Ngoroungoro Crater is one of the best spots for a large concentration of animals in Tanzania. That being said, even in the crater, you need to find the animals which isn't always an easy task. I took two tours with this company and was very please with the experience. First, it is well organized. Mohammed did a fantastic job of keeping not only my pickups and drop offs on time and accurate (I've been in Tanzania for two weeks and can say that isn't always the case, people don't show up or don't have things organized properly, one couple missed a ballon tour that I barely made it to) but also kept everyone else moving to and from the right place and there were some pretty complicated arrangements. Second, our guide was spot on for knowing where to go and spotting. We saw zebras, water water buffalo, elephants, lions and from a distance, a black rhino. Most importantly the guide was easy going and a great guy to spend several hours in a land cruiser with. Our group was nice enough, didn't really gel like other groups I have been with, but that just happens. We had a wonderful traditional lunch, beans and rice with some lamb curry, something that is very local cuisine and a great time having lunch by the hippos, who luckily were content to stay in the water that time of day. I would recommend this company for any type of tour and they run several. Nice people, well organized and run, I don't think you will find a better tour company, based on my experience at least.

Loved our guide! Very personable, engaging, and knowledgable. The crater is breathtaking from above, during the decent, and at the bottom. Animal sightings were non-stop and close encounters. We met up with another tour group from the same company for lunch and it was fun meeting the other guide and folks from EVERYWHERE! This was our second day trip with this same company and we found them to be reliable, safe, engaged in our enjoyment and a good value for the cost.
A very cool experience

The experience was really nice. We got a late start due some other guests being confused regarding the leave time. Our guide fifty was knowledgeable and very friendly. He went out of his way to accommodate us, make us feel comfortable, and see as much as possible.
This is my favorite tour...

This is my favorite tour of the big parks in Tanzania. The crater is really cool, and you see a great variety of animals. Rhinos are tough, so don't be those people who just keep asking about it the whole ride.....that's not really fair to the guide. Our guide got us to see elephants, lions, hyenas, baboons, gazelle, wildebeest, zebra, birds, and so much more. There aren't giraffes here, but that's what the other parks are for. It is a great place to go visit, honestly better than Serengeti (unless it's during the great migration). The guide, Shadie, (I hope I spelt it right) was a really cool guy and worked hard to find all of the animals he could, but he had some people in the front who just kept complaining, so we didn't get to interact with him as much as we'd like, i'd certainly still recommend him 100%. The tour is long, but well worth it. PS, they do give you water and an amazing lunch.
Best day trip from Arusha, great company and guide.

Thanks so much, Shoeb, for the review, It's not every day that a customer chooses a little-known company to offer services for a group of 6 people, thanks for the confidence... Credits to Joe' for making sure you back to the Hotel and safe even if you arrive back in Arusha Late i=on this day, keep it up Joe' for the good work.
