night before. Its such an amazing tour with camping so close to animals. We saw many animals and our guide had vast knowledge of where to get our animals thirsty heads! I would rather book this tour again. Really enjoyed meeting new friends!

This camping tour gives real adventure in the national parks. its less luxury tour with alot to see and learn. our tour started with pick up from our hotel, briefed and joined others in the jeep. Total 6 in the jeep. We were able to see many animals and the guide had great courage to look them for us. Serengeti national park was everything as we saw almost every animal here. The biggest herd of buffalo was in Ngoro Ngoro. perfect tour to confidently book.

Finished my tour a week ago and the experience is amazing!The tour is perfect for travelers on budget and want to experience real African adventure. Its fun for camping and gives you tent making experience. The animals are many in all the parks visited. The descend and ascend to the Ngoro Ngoro crater is thrilling, but an experience you would want to repeat. Serengeti national park is vast and a must visit park.

The camping tour started well from my Arusha hotel. Lake manyara, ngoro ngoro crater and serengeti national park is wonderful place to visit, with flora and fauna scattered all over. The rough road is tough but equally enjoyable for that native African safari. Guide joe, knows the places well and full of of jokes!! Though a bit cold in the early mornings, the views of the sunrise from the camp site is amazing. Elephants grazed near our camp. Something i can repeat in future.

I joined a group from Arusha to Manyara, Serengeti and NgoroNgoro crater. Its a perfect decision, being a solo traveler and joining the friendly group. The travel and wildlife is what i was looking for having seen safaris and animals on geographic channels. Its an experience i was waiting for . Guide was friendly and informative, sometimes sharing a little bit, about the history of the country. We saw almost everything; lions, many of them, leopards, cheetah, though from a distance, big families of elephants, The amazing buffaloes. it was fun, going down the crater, the caldera lake and the picnic site. If i have to right everything, no End! I can only say thank you to the team that put the safari for us, Kudos!! High recommended tour and company.

I booked a tour to Serengeti and Ngoro ngoro crater with kenya bush. The price was relatively oaky given i was a solo traveller joining a group. We were 6 in total and realy enjoyed the companyof the others. The guide and the camping team were friendly, a good selling point given many people are usually afraid in foreign countries. The serengeti eco system is perfect for nature lovers like me. It was my second time in africa and the tour was just amazing. Several of my friends are currently preparing for tour and will diffently recomend this tour
