    We had an absolutely extraordinary experience during our sevenday safari in Tanzania! Everything was very well organized from start to finish. Our guide was professional, attentive, passionate, and always available to answer our many questions. We discovered magnificent landscapes and observed an incredible number of animals in their natural habitat. Each day brought new surprises and unforgettable moments. The accommodations were very pleasant, and the entire trip exceeded our expectations. A huge thank-you to the entire team for your warm welcome, kindness, and all these wonderful memories. We highly recommend this experience without hesitation!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If we could give more than 5 stars, we would! The trip of a lifetime! Our 8-day safari with Safaris Africa United exceeded every expectation. We explored Tarangire, Central and Northern Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara, and were incredibly lucky to see the Big Five and so much more. What truly made this safari unforgettable was our amazing driver-guide, Laurian. His ability to spot wildlife was incredible, but even more impressive was his knowledge of animal behavior and knowing when to wait and let nature surprise us. Thanks to his patience and experience, we witnessed extraordinary moments: the birth of a baby zebra, a lion and lioness mating, predators with their prey, elephant families with their babies, a leopard in a tree, cheetahs and countless other unforgettable wildlife encounters. At times, it felt like we were inside a wildlife documentary! We love photography, and Laurian never rushed us. He always tried to position the vehicle perfectly and gave us all the time we needed. He also personalized our days according to what we wanted to see and experience. It never felt like we were simply following a tour — it truly felt like our safari, designed for us. Most importantly, we felt completely safe with Laurian from beginning to end. He is an excellent, calm and careful driver, and we trusted him completely. By the end of our eight days together, it didn’t feel like we were saying goodbye to our driver-guide… we were saying goodbye to a friend. We cannot recommend Safaris Africa United — and especially Laurian — highly enough. Asante sana, Laurian! ❤️🇹🇿 Thank you for sharing your beautiful Tanzania with us and giving us memories that will last a lifetime. Hakuna matata! And yes Laurian… “Ça va? Ça va?” — Ça va très, très bien! 😊❤️

    Les quiero hacer una breve sugerencia para aquellas personas que quieran hacer un Safari en Tanzania. Acabamos de hacer un viaje con mi familia hace pocos días y hemos disfrutado muchísimo. Hemos tenido la suerte de poder disfrutar de los cinco grandes animales que pueblan el Serengueti y su contorno gracias al conocimiento de nuestro guía Cornelius. También hemos tenido la oportunidad de visitar varios poblados indígenas como el de los bosquimano y Masai para conocer sus costumbres y ver cómo viven. Al Sr Cornelius lo conocimos en otro Safari en el 2013 como guía, nos dijo que su meta era tener su propia agencia. Su sueño es en estos momentos una realidad y lo recomiendo para los amantes de los Safaris. Su gestión fue impecable, pudimos desconectar durante el viaje sin tener que preocuparnos de nada, solo de disfrutar.

    Una experiencia inolvidable en Tanzania Hay viajes que se viven… y otros que se quedan contigo para siempre. Este safari por Tanzania ha sido, sin duda, de los segundos. Una experiencia que nos ha emocionado, sorprendido y dejado sin palabras desde el primer hasta el último día. Hemos realizado un safari de 4 días con Safaris África United, recorriendo 2 días el Serengeti, 1 día el Ngorongoro y 1 día Tarangire, y la experiencia ha sido sencillamente espectacular. Queremos agradecer especialmente a todo el equipo. Gerard, nuestro guía de habla hispana, hizo que el viaje fuera todavía más especial. Su conocimiento de los animales, del entorno y de la cultura de Tanzania, además de su cercanía y paciencia, hicieron que cada día aprendiéramos y disfrutáramos muchísimo. También queremos destacar a Tuma, nuestro conductor, que además de ser un gran profesional, estuvo siempre pendiente de nosotros y consiguió que nos sintiéramos seguros durante todo el safari. Gracias a su experiencia pudimos disfrutar de momentos únicos y ver una cantidad de animales que superó todas nuestras expectativas. Y por supuesto, gracias a Cornellius, que se encargó de organizar todo y estuvo pendiente de que el viaje saliera perfecto en cada detalle. El Serengeti nos dejó sin palabras, el cráter del Ngorongoro fue impresionante y Tarangire nos sorprendió muchísimo. Hemos vivido momentos que recordaremos toda la vida. Si estás pensando en hacer un safari en Tanzania, no lo dudes: Safaris África United es una apuesta segura. La organización, el trato humano y el equipo hacen que la experiencia sea realmente de 10. Gracias Gerard, Tuma y Cornelius por hacer de nuestro safari una experiencia inolvidable. ¡Asante sana! 🇹🇿❤️
