- ArFarhanah0 contributionsWould go again!Loved every experience. He made sure we also go to the airport on time and he was an absolute amazing host. Freddy and kamu Went above and beyond to make this experience enjoyableWritten 8 July 2024

- I4178XNpatriciaw0 contributions100% recommend Moonlight tours!!Myself and a friend were visiting Dar es Salaam for a few days before going on to Zanzibar and wanted to experience a safari, but didn't have time to do the larger parks such as Serengeti. Freddy and Moonlight Tours came recommended by an acquaintance and he was able to organise a one day safari to Mikumi national park. He and our driver (Rama) were amazing!! They were both very knowledgeable about the animals and history and culture of the area and we really enjoyed out time. We saw many animals including the illusive Leopard. Freddy also organised a lovely lodge for us to spend the night at and after a morning of spotting more animals, he went above and beyond to drop us at the airport in Dar es Salaam to catch our flight to Zanzibar. This was all done for a very reasonable price. We had such a good time that my friend who was staying in Tanzania longer than me to continue her holiday with her sisters, booked another safari to Ngorongoro with some other additional excursions with Moonlight tours and had an equally amazing time!! So I would 100% recommend them and when I return to Tanzania I will definitely use them again!!Written 7 July 2024
- F7361UFfatimat0 contributionsTarangire, Serengeti, NgorogoroWe had an incredible 4 day safari led by our amazing tour guide, Calvin! Not only was Calvin incredibly kind, but his vast knowledge and PASSION was significantly notable as he taught us all about the parks and conservation areas we visited but also about the rich history of the locals and he even was kind and patient enough to teach us some Swahili! Prior to our arrival, upon checking in to our flight from Zanzibar to Arusha, we were informed that we would be switched to another airline company. Since this was our first time, we were slightly taken off guard and immediately contacted Frederic, the owner, to ask him about this. He quickly responded and offered to call airlines as we needed, always making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the process, something that was very consistent from the day we began planning this trip through them 6 months ago! We cannot mention enough how much we recommend Moonlight Tours! We are already looking forward to our next Safari through them!Written 1 July 2024
- Alexgonz190 contributionsBest HoneymoonThis was the trip of a lifetime for us. We worked with Frederick for months before the trip and he worked out the perfect itinerary for us making sure we got the best of every park and hotel. He responded almost instantly to every question as well and never lacked an answer. As for the actual safari we couldn’t have been more lucky to have Calvin as our guide. Calvin knew as much as you could know on the animals in the parks as well as everywhere you could go to have the best chances to see rare animals. He was quick to point out hidden animals that most would have missed and always made sure we were comfortable and safe. I would absolutely book another safari with Frederick and Calvin again and couldn’t recommend them more.Written 1 July 2024
- 840savitam0 contributionsThank you so much Moonlight Tours ExpeditionWe used African Moonlight Tour Expeditions for our first trip to the African continent. Everything went smoothly. We were met by their representatives at the airport and we didn't have to worry about a single aspect of travel and logistics. We had an amazing time in an amazing country. Their guide was friendly and helpfulWritten 23 May 2024
- Footprints3709250 contributionsThe trip of a lifetime ❤️Our safari with Moonlight Tours was absolutely incredible! The guides were so kind, caring and knowledgeable and the food a lodging were terrific. The unique experience of Safari allowed for an expansive view of how we humans integrate with nature and each other and I felt a profound respect for the manner in which the guides moved us through the experience of life in Tanzania. I am forever grateful 💕🙏💕Written 16 February 2024

- Florian_and_Sophia0 contributionsBetter than we could have imagined!We went on a four day fly-in safari to the Serengeti and it was simply a unique experience! Everything was very well planned and Freddy personally took care that we felt comfortable at all times. Also, our very experienced guide Reginald made the trip perfect! He had a great sense of where to find the animals and made the safari very special. We were free to decide on the spot what we most liked to do and see and accordingly the whole safari was tailor made for us. Thank you so much for this great trip that we will never forget!Written 16 October 2023
- Footprints3709250 contributionsAmazing Safari !!❤️So much knowledge! So capable! So fun!!!❤️ Our group of 11 had wonderful Safari experience from beginning to end. The guides knowledge of the animals and terrain was beyond expectation and the level of communication and caring made every day a joy. The food, the lodging, and all aspects of the experience from morning to night was unforgettable and the confidence that our group had in the guides and their willingness to relate to our needs and the possibilities of our experience together will never be forgotten! I highly recommend moonlight tours❤️ Was this review helpful?Yes NoWritten 1 October 2023
- M6062FXirenem0 contributionsTopnotch SafariI decided to organize a 6 Luxury safari days in Tanzania - Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Central Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorongoro - and decided to contact Soul of Tanzania which was very helpful and professional. I had Fredy as my guide and he was the best guide I could have on this trip. He demonstrated to have a large experience, he was very attentive on all details, he had an “eagle eye” and gave me all the information I may need. Fredy is very polite and easy going. We had 6 excellent days. We were able to see all the Big 5, wildebeest migration, to be with Lions on our side more than once, chetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, buffalo and even a rhino which is very hard too see. I can assure that these days were above all my high expectations and I will never forget this trip. I would love to return with my sons and I assure you that I will organize it with Moonlight Expeditions and request Fredy as our guide. Thank youWritten 6 July 2023
- kagryh0 contributionsThe Perfect MatchEverything was perfect. Starting with the driver till the Luxury accomodation everything was well organized and planned. The best lodges in all parks, best food, perfect drivers I recommend 100% this company Best tour everWritten 4 July 2023
- 750mosesg0 contributionsIncredible Luxury safari!Just finished a 3 day safari through Tarangire National park, Ngorogoro Crater, and Lake Manyara with Moonlight expeditions for a luxury safari trip and it was absolutely INCREDIBLE. Our guides Calvin were absolutely amazing. They were so knowledgeable when it came to the birds, trees, grass, people, animals, etc etc the list goes on a on! When you book with Moonlight expeditions, request them!! The safari car was clean and well kept and always stocked with what we needed and was very comfortable. I could not recommend Moonlight expeditions enough! Our group will return to Africa again and we will be requesting them as our guides!!Written 4 July 2023
- Govan16252t0 contributionsExcellent safaris with Moonlight safarisEmbarking on a safari adventure in Tanzania is an experience that promises to be unforgettable. However, the quality of your experience can be greatly enhanced by the expertise and knowledge of your guide. In our case, we were fortunate enough to have Wilson as our guide during our time with Moonlight safaris. We can confidently say that his guidance and knowledge made all the difference in our safari experience. Wilson's knowledge of Tanzania's wildlife, culture, history, landscape, and people is nothing short of astonishing. He was able to provide us with insights into the country that we would have never been able to uncover on our own. His passion for his work was evident in every moment of our time together. Thanks to Wilson's guidance and expertise, we were able to not only appreciate the visual aspects of the safari but also gain a deeper understanding of Tanzania as a whole. Our experience with Moonlight safaris was very positive thanks to Wilson's exceptional skills as a guide. We would highly recommend him and Moonlight safaris for anyone looking for an unforgettable safari adventure in Tanzania.Written 22 June 2023
- bigestofds0 contributionsSerengeti safariMy favorite part of the safari had to be the wide variety of wild animals we encountered. Lions had to be my favorite but they were all amazing! Giraffes, elephants, leopard, cheetah and so much more! Every day was an adventure! The camps were comfortable and safe and the meals were delicious! Our guides, Seph, Simon, Babu and leader Leonard, were professional fun and extremely educational. They made us all feel very comfortable and important! We were a group of talented photographers and they were very accommodating to each of us and made sure we were able to get the shots we wanted. It was a fun week, I would recommend to everyone!Written 27 August 2022

The Moonlight-Safari-Company made our safari 8 day-experience (to Tarangire Nationalpark, Ngorongoro-Crater, Serengeti-Nationalpark, Lake Manyara and Arusha) really special and amazing. We would recommend a doing a walking safari through Tarangire Nationalpark. It was unbelievable to see the Big Five and many other animals being this close to us. We saw giraffes in the light of sunrise, saw a group of lions having breakfast from 3 meters apart and felt save the whole time. Our guide, Calvin was really calm, passionate and brave. The chief, Freddy, made sure to meet our interests to make the most of our trip and showed us what Arusha has to offer too. We went to the local market and tried African candy and went to a local restaurant for lunch to get to know African food. He even made it possible for us to see a hospital because that was our wish as medical professionals. It was unbelievable. We would definitely recommend a tour with this company! Asante sana!

Because of the Moonlight-Safari Company we had the wonderful experience of seeing the Big Five and so many other different animals, learnt about them and had the chance to observe them closely. We had many eye-to-eye contacts with different animals, great lodges and felt comfortable with our guide, Calvin. The chief of the company, Freddy, threw me a birthday party with songs, a cake with candles, personal gifts and celebrated with us. He is very observant and made sure to meet our interests. He even made it possible for us to see a hospital, because that was our wish as medical professionals and we got to know the African culture with its African vibes. We had a really incredible time and would recommend a tour with Moonlight Safari! Asante Sana!

Me and my husband recently visited Ngorongoro crater, a masaai village and Tarangire park. We saw most of the big five and some beautiful birds too! Our accomodation was comfortable and clean, everyone was punctual and reliable. Our guide, Freddie was one of the kindest people we’ve ever met, always respectful, incredibly knowledgable and well-rounded. He has a genuine passion for the land/animals/people we’ve seen together and made sure to teach us as much as possible during the tour. By the end he was a lot more like family than just our guide. Asante sana for everything Freddie!
