Connector383921896342023-05-16Verified Zanzibar Thomas is a true professional travel guide and you don't need any other to make your trip perfect!!! Giorgio C2022-08-16Verified Great tour and amazing Safari This experience need to be written because it is something that remain for all life. The driver was attending us at the airport despite the late and the guide of Tarangiri was fully preparate. One of the best experience in my life. The lodge between the nights of safari is clean and comfortable and it seems you are in a 5 stars hotel. Thomas is always care about you, trust him.Experience that I need to suggest to everyone. Vincent2021-11-18Verified More than a Safari Trip I had no idea I'd be getting much more than a tour to see wild animals. Frank was the best driver we could've asked for (Franks Ferrari Safari!!), and he knew more than we thought there was to know.It all started when we met Thomas, our guide, in Zanzibar. He turned 4 days of safari into a story that will stay with me forever. Arusha park, Manyara, Tarangire and Ngorongoro are almost impossible to pronounce but most definitely impossible to forget. We started our travels with this man as our guide and we finished it with a new brother. He took us beyond the touristy African planes and opened the doors of his home. I'm not sure when I'll be back there, but I'll always remember the man who befriended us, showed us his home and shot me a smile at all the songs I played wile driving trough the wild. Casey-lee D2021-11-15Verified READ THIS REVIEW ! This was a lifetime experience I will honestly never forget. Thomas and Frankie went ABOVE AND BEYOND all expectations. They were more than guides, they were friends we will never forget. After the tour we were even personally invited to his home to meet his children and family and were given a local tour of the school. The parks were beautiful and there wasn’t a single question left unanswered. In the day we saw plenty of wildlife and in the evening we got our asses whipped at the local bars pool table. Would highly recommend. Cannot wait to be back with Uncle Frankies Ferrari Safari. Jonathan2021-11-14Verified Safari Amazing experience, good guide and good Prices. We had the best time and saw all the animals that we wanted to see. Woud recommend! Clara & Joelle2021-09-13Verified Great experience We did the Safari at Tarangire, Nrongoro and Lake Manyara and enjoyed it a lot. The driver was really kind and told us many things about nature and animals. The camp where we stayed at night didnt meet our expectations. In the tent it was really loud at night and the food that our group has gotten was not really tasty and different to other groups food at the Restaurant. Anyways the Safari was the most important part for us and this was a very overwhelming experience. We liked it a lot!
