We had an amazing 3-day safari with Nature Travel Tanzania! 🦁🐘 Everything was perfect from start to finish. Our guide, Kim, was absolutely great, very friendly, knowledgeable and always making sure we were having a good time. Thanks to him, we were able to see so many animals. The food was also very good, the organization was smooth. It was a beautiful and unforgettable experience, and we would definitely recommend Nature Travel Tanzania to anyone looking to experience a safari in Tanzania. 😊

We did a three-day private safari through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with Ayubu (who speaks Spanish), and EVERYTHING was perfect. Ayubu was always attentive to our needs, adapting seamlessly to them. The entire safari was fantastic; we saw the Big Five of Africa thanks to Ayubu's knowledge and experience. He knew exactly where to go and how to find the animals. The hotels where we stayed (one of them inside the Serengeti) were very well chosen. It was truly an incredible experience, and we thoroughly enjoyed the "African massage." Thank you, Ayubu, for everything; it was a pleasure. I highly recommend going on safari with him.

Ayubu made our safari truly special with his knowledge, experience, and humour. He was amazing at spotting animals and ensured we saw all of the Big Five, along with unforgettable moments like a cheetah mother teaching her cubs to hunt. We learned so much about Tanzania and thoroughly enjoyed every moment.

An incredible experience thanks to the best guide, Ayubu. He was attentive, friendly, and charismatic; he knew the parks like the back of his hand, and we were able to see every animal imaginable. In short, we were thrilled and wholeheartedly recommend this adventure. Ayubu, we love you! Next time I come, I want to see a tiger!

Ayubu is an excellent guide and person. He was very attentive to us at all times and was very professional. His knowledge of everything related to safaris was incredible and made our experience unforgettable. His fluency in Spanish was a huge plus for this trip. Punctual, kind, friendly, and very charismatic. In short, the best guide I've ever met and the best at what he does!
