Great safari tour - The whole experience was really great and we got to see a lot. Guide was professional and shared us many interesting details about the culture and animals. We also had an excellent chef who prepared us lunch and dinner. No additional water or snacks was needed. We stayed in the mid-range accomodation. They were really nice and clean. Our rooms had showers and toilets, you were also able to charge you phone.

Great safari. - We were on a three-day safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro in a group of six. Crater explorer tours and safaries has been a terrific approach. Excellent organization , attentive approach and very flexible navigation of all issues. I wrote to several companies at once, but the first person to respond was Emanuel, He answered all my questions very quickly on Whotsapp. Immediately we agreed on the price and discussed all the nuances. I was picked up at Kilimanjaro airport, checked into a very nice Venice hotel the day before the safari, picked me up in the morning by a jeep driver and the journey started. Overnight camping, our chef always cooked fresh food and a variety of dishes. Drinks, fruit, water were always enough. We've seen a lot of different animals and birds. I'm impressed by this safari. I recommend this company.

A Truly Special Safari Experience - We had a wonderful experience with this tour company.
Our coordinator, Emanuel, was incredibly kind and attentive to every detail. One of the great things about this package was that it included airport–hotel transfers as well as dinners at the hotel before and after the tour, which made everything very smooth and stress-free. Emanuel was always quick to respond and very reliable.
During the tour, our guide was Charles. He has over 20 years of guiding experience and knows the animals and the parks inside out. He could anticipate animal movements and always brought us to the best spots. The meals prepared by the chef, Emanuel, were absolutely delicious, and sharing meals together in the park was a truly special experience.
Everyone on this company’s team was warm and welcoming.
I highly recommend them!

Unforgettable 3-Day Safari from Arusha to Serengeti & Ngorongoro! - Our 3-day camping safari was nothing short of incredible! From the moment we were picked up in Arusha, everything was perfectly organized. The drive through the stunning landscapes set the tone, but nothing compared to the moment we entered Serengeti National Park and immediately spotted lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo and even a cheetah.
Camping in the Serengeti was an experience I’ll never forget. The tents were safe, meals were freshly prepared, and the guide and chef made us feel safe and cared for the entire time. Waking up to the sounds of wildlife right outside was surreal.
On the final day, exploring Ngorongoro Crater felt like stepping into a natural wonder of the world—thousands of animals in one breathtaking place, from zebras and wildebeest to hippos and lions. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, spotting wildlife we would have easily missed and sharing fascinating insights about their behavior and the ecosystem.
This trip was the perfect balance of adventure, comfort, and authentic safari experience. I cannot recommend it enough—absolutely a 5/5, and one of the most memorable trips of my life!

Smooth booking process - My partner and I booked the 3-day Ngorogoro & Serengeti safari tour through Crater Explorer Tours and Safaris and we had a lovely time! Due to there only being the two of us, the actual tour was joined with another company so I can't comment on the actual safari but the booking process was very smooth. Emanuel was very responsive and helpful throughout the process (from initial inquiry all the way to last-minute questions)!
The 3 day safari tour was amazing value as well. Of all the quotes I received, this tour was the most budget-friendly & holistic (e.g. not just visiting one park).
Highly recommend!

Amazing tour! - From Japan, I contacted Emmanuel on whatsapp and went on a 3 day safari tour. It was low season and there were few tourists, so I took a ride in a suricata safaris car and the driver Damien was a very nice guy. It was a great experience. Thank you very much.

Best experience - We went to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro National Park. Crater is a small company, and we joined other tour companies to tour in one car, and overall it was a really good experience. You can see lions, wildebeest and zebra swarms in the wild, and your guide will share the animal's location and quickly take you to any rare animals.
Asante sana

Everything is worth! The Chinese don't lie to the Chinese - Very satisfied, this is my first time in Tanzania, in order to safari, actually very nervous, afraid of encountering unreliable companies, unreliable guides, afraid of being cheated, but really not at all worried, ground Ema is very good, also responsible, my friends and I are not very good in English, communication basically depends on words and translation software, but he is patient, constantly telling us the itinerary, every step, the hotel booked is also great and safe. The guide at the beginning of the trip is the driver. With more than twenty years of experience, he stops to explain to us when he sees animals on the road. I don't know what magical eyes he has. He always finds animals, and many times I even use look glasses to see them. Except for the leotard, I saw all five of them, excited! Not only that, but the guide will set up lunch, pack it after eating it, reconfirm your itinerary for the day before you leave each day, and reconfirm your next meeting time when you send it to the hotel in the evening, without any worries. The second night's stay is great, is staying in a wildlife sanctuary, hotel staff will introduce you to breakfast, dinner time, there is no anonymity, because it is in the nature area, for security will be led by staff to your room, is a tent, into the room will introduce the room, hot water, drinking water, etc., each room has a walkie-talkie, any need to tell staff, one hotel even prepared hot water bags, very sweet. Recommended for all who want to come to Tanzania to see animals choose them, it's worth it!

Amazing safari! Highly recommend! - I enjoyed the 3 day Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater safari - mid range lodge option - in January 2025.
My experience with Crater Explorer Tours and Safaris was absolutely immaculate from start to finish!
I’d like to extend a massive thank you to Emanuel for organising this trip for me! Emanuel was professional and responsive at all times and organised everything that I asked for.
The inclusion of airport transfers and hotel stay before and after the trip was greatly appreciated and very helpful!
The tour itself was incredible! Amazing sightings, guide, and wonderful food and accommodation. I even received a wonderful upgrade to my accommodation on my final night in the crater as the original one that was quoted to me was booked!
I am so grateful for this tour and the amazing company that Crater Explorer Tours and Safaris is. I highly recommend them if you are planning a trip to Tanzania!
