We had a dream trip organized by Corto Safaris and can only recommend them warmly. 8 days in Tarangire and Serengeti Parks, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and Dolly Farm for a horse ride.
Accustomed to organizing everything ourselves and being autonomous, we were reassured by the quality support of Corto Safaris throughout the preparation of the project and during the trip.
Marie was excellent advice during the preparation of the safari, responsive, listening to our desires and very clear in the various options proposed to best fit our expectations and budget. She answered all our questions in detail and we quickly felt confident and reassured.
The whole trip was extremely well organized, everything went smoothly and we were able to let ourselves be completely carried away, with confidence.
Our vehicle was in excellent condition, well equipped, well appointed and very comfortable, which is very appreciable on the slopes.
The lodges chosen were simply beautiful, and the reception in those managed by Corto was particularly excellent.
Thank you for the surprise dinner in the Serengeti, we were very touched by this gesture!
We were very sensitive to the waste reduction policy applied by Corto, one of the few agencies currently making this effort: we each received as a welcome gift a bottle that we could fill thanks to the 20L can attached to the car, and keep cool thanks to the mini fridge.
For picnics, instead of having sandwiches, pizza, salads or other individually wrapped in plastic, we were entitled to a real meal cooked by the lodge chef, stored in stainless steel containers and served on stainless steel plates. Stainless steel cup also for the afternoon coffee with tea (fresh fruit cut, cakes ..): we ate like kings! And all in sumptuous landscapes:)
In a country where recycling does not exist and plastic waste is burned, this was an important criterion for us that tipped the balance towards Corto, a decision we do not regret!
Finally our guide, Swedi, was simply perfect: enthusiastic, passionate, always smiling and in a good mood, he speaks impeccable French and taught us a lot about the fauna, flora, landscapes of Tanzania. We were also able to discuss various topics such as local life, customs and traditions, the history of the country, politics, religion.
He is an excellent driver and we have always felt safe and confident.
He has always sought to position our vehicle in a way that has the right angle and light for the perfect photo, effectively anticipating animal movements while respecting them. We are also very lucky in animal watching!
We had an amazing time with Swedi, laughing, sharing, learning from each other (French expressions, first caresses to a horse;) ), he helped make our trip to Tanzania an unforgettable memory.
In total, Corto Safaris is a serious agency completely French-speaking, composed of enthusiasts taking care of their customers, with a beautiful waste reduction policy, we do not regret having trusted them and highly recommend them.
Bravo and thank you for everything!

It was a beautiful tour, well organised and managed by an excellent guide/driver (Alli). Laurène, always prepared and attentive, designed a perfect road map, including all the main Tanzania parks and Lake Natron which was a unique experience. The accommodations aligned with our expectations and the time devoted to the safari was perfectly allocated. We were 2 couples and we all recommend Corto Safari, for the costs applied (quite honest) and the management of the whole tour. We are satisfied and look forward to organising another tour with Corto.

We chose this agency because it organizes off-the-beaten-track treks accessible to families. We left from the Empakaai crater to Lake Natron on foot, in three days of hiking, supervised by a perfectly organized team, including a French-speaking guide, an armed ranger for part of the route, a Massai guide and a cook. . The equipment was carried by donkeys. Very varied landscapes. Beautiful views of the very beautiful Lengai volcano. Bivouacs in the countryside. Very good meals (three courses!). Pink flamingos and many other birds. Crossing isolated Massai villages.
We combined this trek with a magnificent - more classic - safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Like almost all agencies, we had a large Toyota 4x4 with a panoramic roof, ideal for observing animals.
Our guide Eric was very friendly and spoke perfect French.
Corto also has the particularity of making great efforts to limit waste by providing mineral water in bottles and reusable tableware.
Our teenagers loved this trip, despite the lack of network and limited wifi.
Well, Tanzania is a particularly expensive destination, notably because of the entrance fees to the parks. To do once in your life.
Thanks to the whole team, and to Laurène for planning the trip!

We had a fantastic experience with Corto Safari. It was our first safari and we were very well accompanied. From the beginning, everything was very well organized. Many thanks to Marie, who knew how to prepare an itinerary perfectly adapted to our desires and coordinated every detail with great professionalism. Throughout the trip, we met expert and passionate teams, which made our adventure even more memorable.
Special mention for the Oremiti Lodge, an incredible place where we could rest in a beautiful setting, while enjoying a warm and attentive welcome. My spouse and I leave with unforgettable memories

An incredible experience in Tanzania with Kaassim, our guide from Corto Safaris.
We experienced 7 incredible days around the trip prepared in partnership between Terres d’Aventure and Corto Safaris. The trip was designed according to our travel desires (discovery of local populations and customs, sharing of knowledge, friendly and not too rootsy accommodation).
The contract was perfectly fulfilled with 2 days in Maasai territory, 1 day in Tarangire Park, 2 nights and 1.5 days in Serengeti Park and 6 hours in Ngorongoro Crater.
The hotels (see other posts) were perfect.
But above all, we had an incredible guide. Thanks to Kaassim for his sharing of knowledge (he speaks French very well), his kindness, his benevolence and his calm in all circumstances. It’s reassuring when you discover East Africa for the first time. Not to mention that Kaassim was able to take us as close as possible to the animals: his great experience and his knowledge guided him perfectly.
The Corto team is also very professional. She was able to handle a big mechanical problem in the middle of the savannah (changing a clutch), without us realizing anything. This is the advantage of a professional agency that knows how to make rapid decisions and provide the necessary means to manage difficulties.
Conclusion: we are delighted with this stay. And we really recommend Corto Safaris.

Laurène has prepared us an unforgettable honeymoon but especially very personalized with more than touching attentions!
She perfectly blended the adventure side on safari and the relaxation side in zanzibar. For the safari we really thank our local godlesen guide for his dedication and sharing of knowledge about the Maasai, the country and its traditions without forgetting the animals!
We continued our stay in zanzibar in a hotel that allowed us to fully relax while admiring extraordinary landscapes!
Congratulations again to Corto Safari for an unforgettable personalized stay!

We contacted Corto Safaris with my brother through a friend and we were not disappointed. We spoke with Laurène upstream who knew how to organize our trip as it was necessary. Very available and responsive. On site, Bakari welcomed us and introduced us to his country and the incredible parks of Tanzania. He was very patient, we were able to see all the animals and were unstoppable kindness! I recommend Corto Safaris with your eyes closed!!!

We had an amazing experience with Corto Safaris. Both at the level of the upstream organization and at the level of the stay. We had the chance to do 3 different parks (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) and never saw the same thing twice! Lucky maybe a little but especially the professionalism of the two guides. If you have the opportunity to pass through Masaai Lodge, it is a pure wonder and tent experience at Serengeti just as exciting and exciting. At Corto, everyone speaks French, which greatly facilitates communication. I recommend this agency with confidence.

Returning from 15 days in Tanzania: The trip went perfectly: no problems encountered. Perfect organization whether on safari or in Zanzibar. Obviously, special mention to our French-speaking guide Swedi: in addition to his perfect knowledge of the parks and animals, he likes to discover his country: culture and way of life of the inhabitants, the ethnic groups, etc..... Always in a good mood and often with humour. We chose Corto because you make your experienced, French-speaking guides a selling point: this is perfectly justified: bravo for that because we are convinced that it is the guide who makes the trip successful.
Congratulations also to Laurène for her advice, the choice of accommodation and her clear and decided opinions on particular points during the preparation of the trip. They proved to be correct once there. It's great to get advice from someone who knows what they're talking about.
Flawless: congratulations to Corto and an unforgettable family trip for us!

Stayed one week in September travel of two friends.
An amazing experience everything was perfect.
The organization, the food (although we would have liked to eat a little more local sometimes. At our request we had a nice surprise on the last night so do not hesitate to ask), the picnics were hearty and cooked, the hotels and staff really exceptional.
Special mention to Madiba our Guide who was very careful to answer our questions and talk to us about his country. It was also our lucky charm, we saw plenty of animals sometimes even very rare: a pretty little serval, lions and cheetahs in hunts, swimming baby elephants ...
In short I recommend with my eyes closed.
