Our Serengeti Safari: A Journey Of Awe, Adventure and Gratitude!

October 11, 2025October 13, 2025 by Michael

There are few things in life we see, or experience can compare to being in the Serengeti. This vast open land, filled with more wildlife and fauna than can be imagined, is a must see for those adventurers still looking for the untouched wilderness of yesteryear.

When we first started planning our safari we were amazed by the number of tour operators in the Serengeti. We decided early in the process to try and find the most experienced and personal tour operators available. Our first interaction with Dawn made the choice an easy one.

Until The Next Time…I Will Miss You Africa!

Our family just returned from the best and most amazing trip of our lives – a safari in Tanzania with African Dream Safaris. The trip was flawless with every detail implemented of delicious food, amazing tour guide who was so nice and informative, beautiful accommodations, and travel.

We landed in Kilimanjaro with three nights to rest up in Arusha – two at the beautiful Grand Melia and one at the stunning Arusha Coffee Lodge. Both were exquisite and very different. I highly recommend both places!

It Just Gets Better Every Time!

A few weeks have passed since our family has returned from Tanzania but Tanzania has not left us. At its core this is what makes an African safari so special. It has been written and said many times, in ways more eloquently than I ever could, that Africa plants a feeling inside you that never stops growing. For my wife and I, this started 13 years ago after our first trip with Africa Dream Safaris (ADS). (You can find a link to the review from that trip here: A Magical Symphony for the Senses – A Tanzania Travelogue. We have been waiting for the right moment to return with our children.

When we decided to take a trip to Tanzania, Africa we Googled companies and were extremely lucky that we chose Africa Dream Safaris. From their professional response to our inquiries, their attention to detail in preparing for the trip and delivering a first-class experience, they exceeded our expectations.

Experiencing The True Wild Kingdom!

June 20, 2024January 14, 2025 by Michael

When you grow up watching Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, and your husband asks you where you’d like to go for a milestone birthday, you say, “On safari!” At least I did, and our experience was incredible!

Each Day Exceeded The Next!

August 15, 2023March 6, 2024 by Michael

This by far was the best vacation ever! The reason why it was so wonderful was Africa Dream Safaris. It was clear that we were in good hands from the moment of our arrival in Kilimanjaro. Our guide, Fadzil is a fountain of knowledge on the wildlife, the park, Tanzania. He is the guide all others guides go to find the big cats. He knows where and when to go to see the animals. Best of all, he loves his job, the park, and his clients.

Three Safaris, Three Dreams Come True!

July 7, 2023March 6, 2024 by Michael

After our 3rd ADS safari, we would like to say “three safaris, three dreams come true”, but it just wouldn’t be accurate. In our wildest imaginations, we never dreamed of going on 3 safaris! Thankfully, ADS helped elevate our dreams to a higher standard through treasured, awe filled memories — each unique and new.

Thank You For A Wonderful Vacation!

Overall, for our family, our safari was an unforgettable and, most likely, a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience. However, if we are ever fortunate enough to go on another safari in the Serengeti, we will definitely use Africa Dream Safaris again. For anyone considering a personal safari tour, they should book with Africa Dream Safaris and here is why…

Thank You For Another Wonderful Safari!

We just returned from another safari with Africa Dream Safaris and we are so glad that we didn’t put it off until another year. We found that there was no need to worry about the effect that Covid might have had on venturing on a safari to Africa. ADS only uses lodges and camps where the staff observes Covid protocols of mask wearing, hand sanitizing, and in some places, temperature readings.

We Saw the Big 5 All in One Day

September 19, 2019March 6, 2024 by Michael

When Brian and I thought about going on a safari we had no idea where to start. We heard about safaris in South Africa, but wanted to do something else. I did research on the country, safari companies and the one that kept coming up with all 5 star reviews were ADS, and they did not disappoint. It was all true what people describe about the personal service delivered.

June 13, 2019, Seronera Valley, Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. It was a fitful and exciting night. I could barely sleep in our tented lodge through the sound of roaring lions wandering around Sametu Camp. From 2am to 4am, I lay awake wondering what I would do if a lioness chose to approach my dear cub (AKA my teenage daughter).

The Animal Viewing Will Far Exceed Your Wildest Imagination!

September 14, 2018March 6, 2024 by Michael

When we returned from our Africa Dream Safaris vacation in July 2018, we tried with great difficulty to explain to our friends and family the magic of our experience. We describe it with this analogy: “When you see a wildebeest at the zoo, you think to yourself, “Wildebeest…boring….let’s go see the elephants!” However, on Safari, it feels as though you have been transported back in time when you see thousands upon thousands of those very animals running straight toward your vehicle!

Stop Dreaming, Start Planning, and just GO!

This Africa Dream Safari was a ‘top of the bucket list’ adventure for my daughter and me, as we both celebrate milestone birthdays this year. With the help of Dawn’s expert planning, our dream trip was amazing!

The Early Morning Game Drives Were Spectacular And A Must Do!

It is just before daybreak. A slight chill is in the air. The promise of a pristine day. Two majestic lion brothers come strutting down the road toward our Land Cruiser just 10 minutes outside of Sametu Camp in the Central Serengeti. What a sight, so close it took our breath away!
