It’s the only active volcano in the world that erupts natrocarbonatite lava, making it a fascinating destination for trekkers seeking a one-of-a-kind adventure. This mountain offers not just a physically rewarding trek but also a spiritual journey into the beliefs and traditions of the Maasai people.

Perfect experience with a perfect organization Hello, we went on a 5-day safari, organized by Wild Pride. They offer standard programs which did not really fit to our needs (travelling arrangements etc). I just gave them what I wanted and needed and everything was organized in a perfect and easy way. Communication was very easy - I had previously spoken with a different provider and they were incapable to react to my wishes. Driver - we had Deo as driver - a very nice guy, communicative and with a lot of background information he could give to us and even more important an absolutely professional driver. Animals - well, we saw them all, Deo knew the right spots, the Big Five of course and many many other animals and all close by. So really a great experience. Hotels - we stayed at the Four Season, the Melia at the Ngorongoro and the Melia at Arusha - all were perfect choices. Not the cheapest ones, but that was our selection, Wild Pride took care of a smooth organization. I usually don't write such positive reviews, but here really everything fitted very well and was adjusted completely to our needs. Therefore: at least 5 stars for Wild Pride!

Amazing honeymoon - better than we imagined Wild Pride Safaris did an amazing job planning our honeymoon. The tour operator was very responsive (often answered within 24 hours or less) and custom built an itinerary that suited our needs. They greeted us with roses for the bride as well as customized “Just Married” stickers with our names on the Safari vehicle. The hotel lodge accomodations were world class. Our driver, Deocary, was with us every step of the way and was very knowledgeable about the animals and the landscape. Thanks to him - we saw the entire Big 5 in one morning. He knew exactly where to be and has a great instinct for where the animals will be.

Hakuna matata in every way! Our driver Abdul was very experienced. As a driver as well as a guide. The roads were very difficult because of alle the rain but we didn't feel afraid at any point. Hakuna matata! He showed us many, many beautiful animals and scenery. We did The Serengeti and The Ngorongoro crater. Fantastic!

Trip of a lifetime! Trip of a lifetime! Lillian organized our 15-day luxury safari and beach trip to Tanzania. She took care of everything. She is always available for any questions. As I was traveling alone with my 2 children (11 and 12), I had some apprehensions. Lillian always reassured me and we had the best trip ever. We felt safe everywhere. We also had the best driver/guide on the safari part of the trip. I love taking “professional” pictures and our driver himself took pictures as well and therefore understood the locations, lights etc. All of our accommodations were truly amazing. I highly recommended Wild Pride Safaries

Einfach nur TOP!! Wir waren 6 Tage lang auf Safari mit dem besten Guide (Ally) und im Anschluss 6 Tage auf Sansibar. Auf der Safari haben wir 3 verschiedene Nationalparks besucht (Ngorongoro, Manyara Lake und Serengeti) und unzählige Tiere (auch die big 5) gesehen. Das Land ist sowieso schon traumhaft, aber durch eine perfekte Organisation im Voraus und auf der Reise und mit einem Guide, der so klasse ist (wir haben ihm Löcher in den Bauch gefragt und er wusste auf alles eine Antwort), war es einfach perfekt. Jeder Tag war vom Transfer über Ausflüge bis hin zu den Lunchboxen super geplant, die Unterkünfte waren alle handverlesen und der Service und das Essen top. Es hätte nicht besser sein können und ist absolut weiterzuempfehlen. Vielen Dank für dieses unvergessliche Erlebnis!

Wunderbare Safari,Perfekte Organisation, sehr erfahrener Guide dass wir Wild Pride Safaris gewählt haben, war die beste Entscheidung ! die Organisation schon im Vorfeld durch Lilian war hervorragend und reibungslos, es wurde auf alle Wünsche und Vorstellungen eingegangen. Unser Guide Ally war einfach fantastisch, er verfügt über unfangreiches Wissen was die Tiere und ihre Lebensweise angeht, hat uns auch Tansania selbst nahe gebracht, wir haben so viel über Land und Leute und die Tiere in diesem herrlichen Umfeld gelernt. Wir waren 6 Tage mit Ally unterwegs, fühlten uns immer gut aufgehoben, man muss sagen gut beschützt, denn es wurde sehr darauf geachtet, dass wir nichts tun, was unsere Gesundheit gefährdet(Essen, Trinken,Mückenschutz). Außerdem war Ally ein sehr angenehmer und rücksichtsvoller Guide, sehr versiert herauszuhören, was uns interessiert und unglaublich geschickt im Auffinden und respektvollem Beobachten der Tiere. Wir haben neben vielen, vielen anderen Tieren (Elefanten in jedem Alter,Zebras, Gnus, verschiedene Antilopen und Gazellen, Nilpferde, Büffel, Greif- und Singvögel, Leguane,Strauße,Affen,Leoparden,Gepard...) alle Big Five gesehen, besonders aufregend war es, die Löwen beim Jagen und einen Tag später 2 Löwenpärchen beim Paaren zu erleben. Und nicht zu vergessen 3 Löwinnen mit Jungen keine 10 m entfernt!! Alles in allem eine grandiose Erfahrung ! Wir wollen wiederkommen, denn wir haben Tansania durch diese Safari lieben gelernt! Danke an Lilian und Ally

Unglaublich gute Safari Beeindruckende Safari mit einem witzigen und top ausgebildeten Guide Ally. Ally vermittelt während der Tour enorm viel Wissen zu den heimischen Tieren und Pflanzen und sorgt dafür, dass man sehr viele Tiere und insbesondere die Big Five aus der Nähe betrachten kann. Die Touren und Unterkünfte waren perfekt organisiert. Absolut zu empfehlen !

Journey of the lifetime for every member of the family We were traveling with three kids. It was an unforgettable trip for everyone. Everything was smooth - from the start of organization (Lilian helped to pick best five day tour according our needs) till the end of the tour. We will never forget our guide Giliad, who became a friend. Great sense of humor, huge experience and "Eagle eye" - we saw not only BIG five, but more than 30 various animals (sleeping, eating, hunting, mating, ..) and I was able to make a photo of more than 130 different birds. I would recommend Wild Pride Safaris without a doubt. If you want to have a trip of your life - go with them!

unforgettable experience We booked a 3-day game drive to the Serengeti National Park with our kids (7 and 9 years old) with wild pride safari and were more than thrilled. Our guide Deo explained a lot to us about the animals and their behavior. We had so much fun with him and he found the best spots. We saw 4 of the big 5 except the rhino. It was a great and unforgettable experience. We can only recommend it. Thank you!!

Will book again with Wild Pride in the future My boyfriend and I did a 5 day Safari through Tanzania, with the specific goal of seeing the Wildebeest migration. Our guide Deo, with years of amazing experience, more than delivered; and we got to see two crossings in one day. Asides from this, we saw 4 of the big 5, and had a wonderful holiday with Deo, who was informative, charming and just a blast to be around. The accommodations were in the tents were unlike anything I expected and true glamping with warm water showers, great food, and just beautiful camp sites all around. The owner of Wild Pride is hands on, responsive, sharp and kind, and made sure our trip was amazing.
