GARDENIA AFRICAN SAFARIS

I just finished a three-day camping safari with Matey from Gardenia African Safaris. Our first stop was Tarangire National Park, whose landscape immediately captivated us. Giant baobab trees shaped the park's image, and herds of elephants roamed the savannah leisurely. Ngorongoro Crater offered authentic impressions. It was unbelievable how many wildlife live together in a confined space. On the last day we explored Lake Manyara National Park. The landscape changed again: more forest, and the entire park exuded a tranquil atmosphere, very different from the open plains we had seen before. Many thanks to Matey for the excellent organization! The guide was competent, the camping was comfortable, and the entire trip was safe, smooth and full of unforgettable moments.

We just completed a 3-day budget safari with Gardenia African Safaris, visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, and it was truly a wonderful experience for me and my family. Tarangire & Lake Manyara exploring just awesome. Ngorongoro Crater was absolutely breathtaking with so much wildlife in one place. Lake Manyara surprised us with its lush scenery and diverse animals. Our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable, patient, and always trying his best to find the best wildlife sightings for us. We really appreciated how he explained the animals, nature, and parks along the way.

Our full day trip to exploring Arusha National Park was a fantastic day trip with Gardenia African Safaris. Wonderful whole day we witnessed many kinds of animals and there nature beauty just mind blowing. We would like to recommend Arusha National Park Day trip.

Our 5-day luxury safari covering Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater was extremely well organized. From pickup at Kilimanjaro International Airport, the transition to Arusha lodge was seamless. And everything was perfectly organized by Gardenia African Safaris. Our driver guide Matey was fantastic knowledgeable. He made our journey safe and memorable. The drive to Serengeti was beautiful scenery, and once inside the park, the wildlife sightings began almost immediately. We saw elephants, giraffes, and multiple lion groups within the first afternoon. Having a full day in Serengeti allowed us to explore different habitats and see a wider variety of animals. Ngorongoro Crater felt compact but intense. Wildlife viewing was excellent, and the landscape itself is impressive. Very enjoyable safari experience.

Our 3-day budget safari in Tanzania with Gardenia African Safaris was fantastic, and Tanzania gave our family a new appreciation for the natural world. We arrived in Arusha full of excitement, and our expedition began in Tarangire National Park. The vast plains, towering baobab trees, and huge herds of elephants left us in awe. Spending the night at Migombani Campsite in Moto wa Mbu was peaceful and pleasant, with fresh air, local food, and the sounds of nature all around us. The next day, we explored the famous Ngorongoro Crater. We returned to Arusha feeling grateful and inspired. This safari reminded us of how beautiful and powerful nature really is. Lovely safari experience, we would recommend Gardenia teams.

Traveling with my 3 cousins made the safari an unforgettable experience that we will remember forever. Everything was perfectly organized by Gardenia African Safaris, every game drive was thrilling and safe. The unpredictability of wildlife made every drive exciting. Our guide's experience was crucial, he knew when to get close up to see the best animal action. Wonderful exploring Tanzanian 3 national park.

A safari in Tanzania had been planned for a long time and undoubtedly began with an extraordinary trip with our four cousins. This trip became one of the most formative experiences of my life in Tanzania, organized by the professional tour operator Gardenia African Safaris. Ndutu fascinated us with its endless herds of animals, the Serengeti shocked us with the predator activity, and the Ngorongoro Crater impressed us with its incredible biodiversity. One moment we were still laughing in the car, the next we were whispering as a leopard rested in a tree just a few feet away. Our driver and guide Baraka had an incredible sense of the animals’ behaviour and the landscape, making each sighting feel like a conscious experience. We appreciated the successful mix of education, adventure, laughter and reflection that united in this journey. We returned home with a deeper respect for Tanzania's wildlife and a renewed sense of wonder.

Gardenia African Safaris was our organizer and the team planned our 8 days wonderfully. Traveling in a group made the safari collaborative. Our guide was brilliant, always created fun moments and explained wildlife behaviors perfectly. We compared our experiences after each safari, discussing behaviors and landscape differences. The Tarangire National Park impressed us with its elephant density and unique vegetation. The Ndutu region surprised us with its wild and open nature. We observed many species of animals from a distance and the lack of dense vegetation made every movement visible. In the Serengeti National Park, the Manyara Lake National Park ended the journey with a greener environment and a strong presence of birdlife. Overall, the safari was instructive, more than just adventurous. We felt very safe and enjoyed every exciting safari. An authentic safari with a very professional team.

Our safari experience in Tarangire and Ngorongoro was very exciting journey with Gardenia African Safaris. Matey was a fantastic planner, everything was perfectly organized and made our journey safe and memorable. From the first game drive, we were surrounded by wildlife – elephants roaming freely, zebras grazing peacefully and lions resting in the golden grass. The baobab trees of Tarangire created such a dramatic backdrop that every photo looked like a postcard. The Ngorongoro Crater was truly awe-inspiring, like stepping into a natural paradise teeming with life. The diversity of animals in such a small area was amazing. Our guide was friendly, informative and always knew where to find the action without intruding. Our deeper appreciation for the Tanzanian's natural world. Lovely trip.

Our 7-day safari adventure experience in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti with Matey. Honestly Matey was perfectly organized for our vacation. Every game drive was very safe and thrilling. Seeing so many animals coexisting together made it seem like it was a perfectly balanced ecosystem. Our every moment was exciting. Each day felt different, not repetitive. Best wildlife safari experience. We will highly recommend Gardenia African Safaris.

Our January journey with Gardenia African Safaris and our exploring at Serengeti and Ndutu was slow, spacious, and deeply absorbing. Over 3 days, we watched the land wake up, the herds move, and calves struggle, fall, and rise again. There was a sense of peace in just observing – not chasing the scene, not rushing, just letting nature unfold in its own time. With its open plains and quiet surroundings, Ndutu felt particularly ungrounded. My friends and I were able to talk less and observe more – the wind, the light, the distant movements of animals. Thank you Gardenia teams and thanks Matey for making our safari memorable.

We booked Gardenia African Safaris for 4 days safari with our full of excitement. We visited Tanzanian 3 national park and each park completely different moods. Each day unfolded with surprise and wonder, making us feel like explorers rather than tourists. There was a deep connection between being surrounded by untouched landscapes and ancient rhythms. We were listening to ourselves more, talking less, and appreciating everything, seeing so many animals around us up close for the first time. Every game drive was thrilling and memorable, A big thanks to Matey honestly everything he was planned very well and very helpful.

Our 5 day Tanzanian safari experience with Matey. It was the best safari experience experience in the perfect natural beautys country Tanzania. Matey was fantastic drive guide, he gave us thrilling, safe and memorable every game drive. We explored Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and Ngorongoro Crater. Tarangire's raw beauty- elephants roaming freely beneath ancient baobabs, dust glowing in afternoon light. Lake Manyara whispered serenity - green forests, mirrored waters, and birds painting the sky. Ngorongoro Crater was the final revelation, mind blowing landscapes overflowing with life, movement, and harmony. We returned with stillness, wonder, and a lasting connection to the wild heart of Tanzania. We would like to recommend Matey and Gardenia African Safaris team management.

Experiencing this 5 day safari with Gardenia African Safaris was fantastic and memorable. Over our 6 unforgettable days, we explored Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro revealed themselves not only through wildlife but through the rhythm of the road. Every game drive was filled with anticipation, discovery, and conversation, largely thanks to Hassan. His calm driving, sharp instincts, and genuine passion for the land transformed our safari into something deeply personal. Tarangire introduced us to elephant giants, Serengeti gave us the thrill of wide-open savannah and predator sightings. Ngorongoro felt like nature's own amphitheater, a veritable paradise of natural beauty. Thank you to the Gardenia African team for managing our safari perfectly from start to finish.

Our four-day safari through Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Lake Manyara was not only our first wildlife safari, but also the most exciting experience of our lives. Our guide Baraka was a very talented driver and guide. His friendly nature made our trip pleasant and uncomplicated. Every morning began with excitement, and every evening ended with stories we could hardly believe. Lions crawling in the golden light, elephants crossing dusty streets, and giraffes gliding through acacia trees – simply overwhelming! We are incredibly grateful for this experience and the opportunity to experience people and nature so closely. Tanzania was truly peaceful and beautiful, the world is just fantastic. Gardenia African Safaris was our best choice and our four private safari days were perfectly organized.

Awesome! We spent 11 days with Gardenia, visiting different parks, Tarangire, Ndutu, Central Serengueti, Ngorongoro Crater and Manyara Lake. Our guides, Mutibo and Alex, won our hearts with their involvement in having an exceptional experience, sharing personal knowledge and experiences. I love you! ❤️ We loved the locations of the accommodations and their facilities (Kiriche Lodge, touched our hearts). There was some downside, but it was resolved willingly. What we enjoy what I can say! Live nature, leaves you speechless, endless landscapes elevate the soul and people, so splendid in their way of behaving and their joy for life, transmit a special energy from which it is difficult to get away. Thank you so much for everything, Gardenia! Mutibo and Alex, EXCEPTIONAL people and professionals! *** IMPORTANT*** I have reduced mobility and it was all facilities for my wellbeing

The 8 day safari was well planned from the distances and accommodations and my daughter (17j) and I felt safe at all times. So we were able to explore villages and parks Tanzania s and take home many great experiences thanks to "Gardenia African Safaris".

My Serengeti day trip felt I was immersed in the beauty of nature. Matey was very reasonable guy. He treated me like a friend. I was really lucky to see the Great Migration where I saw countless zebras and wildebeest at the Mara River crossing. I never felt lonely, he was always with me and made the whole day a special experience. He was very knowledgeable and took me to the best places at the right time. Really I will enjoyed the every single moment. I wanted to recommend Matey and Gardenia African Safaris.
