The best Safari to Remember We just got back from an amazing private safari with Safari to Remember. Abdi, one of the managing directors, took us on a private, (my husband, adult son, and me) 3 person guided tour. We saw all of the big 5, plus so many, many more animals and birds, stayed in the most amazing hotels and glamping sites, with extraordinary farm to table food and such kind staff everywhere we stand for the 10 nights. I was a little iffy about the trip, but it was one our son had been suggesting. Are we ever glad we did it! Recommended by a friend, Safari to Remember turned out to be even better than she said it was. At every one of the 6 places we stayed, the staff, as well as Abdi, asked about food allergies and gluten. We had none so it wasn't an issue for us, but both my friend's daughter and granddaughter were gluten intolerant. No worries, no issues. With 28 years of experience as a guide, Abdi knew all the tricks of where to go, taking us to spots where we saw the most amazing habitats, landscapes and animals. Whether birds, mammals or the big 5, the ugly 5 or the little 5 are your desired viewing, you will be sure to see them. We had many favorite animals, days and experiences, but the best in my opinion had to be eating lunch, in the modified Toyota Land Cruiser with its hardtop pop-up, under an acacia tree with a sleeping leopard. Whether your group has 6 people, like my friend's, or 3 like us, Safari to Remember, will exceed your game drive expectations.

We went on a nine-day safari and had a fantastic time that we will never forget. We had the best guide you could imagine. Raphael met us at the airport and we recognized him immediately by his friendly, open smile. This smile, his calm, open, and always approachable friendliness, stayed with us for the next few days. Raphael showed us a lot and told us a lot about his country and the people there. We always felt at home and had an indescribably wonderful time. We were in Arusha National Park, Lake Manyara, Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti. We saw the Big Five and were allowed to be guests in the animals' habitat for a few days. Raphael had a good feel for the animals. Every time he suddenly stopped the car, grabbed his binoculars, and calmly gazed into the distance, our hearts leapt because we knew he had spotted another animal and was about to show it to us. Sometimes the animals were even very close to us. For example, the leopard that simply walked past our car at Lake Manyara. But then, while doing so, stared me straight in the eyes, so that my heart almost stopped. Or the elephant in Tarangire National Park, who didn't like us and who caused Raphael to put his foot on the gas. We laughed together and had a wonderful time. Raphael always kept a cool head, even in difficult situations, and handled them brilliantly. For example, he single-handedly freed the jeep, which was stuck in the wet mud – it was already dark and we were on our way to our camp in the Serengeti – and brought us safely to our destination. That's why we called Raphael "Papa Simba" henceforth. He holds a special place in our hearts. It was indescribably beautiful, and we can only recommend doing the safari with him. Because the name is a promise: A safari to remember...

I'm a wildlife photographer and just came back from a ten day family safari with Abdi in Ndutu, the central Serengeti and the Nogorongoro Crater. It's the fourth safari I've been on with some combination of Abdi and Joseph over the last seven years. Simply put, they are without equal when it comes to safari guides. They are excellent wildlife spotters, conscientious about respecting the animals, and put in long hours to make sure everything runs smoothly. I'm always amazed at how the trucks are fueled, clean and ready to go at 6am even when we got back to the camp at 7:30 the previous evening. They also understand the needs of serious wildlife photographers and work hard to help get the shot. On top of that they are always helpful, patient and kind. I think Tanzania is the best place to see great wildlife and Abdi and Joseph at Safari to Remember will always be my go-to guides..

We had another incredible trip with Raphael of Safari to Remember.... We had another incredible trip with Raphael of Safari to Remember. Having safaried previously we knew what we enjoyed and the experts at Safari to Remember were able to create a trip catered to our tastes and budget. They thought of everything. They even added a walking safari and a night drive which were both amazing. The accommodations were perfect (heavy on the glamping as we requested) the food was abundant and delicious, and the encounters with wildlife were numerous and exhilarating. Each day brought new adventures, and all enriched by our guide’s extensive knowledge of all things Tanzanian. This Tanzanian owned company is outstanding in providing the ultimate safari experience - and at making you feel like a cherished friend in your shared journey. We cannot recommend them more highly.

Just returned from a amazing trip through Tanzania with these guys. All guides are not the same.... Just returned from a amazing trip through Tanzania with these guys. All guides are not the same. There is a reason why all the other guides from other companies gave Abdi the nickname Eagle Eyes. 2O+ years of experience spotting animals at distance and in heavy cover has excelled him to a Master among his peers. He spotted so many animals that others drove by. This allowed for amazing photos with just our vehicle until the others poached our spot. Saw 10X the number of animals from previous safaris here and Amdi new everything about every animal. An encyclopedia for Tanzanian wildlife. I never leave reviews, to busy with other adventure thoughts but Amdi and Safari To Remember warrants special consideration. Not only did he find the big five multiple days they were able to take care of all the COVID requirements everywhere and any other non safari related problems that arose on our trip. I hope I have created a friend for life. Thank you so much from my wife and myself for an amazing adventure. Can’t wait to come back. I’ll be kind and not post the video of masturbating baboons, you’ll have to search for that yourself 😂 Please note the umbilical cord on the one week old giraffe…….yeah he picked that out too !
