Serengeti Safaris

Our travel company planned what can only be described as the adventure of a lifetime for us.

This trip was especially meaningful because we were celebrating our 10-year wedding anniversary, and from beginning to end, everything felt incredibly well thought out. We started in the Seychelles, where we had a few days to unwind before heading to Tanzania for an unforgettable safari through Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Northern Serengeti.

The safari was beyond anything we could have imagined. We saw elephants, lions, zebras, cheetahs, and both white and black rhinos, along with so much other incredible wildlife. Every location felt different, every camp was special in its own way, and the entire experience flowed seamlessly from one place to the next.

We finished our trip in Zanzibar, first exploring Stone Town and then spending our final days on the beautiful white-sand beaches. One of our favorite surprises came at the very end, when the team arranged an anniversary dinner for us through our hotel. After such an incredible journey, it was such a thoughtful and meaningful way to celebrate our anniversary and finish the trip.

A special thank you to Zicasso's travel specialist, who worked closely with us to make sure the trip was exactly what we wanted. She even checked in with us while we were on safari to make sure everything was going well, which says a lot about the level of care they put into their trips. We also want to thank the team for coordinating all of the logistics beforehand and making sure every reservation, transfer, and detail was taken care of before we left.

Planning a trip like this across multiple countries, safari camps, flights, transfers, and hotels could easily have felt overwhelming. Instead, we were able to simply enjoy the experience because our travel company had taken care of everything.

Ten years from now, we will still be talking about this trip. We cannot recommend our travel company highly enough, and we would absolutely work with them again for another African adventure.

Zicasso's travel agents planned every small and big detail of our trip to Nairobi, Maasai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. They suggested a perfect time. Because of this, we were able to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration, including the Mara River crossing. The guides were very knowledgeable. The pick-up and drop-off service from airports at each place was excellent. Our overall trip was great!

Zicasso's travel company did a great job with all the details. Every pick-up ride was waiting, small planes were as scheduled, and camps and lodges were expecting us. Our private guide was amazing. Camps were fantastic, with wonderful staff who became family.

Our lodge at Ngorongoro Crater was a nice change from camps at the end of the week. A key to the intelligent schedule was to send us to West Serengeti first. We caught the migration in its full glory. Most safari travelers we met did it in reverse, starting at Ngorongoro, and may have missed much of the migration. As a “lucky” bonus, white rhinos were introduced at Ngorongoro two days before we got there and we got to observe the interesting reaction of the existing black rhinos to these larger relatives. We saw every common animal species that exists in the Serengeti. That included 85 different lions and 13 different cheetahs.

This trip exceeded all our expectations and the direction and oversight by the travel company was spot-on. I can recommend this tour operator without any reservation.

Zicasso's travel specialists organized an unforgettable Northeast African safari. Our agent and her team meticulously crafted our itinerary, ensuring it aligned perfectly with our interests. The entire trip was seamlessly organized, with each stop providing a unique experience.

The camps and lodges we stayed in were exceptional. The food, accommodations, staff, and guides were all outstanding. The balloon ride along the Mara River in the Serengeti, canoe safari on Lake Manyara, and walking safari at a couple of our stops, in addition to the private game drives, added to the overall experience. The views from our rooms were breathtaking.

While we encountered an unfortunate event at the airport that wasn’t the agency’s fault, our agent's team was available via the emergency line and provided assistance.

Her expertise and attention to detail made our safari truly memorable. We wouldn’t have been able to arrange such a phenomenal trip without her assistance. We highly recommend our travel company for anyone seeking an incredible African safari experience.

My family and I had an unforgettable experience in Tanzania and we thank Zicasso’s travel specialist for designing such a wonderful, beyond-words safari package. The travel book thoroughly prepared us for this upcoming adventure.

With our friendly and knowledgeable guide, who has an eagle’s eye for spotting wildlife, I swear we saw just about every animal active during the day: lions and cubs, cheetahs and cubs, leopards (6x), rhinos, hippos, a Nile crocodile, elephants and babies, giraffes and babies, wildebeests, Cape buffalo, monkeys, all sorts of deer and antelope, from dik diks to impalas to a waterbuck, and even a serval cat.

Of all our other excursions, we especially enjoyed interacting with the Maasai chief and the women and men of his boma, and visiting Olduvai Gorge and its museum.

We loved the uniqueness, views, delicious meals, and friendly service, with attention to detail of guests, at each property. What better way to have a lunch and a dinner than in the bush! The sundowner was breathtaking. We left with such warm memories and appreciation of Tanzania and its people.
