We traveled for 1 month during this unusual times through Tanzania and were lucky to find the most amazing travel agent. We started with 3 weeks on Sansibar. A little dream come true and Paradies island close to mainland Tanzania. Equator to Arctic not only helped us with everything in regards to regulations and testing they also organized the most amazing little boutique hotels. We traveled the island with 3 different hotels to see as much as possible. But our favorite place on the island is definitely Pongwe Beach and Pongwe Beach Hotel. Small enough but not too small and with the most amazing beach on the whole island. We finished our days on Sansibar in Stonetown were we spent 2 interesting and eventful days in this beautiful old town part of the city. After that Chris organized a beautiful 1 week safari including Serengeti which was simply breathtaking. I have never seen so many animals in my past safaris in other countries. Chris is an outstanding guide. His warmhearted funny spirit and his endless knowledge about the wildlife and the nature made this trip as unique as it was. We are forever thankful to have spend this time with him and feel that we arrived as guests and left as friends.
For everyone interested in travelling Tanzania. My only and definite recommondation.
Thank you again Chris. I sincerely hope we will be back some time.
With all my best wishes

We experienced an absolutely unforgettable camping safari (Tarangire Nationalpark, Lake Natron, Serengeti Nationalpark, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Manyara Nationalpark) experience in late October 2020 with the company equator to arctic from Arusha. Due to the the Coronavirus and other challenges (bushfire on Kilimanjaro), we contacted the the company a few days before our flight to Tansania. The communication with them was amazing with very fast and perfect organisation of the safari trip and quick answers (including phone calls) to our several questions.
We travelled with our guide Christopher with excellent german and english language knowledge. He is a very experienced safari guide with so much knowledge about and love for the nature and all the animals (especially also birds) we were able to see. He took care about our special wishes and requests. Christopher is very nice and happy person as well as an excellent driver of the safari car, we always felt safe.
We were spoilt by the meals of our cook Benja. His meals are just amazing and he also fulfilled our wish to taste local meals.
We were provided by Corona-hygiene kits (sanitzier gel and masks) by the company.
The safari tent we were provided is spacious and the field beds very confortable.
Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience!!! I recommend Equater to Arctic Trekking and Safari to 100% for your safari!!!

We were on the road with Chris for 6 days just before Christmas and couldn't have imagined a better guide for the safari.
Our travel stops: Tarangire National Park, North and Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park.
From the pick-up at Kilimanjaro Airport to the departure at Arusha Airport, the entire trip was perfectly organized and left nothing to be desired.
Chris always says "Today just beautiful nature again, no animals ;-)", but he delivered every day and surprised us with ever more spectacular animal sightings. Be it the large herds, tree lions or elephant calves playing in the mud. We even saw all of the Big 5 in the Ngorongoro Crater in one day.
We can also particularly recommend the Tanzania Bush Camps in the Serengeti. Here you are really completely in the middle of the action and in the middle of nature.
Many, many thanks to Chris and the entire Equator to Arctic team for this unforgettable experience!

As a solo traveler I wanted to enjoy the two weeks safari without worrying about the logistics and cover all major destinations. Equator to Arctic planned every leg of my journey meticulously and to the perfection I was seeking. I was asked to just sit back enjoy the safari and they ensured that each day was executed as per the schedule. The travel arrangements including airport pickup, accommodation within the wildlife parks, food packs, 4x4 car and above all the safety part was given top priority. Thanks a lot to Zulfi - The man who leads the team from the front and Rashid - The guide, who gifted me one of the most memorable safaris. It was not easy boarding the flight back home but all good things has to come to an end. Based on my personal experience in Tanzania organized by Equator to Arctic, I would rate them high for their professional approach and classify them as "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED".

My review is a little longer, but an "everything is great" certainly helps the travel company in the rankings, but the reader is just as smart as before. I booked directly in Africa-Arusha with equatortoarcticsafaris. My contact was Kornelia. Kornelia put together an individual travel route for me and my grandson that met my wishes to see, observe and photograph as many animals and birds as possible. Kornelia also looked for beautiful accommodations in the middle of nature so that I had the opportunity to observe animals in the lodge or in the camps. Kornelia is not only an experienced travel expert, but is also enthusiastic about safari tours and accompanied us to Arusha National Park on the first day and showed us the beauty of the park and the animals in the park. I always had something to talk about with Isi, our guide and driver, an absolute bird expert. Isi is also a football fan and so my grandson always had something to talk about with Isi. On the 5th day of our safari, our off-road vehicle had a transmission problem. Isi drove us to the accommodation in a rental car, then back to the car, the mechanics came from Arusha (7 hours drive) and our off-road vehicle was repaired during the night
GREAT RESPECT for the action. The next morning we were able to continue our trip as planned. Overall we had a wonderful trip, we saw and photographed many birds and animals. We had warm encounters and experiences with the local people. My grandson played football with them, we ate and drank together, it was just lovely. I can recommend a safari trip with equatortoarcticsafaris to everyone, contact Kornelia and let her put together a trip tailored to your wishes and needs.

My boyfriend and me decided to book a very last minute 4 day camping Safari (to Ngorongoro crater, Tarangire national park and lake Manyara) when we were on Zanzibar. We chose equator to arctic mainly because of the super fast replies and the Price. In the end we got the best possible Safari experience with the most wonderful guide Christopher and our own cook Benja. We never had a better food not even in the best hotels.
In the first night we were camping directly in tarangire national park and the other two nights in a nice camp next to Ngorongoro/Karatu. We used the full days for game drives and additionally were very lucky with the animals.
Christopher knows everything you wanna know about everything around the parks and his german is perfect! He will make everything possible if you have extra wishes for places to go.
We didn’t expect such an absolutely perfect Safari. Expectations more than exceeded!!! Always again and highly recommendable.

Was für eine wunderbare Erfahrung. Was für eine professionelle Firma. Was für ein begeisternder, kluger, zugewandter und fröhlicher Guide. Christopher (spricht Deutsch) begleitete uns 7 Tage lange und hat uns seine Heimat wirklich nahe gebracht. Mit so vielen Einblicken in die Flora, Fauna und Kultur von Tansania. Unvergesslich!
Und so eindeutig, dass wir als Europäer viel von Afrika lernen können, was Gastfreundschaft, Humor, Gelassenheit und Hilfsbereitschaft angeht.
Alles, auch die anschließenden Tage auf Sansibar, waren perfekt organisiert.
Die Safari selbst war eine no-waste Tour, mit wunderbaren Stationen in den Zeltcamps, großartigem Essen und viel Insider-Erfahrungen, vor allem dank Christopher. Besser geht es nicht.

Four of us went on safari for 12 days: 2 days in Arusha National Park, 3 days in Tarangire, 1 day in Manyara, 4 days in Serengeti, 1 day in Ngorongoro and finally 1 day in Karuto Elephant Cave. The whole trip was very well organised from the first to the last moment and it was wonderful to spend so much time in the magnificent nature. Our driver Israel was always there and looked after us every day. He has a lot of experience and we saw an incredible number of animals - including the Big Five, of course ;) The accommodation was also very well chosen, especially the camps, which offered every comfort in a unique environment. The staff was lovely every time. We can recommend Equator to Arctic without reservation. Thanks again to Chris, Israel and the whole team!

I just finished the 7 day Machame Route to the summit of the Kilimandscharo and I can say: I couldn’t have a better guide and company than Richard and his team. From the very first moment I felt in good hands and I know I just made it to the top because of the experience and warmth care of my Tanzanian family :) everything was very well organized and everyone was very supportive. Richard has such a profound knowledge and experience in climbing the Kili. But above that I was really impressed by his ability to approach people and to sense one’s physical and mental condition in an instant.
Also I would like to mention Benjamin’s cooking skills! Three times a day I had a delicious meal made with fresh ingredients and with love.
I appreciate the help of everyone of the team: Richard, Benjamin, Juma, Given, Pendo, Gazper and Olavu. I thank you all for your hard work, kindness and patience with me. Asante sana :)
