In the morning our safari Manager will meet you at your lodge for a short pre-tour briefing. Then you will meet your driver guide, collect picnic lunch and embark on a scenic drive to Tarangire National Park, famous for its large elephant herds, baobab trees, and diverse birdlife.

After early breakfast at the lodge, descend into the crater for an in-depth exploration of this distinctive eco-system. Enjoy abundant wildlife viewing set against the impressive backdrop of the Ngorongoro Crater, the heart of the conservation area. These drives provide one of the best opportunities in Africa to view Black Rhino, which tend to spend their time on the crater floor.
Another big draw card to this Picturesque Caldera, is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, Serval cat as well as the African wild cat which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. Picnic lunch will be served at the crater floor, followed by another game viewing visiting the hippo pool near the Mandusi Swamp, Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner which is one of the main features of the crater, the Lerai forest as well as other parts of the crater.

Witnessing the river crossing needs patience as the herd will often take hours to decide whether or not to cross, weighing the risk of crocodiles and the strength of the rivers current.

EXCELLENT Based on 48 reviews Posted on tamar kVerified Outstanding Safari Guide and a Truly Memorable Experience with Godson We had the absolute pleasure of having Godson as our safari guide, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better! Not only is he a highly professional guide who made sure we saw all the amazing wildlife up close, but he’s also an incredible person. He took care of everything for us and went above and beyond, even when our flight got canceled. He came back to pick us up from the airport, spent the whole day with us, and drove us back again—without expecting anything in return. Godson is kind, funny, and an absolute gem to be around. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania. You couldn’t be in better hands!Posted on Nassim GVerified Professional, kind and wonderful guide and person Godson is a wonderful person and guide. We have loved to make our Safari with him. His availability, kindness and professionalism make our trip very good! We will come back to Arusha and for sure we will make the Kilimanjaro climbing with himPosted on Dan GrayVerified Fantastic! Our safari experience was simply amazing and unforgettable. Godson was the best guide we could have ever possibly hoped for. He made sure that we enjoyed every minute of it and we did! He took care of every detail, from the moment we arrived to the moment we left, everything was organised. His knowledge of animals and parks, his patience and his politeness were second to none….and he was such good company too! We learnt so much from him about animals. When we arrived we said hi to a guide, but when we left we said goodbye to a trusted friend. So if you’re reading this review because you don’t know which safari company to choose don’t look anywhere else. Go with Godson and you won’t regret it..Posted on Nicolò MVerified The real Tanzania supervisor!!! Not a guide but a piece of the family. Godson is the best tour leader there is in Arusha. His great experience allows him to know every place to find the rarest animals in the different parks you will visit. It takes care of you for every logistical, health and cultural need. Always punctual and willing to drive endless hours to satisfy your thirst for knowledge and discovery. There can be no Safari without Godson in Tanzania: the two things are closely linked. Nicolò&SilviaPosted on erica fVerified Honeymoon in Tanzania This was our first Safari, organised for our Honeymoon.. and we couldn’t have dreamt a better week!If you search for an adventure, for days full of stories, curiosities and many, many animals, just book a Safari tour with Godson!We were in Tarangire, Serengeti for two nights and, last but not least, we went to Ngorongoro. Apart from the beautiful wildlife, we experienced the great kindness and humanity of Godson. Great experience: recommended!Thank you,Erica and MassimoPosted on Pam MVerified Two of the most magical safari days! If you're looking for a safari guide in Tanzania, Godson is the man. He patiently answered thousands of our questions, knows everything about the physiology and habits of the animals in the park and unerring seemed to lead us always to the most amazing animal sightings. He also seems to have a magic presence with the animals, while they run from other trucks time after time they came right over to ours, for the most up close and personal encounters.Posted on Sharlaina BVerified Beyond amazing, and so much better than we expected! I cannot convey how incredible this tour was! We spent 3 days in Tarangire National Park and took THOUSANDS of photos. Godson was an amazing guide, knowing just where and when to take us to specific locations. He was also extremely patient and beyond knowledgeable; answering our constant barrage of questions. I highly recommend him and Martial Adventure Safaris for an unforgettable and spectacular safari experience.Posted on Pietro ArzentonVerified An unforgettable experience When we decided to do our Safari in Tanzania for the first time in our life, our travel agent told us that he wouldn’t had sold us the trip if there wasn’t Godson free from other tours. Luckly he was free and then we understood why our travel agent said that to us: even if he saw all the beauties of the savanna many many times I could see his eyes gleaming like ours when we encountered lions and other animals. He is really passionate about nature and he guided us to the best spots in the park that let me took these amazing pics. Godson is absolutely the best guide for the safari in Tanzania!Posted on Naomi SmithVerified 5* Tanzanian Safari Experience! Could not recommend doing the Wildlife Safari Tour enough! As a female solo traveller, I was understandably nervous going abroad alone for the first time but Godson put me right at ease and we had the most incredible time. Having done safaris in other parts of Africa before, I knew what to expect but this was like nothing else I could ever have imagined. The game we saw from day one was simply amazing and I couldn't believe how lucky we got. The service, the food, the experience, literally everything was just perfect and I'm so glad I did it. Would definitely do this again! Thank you, Godson!!Posted on RozaVerified Safari trip with Godson We are SO lucky to meet Godson. Such an intelligent man, a super expert guide with endless positive vibes.We have seen so many landscapes, animals, cultures... and all of that with crazy road stories of Godso haha.Godson, we had the honor to meet you, thank you for being our guide.
