Top experience!! Our five-day safari through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Everything was perfectly organised, from the transfers and accommodation to the daily game drives. Everything ran smoothly and professionally, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy every moment. The organisation was truly excellent. A special thank you to our amazing guide, Ernest, whose knowledge, passion and kindness made the whole experience even more extraordinary. My favourite day was in the eastern Serengeti — endless, wild and wonderfully deserted, yet incredibly fascinating. And then, in the middle of this breathtaking landscape, we had the privilege of seeing a family of cheetahs. It was a magical moment that I will never forget. The beauty of Tanzania, the incredible wildlife and the flawless organisation made this a truly unforgettable adventure. Thank you, Ernest, for making our safari so special! ❤️

Unforgettable Safari Experience An incredible experience from start to finish! We visited the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and saw an amazing variety of animals, including some of the rarest ones. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, kind, funny and incredibly good at spotting animals. We also built a wonderful relationship with him, which made the experience even more special. Everything was perfect and truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience! After some benchmarks with other offers me and my family decided to book a 5 days safari experience with Ernest Magic Tours and Safaris. Beside the competitive price, they were able to offer a solution that perfectly matched our requests: a real safari experience to discover wild nature having the right time to enjoy it with no rush. The experience was really amazing not only for the places we visited (central Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater) but also for the personal relationship we built with Ernest. He has guided us through the two areas enriching the safari with cultural and historical details. Furthermore he has an incredible ability to find wild animals even in most invisible places. He made us accomplish both our missions: big 5 and ugly 5! If you look for a personalized service and an unforgettable experience he is definitely the best guide you can find!

Excellent Personalized Tour with Outstanding Service I traveled from Germany with a friend from abroad on a one-week tour with this company. We were very well looked after. The itinerary was tailored to our individual wishes, the booked accommodations were all clean, the value for money was excellent, and the service was outstanding. They checked in on our needs every day, and the drivers were very friendly. No one was pushy, and they took excellent care of our daily well-being. At the same time, a beach program in Zanzibar was also organized. I can recommend this company without reservation.

Excellent safari tour operator Ernest was absolutely wonderful as a guide through our 3 night 4 day safari in Serengeti, Ngornogoro, and Tarangire national parks. He had an extensive knowledge of the parks, the animals, and the Masai and Tanzanian people surrounding the areas we traveled through. We bombarded him with questions throughout the trip and he graciously and thoughtfully answered all of them. Highly recommend anyone looking for an unforgettable experience to work directly with Ernest tours - cannot speak highly enough of him and the team!

Excellent safari company in Tanzania Tote for This review We had an amazing 5 day safari in Tanzania with Ernest Magic Tours and Safaris, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Everything was well organized from start to finish, the vehicle was comfortable, the accommodations were great, and the overall service was excellent. A special thank you to Raymond, our guide, who made the trip even more special. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Raymond knew exactly where to find the animals and shared so much interesting information about wildlife and nature. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five and enjoyed every game drive. We highly recommend Ernest Magic Tours and Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. It was a wonderful adventure that we will always remember!

Amazing safari in Tanzania Would like to highly recommend Ernest Magic Tours for safari booking. We had a fantastic experience from the moment Ernest and Regina met us at the airport to being dropped off by our excellent guide Karim. We visited Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro and Serengeti …all just amazing. Karim our guide was fantastic at finding the Big 5 as well as the Ugly 5… highlights were the leopard and cheetah with 5 cubs in addition to the herds of wildebeests and zebras in the Serengeti, the elephants and Baobab trees in Tarangire, and the lions, buffaloes and rhinos in Ngorgongoro crater not to mention the beautiful scenery in all the parks, the sunrises, the balloon ride and the visit to the Maasai village and market in one of the villages on the way to Arusha and finally the beautiful accommodation one of which was a migration camp with WiFi, hot showers , campfire , in the middle of the Serengeti guarded by Maasai at night while we slept to the sounds of the animals including zebras and lions … all truely amazing and all of this in just 5 days … A huge thanks to our guide Karim who with his more than 15 years of experience found the animals, could predict their movements and always seemed to position the jeep for the best photos … we had great chats in the jeep and a lot of laughs … Karim also made sure we had lovely picnic spots looking at hippos in the Ngorongoro crater or the zebras and wildebeests beside the water in the Serengeti … he really made our trip so unforgettable with loads of fantastic memories. So to conclude would strongly recommend Ernest’s safari company together with Regina and Karim. They are customer focused, flexible, good fun and have a huge understanding of how to provide a really great experience for their customers. Thankyou Karim, Regina & Ernest for an amazing experience from start to finish. I

Excellent professional and customer focused operator I can strongly reccommend Ernest Magic Tours and Safaries and for you who maybe like us were new to this and not sure what to choose amongst tons of offers here is why I found this operator nothing but just excellent. First of all Ernest MT are a completely reliable operator. We had some troubles transfering money and we had to make a few late changes to the trip and all was accomodarted without any problems. Ernest, the owner himself, even turned up and met us in the Kilimanjaro airport. Second, everything was delivered according to the standards, description and itinarary described in the contract, no surprises. Third, the company is still relatively small and works only with experienced guides. This is probably the absolute most important part to look for. Our guide Karim had 15 years of experience and was outstanding, completely committed give us as clients the best possible experience from our perspective. We love to see as much as possible of culture, landscape and of course wildlife and he gave us that, was very friendly and almost became and extra member of the family during the trip. You spend around 12-14 hours a day with your guide so this is important. When you are on safari there is no guarantee that you will see every animal but the experienced guides, like Karim, give you a better chance and when you have found the animal, the next thing is to find the right way to see it. The experiences guide can predict the next move and in many occations our jeep was positioned in the front row of action e.g. the leopard climing a three, a cheeta with her five cubs playing around her or a herd of elephants crossing the road just in front of the jeep. Fourth, giving the little extra. On our way back on a day where we spend more than 14 hours together, there was still time for a 30 min stop in a town on Christmas day attending a local market. I am sure there are many good safari operators and some bad. If you choose Ernest MT I think I can say you are in good hands. Our experience was just excellent.
