This safari outfit is fantastic. We arranged a 5 day safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro) with about 2 weeks notice, and couldn't have asked for more from the boss, Humphrey, who responded promptly to all queries & shared detailed itineraries (including an updated one after a last minute change requested by us). His colleagues, Ali and Nuru, who helped us with transport and arranging an extra day of activities at the end, were really welcoming and made it all so easy! Having the transport to and from the airport included was a huge bonus, as was having a hotel included at the beginning and end of the safari.
The safari itself was magical - our driver, Deo, was amazing and his ability to spot wildlife in the distance was brilliant, as was his animal/bird facts and stories of the various destinations: his sense of humour was awesome too! He timed each day really well, so that we were in the perfect locations for sunrises / sunsets, and used his experience & knowledge of the national parks to find us great wildlife viewing opportunities.
We loved the camping, where we had delicious food (and lots of it) cooked by our very friendly chef, Tuma, each night (he also had great stories). The tent was the biggest 2 man tent I've ever seen, and we had no problems getting to sleep with the comfortable sleeping bags and mattresses provided.
After the safari, we did a half day trip (organised via Wildlife Oasis) to Materuni waterfall (one of the best waterfalls I've seen) followed by a coffee tour in the local village, where we were shown how to make our own coffee from scratch by the local tribe - delicious (even despite us being tea drinkers!)
Next time we visit Tanzania, we will 100% go with Wildlife Oasis again - the value for money is second to none, and we highly rated all the activities, the comfort and the amazing people in the organisation. It's a genuinely great outfit and you will have a...
Read moreHad a great experience with Wildlife Oasis Tours on a 3D/2N tour to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our guide Amani was very knowledgeable, polite and accommodating. Thanks to him, we saw a wealth of wildlife in a few days ( 75+ species of birds, 25 mammals). Food served was also good- had a great time overall. Would highly recommend this tour group. The one star deduction from a deserved 5 star rating is because of the sleeping bags provided. They were not very clean. Travellers are advised to carry their own inner liners if they are opting for the...
Read moreCerchiamo di riassumere la nostra esperienza così che possa magari esservi utile e "rassicurarvi". Circa un mesetto prima della partenza abbiamo trovato online questo tour con relativa offerta e li abbiamo contattati, ricevendo in breve tempo risposta da un tale Humprey (prima via mail poi via Whatsapp). Avendo avuto contatti solo in questo modo e non avendo anticipato alcuna somma, quando siamo atterrati all'aeroporto del Kilimangiaro eravamo un po' "agitati" ma, invece, il nostro autista era lì ad attenderci. Giunti all'hotel di appoggio per la notte pre e post safari (Jevas Hotel ad Arusha), ci ha accolto Alì, un ragazzo di non più di 20anni, che ci ha detto di essere il manager. Ci ha fatto un briefing per la giornata successiva e ci ha chiesto la metà dell'importo. La mattina successiva era in albergo per la seconda metà, prima della partenza per il safari. Un Tuk Tuk è poi passato a caricarci e ci siamo uniti ad un gruppo di altri ragazzi europei che, come noi ma con altri tour operator, avevano scelto di visitare il Tarangire, Serengeti e Ngorongoro. Il Safari è stato strepitoso, esperienza indimenticabile! L'autista e il cuoco sono stati molto professionali e ognuno di noi ha lasciato una mancia a proprio piacimento (considerate circa 5-10$ a testa al giorno). Grazie di tutto,...
