Semplicemente superbo! Un safari mozzafiato – altamente raccomandato! Il nostro safari con Avventura è stata un'esperienza indimenticabile e mozzafiato! Tutto è stato perfetto dall'inizio alla fine. La nostra guida, Hans, ha condiviso con noi in tedesco la sua vasta conoscenza e il suo entusiasmo per la fauna selvatica africana. Abbiamo imparato moltissimo. Il nostro autista, Maina, è stato semplicemente fantastico! Ci ha condotto in modo sicuro e professionale attraverso i vari parchi nazionali ed era estremamente preparato. Anche il nostro comfort è stato curato nei minimi dettagli: ogni giorno c'erano bevande fresche e un pranzo appena cucinato – proprio nel cuore della natura selvaggia africana! La jeep era perfettamente adatta alle condizioni stradali a volte molto impegnative. Persino una gomma a terra nel mezzo del Serengeti non è riuscita a fermarci. Il problema è stato risolto professionalmente e la nostra avventura è continuata! Un enorme grazie a Hans, Maina e a tutto il team di Avventura per questo fantastico safari. Raccomandiamo Avventura con tutto il cuore! Se volete vivere un safari indimenticabile in Tanzania, Avventura è la scelta perfetta! Gerold e Denise, Austria

The 3-day safari experience was truly beautiful and in the spirit of hakuna matata. Makogo was more than a guide, a true travel companion, who knew how to tell us about the parks, the animals, but also about the life and the people of Tanzania!

Un'esperienza meravigliosa! Un'esperienza unica e indimenticabile. Siamo stati molto fortunati perché abbiamo incontrato una guida di nome Christian, molto competente ed esperto, che ci ha permesso di vedere tutti gli animali, compresa la caccia mattutina! Disponibile, umile, mai invadente o insistente, e preparato! Grazie di cuore!

Safari in Tanzania: an unforgettable experience, but for the wrong reasons
My husband and I, for our honeymoon in August 2026 between Turkey, Tanzania, and Zanzibar, organized everything ourselves: flights, hotels, and experiences. The only part for which we decided to rely on a tour operator was the safari in Tanzania, aware that an experience of this kind required in-depth knowledge of the territory and specialized organization. Driven by the excellent reviews on various platforms and the numerous positive comments on Instagram, we chose Safari Avventura, purchasing a private safari package. Never was a choice more wrong. The trip included five days, during which we had three different guides. 1st day – Arusha, guide Valerio. Very good, prepared, and helpful. During the day, he had also mentioned to us that, due to the shortage of Italian-speaking guides, some agencies have recently been relying on guys with little experience. At the time, we hadn't given much weight to those words. In hindsight, they seemed almost like a warning to us. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th day – Serengeti and Ngorongoro, guide Davide. It is with him that we experienced practically all the problems I will recount. 5th day – Tarangire, guide Christian. After our repeated complaints, the organization finally arranged for the guide to be replaced. Christian was excellent: competent, attentive, knowledgeable from a naturalistic point of view, and safe in his driving. It was precisely thanks to this last day that we were able to see how great the difference was compared to the previous days. A positive note also goes to the lodges where we stayed: beautiful facilities, absolutely up to expectations. Why am I writing this review only now? Because we first tried to obtain a refund for the inconveniences suffered. Against a total expenditure of about 5,000 euros, including accommodations, we were only granted 350 euros, after our request for a larger refund. I leave it to the reader to evaluate how proportionate this figure might be to what I am about to recount. In this regard, I would like to highlight one aspect: although Safari Avventura has a website and offices in Italy, the company indicates a registered office in the United Arab Emirates on its website. A detail to which we initially gave no weight, but which we re-evaluated during the refund request, feeling less protected than we expected. But I also waited other weeks after the refund, for a much more personal reason: writing this review means reliving a disappointment that still weighs on me today. I assure you that it is not pleasant to return from your honeymoon and, every time someone asks "So, how did it go?", find yourself telling this story. Especially because we are talking about places that we will probably never have the opportunity to visit again. We lost something unrepeatable. Let's get to the problems with the guide. Davide personally admitted to us that it was his first experience. I want to clarify one thing right away: I do not attribute the main responsibility for what happened to him, but to those who decided to entrust a private safari, in such complex places, to a person evidently not yet ready to manage it independently. Already on the first day he broke our personal binoculars in an attempt to adjust them, making them unusable. Unfortunately, he did not possess one of his own. His knowledge of the Italian language was also rather limited, so much so that we often had to communicate in English, despite having purchased a service with an Italian-speaking guide. Fortunately, for us the language did not represent an obstacle, but it still remains a difference compared to the agreed-upon service. The main problem, however, was another: the guide did not seem to know the roads and routes inside the parks sufficiently. We kept finding ourselves following other jeeps, maintaining very close distances and often proceeding at high speeds, with large amounts of dust entering our vehicle. When we lost sight of the jeep we were following, Davide stopped repeatedly to ask for directions. And what were the consequences? A safari experienced constantly in a rush. We couldn't stop as long as we would have liked to observe the animals, because we risked losing sight of the jeep in front of us. Some sightings were reduced to a few moments. Even stops in equipped areas, including those for bathroom breaks, were limited or skipped. A safari should allow you to observe, listen, wait. It should give you the possibility to stop in front of an animal for as long as necessary, without the worry of having to leave immediately. In Tanzania there is an expression that perfectly encapsulates this way of living: "pole pole," which in Swahili means "slowly slowly," without haste. Well, our safari was exactly the opposite of pole pole. Alas, the day at Ngorongoro was the one that left us with the greatest bitterness. The program included a visit to the crater and the Maasai village. This last stop was skipped and only made up for later, thanks to Christian's availability. Inside the crater we stayed for about two hours, leaving around 1:00 PM. We then had lunch outside the park, in an unsuitable place, and arrived at the lodge as early as 2:30 PM. But the memory that saddens me the most concerns my husband. He really wanted to visit the Ngorongoro. It was one of the places we were looking forward to most, and even though we had expressly asked to stop, we couldn't even enjoy the view of the crater and the valley, because we had to keep following another vehicle. We were in front of one of the most extraordinary views of our honeymoon and we couldn't stop to admire it. Furthermore, the naturalistic preparation was truly insufficient for a safari guide. Mistaking a leopard for a cheetah or flamingos for storks does not seem like a minor error to me for a person who is supposed to accompany you to discover African wildlife! Only on the last day, thanks to Christian, did we also realize how many things were missing in the previous days: a first aid kit, binoculars available to customers, a proper container to store lunch, plates, cutlery, a tablecloth, and even a trash can. All things that until that moment we didn't even know had to be there, simply because we had never seen them! We had reported the problems to the organization from the very first day with Davide. The following day in the Serengeti went better and we hoped that things had changed. Unfortunately, at Ngorongoro the same difficulties reappeared and the guide was replaced only on the last day. Too late, by then. I want to clarify that we are not complaining about the number of animals spotted! We know very well that a safari is not a zoo and that the animals are free. The problem is not having been able to experience even the sightings we were lucky enough to have as we would have liked. I do not doubt that others have had wonderful experiences with this agency. We also met two excellent guides and stayed in splendid lodges. It's a pity that this is not enough to erase the rest. We strongly advise against Safari Avventura. We had spent a significant amount and placed all our trust in them for an experience that we will probably never repeat again. Months later, the bitterness is still great.

Un'esperienza indimenticabile . È stata un'esperienza incredibile. Il nostro rappresentante commerciale, Enrico, ci ha spiegato tutto molto bene ed è sempre stato disponibile a rispondere a qualsiasi nostra domanda. I lodge in cui abbiamo soggiornato erano fantastici e abbiamo visto tutti gli animali che desideravamo, incluso un ghepardo che cacciava una gazzella.

Safari in Tanzania
Our six-day safari in Tanzania organized by Safari Avventura was a beautiful experience. With our guide Christian, we visited Manyara Park, the Serengeti over two days with an incredible stay at the WildLux Tented Camp, the Ngorongoro Crater, and finally Tarangire Park. Christian guided us through this wild nature, helping us encounter many animals. He took care of our palates with delicious lunches eaten in the savanna. Hakuna Matata Babu Alberto

Beautiful experience
We did the 5-day safari in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. Our guide, Calvin, met us at the Kilimanjaro airport. He proved to be helpful and kind right from the start. Very large car, water and other drinks always available, lunches in the parks were always plentiful and good, based on local recipes. Wonderful experience, we saw a lot of animals thanks to the keen eye of our guide. The days flew by thanks to the beauty of the landscape but above all thanks to our guide Calvin, who knew how to lighten the travel time with his friendliness and his stories about Tanzanian culture and tradition.

Tanzania Safari October 2026
Our group safari organized by Safari Avventura was perfect, with great care taken in the choice of lodges. During this unforgettable experience, we were accompanied by Christian, a kind, motivated guide who was full of attention for all of us. Skilled and careful in driving the Jeep. Excellent food, served with care. Visiting the parks and observing the animals with a passionate person gave us emotions that we will not forget.

Safari di 5 giorni nel Serengeti, Ngorongoro e Tarangire. Ho trascorso giornate meravigliose immerso nella natura, tra tanti animali e persone accoglienti e sorridenti. Kalvin, la nostra guida e autista, è stato perfetto, sempre pronto ad ascoltarci, a soddisfare le nostre richieste, a scherzare con noi, ma sempre rispettoso nei nostri confronti e delle regole del parco, un vero professionista. Un grande applauso anche al giovane Emanuel che mi ha accompagnato l'ultimo giorno nella città di Arusha, portandomi a visitare musei e mercati locali, guidandomi con sicurezza, cordialità e la professionalità di una guida esperta. Un grande grazie a entrambi. Natura, compagnia e organizzazione al top! Davide M.
