Amazing experience - I found Emanuel and his tour company through word of mouth, and I have to say—this was hands down the best tour experience I’ve ever had. I’ve done many tours in different countries, ranging in length and style, and nothing has compared to this one. Everything was incredibly well-organized and effortless on my end. They provided literally everything we needed, which made the whole experience stress-free. Emanuel was super responsive and helpful, answering all my questions both before and after the tour. We did the 4-day, 3-night camping tour and saw amazing wildlife, with knowledgeable guides who helped us understand and appreciate what we were seeing. I couldn’t recommend this company more!

4Days in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire - I traveled around Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire National Parks for 4 days and it was so awesome!! I can definitely say that it is the best experience I have ever had in my life. The price was very reasonable, and more than anything, the chef was really good at cooking, worthy of being a Michelin chef. The food is delicious, the scenery and animals are so cool... is there more to say? Highly recommended if you want to make unforgettable memories for a lifetime!!

Nature, emotions and culture, an unforgettable Safari - First of all, if you are wondering (as we are) if Crater Explorer Tours and Safaris is reliable, I can assure you that despite the fears we were followed from beginning to end. Emanuel was very kind, guided us by message and answered all our questions and requests remotely. Arrived at the airport we were greeted by the driver who took us to Arusha, where Emanuel himself showed us the Safari program.
Personally we chose the 5-day safari and warned, under the guidance of John - our guide as prepared as from the heart - endless animal species. When we also spotted the fourth and fifth of the Big 5, leopard and rhino, he was more excited than we were. Emanuel our cook, however, delighted us for days with dishes that we already miss. The food is good, lovingly cooked, and quite varied. Tanzanian customs get into your heart and you end up getting used to them. Especially smiles, accompanied by the inevitable ‘Hakuna Matata’.
To do at least once in a lifetime!

Amazing Safari Experience - We were thoroughly impressed with the whole Safari experience. There were no hidden fees, the camp sites were better than we thought and the whole staff was just very nice and professional. It was all very well organised from hotel before and after safari to meals and toilet breaks during the trip. The guide was excellent, friendly and always adapting to what the group needed. The chef was wonderful as well - we all loved the food we were getting every single day. We'd definitely recommend the safari with this company!

Unforgettable safari experience - Our safari with Crater Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure! The team exceeded all expectations, going above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. Emmanuel was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and passionate, making sure every aspect of our trip was perfect.
Not only was the food amazing—fresh, delicious, and plentiful—but the team also worked tirelessly to show us the incredible wildlife these parks have to offer. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, we were incredibly lucky to see the Big 5, along with countless other animals. It felt like a dream come true!
I can’t recommend Crater Safari highly enough. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and passion for creating unforgettable experiences made this journey truly magical. If you’re planning a safari, look no further—Crater Safari is the way to go!

Well organised and great value safari! - I can’t recommend crater explorers highly enough, if you are searching for the best place to book your safari trip on a budget look no further.
Emmanuel was kind, helpful and answered all of my queries promptly. The trip was well organised, with everything taken care of for you so you don’t have to stress and can just fully enjoy the experience. We saw 4 of the big 5, including some intense encounters with elephants and lions, whilst always feeling safe. You can’t believe how many wild animals you see in the Serengeti and Ngorogoro is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been
The campsites were ideal with the tents pre erected with good facilities. The food was plentiful tasty and clean thanks to chef Titus. Our guide Lewis was knowledgeable, friendly and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying it.
I think the pricing is with crater is very competitive, I was worried that it might be cheaper to book in Tanzania itself but I checked with a few local places once I landed and was only quoted much higher prices than paid with Emmanuel. Also from asking around whilst on safari it seems crater explores do the best deal

Great Safari - Our safari experience was great! The staff was well organized, and all communication, handled via WhatsApp, was smooth and efficient. The tour guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the animals and the parks.
We chose a camping safari and visited Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Serengeti. The sights were incredible, and we were lucky enough to see the Big 5 along with so many other animals. The food provided was excellent, and the camping logistics were good managed.
The company collaborates with smaller operators, but this did not affect the quality at all. In fact, the partner company we encountered had top reviews, and their service matched our expectations. Overall, the experience offered exceptional value for money, and I would highly recommend booking with this company for your safari adventure!
