Dreaming of a safari? Escape the Ordinary!
Our trip with Safari Nuggets was outstanding. We chose their 7 Day Off The Beaten Path Safari, and it was the perfect fit for our travel style. Our guide and driver Matthew was incredibly kind and extremely good at placing us in the perfect spots. We saw every animal we had hoped for! Matthew got me up close to a cheetah, which was top of my personal list :) We watched a lionness hunt zebra, lion cubs playing, rhinos walking around, a leopard stalking a dik-dik, and more giraffes and elephants than I could count. We even got to visit the Hadzabe and Datoga, which was unforgettable in itself. Amazing--and all in one week! We travel regularly, primarily on our own. I mention that to emphasize how Safari Nuggets met all of my expectations and more. The accomodations and food were perfect for us, the itinerary was well organized, and our guide was simply awesome. The drives are long, and like Matthew told us, the vehicle makes or breaks the trip. It was a well equipped, comfortable safari jeep that we had zero problems with. If you can't tell by now, I'll say it plainly: I would recommend Safari Nuggets to everyone! I can't thank them enough for making our trip so special.

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Lemosho climb
Climbed Kilimanjaro in October 2024 with Safari Nuggets via the eight-day Lemosho route. It was a private expedition as it turned out, with my wife and I being accompanied by a team of twelve highly professional men. Guide Johnson, assistant guide Joy (indeed always cheerful), chef Present and 9 porters, each with his own task. The trip was excellently prepared by Lolarip and his team. Picked up from the airport exactly on time, excellent accommodation in Moshi, good instructions on what to bring in terms of clothes, shoes and other things. Then to the mountain with the whole team and then we really enjoyed the environment with the changing scenery during the climb. Each day was a manageable distance to walk, the porters walked ahead and took care of setting up camp. No new, but good gear and a private toilet. Delicious food prepared by Present and a cheerful Billy who also had the role of waiter, but also took every opportunity to teach us some Swahili! We were lucky with the clear weather on the day of the climb to the summit, so the visibility combined with the full moon was excellent. The sunrise was unforgettable! Fortunately, because of the 8-day format and the leisurely pace (pole-pole), we did not suffer from altitude sickness. By the way, that was tested twice every day during the medical checkup.All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would recommend Safari Nuggets to anyone! Even after our trip ended (when we went to Zanzibar on our own), Lolarip was happy to help us solve some problems. Thanks!

Trip of a lifetime
We spent nine days touring the Northern Safari Circuit including Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Natron and it was absolutely superb. As is always my way, I left the organising of the trip to the last minute, but Lolarip was unflappable – prompt to reply, utterly flexible and he found us the very best accommodation for our budget and all at short notice. Our guide Salehe was wonderful – an incredible driver and extremely knowledgeable. I am a keen birder and Salehe helped identify and me learn about hundreds of new species AND he didn't grumble even when I made him stop for every lilac-breasted roller rather than focusing on looking for leopards. I can't recommend Safari Nuggets highly enough -- it was a brilliant adventure from start to finish. :)

Trip of a lifetime
Just back from an amazing 10 day adventure on the Northern Tanzania Safari Circuit, all neatly organised with Lolarip from Safari Nuggets. From to outset, communication was fluid, and the camps we chose all lived up to the advice given during the planning phase. Everything was pre-paid and the only thing we had to cover at the lodges were the incidentals.I think the particular highlights for me was visiting the Ngorongoro Crater, and spending the evenings in the camps on the rim, not forgetting the enchanting Rhotia Valley Tented Lodge we visited en-route.I’d like to thank our driver Salehe for the excellent job he did driving over 2000km on some very challenging terrains. Not only did he make every effort to ensure we saw all the big game, his knowledge of birds was first rate and we got to see and photograph many interesting species.I would recommend Safari Nuggets without hesitation.

超级难忘的旅行
The first email asked me to choose safari nuggets, because the boss's reply was very organized and clear, and the communication was very good. There is no need to say the rest. It's perfect.中文向导的报价很实在，小哥叫希望，他陪了我们6天的行程，一路聊得很开心！！司机Nicholas比较沉默寡言～但是车技相当好，也找到了超多适合拍照的位置！photo by me😋⬇️

Safari Nuggets- Your Luxury Safari Dream Adventure Come True
Safari Nuggets gave us the safari experience of a lifetime. Our tailored tour allowed us to see the Big Five across national parks such as Arusha, Tarangire, and Lake Mantra. Our experience at the Ngorongoro Crater was unforgettable as we got to see massive elephants, rhinos, lions, wildebeests, zebras, hyenas, baboons, flamingoes, and so many other exotic birds. Nicolas' and Lolarip's vast knowledge of the ecosystems and its inhabitants enriched our learning experience and the wanderlust adventure that we sought to fulfill. Each night was met with an unforgettable stay at a relaxing and luxurious lodge plucked straight out of a Hollywood movie set. From the vast array of animals and environments, to the cultural experiences provided, Safari Nuggets delivered on all levels. Safari Nuggets is the answer to any of your safari questions. They take care of everything and they especially take care to ensure that you have the experience of a lifetime. I highly recommend the Safari Nuggets. I look forward to booking my Serengeti Safari adventure with them in the future. We took this adventure after a week long ascent of Kilimanjaro - it was the perfect after party adventure!

Best experience ever
What an amazing experience with Lolarip and the guide!! We land in Kilimanjaro and they pick up us at the airport and took us to Forrest Hill, in Arusha; its a nice hotel, with an infinity pool with view, to relax before starting the safari.The next day, we woke up very early and the adventure started; we saw everything we want to see and we stayed a night in Sound of Silence, in Serengeti, a lovely experience!! In the meantime, we had lunch in seregenti (outside the car) after checking there were no animals around us.The third day also started very early and we saw a lot of action.Many thanks to Lolarip and the guide, they were very kind to us and provided everything to give us an unforgivabble experience

Wonderful Safari Ever!!
Amazing! A special appreciation to our guide Simon for his patience, timing and professional service. It had been 5 days of adventures in the parks, we spotted a lot of wildlife as he drove us to exactly what we wished to witness. It was such an entertainment for us. Thanks to Lolarip for an excellent organizing our safari, we are grateful and looking forward to coming back for Kilimanjaro climbing challenge. I highly recommend this company for your expeditions.
