A Journey We Would Happily Repeat We would highly recommend Serengeti Cheers and our guide, Shedrack, for anyone planning a Tanzanian safari. Our group of 21 people, families, and friends embarked on an 13 Day Luxury+ Safari Adventure. The trip included a Mount Kilimanjaro hike, game drives in Tarangire National Park, Central Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Highlands, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and ended with a relaxing visit to Zanzibar Island. Serengeti Cheers took care of us every step of the way. Our journey began with a warm reception at Arusha Airport, complete with Maasai dancers and refreshing snack boxes after our long flights. Later, we enjoyed a wonderful welcome dinner at the Gran Meliá Arusha, where the chefs prepared a diverse selection of dishes to suit all tastes and dietary needs, including options for vegetarians and guests who do not eat beef. During the safari, Davies and the support crew traveled alongside our 3-jeeps convoy through the Serengeti to guarantee safety, comfort, and seamless coordination. The entire trip was thoughtfully planned with exceptional attention to detail. Our guide, Shedrack, was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. He enriched our experience with insights into historical sites, wildlife behavior, Swahili expressions, and driving customs within the parks. His excitement and passion made the journey even more unforgettable. In the end, our safari was a remarkable and deeply touching experience, one we would happily relive.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
