        Amazing Safari and Great Guide
        We had the most amazing safari in Tanzania! We visited several parks, including the Serengeti, and saw everything—tons of animals, the migration, and even a couple of hunts! Our guide, Jackson, was the best! He was so knowledgeable, super patient (we asked a million questions), and somehow spotted animals we’d have never seen on our own. He even had the car washed a few times during the trip, which we really appreciated after some dusty drives! The company did a fantastic job organizing everything. It was a smooth experience. Highly recommend them if you’re planning a safari!

        Unforgettable Safari Experience!
        Our safari with Bestday was an incredible experience, from start to finish. Peter helped not only with advising us on which experience would be best for our timeframe and budget, but was also available while we were on safari and continued to make sure we had everything we needed throughout our journey. We really enjoyed the 5 day itinerary and being able to travel around Tanzania and see 4 different parks. All parks were also equipped with picnic areas and bathrooms, which we did not expect. While it's hard to pick our favorite part of the trip, a definite highlight was staying at Tukaone Tented Camp in Serengeti National Park. The accommodation was amazing, very spacious and clean. Staying inside of the park really added to the experience (one night we could hear a lion roaring in the distance). The staff there were so lovely and worked hard to give us a memorable experience. Lastly, I have to give a shoutout to our guide, Manu. He was so friendly and also extremely knowledgeable, answering all of our questions.

        Best safari with the best guides!
        We had a wonderful 4 day safari with John & Anock! Their eyes are truly from another planet. How they spotted a rhino from so far away was incredible! We saw 4 from the big 5 on day one and saw a leopard twice! When they both knew we had bird lovers in our group they did their best do search for them and name all the birds. It was a wonderful experience and we learned so much. We could ask all our questions, they waited if we wanted to observe the animals for a while. It was magical!

        Perfect Safari Experience
        Our first time on a Safari and in mainland Africa. The Bestday Safari Team were on point from start to finish. Excellent communication from Peter who organised everything and then a very warm and friendly welcome from our driver Freeman who picked us up and dropped us back to the airport. Our Safari guide John Massai, who we spent most of our days with, was amazing. His excellent knowledge of the animals, the land, the trees and plants, the people was brilliant. Any questions we had he could answer. Another very friendly and warm person who went out of his way to make sure we had a good experience. The free “African massage” is a phrase we will never forget. Thank you to everyone at Bestday for such an amazing experience.

        Thanks for these stunning memories!
        One of the best experience in my life. Days spent with our drivers (John and Joseph) were absolutely heartbreaking. They were always nice, funny and available for giving us additional info for the parks, but they were also professional and totally reliable. Fully recommended!

        Best Safari on earth
        I’m a tour leader of an international tour operator and I decided to book a 7 days safaris for my group of 14. That was simply AMAZING! The experience was very worth it, we saw all the animals we could spot in more than one occasion and our two drivers were just the best people we could pray to meet… compliments to Joseph and John for the awesome job done and the persons they are: love you rafikis!!!!

        Babou and 4 grandsons in the serengeti
        This was my second 5-day trip with best days safaris and both experiences were excellent. At the first safari I was still 82 years young and had choosen camping because of the nature experience. The guide was excellent and the travel companions, not unexpected, all much younger than me were very pleasant. When I promised to my four grandsons to take them on a safari trip it was clear that Best Day safaris was the unique choice and again I was fully satisfied. Our guide Gabriel could not be topped in knowledge and friendliness. Due to my advanced age, now 88 years, I followed the advice of the excellent manager Peter and took this time the tented camp version, the nature experience was comparable and the comfort incomparably higher. During the trip we enjoyed not only the nature experience but also the good and absolutely sure food: we had not the slightest stomach problems and now, beeing back in Heidelberg I feel better than before the trip. I had booked: Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire, overnight at Eileens Trees Inn | Octagon Lodge | Ngorongoro Corridor lodge Day 2: Tarangire to Serengeti National Park, overnight at Tukaone Camps | Shuhudia Adventure Camp Day 3: Full Day Serengeti, overnight at overnight at Tukaone Camps | Shuhudia Adventure Camp Day 4: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater | Karatu, overnight at Eileens Trees Inn | Octagon Lodge | | Ngorongoro Corridor lodge Day 5: Lake Manyara National Park, Just a side remark concerning the enthusiastic report: My students normally rated me as very critical.

        7 Day Custom Serengetti and Ngorongoro Tour
        We went on an amazing trip that started in Kilamanjaro Tanzania. Once arriving in Kilamanjaro our guide picked up the 5 of us at the airport. We stayed in Arusha Tanzania the first night to get rest from the long flight. The next day our guide Muro picked us up for the long journey. The roads were bumpy but the trip was well worth it. One of the our highlights was to see the Great Wilde beast MIgration. Our guide Muro and his knowledge and experience made that happen on the very first day when we were in the north Serengeti National Park. The experience was like nothing else. We sat and watched 1,000 or more wilde beast walk right by us away from the river, when they were halfway done some of them realized that they didn't want to walk away, they started making noises calling the rest of the heard and turned around and walked back toward the river. They all decided to cross the river. We were lucky because there were only 5 other vehicles there. Seeing the wilde beast migrate and the crocodiles come after them in the river was a once in a life time experience and definitely one of the highlights of our trip. We saw a hug biodiversity of animals everywhere in the Serengeti: lions, giraffe, wilde beast, zebras, kudos, dick dicks, cape buffalo, impala, Thompson's gazelles, grand gazelles, and so many different birds. The number of animals was large too. The Serengetti did not disappoint. We stayed in two different camps, one in the central Serengeti and one in the north Serengeti. The trip through the crater was also amazing. We saw so many different species of birds. Our guide Muro kept us safe at all times and was very conscious of our safety, he was knowledgeable of all of the different species and was patient with us whenever we wanted to stop for pictures. We all felt very comfortable with him and we enjoyed his presence during dinner and breakfast. We had box lunches when we were out on safari all day. You leave in the morning and do not come back to the camp until 6:00 pm-6:30 PM. The trip was definitely worth it and we all enjoyed every minute of it.

        Trip exceeded our expectations!
        We were able to customize our trip through Stephen, who was wonderful to deal with. There were 5 of us, two couples and a single. All from the U.S. We did a seven day tour of the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. We asked our guide, Muro, to show us an authentic native village. He found one and we toured it. It was not on our planned schedule but it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. We could not of have asked for a better guide than Muro. This was the third trip to Africa for our group, and we felt he was the best guide we ever had. There were no river crossings happening for a couple of weeks prior to us arriving. The first day we were out on the Serengeti there were nearly a hundred Landcruisers driving around, following herds of wildebeest hoping for a crossing. Nearly all left by late in the afternoon. We stayed late because we were staying in the nearby Tukaone tent camp. Muro made the right call and we and only 4 other Landcruisers were there when a herd crossed. We drove up to the edge of the Mara river and had a front row seat. Crocodiles took about 5 wildebeest as we watched and filmed. We also twice saw lions mating! We can't say enough about Muro. He was a very safe driver, and fun to be with. He pulled two other Landcruisers out, and a lot of the other guides would stop him and ask him for advice. He said he has been doing this for 18 years, and it was easy to see the respect the other guides had for him. He was very knowledgable and would point out all the different species. He pointed out over 50 species of birds and animals. We enjoyed having him be a part of our evening meal. We stayed in the Tukaone tent camp and the Heritage tent camp. Each for 3 days. They were very comfortable, having flushable toilets and showers in every tent. The food was good and everyone in both camps were very pleasant and attentive. Stephen at Bestday took care of having us picked up and dropped off at the airport, and had us stay at the Tulia on our first day in and our last day out. We did not see rhino's, but everyone in our group had seen them before. We also know how difficult it is becoming to see them. Other than that, the trip could not have been better. Thanks again to Stephen and Muro.

        Amazing experience with Best Day Safari
        We had a wonderful 4 day safari to Tarangeri, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with our amazing guide Isaac. Everything has been perfect, thanks to the manager Peter who answered all our questions immediately, I really appreciated it. Our guide has a lot of knowledge of wildlife, always interested in our needs and very respectful. We could learn a lot about wildlife and also about Tanzania and different cultures. We had so much fun together. A special thanks to Pius, an amazing cook. We recommend Best day safari, our guide and cook 100%!

      We did the 4-day budget safari covering Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. It was an unforgettable experience and we were very lucky to have Jackson as our driver/guide. Apart from being a master at spotting animals from afar, he is a very knowledgeable and pleasant person, and we much enjoyed his company and the stories he shared with us. We saw the big 5, and we managed to see a hunting cheetah and a leopard having his ‘lunch’ on the tree. The most special for me was observing breastfeeding lionesses and baby lions playing in Serengeti early morning. Also huge thanks to our chef Manuel who every day was preparing us very delicious food! Thank you, Jackson, Manual, and Bestday Safari for making our trip exceptional.

      We simply had an awesome time on this 4- day camping safari! Joseph, our driver-guide, is a very pleasant man who made our trip comfortable and eventful. He shared lots of interesting facts about the wildlife, the nature, as well as Tanzanian culture and indigenous tribes. He seemed to know the best areas to spot the big 9 (and more) and tried to accommodate our personal wishes throughout the tour. At the same time, he is extremely respectful of the nature and the wild animals. We highly recommend going on Safari with Joseph, he will make your time especially memorable!

      The food was also great. We have been on many short trips and hikes in Tanzania and beyond and this was simply the best. Thanks to the cook, Eduardo!
      We also recommend the camping tour as the campings spots are right in the middle of the national parks and you will never sleeps closer to wild animals again in your life.

      Overall the tour was well organized and everything worked out as we wished for, although, at times, the communication with the office was a bit complicated. Nonetheless, Bestdays Safari is a great (local !!) tour operator that we highly recommend to everyone!

      Very reliable tour operator, delivered what was promised including smooth logistics. The safari was a great success, not only did we see the big 5 but also very special scenes of animals including breastfeeding lions in the morning, cheetah chasing and catching pray, etc. Our guide/driver Jackson was very experienced and cool guy, he really knows the safari guiding insights which was an advantage to make the most of our safari experience. We also had an amazing chef Manuel who cooked delicious food during the excursion.

      Couldn't have picked better option to
      spend new year's eve than doing a safari with one of a kind bestday safari team David and the great chef Emanuel! Such nice and wonderful people - always checking if we were good, ensuring our best experience possible, to see the lions as close as possible without disturbing the animal's wild life. Also Emanuel was very thoughtful considering my gfs vegetarian diet and also that we had enough food to spend the whole day on this great adventure. Peter was also very kind with us - there was a misunderstanding and Peter was wonderful sorting it out so we really couldnt have asked for more. We can only recommend these guys, this team - they are really the best. Hakuna matata asante sana!!!

      Me and my friend (2 girls) went on a Safari with Bestday which we booked with a tour operator and had a good time with them. We felt safe and we were able to see so many animlas upfront.

      We were there in August and some nights get really cold so pls take some extra blankets with you for sure!

      We had a really great time. Everything was 100% professional. Before we arrived Peter answered all our questions and helped us to prepare. During the Safari, our guide and driver "Six" took care of us. Not only he showed us great places and amazing animals but also told a lot about Tanzania in general. His friend chef cooked every day and I have to say we were impressed by the quality of food. Even after the safari they helped us when our flight from Arusha was cancelled.
      I fully recommend this company.

      Safari was an amazing experience. We had a driver and a guide with Spanish knowledge all the safari because my parents do not speak English. They were really helpful and friendly, giving us tips and always trying to find the best for us in the safari, looking for different/not common spots and going the extra mile. Furthermore our driver was an skilful mechanic and helped the other cars when they had mechanical problems. An amazing experience with the best guides.

      We had truly memorable days in Serengeti, Ngorongo and Tarangire, thanks to our kind guide Jackson. He has great knowledge about all the parks, the animals and moreover the culture, which he likes to share with the clients.
      The camp sites were located inside of the parks, which was perfect for morning game drives. Another highlight besides the awesome parks and their animals were the tasty meals, prepared by Emmanuel. I would defentily recommend this tour together with those friendly persons.

      We were so lucky in that we got to see all the big 9 before day 3 was out. In different locations and settings. Each Park has its own beauty and draws you in uniquely.

      Our driver, Joseph, was the loveliest man. It was a pleasure to spend 4 days in his company. He is so knowledgeable about the animals, their habits, habitats and actually locations within the parks. We’re glad he was our guide. A good driver too - which helps!

      The accommodation chosen by Best Day Safaris is good too. You’re in a Lodge 2 nights and Glamping in the heart of the Serengeti for the middle night. The food is good, and the packed lunch provided is plentiful.
