Customer Review
EXCELLENT Based on 53 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Alberto R.Verified Beautiful experience We went on two beautiful excursions, both experiences that we recommend! The first was a three-day safari at Mikumi National Park. It was a truly exciting and well-organized experience. We greatly appreciated the availability, professionalism, and kindness of our guide and the ranger, who were always attentive and ready to make the safari even more interesting and enjoyable. The second excursion was to Prison Island, a truly evocative place. The visit to the island was very beautiful, and especially the encounter with the splendid giant tortoises, which made the experience even more special. We were very satisfied with both excursions and the organization. Experiences absolutely recommended!Posted on Tripadvisor Laetitia BVerified Maassai village and Stonetown tour We experienced a fantastic moment in a Maassai village where we could witness their way of living. They were very friendly. We also did a tour of Stonetown with a very friendly guide who taught us many things about this city. I can only recommend this guide tour, Thomas is very thoughtful (he even gave us a nice gift), helpful and quick to respond. He is very friendly as were the driver and the guide. He also received bottles of water for the excursion which is a very nice touchPosted on Tripadvisor ANTONELLA2510Verified Fantastic Safari We went on a safari to the Serengeti and ngorongoro of 3 days and two nights.

It was a great experience! Our Guide Davie matched totally to our expectations and even humor. We did already some Safari so we can say that it was all well organized and Davie has great experience, we spotted all big five several times, and our favorite Cheetah:) of course it needs also luck but also experience and good eyes! We had a great week, we started our journey in Serengeti, then Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire to Arusha and the last day we had a nice walk to the waterfall and coffee plantation closed to Kilimajaro. So Davie picked as up in Seronera airport and dropped us at the Kilimajaro airport. They offer also a good price quality for the great service.Posted on Tripadvisor Lisa SVerified It's great! We booked a three-day safari in Tanzania through Ngatunga Tours. The airport pickup, accommodations and safari worked out great and it really was a nice experience! Even when we flew on to Zanzibar, Thomas the manager of Ngatunga Tours still supported us and organized us taxis and excursions. I am very satisfied, it was a wonderful holiday!Posted on Tripadvisor Simone NVerified All around great!! We first did a 3 day safari in Tanzania. Here we were in three different national parks. From arrival with pick up at the airport to safari and accommodation in the hotel everything was super organized. Thomas, the manager was always available via WhatsApp and responded very quickly. Then we flew on to Zanzibar. Again, everything went smoothly. Thomas organized us taxis as well as other day trips (Spice Tour/ Stone Town). Thank you for your hospitality and assistance at any time!
