John is an incredible and attentive guide with a huge knowlege. Thanks to his amazing feeling for animals, we often were alone on a sight.
He took care of each individual wish and tried to create the best experiences for each one of us. We had a very intensive exchange when planning the trip to Tansania and the communication was always easy and response very prompt.
John became a friend during planning and especially during our travels wirh him and we miss his happy and positive manner
We can hearthly recommend John and Allure Travels to everybody.

My sister and I spent a week in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area with John Exaudi, owner and operator of Allure African Safaris. John is a brilliant guide, and led us on an unforgettable journey through three distinct and beautiful wildlife parks of Tanzania. Every day was a new adventure, as John is truly an "animal whisperer." We ate a delicious box lunch in his well outfitted truck, while silently observing two lionesses nurse their 8 tiny cubs. John spotted a leopardess up in a tree, and then pointed out her baby cub hiding in the grass below. A cheetah mother and son pair lounged under a tree while we gazed in quiet awe. Other tour groups buzzed by with a few camera clicks of a couple older cubs with their mothers...we stayed long enough to watch five more cubs emerge from the tall grass and practice stalking the wildebeest. He booked us in a variety of lodges and tent camps, each one with a unique character and charm. We knew from overhearing the other guests that we were on a truly magical journey with an especially gifted tour guide. John is intuitive, patient, and respectful---and always maintains a perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism. We enjoyed his stories, appreciated his knowledge, depended on his expertise, and loved his warm spirit. I highly recommend you go on safari, and that you do so with Allure African Safaris and John Exaudi!

We have just returned from an unforgettable safari organized by Allure African Safaris LTD.
During 8 days, John, our guide and the owner of Allure African Safaris, took us on a fantastic journey through the Tarangeti, Lake Manyara and Serengeti parks. We lost count of the number of lions, elephants, giraffes, and hippos we saw, in so many different settings. (We even saw the very rare and shy Rhino one day, although from a good distance). But we didn't loose count of the much rarer cheetahs (18) and leopards (5) that John led us to, some of them hunting, some of them eating their prey right in front of our eyes. John was an outstanding guide. In the Serengeti he took us off the main roads (where the safari vehicles are many) into landscape in which we were entirely alone. One day we drove for 6 hours without seeing another vehicle – in peak tourist season! (August) – instead we saw hunting lions (among many other animals). We were all alone in this incredible landscape - it was truly special. In Lake Manyara we saw thousands of pelikans and flamingos, at one point stirred into the air but big herds of wilderbeests. So the bottom line is that we can recommend Allure African Safari to anybody. John is an extremely experienced guide and a great person with a real sense of humor, which is important when you spent 8-10 hours together in a jeep day after day. We organized our trip directly with Allure African Safari; in fact John organized it for us after a few exchanges of what we would like to do. We stayed in very comfortable lodges
both inside and outside the parks. Allure African Safari is a small company in which one can have 100 % confidence – but plan in good time if your want to make sure John is your guide.
We are going back for sure.

John, our guide took us on an epic journey through several national parks and conservation areas in Tanzania. We saw so many animals, learned a lot and have the best time. John is a naturalist and has a ton of knowledge on just about everything. For an authentic, amazing African experience this is the way to go.

We had an excellent climb up Mt Meru.
Stanley, our guide was extremely supportive..... confident that we would be able to reach the summit. It was not an easy climb for my husband and I, both in our 60's, but our guide Stanley, with the help of the porters and cook made it a wonderful, memorable experience! I would highly recommend Allure travel and John's staff for any travels throughout Tanzania.

John was our safari guide and provide excellent support throughout the safari to make it a memorable experience. John was an superior guide and knew how to find a wide variety of animals and provide detailed information on the wildlife. We did two nights of tent camping (glamping) and had very nice accommodations (Domel). Overall would highly recommend Allure Safaris and John. The adventure of a lifetime and with the attention to detail John provided was a rousing success.

This was my first safari experience and it totally exceeded my expectations!
John was a friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled guide. He got us up close to every animal I wanted to see (and some I had never even heard of). He was quick with an animal fact and a joke every time we stopped and I always felt safe in his vehicle.
I'm sure every safari company will make sure you see some animals, but there was something special about riding with John. We would often find ourselves alone, the only group watching amazing sights (a sleeping family of Lions, a mother Cheetah with her cubs, a female lion stalking her Zebra prey) before a bunch of other safari vehicles would arrive minutes later, jockeying for position. With John we were always the first to see with the best view.
Thanks John!

We recently returned from an incredible safari with John of Allure African safaris! John is a walking encyclopedia of animal, bird and plant knowledge. He took great care of us during our 4 day trip to Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. We saw lions, cheetahs, giraffes, elephants, zebras, wildebeests, impalas, baboons, Cape buffalos and so much more! He answered my endless questions and is an excellent driver and guide. I always felt safe. We were a party of 6 and the safari vehicle was comfortable for all of us and all our stuff. John is everything you would want - and more - in a safari guide. Highly recommend!!

Our safari with John of Allure African Safaris was amazing! John is very knowledgeable about all the wildlife and their behaviors as well as Serengeti National Park where we visited. He is friendly and warm and also professional, and speaks great English! Allure African Safaris was such an amazing company to travel with because all reservations were taken care of, exceeded expectations, and were affordable. What a trip! Thanks to John, we saw all of the "big five" animals, and had some truly breathtaking encounters, like when John took us to see a sleeping family of lions that was tucked away in the grass; he goes above and beyond to make sure his customers have a once-in-a-lifetime safari. Thank you Allure African Safaris!

We had an amazing safari with Allure African Safari. John is the animal whisperer and seems to know exactly where to go to see the animals in action. We traveled to the Serengeti and stayed at the Domel Camp which was tucked on the hillside with comfortable platform tents with showers.... best shower I've had in East Africa! The beds were super comfy and the hosts wonderful. While in the Serengeti we saw a serval cat (up close), a cheetah and her cubs, a lion preying on zebras, a leopard climbing out of a tree with her cub and so much more. John's knowledge of the animals and their behavior allowed us to see so much and we learned quite a bit about each animal's life cycle. He also has strong knowledge of birds which was an added bonus. After the Serengeti we headed to the Ngorongoro Crater where we saw a newly born gazelle try to stand. I highly recommend John ... he designs the safari based on the client's interest, is affordable, and a super nice human being. He is an excellent driver, very attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Totally recommend Allure African Safari!
