We booked a 6-day safari with Signature Safari to celebrate our honeymoon and had an amazing experience from start to finish.
Faith was so helpful in arranging our booking from a distance, advising us on the best package. She was super responsive to all our messages.
We stayed in the Olea hotel during our trip - 1 night in Lake Manyara, 2 nights in Serengeti, and 1 night in Ngorongoro. The food was great, including providing some local specialties when we requested them. The tents were so comfy with hot showers and huge beds, as well as a lovely fire to gather round in the evening.
The best part, without doubt, was our guide Malaki. He was very experienced and made us feel so welcome and comfortable. He told us lots about the history and culture of Tanzania and was a walking encyclopedia of animal knowledge. He was incredible at spotting animals, ensuring we saw the big 5 and African 7, as well as some smaller gems like bush tortoises. He made us laugh lots too - we were sad to see goodbye to him!
The company uses really sturdy Toyota land cruisers which make for a comfy ride on the rough dirt roads. We didn't encounter any mechanical problems ourselves but saw quite a few broken-down cars from other companies during our safari. Although we had no problems
We traveled in January after the rainy season, which was great. Although the grass was long, which meant our guide had to work a bit harder to find the animals, it meant they all looked very healthy and meant fewer other cars around than in high season. We also got to see the migrating wildebeest, which was fantastic!
We surely recommend signature safari as a safari specialist in Tanzania
