Wonderful experience with plenty of animal sightings and great food - The 3-day trip was amazing. We saw so many animals that I was able to cross off my wish-to-see list. Seeing lions, cheetahs and leopards is normally quite rare (I haven’t been able to see them on previous safaris) but we were able to observe them all up close even on our first day. Other animals we saw included elephants, zebras, buffalos, antelopes, baboons and so many more. The optional trip to a Maasai village was interesting and worth a visit too. The food was delicious and dietary restrictions were handled very well and creatively. The effort and care that our tour guide and chef put into this trip truly made it special. Would definitely recommend!

Spotted the big five and more! - Had an amazing trip. Guide is very knowledgeable and caring. Because of his effort (and a good bit of luck) we spotted the big five and many more! Excellent breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the way thanks to the chef and other staff. Great value for money.

Great experience! - Assad was really great, he took very good care of us and he went above and beyond to show us all the animals on the Serengeti and Ngorogoro. We saw so many lions and even cheeta’s and black rhinos. The tour was very well organized and the food was amazing.

Best guide and safari - It was the best part of my trip. Everything was great and Assad is an excellent guide, he knew how to answer all my questions before the safari because we were quite stressed to make one.

Absolutely recommend! - A safari with Pazuri Porini Safaris is highly recommended!
I never thought you could get so close to so many wild animals in such a short time!
I was very grateful to Assad, the organizer, for his tips and support in advance - he took care of everything very reliably!
At the safari we were a group of 6 people, very quickly a good community emerged. Our guide Praise and our chef Pasco have always provided a good atmosphere!
Praise was able to tell a lot about the different animals and the environment. We learned a lot! He drove us to the most beautiful corners of Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and tracked down an incredible number of animals!
Previously I had some concerns about the food, but also in this regard I was absolutely positively surprised! There was always more than enough very delicious food!
On the first day we were picked up from the various accommodations at around 6am and arrived in the early afternoon at Serengeti National Park. There were regular toilet breaks and stops for breakfast and lunch.
Already on the first afternoon in the Serengeti we saw 4 of the Big Five! It was totally impressive how close we got to the animals!
In the evening we ate together at camp. Here you have to be aware that this has nothing to do with luxury. The next morning we continued through the Serengeti until noon, then we drove to our camp at Ngorongoro Crater. The second camp was of a slightly higher standard. Here we had a very convivial and fun evening, there was even a campfire. On the third day we drove through the Ngorongoro crater - this is where I liked the most with the varied landscape! We even observed lionesses hunting buffaloes!
After lunch at the camp, we headed back towards Arusha.
There is always the possibility to go to the toilet, but you should bring toilet paper and hand sanitizer. In addition, you should not underestimate how cold it can get in the early morning hours and at least have a sweater or jacket with you.
All in all it was a unique experience that I would recommend to anyone!

The best safari company! - We have just completed an epic few days of safari with Assad from Pazuri Porini safaris. Our experience with this company and with Assad was the best we could ever ask for and it was the best safari we have ever done, I would highly recommend everyone to book with Assad without any hesitation. Everything from the beginning to end was organised professionally and in a friendly way, all my questions during our initial communications through whatsapp were answered in great detail and Assad even suggested amendments to my initial plan to make sure we have the best experience possible according to the time of year and the animal movements. Because of his excellent knowledge and suggestions we saw everything we wanted to see from our safari in Ndutu south Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, including all of the big 5, the great wildebeest migration, and even saw rare sightings of leopard and cheetah with their cubs. During the safari Assad was always on the lookout for the highlights of things to see, equipped with his binoculars and could spot rare animals and their movements from so far away that we would otherwise never even notice, and made sure to drive us towards the most strategic positions to se them up close and ensure we get the best possible views of all the animals. During our game drives we were always in the best positions to capture the movements and take great photos of the animals, while most of the other cars didn't see what we were able to see because they were not in the optimal viewing position like we were. Not only a great driver but Assad also gave us so much information about the animals and was able to answer every curious question we had about them, about their behaviours, life cycle, diet, and so many other details, not only just about the animals but the masai tribes who live among them and also the trees and landscape around us. The safari vehicle we were in was very comfortable and clean, and came stocked with plenty of cold drinks in the cooler to keep us hydrated during the drives. The meals we ate in the lodge as well as the packed hot lunches were all excellent and tasty. We have no complaints about anything and highly recommend this company to all potential guests

The best guide ever - My girlfriend and I went last summer to Serengeti and ngoro ngoro and Assad was our driver but he is an excellent guide. He was able to spot all animals in advance letting us see them easily and explaining their habits and other things I didn’t know. He is a kind person and always available. He speaks English very well and he is always clear and explains everything very well. Thanks to him, the safari was special and without him it hadn’t been the same. I would highly recommend him. He will try to teach you swahili!

Amazing Serengeti & Ngorongoro Safari Expereince - Had an amazing experience with lots of wild animals giraffe, lions, zebra, elephant, buffalo, wilder beasts, birds, hippos, timon & pumba, crocodile, antelope, ghazel, hyena, baboon, seval cat, rihno and so on and on. We could see the animal migration through Serengeti. I really liked my guide that was very helpful, and had great knowledge regarding the animals. Knowledge of our jeep when we had a flat tire. Everything was well organized and cared for food, accommodations, water, drinks was included (only beer and no wine). The reason for not giving full stars was mainly the unexpected stop-by (visit) at a Maasai village tribe. Where only me and my sister from a group of seven was expected to pay entry ticket (the rest of group had payed during their booking) but we had not been informed of these when booking. It would have been nicer to use these 2h in the Serengeti or being informed prior booking. It was also expected of us to purchase at the Maasai village and give a large donation to their school. It is also clear that it is a tourist experience, with all the stops for lunch, and bathroom having tourists shops for souvenirs. However being on my holiday it wasn't all that bad. The accommodation also did not have electricity during sleeping hours (in Serengeti), so charging of phones was difficult. I'd recommend a power bank. We stayed in tents for Ngorongoro which I really loved! All in all very service minded, we had a chef, a driver, a coordinator, and a guide. It is expected to tip generously each person and there is not ATM in the wilderness... The feeling of "expected to tip" that is a cultural difference for me brought down the all and all experience. However I would do it all over again if I could. Thank you Serengeti!

Great Safari Tour Company - We were warmly welcomed by the organiser of the safari, Assad. He met us prior to the safari and gave us a briefing of what the days would entail. The safari went well, there was a good supply of drinks (alcohol and non alcohol) and food was provided (picnic at lunch).
We were particularly impressed with the organiser because he met us and also sought our feedback at the end of the safari. We enjoyed the safari and would highly recommend this company, with thanks to Assad.
