We had 5 days of Safari. First one day with our family in Arusha national park and than with the 2 ofus on a 4 day safari, First in Tarangire, then one day in Ngorogoro crater and Serengeti, a total day in Serengeti and on our way back again Serengeti and some other experiences.
It was a great and amazing experience we never had expected before for our first safari in life. Freddy our guide was so good, He noticed every animal and good spot and took a lot of time to show us exciting big animals but also enjoyable small and beautifull environments. We had very nice accomodations. One outside Ngorogoro and two nights in Serengeti in a luxery tent in the middle of Serengeti animals. We really loved the accomodations.
They have a fair price and did a great job of accommodating our needs.
Further on they arranged taxitrips and were very helpfull.
Thanks Damona Tanzania safaris and especially Freddy, Monica and James.
We definitly recommend Damona safaris. It all felt very personal

We started off in Tarangrie for an afternoon drive, David our driver was efficient and could spot anything from a mile away before you even had a chance to look, he answered every question i threw at him which was a lot.
We stayed at Maramboi tented camp, an amazing beautiful place which was surrounded with wildlife.
Next day we travelled to the Serengeti for 3 nights a long drive to the gate of the Serengeti but awesome views on the way, David stopped for many photo opportunities, once through the gate which was late afternoon we game drived to our accom, on the way we were fortunate to see a Leopard which is hard to find so thumbs up spotting it in our way.
We stayed at Suenos tented campsite fabulous place amoungest the roaring lions at night.
The next day had an all day game drive seeing many animals, David explained the migration even got out a map and showed us when, where they are at all times of the year. I applaud David in his knowledge of everything didn't matter what we asked he had the answer, he has such a passion for his job that it made me feel proud to have him as my driver, he seemed to know the places to be to see the animals, we spent 4 days in the Serengeti and I loved every minute of it, on the way out he took us into a special part a cheetahs breeding part of the Serengeti with a special permit, we were fortunate to see cheetahs plus an added bonus about 500 mtrs from the gate a group of Lions what a highlight as they came up to the truck sat around beautiful just beautiful.
We stayed in Karatu the night and next day went into Ngorongoro Crater, the crater never disappoints, we headed to Arusha and next day done a walking Dafatibin Arusha national park, was great to see Giraffe at ground level and be able to walk amoungeat them as well as Buffalo of course at a distance.
All in all had a fantastic time with DaMona Safaris certainly would use them again, they were efficient and re-arranged the itinerary to suit what I wanted, answered emails promptly when i was under a bit of time pressure to organise.
They also organised 4 days in Zanzibar so was great not to have to find accom was all included and went like clockwork.
Thanks again

We chose DaMona for our 20-day trip to Tanzania. We have not regretted it for a moment. Everything was perfectly organized, we checked in at every location without any problems! Upon arrival at the airport, we were picked up by David and Monica and we had a nice chat on a terrace going through the program of our trip. Our first drink in a nice local cafe was a fact. We were a bit nervous about whether we would spot the big 9... but with our guide Freddy that was no problem. After the 50th lion we stopped counting....truly unforgettable. What impressed us most is that Freddy (and by extension the entire DaMona team) really love Tanzania, the nature, the animals. They talk about it with pride and passion, but also with an almost inexhaustible knowledge (sorry for asking endless questions). When your guide stops somewhere and enthusiastically jumps up to take photos... then you know: this is not "a job", but this is a passion. We can only recommend DaMona: the personal service, the thinking along with you for your trip, the flexibility, ... really great!

We had a fantastic trip thanks to DaMona! From the moment we met them at the Vakantiebeurs in Utrecht, we have had pleasant contact, they think along well in putting together a tailor-made trip. The drivers who drove us through the parks are very experienced, know every corner and know how to quickly recognize special features. All lodges where we stayed were neat, clean and had an extensive buffet. DaMona even arranged a cake for me and my partner to celebrate our engagement and personally delivered it to one of our lodges. We were also able to visit a number of places where tourism has not yet struck and where you can still see pure, authentic culture. This trip had everything we hoped for, and even a little more. Recommended!

Damona Safaris is an excellent company to help plan your safari experience. We spent just about 19 days with them. Our guide, Freddie, was amazing and ridiculously knowledgable. He had so much information on just about everything and was extremely patient with all the questions and stops we asked of him. The other people within the company that we interacted with were all extremely helpful and friendly. They helped with all arrangements and suggestions of additional experiences for us. . We loved the "tent" nights the best and I would highly recommend staying at those more than hotels

We went on safari with Freddy this weekend. It was better then expected. On saterday, he would pick us up at 7am. He was already there 20 minutes before. He started with explaning everything about tanzania and the animals on safari. He did the safari with such enthousiasm, even after ten years. We have seen 4 animals of the big 5. And also a lion with her 2 cubs. So defenitely fantastic to go with Freddy on safari. The company even asked after every day how the safari has been that day.

I had an amazing 3 days safari to Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara National Park with DaMona Tanzania Safaris. Yes, I was expecting good service judging from their brand image but the experience was above my expectations. The staff was professional and had a charming sense of humor, I had no friends with me, but I felt like the guide/driver was like my life long one. 100% recommend.

People say that it is not possible to see the big five in one day in the Serengeti. But they don’t know DaMona yet!
We say them!
We had the most amazing time with DaMona, the Safari car is very nice, the guide is amazing and also all the information we got before was exactly how it really was.

In November 2022 we had a wonderfull trip with our family (4 persons) with Damona Safaris. It is obvious, we did the things like every tourist does in Tanzania, but we got a special feeling about this trip: the hotel in Karatu was choosen well, but especially the safari tents in the Serengeti were great!!. Thanks to Freddie the driver we got a good impression of the nature/animals, up to the last day ( we had a 4-day trip) we were glad that we had an experienced driver.
In Holland, we can see backwards to a wonderful time in Tanzania, thanks to Damona Safaris!!
