All in all, thank you Emmanuel for such life experience

The planning and the communication in advance with Emanuel from Crater Explorer was great and everything... read more was perfectly prepared. In Tansania he was available all the time and took care of everything (we lost a pocket somewhere at a Lodge and he arranged the transport of it, while we were on Safari, to the place we stayed afterwards, thanks for that again). He also arranged a city tour in Arusha for us. Best recommendation.

  We chose Emmanuel and Crater Explorer Tours and Safaris for a 3 day safari in Serengeti park and Ngorongoro crater. We came for our honeymoon and we thank Emmanuel from... read more the bottom of our hearts for his perfect organisation. We were taken care of from start to finish (our luggage was lost and Emmanuel brought it back to us within 24 hours) and the group on our safari was really great.

Emanuel answered almost instantly to all questions, gave a clear explanation. As a result, everything planned came true. A team of 15 people climbed Kilimanjaro with us. They worked amazingly.

  We booked a five day safari camping tour and everything was very well organized.
Emanuel picked us up at the airport and gave us a indepth briefing about... read more the upcoming days at the hotel. The safari was well organized. Our guide, Aaron, was very experienced and our passionate chef, Nathanael (he is the best!), cooked very delicious food. The safari car was well equipped with cozy seats, a fridge with cool drinks, plugs to charge the smartphone and WiFi. For us it was a unique experience where we met many great people and got to expierince the beautiful wilderness of Africa. It was definitely worth the price.

Recommend!!

  Did a 3 day camping Safari (Ngorogoro and Serengeti), Emanuel is really helpful and easily reachable.
Everything went well.

  I had Serengeti 4nights 5days tour from 4th Dec. It was incredable time!! Emanuel, the operator, prepared all the schedule and found/sent my missing luggage from air port!(stupid Ethiopian... read more air!!rrr) Pascal, the driver, could find all animals and drove every where in Serengeti. Also, he knows everything about animals! Emanuel, the shef, he prepared verious meals every time, I could gain fat during the wild life!
All experience was much better than my expactation. Thank you a lot!!!!

  I chose this safari because of the positive reviews. I can confirm they are all true and you can trust it. Me and my wife, we decided to go for... read more the 3 days safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. They took care of us from the moment we got it touch and helped me solving doubts, questions and things prior, during and after the safari. They pick you up from the airport and drive you to the hotel (night before and after the safari included, also nice breakfast). Emmanuel (the owner) meets you at the hotel on your arrival and explains everything about the safari. Next day, Pascal (the driver - guide) and Emmanuel (the chef) pick you up for the safari. They are simply amazing. Pascal is very nice and has a big knowledge about everything (also a good English). Emmanuel is a lovely chef, you will be surprise with the food, I promise.

Lovely time if you are alone, in a couple or in a family. We got to know a group of 4 different people from different nationalities and it was all fun. We enjoyed a lot together finding the animals and visiting this lovely side of the world.

100% recommended. They will solve any potential issue you could have. They really care.

  Seriously the best value for your money...It was everything described and more! This truely is a great company to book with. Emmanuel the co-ordinator looked after everything from the... read more minute we got off the plane until he dropped us back off.
So very thankful for the characters and hospitality of our driver and chef. Pascel (our driver) was so knowledgeable and shared much with us. He treated us to an amazing game drive experience and his eyes for spotting wildlife was uncanny! Our chef Emmanuel (different from organizer) treated us like royalty and definitely knows how to cook. He surprised me from the minute he pulled out our first lunch. And oh that smile
Do not hesitate to book with these guys!!

  We did a 3 day, 2 night safari (Serengeti/Ngorongoro Crater) with Crater Explorer, Tours, and Safaris and LOVED it! Emanuel was super helpful in communicating with us before hand, answering... read more any questions and concerns we had. He met us at the hotel the evening we arrived, and was there the morning of our safari, introducing us to our guide and our cook. Pascal was an awesome guide, full of information on the animals, trees, plants, and more. He made sure we were comfortable and got the best out of our time. Our cook, Emanuel (another Emanuel) was incredible! We had so much delicious food and he spent so much time making sure we were well fed and taken care of. We saw lots of animals, and the trip was an affordable price! All in all, it was a great experience! I would highly recommend this company!

  Based on the good reviews we decided for this operator and a group safari over three days with Serengeti and ngorogoro crater. We chose the luxurious option and it was... read more totally worth it. At night it was cold and a tent was not enough for us.

The Serengeti has a lot of animals and you can see almost the complete big 5 on the first day. Our driver Emanuel knew the best places and drove quickly and safely. In addition, he was able to explain a lot about the animals, so that our three-day safari flew by. You always start at seven in the morning and you need a sweater then. During the day it is always warm.

After our landing in Arusha we were picked up by the operator Emanuel (yes the names are the same) and brought to the hotel. There the briefing took place and we paid directly everything in cash in dollars. In Germany, the communication went smoothly via WhatsApp.

The tented lodges are very comfortable and in ngorogoro crater we were even in a real hotel on top level with views over the crater from the room.

Lunch at the campsites was balanced, warm and delicious. From the lodges you can also take lunch boxes. In the evenings in the accommodations there were large buffets.
We could also spontaneously visit a Maasai village, which was not booked before and then cost 10 dollars. In return, we were allowed to take as many photos and videos as we wanted. In addition, one jumps with them and and can be explained by them in their huts their life.

All staff was very nice and there were no communication problems. You hear a lot about tipping and our operator said directly that they don't expect tips. However, we tipped upon departure from each lodge and upon return in Arusha. Any amount is possible. Recommended is at least $10 per safari participant per day each to the driver and cook. We tipped more because we were so satisfied. Both dollars and shillings were no problem. Euros are also possible, but the people in Tanzania have little use for them.

We were extremely satisfied with Crater Explorer, Tours and Safaris and I recommend this operator if you do not want to worry and enjoy the animals and nature.
