4 Days Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Camping Safari

The safari was very nice. We saw a lot of animals and beautiful scenery. Time of transit between spots were long at time, there was also a lot of aspects that were not organized or not communicated clearly during the safari which lead to waiting and uncertainty. The food was delicious and our Guide was very knowledgeable . Our highlight was Noel, whom we met before and after. He waa very good host, generous with his time, provided clear information, went beyond to help us and make sure we were ok and well taken care of.

An unforgettable experience that was perfectly curated. Our coordinator Noel was absolutely fantastic and made sure we have a great time at the safari. From airport pickup to drop off we felt very looked after and each element was just perfect and managed in a stress free environment. The food was delicious, sleeping conditions were better than expected and you even got the luxury to get a barista made coffee in the middle of the national parks… I would strongly recommend opting for this route as well, as we got to see such a wide range of animals in different settings. From Baobab tree filled Tarangire to breathtaking Ngorongoro crater, there wasn’t a moment you weren’t stunned by the beautiful environment you were driving through. Our guide Godson was brilliant and knew exactly the spots to look out for rarer spotted animals, such as cheetahs and rhinos. He also provided great knowledge about the animals and was patient and helpful with any of our questions. Overall a 100/10 experience and would love to do it all over again.

We did the 4-day camping safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, and I could not recommend it more. From the beginning, we were kept in the loop with everything, it was organised smoothly and efficiently by Noel, who was responsive, friendly, and made the whole booking process stress free. The safari itself felt like a dream. Every day brought something new: watching elephants roam in Tarangire, experiencing the endless plains and dramatic sunsets of the Serengeti, and finally descending into the surreal Ngorongoro Crater, where we saw lions just metres away from our vehicle. Our guide Godson was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about wildlife, which made every sighting feel even more special. The Safari truck was also extremely comfortable and had everything you could need (chargers and fridge for cold drinks). Camping under the stars added a whole other level to the experience. The food exceeded expectations: hearty, varied meals prepared fresh each day.

I couldn't have been more happy with this safari, it was a once in a lifetime experience that exceeded my expectations. Despite it being the wet season and being warned that the animals are harder to see, we saw all of the big 5 pretty quickly, huge herds of elephants as well as giraffes, zebra, wildebeest, a cheeta, hyenas, jackals, hippos, warthogs and even a rhino! Plus the scenery was spectacular! Noel organised the safari perfectly, was very quick to respond to messages, was waiting for me at the bus to take me to the accommodation and explain the itinerary, and helped me with payment options. Malisa our safari guide was very knowledgeable, was full of great suggestions and advice, and great to get along with.

My partner and I did the "4 Days Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Camping Safari". Planing and support, via e-mail, with Gilbert and on-site from Noel was great. Both took well care of us and helped even with illness and reacted on feedback on the run. You felt that they want to take care of you that your happiness is important. The briefing at the day before the Safari was adhoc and in the hotel-room which was a bit intrusive and overwhelming. (the lobby or restaurant is a better place) The Safari itself was great. The campsites were as expected - tents ok, toilets and even showers available, food was delicious. (please do not expect hotel-standard bathrooms) Cars were great - one could stand-up to use the open roof to enjoy nature and wildlife. The crew that took care of us during the Safari was friendly and supportive. At the beginning not always clear "who" is the go-to-person and lead but with some personal engagement all was clear soon. We were 6 folks in the car - great people and we made good friends. You share a car, drinks and a driver who is at the same time the guide. We had 2 guides - one for the first 3 days and one - for the last day. Both were friendly and nice. Could have been a bit more vocal in explaining animals, countryside etc. (rather reacting to questions) Please bring warm cloths - the Ngorongoro Crater is on 2300m and at night it was really cold. (we didnt bring our warm Down-jackets which are needed) Be aware, that one is driving 4-5hours every day in a car off-roads. Price and service in the end was great. The first hotel (arriving night) was not so good - so we asked and for the last night we got a different one with was way better. Can only recommend to talk to Gilbert and Team from the very beginning openly and they will make the experience as well as it can be. Enjoy your Safari - fair price and very good service.

We visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire in September 2022. I have to say, Budget Safaris Tanzania made our visit marvelous, and excellent. So if you are planning a safari trip, I would strongly recommend Budget Safaris Tanzania. They really made our trip unforgettable. They had fulfilled every request we made. Everything was super tented was clean, and great food also our chef was very chiming. Our guide Nelson was a really nice and kind and great driver and he answered all our questions about Tanzania, Africa, nature and the most important - animals! We saw elephants, zebras, giraffes, hippos, buffalos, lions, cheetahs, and also rhinos, and many many other animals. If I ever have a chance of visiting Tanzania again, I know that I will be contacting Budget Safaris for booking a tour :)

Africa is amazing and we loved our trip with Budget Safaris Tanzania. Budget Safaris was great to work with and our trip exceeded our expectations. We started in Tarangire National Park, traveled throughout most of the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro crater and spent two nights in a Maasai village. The arrangements for accommodations Budget Safaris Tanzania made were very nice. We had an EXCELLENT guide who was knowledgeable, fun, energetic and made every effort to make our trip the best. We had our 12 year old grandson with us and, Luca, our guide made sure to engage and involve our grandson everyday, it was fantastic, we recommended Budget Safaris Tanzania is the best they make our dream come true.

Budget Safaris Tanzania truly provided an above and beyond experience. Everything was well organized and they delivered a customized package to meet all our needs. Our guide, Said, was truly outstanding. His driving, knowledge of the animals/parks/culture/history, and game spotting are unparalleled. He tracked down all of the big 5 for us and got us right up to the animals, set us up with picturesque picnics, our Camping was good and all our schedule adjustments, helped us negotiate with vendors, and went above and beyond to make our trip perfect. We couldn't ask for more!

Budget Safaris Tanzania arranged our safari in Tanzania, organized permits for all park we visited. Everything was impeccably planned and executed. Before and during the trip we always felt perfectly informed and well taken care of. During planning, Gilbert was highly flexible and created an itinerary tailored to us. David was a great tour guide with knowledge about all animals and birds we encountered. He is also a very likable person and we felt very secure with him all the time. We especially valued his punctuality and high standards of professionalism. Thanks again for the wonderful time and we can highly recommend going on a safari with this agency. Not least for the cool gift they extend to you at the end!

I had such an great experience with this team. Elly was so informative and helped us get an up close experience
