SED Adventures Tours and Safaris

The two-day tour of Tarangire and Ngorongoro national parks was really worth it. I would recommend this for people on a budget and maybe with less time to cover the entire wildlife area of North-East Tanzania. The big five very close to the vehicle coupled with amazing weather and scenery. What more could I ask for? The staff were great too, explaining all the way.

This is my second safari with SED Adventures Tours and Safaris and I would highly recommend them. Our first safari in 2014 was on the southern Tanzania circuit and was thoroughly enjoyed by the whole family. My latest trip in November 2016 was for 11 days to the Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire. The driver guide in both Kenya and Tanzania were fantastic, especially at finding fabulous wildlife but also in making sure we always felt comfortable. Elifasi in the office was both patient and efficient in helping us put together our ideal and affordable itinerary. We stayed in a range of accommodation, including a budget lodge, some camping, and some luxury lodges. The camping in Serengeti was definitely an experience but was ideal for starting each day's safari in the heart of the action. We had a great cook whilst camping who put together great meals and ensured all our dietary needs were met.

Couldn't have been more happy with SED Adventures Tours and Safaris. They organized everything for us, they were easy to communicate with, and comparatively came out with a very competitive price (we tried about 10 other companies). The trip itself was fantastic with days in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Our driver and guide, Anton, was also fantastic. He was considerate on the roads (drove very safely) and made sure we always got the most out of our 24-hour park passes. He was even a mechanic in a former job so when the car had a flat tire we were back on the road again in 10 minutes. I would very much recommend this company.

My fiancé and I did a customized 3-day safari around Ngorongoro and the Serengeti where we camped. What an experience! Our guide, Sharif, was knowledgeable and accommodating. He quickly caught on to my fiancé's love of photography and my geeky love of animals and their habits, so he made sure to get us great photo ops as well as an abundance of info on everything we saw. Our cook, Karim, kept us well fed and even managed to make a delicious quiche in the middle of the Serengeti. It was an amazing adventure!

We used SED Adventures for 8 days with a group of 37 people. This was the second time we used SED, and once again we were pleased! The tour included safari, study visits to an orphanage, a hospital and a coffee plantation, accommodation for 7 nights and transportation. We were all quite impressed with how SED managed to arrange everything in accordance with our needs as a big group. The food was delicious and the guides were friendly. If we have the chance, we will use SED again!

We have taken 3 day tours from Arusha with SED Adventures in January 2016: To Arusha National Park, Ngorongoro National Park and Lake Manyara National Park. SED Adventures was the only tour hosting service that took weather-depending reservations from Germany without prepayment or any deposit for all 3 tours. They even granted us our wish for a German-speaking guide. We stayed in contact up until shortly before our departure to Arusha, so that we were able to adjust our tour planning with SED Adventures depending on the weather forecast. We had scheduled a pick-up date for the day after our arrival, to go over all tours again in person. Everything went perfect. We paid the tours at the end of each tour day. As we were given a lot of trust from the start, the trust we put in SED Adventures was also well-placed.

Our gratitude extends especially to Anthon, who was able to make out animals in a faraway distance while driving, while we were only able to see them through binoculars or telephoto lens when the car stopped. His German-speaking colleague Harrison was then able to give us all the details in our language, which was very interesting and a learning experience.We took the luxury of taking the safari tour only with my wife and myself and it was well worth it. Whenever there were interesting things to see, we were able to stop the car and take our time observing and taking pictures, even if it took a little longer.

Thank you again, SED Adventures for a wonderful experience!

Had an amazing 3 days on safari with SED. We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. We we're so lucky to see all of the Big Five!

We we're meant to go 5 persons, but unfortunately the fifth got sick and could not participate. Eventhough, SED Adventures did not change anything in the safari - not even the price. So good service. The lodges we stayed at during nights were great, with good locations - the second was 4 minutes drive from Lake Manyara.

Our guide, Anton, was also very good. Both at spotting animals (we called him HawkEye) and at getting safari car out of the mud in the middle of the savannah.

Do I come back to Arusha - and I just might do just that to experience the Serengeti - SED is the team to use for the safari.
