Based on 4 reviews Amazing safari... Tarangire,Serengeti,Ngorongoro This was an amazing trip, made unforgettable thanks to Ele Adventures. They are well organized and attended to our every need. And we lucked out with our experienced guide we spent several days with. He knows the roads, the animals, the best spots, how to keep us--and the animals--safe. And he is obviously passionate about the animals. He takes his role of both showcasing them and protecting them seriously. Esta M2024-11-21 SAFARI Had such an amazing time in Tanzania on Safari thanks to Ele Adventures. They were very reliable and took us to some fantastic places.A massive thank you to our guide an absolute credit to the company! Azael P2024-11-21 Best trip ever I have done my first trip with Ele Adventures It was a 6-day safari in Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, Tarangire Park and Lake Manyara. I must say I got a lifetime experience that I will never forget. Our guide was one of the best guides I have ever met. He made it to his mission that we should be able to see all the animals we wished to see, not just “the big five”. All the arrangements were very well organized, and I must say that every day went above my expectations. I hope to travel with Ele Adventures again. I can highly recommend them💪 Jennifer M2024-11-21 Great experience! Great guide! It was a really great experience! Our driver Willy was a great guide and made it possible for us to see the big 5! He was very experienced and knew his way around but was also fun to be around. He also asked us what we would like and changed some things to make it even better for us!He planned the whole safari so we didn’t have to plan anything!Overall we would definitely recommend! 😊 Curious933542024-11-20Reviews
