Среди множества сафари-компаний мы остановили свой выбор на Serengeti Lusa Safaris и ни разу об этом не пожалели. От начала и до конца все было идеально организовано и профессионально выполнено. Наш гид и водитель Лукас был великолепен. Он был компетентным, профессиональным и внимательным на протяжении всего сафари. Благодаря его опыту и отличному знанию дикой природы мы смогли увидеть множество животных, в том числе «большую пятерку». Одним из самых ярких впечатлений от нашей поездки стал кемпинг в самом сердце африканской саванны. Это было незабываемо, и мы ни на минуту не чувствовали себя некомфортно или небезопасно. Вся команда прекрасно о нас заботилась и следила за тем, чтобы все шло гладко. Еще одним приятным моментом было питание. Наш шеф-повар Саймон, который уже 10 лет работает в сфере сафари-туризма, готовил для нас вкусные и изысканные блюда на протяжении всей поездки. Мы от всей души рекомендуем Serengeti Lusa Safaris всем, кто планирует отправиться на сафари. Их профессионализм, гостеприимство, компетентность персонала и внимание к деталям сделали наше приключение по-настоящему особенным. Вы точно не пожалеете!

The Best Choice for an Unforgettable Safari.

My safari with Serengeti Lusa Safaris was truly one of the best experiences of my life. Exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Serengeti, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro was absolutely amazing, and seeing so many beautiful wild animals in their natural habitat made the journey unforgettable. I am especially grateful to Grace for making everything so wonderful. I made the decision to take this trip at very short notice, so I had very little time to arrange my reservation. Thankfully, Grace responded incredibly quickly, kindly, and professionally to all my requests. The reasonable price was another great advantage and made the decision even easier. Even after returning home, I still think about the incredible moments and memories from this safari. I am extremely grateful to Grace and Serengeti Lusa Safaris for giving me such a memorable experience. I would definitely recommend this company to any friends or family planning a trip to Tanzania. And if I have the opportunity to return to Tanzania in the future, I would choose Serengeti Lusa Safaris and Grace again without hesitation. I truly hope to come back someday!...

Our safari with Serengeti Lusa Safaris was an incredible experience from beginning to end. Every detail was well organized, and the level of service exceeded our expectations. Our guide was warm, knowledgeable, and always made sure we were comfortable throughout the journey. We spent three unforgettable days exploring Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara National Park. Each game drive brought exciting new wildlife encounters, and our guide was always happy to stop whenever we wanted to admire the scenery, watch the animals, or take photos without feeling rushed. Before each game drive, he explained which animals we were most likely to see and which sightings would depend on luck. We appreciated his honesty because it helped set realistic expectations. In the end, we were amazed by the variety of wildlife we encountered. Seeing elephants, a rhino, and playful lion cubs up close was an unforgettable highlight of our trip. The accommodations arranged by Serengeti Lusa Safaris were outstanding—among the finest places we stayed during our time in Africa, and some of the best we've experienced anywhere. Every aspect of the safari was thoughtfully planned, making it a truly memorable adventure. We wholeheartedly recommend Serengeti Lusa Safaris to anyone looking for a high-quality safari experience in Tanzania. It was the trip of a lifetime, and we would happily do it again.
