The majorities of travellers to the region either miss out Tarangire altogether or venture into the park for a matter of hours - leaving swathes of Tarangire virtually untouched! Late afternoon depart the park and drive to Manyara for dinner and overnight at Kizumba Campsite on full board basis

Beautiful experiance - We booked a 5 day safari to visit Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. We loved every moment of the safari. The camping was well arranged. Salim cooked great food for us everyday and Bacari is a super friendly and experianced guide and driver. He managed to get us into a deeper part of the Serengeti despite the roads conditions being challenging due to the rain. And he spotted animals while driving and got us into the right sports to take pictures and enjoy the animals. We were lucky with Bacari his experiance in finding animals and lucky with nature actually showing it self. We saw so many animals leading to more highlights then we can say. Leopard, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes and many many more.

Unforgettable trip with Bakari from Avocet that exceeded all of our expectations - This was truly an unforgettable trip and exceeded all of our expectations.
From start to finish, everything was very well organized. Communication with Hadija at Avocet was smooth, responsive, and genuinely pleasant throughout the entire planning process. She was flexible, patient, and helped us find the right balance between wildlife focus and budget.
Our driver and guide, Bakiri, was outstanding. He managed to locate every animal on our list, and not just sightings from a distance, but real, exciting moments in action. At the same time, he was incredibly patient, kind, and engaging with our two boys. He is the perfect guide for families, but also for more demanding travelers who want to maximize their wildlife experience.
Tarangire and Ngorongoro were both wonderful in their own ways elephants among baobabs, the dramatic crater landscapes. However, nothing could have prepared us for the wonders of the Serengeti during migration season. Seeing the vast herds in Ndutu, with predators nearby and newborn calves on the plains, was simply breathtaking. It is something we will never forget.
Accommodation-wise, the experience was quite well aligned to our expectations. The Seronera campsite was very basic, but it added to the sense of adventure, especially for the kids, who loved camping in the heart of the Serengeti. In contrast, the Ndutu mobile camp felt like true “glamping”, far more comfortable and well-appointed than we expected, with great food and a lovely atmosphere.
Overall, this safari delivered everything we had dreamed of and more. We would not hesitate to recommend Avocet Tanzania Safaris to anyone looking for a well-organized, wildlife-focused, and truly memorable experience.

An unforgettable safari with Serengeti Big Cats and our guide Albert - We came back with lots of memories in mind and completely happy with this safari. Thanks to a faultless organization but especially our guide Albert.
As soon as we arrived at the airport, he greeted us with a big smile and managed to put us immediately at ease. In addition to his human qualities, the fact that he knows parks and wildlife very well allowed us to see the big five, hunts and all in a superb atmosphere. Laughter was on board the whole trip!
He knew the parks so well and could see the animals from so far away (we sometimes needed binoculars!) that we ended up thinking that these parks were his gardens and that he must have swallowed a pair of binoculars when he was little;)
Thank you again Albert for making this trip unforgettable.

Great tour with very experienced guide! - I’ve just come back from the 5 day safari and I had the best time! Obviously most safari company’s follow similar routes and camp at the same campsites but what really made my experience special was our guide Mike. He was so warm and friendly and a very very experienced guide. He had incredible knowledge of all the parks and animals. He worked really hard to make sure we had clear close up views of all the animals and let is spend as long as we liked with each animal. His driving was very impressive especially through muddy wet roads.
The car and camping equipment were all good quality. There was plenty of very tasty food with Tanzania and western options at each meal thanks to our chef Kevin. It was also really nice to have hot lunches most days. I would highly recommend Avocet!

An amazing trip with lifetime memories - A group of us, three families, were going to safari in Tanzania and Zanjibar. Our trip was 5 days of safari and two days in all inclusive resort in zanzibar. Our "custom package" included everything (transportation, guide, food, hotels, and whatever else it may be). We had customized every aspect of our trip. Going from the US, we didn't know where to start. I sent emails to a few, about 10, highly rated companies on Tripadvisor and other websites. Only three companies responded. I sent follow up emails as I had more questions. Only Hadija at Avocet came back with desirable and detailed answers. I went back and forth multiple times to iron out minute details on hotels, type of safari jeeps, camps class and location, food inclusion and choices, guide info, and routes to name a few. Hadija always responded with promptly with detailed explanation. I really admired timely communication and descriptive communication.
Part of our deal, we were allocated three safari jeeps for three families. Our three drivers/guides, Michael, Waldon, and Ibrahim Bakari, were simply amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. They were quite friendly and conversational. None of them smoked which was an added benefit. All three families felt quite comfortable and at ease with our guides. We waited till last day of our trip to tip them. We were so happy, we tipped twice the recommended amount.
We did have a hiccup with Avocet. One of our flights were canceled due to airline change of schedule and "no refund" was given. Avocet wanted to charge us for the new flights. After back and forth, they agree to "cover" cost of new flights.
Overall it was an amazing trip. We were apprehensive before going to Tanzania. But, Hadija's hand holding made our journey very comfortable and easy. We would definitely utilize Avocet if we go back to Tanzania.

Better than we imagined! - We are three friends and spent five days with Bakary, our guide, and Kevin, the cook, in three national parks in Tanzania.
It was an important budget, but we really were not disappointed.
We honestly could not have dreamed better. Bakary was very friendly, funny and attentive, and he made sure that all our wishes came true.
Even if camping in a tent wasn’t always as comfortable as we would have liked, we really had a dream by going to Serengeti and observing the animals so closely.
We have memories for life.
We highly recommend!

Mike's the best! - Mike was an amazing guide, with a 6th sense for finding animals! We had a blast and saw pretty much every animal you could imagine, thanks to Mike's excellent driving. Food portions were a bit smaller than I would've liked and was the only negative I could think of for the trip. The food was amazing though, shoutout to the chef.Remember to bring a headlamp and a pillow if you want some extra comfort in the tents. Amazing wildlife experience!

MAMBO SAFARI! AMAZING - My daughter and I had the most amazing experience with Makini on Safari, with our brilliant guide Peter and wonderful cook Richard. Peter could not have been more accommodating, informative and fun.
He was extremely knowledgeable of not only the wildlife and each environment, but of Tanzania and its people, which made the long drives more engaging. He had impressive problem solving skills and made sure our trip was as seamless as possible.
Additionally, the communication of Makini and Nancy from the beginning was very quick, helpful and efficient, making organisation very easy. Overall an incredible experience that we will never forget! Highly recommend!!

Big Five in 5 days ! - It was a very special experience for us. We had a great time seeing a lot of animals in different national parks (seen the Big Five!)
We booked a 5 day trip covering Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I would recommend to spend at least 2 days in Serengeti since there is a higher chance to see animals like a leopard or cheetah. We stayed in the camps and slept in tents. If you are a big fan of luxury and comfort I would recommend to book a lodge instead since the tents are very basic with thin mattresses and a sleeping bag. For us it was just the right thing because the campsites are accessible from all sides (also for animals). We heard lions roar in the night and had visits from elephants, zebras, hyenas and many more animals in the camp which made it feel very special and connected to nature.
Big thanks to our driver Saidi which did such a great job navigating and driving through dusty and bumpy roads. He was always making sure that we had a great time and good game drives.
Also to mention that the food was great. My fiancée and I are both vegetarian and always had a lot from to choose from, very delicious food, three times a day.
When you book a trip be aware that there might be small changes to the plan such as changing campsites, time slots etc. which at the end did not spoil the fun for us.
So for is it was a 10 out of 10 experience!
