Nice safari, but could have been better.
We had a nice safari with Professional Safaris in the Ngorongoro Crater & Serengeti National Park and saw many animals. Our guide was nice, but certain things could have been handled better. For example, it was only mentioned to us in the last three hours of the drive back to the airport that there was a fridge in the jeep. It would have been nice to know this at the start so we did not have to drink warm water for three days and this could have prevented us from throwing away things from our lunch bag that we no longer trusted after lying in the heat for half a day. Additionally, the driver kept his radio (through which I assume he communicated with other guides) on very loud even when we were less than 5 meters from an animal and the noise of the radio was disturbing our experience of enjoying the animals in their natural habitat. Another example is that the guide made us walk around an outdoor art gallery for 10 minutes so he would get some kind of lottery ticket.
Also, do not be fooled by the last day 'early morning game drive'. When you are going to (certain parts of) the Serengeti, you need to drive back to the airport for 7 hours. While we did see some animals on the first part of the drive, it was not the same as an actual game drive.

Once in a lifetime experience
We recently went on a 10-day tour of Tanzania and Zanzibar with Professional Safari Africa, and it was an unforgettable experience. The hotels in Zanzibar were absolutely stunning, with friendly staff and amazing food. Cholo did a fantastic job organizing all our tours, and we felt well taken care of, never having to worry about transfers.
The safari in Tanzania was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Although Jonas had to leave after the first day due to an emergency, Joseph stepped in and took us on some incredible game drives. The hotel was comfortable with a nice pool, but the food could have been better, as it was buffet-style and wasn’t as fresh as I would have liked.
We did encounter some issues when trying to pay for the trip, which was a bit stressful, but overall, we had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Professional Safari Africa for anyone looking to experience the beauty of Tanzania and Zanzibar.

A very interesting safari
Communication was very good, nice and pleasant service with the driver Fulgence, good choice of accomodations. Just a long drive to Serengeti , too long.
It will be interesting if you had binoculars that work in the car !

Good costumer service, but the guide they hired was mediocre
Communication was fast and friendly.
The service was great and we got picked up in a private car and driven to the pick-up point.
The Safari guide was a good kid, but his english was not very good, so we didn’t get much info of the animals due to his language barrier. But he was polite, and good at spotting animals. We had a three day safari, and got to see all the animals we wished to see.
I would book through Peofessional Safari again
Excellent
I am so happy to have had Deo as a Guide. Besonders the fact that he literally knew everything that we asked, he was so friendly und funny. We couldn’t have asked for a better person. Plus I don’t have proof but also no doubts that he had a bionic eye because he spotted everything!! Next time we come back we will for sure ask for him to be our guide again. Thank you so much for this experience.

An Unforgettable Experience
We had a 6-night tour organised by Professional Safaris. We started with a night in Arusha, followed by a safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and into Serengeti National Park.
Mike, our guide made sure that we had an incredible experience from the moment he picked us up at Kilimanjaro airport. He has an uncanny ability to find wildlife (including all of the Big 5) and always shared his extensive knowledge about the animals we saw. He adapted his plans every day, to make sure that each one was different and to make certain that we had an unforgettable experience.
The organisation from the team was excellent. The accommodation was all of an extremely high standard, with wonderful service and delicious food. Everything happened very smoothly, including our flight from Seronera airstrip and final transfer to our hotel on Zanzibar.
I would definitely recommend Professional Safaris to anyone looking for the trip of a lifetime in Tanzania.
As Mike always said, as one adventure finishes another begins.

Deo was such a knowledgeable safari guide, we couldn’t have had a better experience.
We had such a wonderful time on safari. We did only a short trip with a two day 1 night, and toured both the Serengeti and the ngorongoro crater. We saw so much in our short time, Deo our guide was excellent at time keeping and gave us a schedule that meant we saw as much as we could whilst ensuring we met our onward travel arrangements. The food was fantastic, the accommodation was beyond expectations - we wished we had more time to spend there. Deo couldn’t have been more knowledgeable even about the most random little birds and facts! He made sure we saw everything we wanted to (obviously depending on what the animals fancied!) and didn’t rush us along. Also very safe in his capable driving. Excellent safari and would recommend!

3 day safari
We had an incredible safari experience and everything exceeded our expectations. We visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire, and every park offered something unique and unforgettable.
We were lucky enough to see the Big Five plus so many other amazing animals — including cheetahs! Our guide was fantastic and always made sure we had the best possible experience.
A truly unforgettable trip and something we will remember for the rest of our lives. Highly recommended!

Amazing safari 3 days
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience and couldn’t have asked for anything better. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish and we felt well taken care of the entire time.
Our guide was fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly and always making sure we had the best possible experience. We got to see so many animals and learned a lot along the way. Every day felt unique and unforgettable.
The landscapes were breathtaking, the atmosphere was incredible, and the whole trip exceeded our expectations. This became one of those experiences we will remember for the rest of our lives.
Highly recommend to anyone visiting Tanzania — truly a 5/5 experience!

Excellent safari with great customer service and a knowledgeable guide.
We have just completed a 4 night safari with Mark from Professional Safari’s as our guide.
From the initial contact, the company offered exceptional customer service, even offering additional advice to ensure the itinerary maximised wildlife viewings.
Professional Safari’s were also really helpful at all stages, responding quickly to any questions that I had and even organising airport collection for me last minute.
Our guide Mark was really knowledgeable and very patient in answering all our questions. He knew all the best spots to spot the different animals, and we were lucky enough to spot all of the big 5 plus many many more.
Accommodation throughout were also amazing, with lovely rooms that were comfortable and offered good food.
I would definitely recommend Professional Safaris for your trip to Tanzania and would have no doubts in using them again if we are lucky enough to return.
