We experienced Tanzania as if we were explorers from National Geographic! EXG Safaris LLC greeted us from touch down to departure and took us in as family all in between our 15-day journey. Our 1st stop was to the Serval Wildlife Sanctuary where giraffes, zebras, turtles, and an albino lion roamed freely and we got to feed, pet, and have pictures made with them (didn't feed lion). Shout out to Wilfred who shepherded me through the terrain. Our personal safari guides, Hassan and Obert became our sons and brothers as they accommodated every wish we voiced (fresh avocados, ginger beer, sight-seeing stops). The knowledge we learned will not be lost. We'd only heard and dreamed of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Park, etc, but got to live, breathe, touch, smell and know/sense, hear/speak tongue of Mother Earth/the motherland. We acknowledged that we were surrounded by the first lands and first peoples of the planet. Every person we encountered met us with the hugest, most authentic smiles you could imagine, gleamed from the most gorgeous and diversified radiance. We got to see the Big 5!! Before coming, I didn't even know that that was a thing! The hostesses, Glory and Beatrice generously gifted us (wink-wink; I misplaced something, which they replaced) and shared so much info when they popped up at various and distant locations we encountered. They always were so graceful and pleasant to see. We now have additional daughters and sisters. We added a Serengeti Hot Air balloon experience and would highly recommend! Shout out to our pilot, Blake, our guardian Ezekiel. a very proud and ambitious young man, Eddie, from Serena Hotel (one of our bedding accommodations) who is a very engaging young man, prepped and assisted us both before and after landing. Did I mention the champagne and breakfast in the Serengeti after the landing? Whoa, it was surreal! We were so elegantly served by culturally donned masters of the universe!!! Shout out and many thanks to Frank, Phillip, Osmund, Shariq, all the other team members, and also to all the co-travelers! We made forever contacts (I hope)! Justin (CEO), you put together a fabulous team and excursion! Seeing the Big 5 in their habitat doing their shenanigans, and meeting, greeting, and talking to nomadic people (Maasi, Bushmen, Datoga, and Hadzabe) was humbling as we contemplated existence in far-away and dense terrains for millenia. This was a well thought out itinerary and a so much appreciated experience. Needed it!! Thank You All Very Much! Hakuna Matata!

We travel a lot and have been on two other safaris in Africa but this was the best safari and one of our best trips if not the best. We learned so much about the many animals we saw each day, the best guide, and stayed at wonderful resorts. Every November is a great time to go as it was right at the beginning of the rainy season, not hot and the landscape was green and lush. My husband is a photographer and enjoyed taking thousands of photos.

The company is comprised of delightful and warm individuals! Each person we met was helpful and informative. Our luxury safari during July was truly an amazing experience. Upon arrival, we were met with refreshments and more. At this time, we met our guide, Frank, for the first time; he was fabulous. His knowledge of the area, the animals, the vegetation, and the people was superior. The places we stayed were delightful and were filled with helpful staff and kind individuals. We were able to see the BIG 5!!! Frank was so happy to provide options and truly surpassed our expectations. I cannot wait to share this experience with others!

This was a 10 Day Safari adventure into Tanzania. It included a variety of National parks, stays in phenomenal lodges, and game drives beyond expectations. Our guides, Fadhili and Hassani were fantastic! I will request them for future travelers. We enjoyed daily game drives after relaxing breakfasts at the lodges, then, picnic lunches out in the wild! Time to freshen up after the day before dinner, and then time to get some well needed sleep before the next day's adventure.

Shared a once in a lifetime experience with the most wonderful safari partner, EXG Safaris. Everything was perfect from the wildlife sightings, our guide Pateick Paul beyond amazing (knowledgeable, patient and fun!) The hotel and tent hotel accommodations were beyond spectacular. It was a learning opportunity as a travel advisor and I look forward to sharing this experience with my clients as they are ready to book a once in a lifetime experience... highly recommend EXG.
