        Amazing safari! Highly recommend!
        I enjoyed the 3 day Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater safari - mid range lodge option - in January 2025. My experience with Crater Explorer Tours and Safaris was absolutely immaculate from start to finish! I’d like to extend a massive thank you to Emanuel for organising this trip for me! Emanuel was professional and responsive at all times and organised everything that I asked for. The inclusion of airport transfers and hotel stay before and after the trip was greatly appreciated and very helpful! The tour itself was incredible! Amazing sightings, guide, and wonderful food and accommodation. I even received a wonderful upgrade to my accommodation on my final night in the crater as the original one that was quoted to me was booked! I am so grateful for this tour and the amazing company that Crater Explorer Tours and Safaris is. I highly recommend them if you are planning a trip to Tanzania!

        Great experience
        Serengeti and Ngorongora Crater have been on my bucket list for a while and I'm glad I went with Crater Explorers. They handled everything from the airport transfers, to the hotel accommodation before and after the safari, and the safari itself.

        4Days in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire
        I traveled around Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire National Parks for 4 days and it was so awesome!! I can definitely say that it is the best experience I have ever had in my life. The price was very reasonable, and more than anything, the chef was really good at cooking, worthy of being a Michelin chef. The food is delicious, the scenery and animals are so cool... is there more to say? Highly recommended if you want to make unforgettable memories for a lifetime!!

        Nice Safari tour
        We are Korean tourist and it was our first trip to Tanzania. Tour guide came to our hotel to explain our schedule a day before safari. During tour we've seen a lot of animals and nice views. Also they offer really nice foods and expert explanation of animals. I really recommend.

        Amazing Safari! I recommend Crater Explorer with my eyes closed!
        We did 4 days of Safari, we started with Tarangire, next Seregenti and finally Ngongoro. It was amazing, my friend and I would have unforgettable memories of this trip! Emanuel who planned the safari was really kind and attentive, as John, our guide during the safari. We had the chance to see the big five! John is a fabulous guide, he always took the time to explain everything. we spent a really good time with him and the chef cook Emanuel (he cooked everyday for us very very good meals). I recommend Crater Explorer and I hope I will do an other safari with them! Thanks again to Emanuel, John and Emanuel (the cook)!

        Amazing Safari Experience
        We were thoroughly impressed with the whole Safari experience. There were no hidden fees, the camp sites were better than we thought and the whole staff was just very nice and professional. It was all very well organised from hotel before and after safari to meals and toilet breaks during the trip. The guide was excellent, friendly and always adapting to what the group needed. The chef was wonderful as well - we all loved the food we were getting every single day. We'd definitely recommend the safari with this company!

        Unforgettable safari experience
        Our safari with Crater Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure! The team exceeded all expectations, going above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. Emmanuel was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and passionate, making sure every aspect of our trip was perfect. Not only was the food amazing—fresh, delicious, and plentiful—but the team also worked tirelessly to show us the incredible wildlife these parks have to offer. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, we were incredibly lucky to see the Big 5, along with countless other animals. It felt like a dream come true! I can’t recommend Crater Safari highly enough. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and passion for creating unforgettable experiences made this journey truly magical. If you’re planning a safari, look no further—Crater Safari is the way to go!

        Well organised and great value safari!
        I can’t recommend crater explorers highly enough, if you are searching for the best place to book your safari trip on a budget look no further. Emmanuel was kind, helpful and answered all of my queries promptly. The trip was well organised, with everything taken care of for you so you don’t have to stress and can just fully enjoy the experience. We saw 4 of the big 5, including some intense encounters with elephants and lions, whilst always feeling safe. You can’t believe how many wild animals you see in the Serengeti and Ngorogoro is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been The campsites were ideal with the tents pre erected with good facilities. The food was plentiful tasty and clean thanks to chef Titus. Our guide Lewis was knowledgeable, friendly and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying it. I think the pricing is with crater is very competitive, I was worried that it might be cheaper to book in Tanzania itself but I checked with a few local places once I landed and was only quoted much higher prices than paid with Emmanuel. Also from asking around whilst on safari it seems crater explores do the best deal

        Great Safari
        Our safari experience was great! The staff was well organized, and all communication, handled via WhatsApp, was smooth and efficient. The tour guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the animals and the parks. We chose a camping safari and visited Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Serengeti. The sights were incredible, and we were lucky enough to see the Big 5 along with so many other animals. The food provided was excellent, and the camping logistics were good managed. The company collaborates with smaller operators, but this did not affect the quality at all. In fact, the partner company we encountered had top reviews, and their service matched our expectations. Overall, the experience offered exceptional value for money, and I would highly recommend booking with this company for your safari adventure!

        Amazing Tanzania Safari Experience with Crater Explorer
        We had a memorable 5-day safari adventure in Tanzania, booked with Crater Explorer. From beginning to end, the experience went beyond our expectations. Emmanuel made it stress-free and easy to put everything together. Our driver and guide Robert was very friendly, very hilarious, so the tour with him was not just informative but a real fun trip. Rasheed the cook did some incredible meals that kept us boosted up and looking forward to each day's adventures. The whole package was well worth the cost. All the accommodations—pre, during, and post-safari—were comfortable, well-maintained, and inviting. My wife and I are already talking about doing this again sometime down the road. P.S. Tanzanians are some of the friendliest people we have ever met, including those met walking around Arusha. Highly recommend Crater Explorer for anyone considering a safari in Tanzania! 🌍🦁

        We visited three different national parks: Ngorogoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire. We enjoyed a lot as we felt very accompanied by the guide and the organizers. They ensured hospitality and disponibility along all three days. We stayed at Suricata Boma Lodge: an undescriptible experience. Lovely views in front of Lake Manyara. 100% recommendable

      Organising the tour through Crater was super easy. Emanuel was very communicative and easy to deal with before we arrived.

      They arranged pick up from the airport and a hotel on either side of the tour, which took all the hassle out of travel.

      We did the 3 day tour which included Ngorongoro crater, manyara lake and tarangire national park. What an experience. Our driver knew where to go to get the best views of the animals, plus we had a bit of luck on our side.

      The hotel we stayed at during the tour was amazing, really luxurious. A special treat overlooking the lake.

      My kids and I had the best experience, once in a lifetime. Crater were brilliant value for money, starting out as an organisation and tried hard to ensure we enjoyed every minute. Relaxed and easy going too, which was a bonus.

      My wife and I had an incredible Safari experience and we would both highly recommend Crater Explorer Tours.

      Our accommodation was fantastic and if we are being honest, better than we had hoped for.

      Emanuel our tour operator was always available if we had any questions, so we always felt like we knew what was going on through the whole trip.

      The safaris themselves are a must see for anyone and a real bucket list experience.

      Overall we felt 100% safe and assured the whole time and would not hesitate to recommend.

      We booked a 3 day safari through crater explorer which was brilliant. They picked us up from Arusha airport and transport was included through out the trip between the parks meaning this was worry free. The hotels and lodges were all clean and modern with nice food. We had guides on the trips that were knowledgeable and were lucky to see so much wildlife. Communication from the company has been quick and helpful. I would recommend using this company if you are coming to Tanzania- we had a great experience. August is a good time to come because we were told it is dry season meaning the animals are easier to spot in the undergrowth
