It met all our expectations. Roy Safaris and the MD - Sanjiv Pandit- ensured we had a memorable trip to the Game parks from Arusha. We were picked up from Nairobi on time. Very good roads from Nairobi to Arusha. Had 1/2 a day sighseeing in Arusha before leaving the next morning for Tarangiri, Ngorongoro Crater & Serengeti over the following days. Drove upto the Mara River in Serengeti to see the wilderbeast migration. A must on any itenerary. Our guide - Eric- is one of their senior guides with over 20 years experience. A Gentleman and an excellent guide. He made our safari memorable. Some day drives were long but OK for adults. For Children in tow, I would recomment internal flights within the game parks. Roy Safaris were extremely flexible and will tailor (with recommendations) to your needs. We flew from Kogatende airfield near the Mara River to Zanzibar. All organsied by Roy Safaris inc sending some of our suitcases on Zanzibar without having to lug them around.
I would recommend Roy Safaris for planning a trip to any game parks in Tanzania

It was a fantastic safari. We saw all of the “Big 5” plus many more. Our guide, Emmanuel, was awesome. He would tell us interesting facts as we went along. He could spot the animals way before we saw them.
We’ve been on many safaris and Roy Safari’s and Emmanuel is the best of all of them!

I just returned from an unforgettable fabulous safari tour through Roy’s safari!
My husband booked a private 10 day safari with your company for me , his friend and brother in law to see Tanzania ( Tarangire, lake Menyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti and Northern Serengeti) .
He has used your company before in 2017 and was extremely excited and pleased with the planning and details and the overall experience that he booked Roy’s Safari again.
In fact at the last visit, he was assigned a fantastic , experienced guide named Salvatory that he requested him again and fortunately Salvatory was available for the latter 8 days of our current tour. The first 2 days, we had Nicolas who was also exceptional.
We spent 2 nights Tarangire at Sopa, 2 nights Kubukubu, 1 night Ngorongoro Retreat, 1 night at Melia , 3 nights at Mara Mara tent lodge. All the accommodations were comfortable, well staffed, excellent food, clean and insect free.
Ngorongoro Retreat was tucked away near a village but once one entered the property, it was one of the most spectacular oasis I’ve been too. I wish we had a few more nights to fully enjoy this place. Melia was also a “wow” and had the most spectacular breathtaking views of the crater.
No one in our group got sick from the food at any of the lodgings. The staff did a great job preparing our picnic breakfasts and lunches when needed with a wonderful variety of choices of food.
The guides were a league of their own and they knew where some of the best sightings of animals might be. Salvatory is especially trained to position the jeep around the animal sighting to get the best lighting and best possible photos .
Both guides kept us safe , made sure we had fun and did their best to make sure we saw the highlights. They were extremely knowledgeable with over 25 years of experience . We managed to see most of the animals and birds this area is known for . We were given a pamphlet to check off each animal or bird sighting when we saw it and I managed to check off all the animal sightings.
We even witnessed three Great Wildebeest migration crossings while at northern Serengeti at Mara Mara River. Almost daily we saw fantastic sunrises and sunsets. We witnessed aftermaths of predators killing their prey .
For those who are serious photographers with SLR’s, Salvatory gives wonderful tips on capturing the best photos. Be open to his suggestions and recommendations and you will be surprised at your ability to capture unique moments in nature .
Both guides were enthusiastic, energetic, friendly , experienced and accommodating.
I loved that both guides took us to areas where there were less jeeps - so we could have clear viewings and be able to take unobstructed photos without other vehicles in the way. The jeeps themselves had comfortable seats, a well designed pop up roof , were roomy with an extra row of seats removed to allow for easy movement and had large windows for viewing . One could close the windows if it was too windy and dusty .
If you are thinking of booking a safari in Tanzania, I would highly recommend Roy’s Safari .
For someone like me who has never experienced a safari adventure, Roy’s Safari made it a memorable, fun, fantastic experience. Thank you !!
