Posted on Tripadvisor Navigate22212687815Verified Amazing Safari experience We has a fantastic experience with Budget safaris Tanzania . Noel our tour operator was very efficient and helpful. Our accommodation was perfect in one of the lodges with our own private bathroom. The food and service was very good. Our Safari driver was very knowledgeable and rushed to where the lions were so that we had a great view before other operators parked up.Posted on Tripadvisor annamarieocarrollVerified Budget Safari with high standards The service provided by Noel in Budget Safari was very good. Despite only booking our two day safari last minute, Noel responded to our query very quick & provided a reasonable quote despite being last minute. We were kept informed via text, & pick up / drop off / lodge & food provided was really good & very efficient. Our driver was very knowledgeable & engaged with us throughout our trip. Overall the trip was very well organised & I would highly recommend Budget Safari Tanzania!

I would definitiv do it again. Our Guide ritchard was Great and told us everything we want to knowPosted on Tripadvisor Elena SVerified Great Safari with lots of animals The Safari was great, we saw a lot of wild animals. It really was an adventure, especially sleeping in tents in the camps. The Tourguide was very friendly and we had a great time. The food was also really tasty.Posted on Tripadvisor Mark KVerified Memorable adventure We’ve just returned from the six-day safari in Tanzania and overall it was an incredible experience. The wildlife sightings were outstanding, the landscapes were breathtaking, and our guides was knowledgeable, patient and clearly passionate about the parks. We felt safe, well looked after, and the food prepared at camp was surprisingly good. That said, for anyone choosing the camping option, there are a few practical things worth knowing in advance... Towels were not provided, so you’ll need to bring your own. Pillows were also not always available, which made some nights a little less comfortable. In addition, the sleeping bags provided have clearly been well-used. While functional and warm enough, some had a noticeable odour. If you’re sensitive to that sort of thing, you may prefer to bring your own sleeping bag liner or even your own bag if space allows. None of this took away from the magic of seeing Tanzania’s wildlife up close, but better communication beforehand about what is (and isn’t) included would help manage expectations. Overall, it was a memorable adventure and great value for money — just go prepared if you’re camping.Posted on Tripadvisor JuliusVerified Great experience, great service Great experience and Noel arranged everything for us with great care. We flew from Zanzibar and back, all our tickets and airport transfers were handled great. Recommended!Posted on Tripadvisor Darling SVerified African American guests are treated extremely well. I had the best experience with this company. The accommodation at Fig Tree Lodge was my favorite. Because for the first time in Tanzania, I was treated not less than, but better than the Europeans. Special recognition to Willie at the lodge, who always addressed me with respect and looked at me only when he spoke to the entire group. My guide on the second day, Justin also was very polite and treated me well. He always made sure that I was satisfied with taking photos before he moved onto the next location. Thank you to Budget Safari Tanzania for recognizing that their black guests are just as, if not more important than the Europeans. I will recommend you to all of my friends, 100%.
