My husband and I have just returned from the most amazing 13 day Tanzania safari with Ol Itiko. This was unlike any trip we have been on before and when we decided that we wanted to go on a safari, we had no idea where to start. We reached out to several safari companies and ultimately decided on Ol Itiko because we felt that while all companies offer the same basic options, Ol Itiko seemed like they had a more personal approach, and that was something we really felt through the entire planning process and the trip itself. Every person that we had the privilege of interacting with at Ol Itiko was so friendly and clearly put their heart into this company. Throughout the planning process they provided a starting point for us to work from with an itinerary they recommended, and assisted us to make changes to the itinerary or accommodations that suited our preferences. They were very quick to respond to questions and they really made the planning process so easy. From the moment we arrived in Tanzania until the moment we left, we felt so well cared for. All of the details had been taken care of before we arrived and we truly got to enjoy every moment of our vacation. Our driver Abbas made our trip so special. He is an excellent guide and clearly loves his work. He is impressively adept at navigating the parks and the rugged roads. He had so much to share with us about Tanzania in general, as well as everything safari related. He is quick to spot animals that are hidden or far away, and is so knowledgeable about all of the animals. We learned so much from him and he always seemed to have an answer to any question we could come up with. There were many times that his quick navigation got us the perfect front row seat to see something incredible. He made us feel very safe in a new place and we really enjoyed getting to know him. All of the accommodations that were arranged for us were perfect. Every place was better than the last and we got to stay in some very unique and fun places. We cannot recommend Ol Itiko enough. If we ever find ourselves in Tanzania again we would not hesitate to plan another trip with them. They helped to bring our dreams to life and went above and beyond anything we could have expected.

My wife and I just went on a 14 day/13 night honeymoon safari with Olitiko and were absolutely over the moon how amazing it was. We reached out to Olitiko as we saw they had excellent ratings online and the actual experience was completely in line with that. In the initial stages of contact, they were very flexible in accommodating our long timeline and helped us create an itinerary that included all the big safari destinations (Tarangire, Serengeti, Mara river crossings, Ngorongoro) we wanted to see. In the end, we had an amazing trip that was mostly safari but also had a cultural trip to visit a local Maasai tribe and Lake Natron (no one told us how hot it would be!). Abdullah and Joseph worked with us in this stage and were always prompt if we had questions about things. Upon arrival at the Kilimanjaro airport, we were picked up and driven to Arusha by Abdullah, where we stayed our first night before embarking on the full journey. Our driver (Abbas) took us on our trip from there and he was absolutely incredible at driving us around to make sure we saw every animal we wanted to see. Abbas had an amazing sense of humor and was extremely light hearted and fun and his natural energy was infectious. He also loved quizzing us on Swahili words, which we learned a little by the end. He knew his way through the Serengeti and the other parks very well, and we saw hippos, lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, hyenas, warthogs, zebras, rhinos, buffaloes (i.e. the big 5 and more!). He gave us the trip of a lifetime and we're forever going to remember the experiences we made out there. At the end of our trip, Abdullah actually came to visit and ask how our trip went, which was a nice personal touch to it all. The lodging that they selected for us was all very incredible too. We really enjoyed the tented camps in the Serengeti and Tarangire the most, they were amazing accommodations, the food was excellent, and the animals were always nearby, which made the experience fun. In particular, in the Northern Serengeti camp, wildebeest were everywhere due to the migration season, and in the Central Serengeti, we saw hippos and elephants roaming around nearby. Overall, Olitiko planned a trip that checked all the boxes for us and I would do another safari with them in a heartbeat!!

Every year I travel for my birthday and this year Tanzania was the country selected. Once I decided, one of my friends told me I had to do the Safari with Ol Itiko, he had done one in the past and couldn't stop talking great things about them. And the moment I contacted Eshan Adbala I understood why. He was always available, attentive, ready to accommodate my needs and answer my questions and doubts. The moment he learnt I was going to celebrate my birthday there, he did all to prepare a memorable day full of surprises. The moment we arrived and met, it was fantastic to put a face into the person that for months has been so caring. The safari was about to start and to accompany us we had Abasi, our guide for the next 3 days and what a guide. He is fun, happy, always full of energy, accommodative of all our needs (trust me, I can be in a very bad mood if I am missing coffee, and he always found the coffee for me). He took us to everywhere needed in order for our experience to be the best possible, and I can tell you, it was better than I could have ever dreamt of. We saw so many animals, we understood their lifestyles and got to know everything we had to about them and our surroundings. Abasi is super knowledgeable. As I mentioned already, the day of my birthday came and it was simply fantastic, great ambience, amazing lunch with birthday cake and surprises and gifts. And again in the evening there were surprises. Obviously the entire Serengeti came to know it was my birthday and a lot thanks to the fantastic care the people from Ol Itiko had with me. Please, choose them when you go to Tanzania, you will be overwhelmed with how your expectations are going to be exceeded.

We traveled with young kids, and the service was unmatched. When my daughter left her doll at the first stop (Usa River), I thought it was gone forever. Instead, Abdul and his team went above and beyond, arranging for it to be delivered to us at the airport before we left. The safari itself was fantastic. The guide was wonderful with the kids, fostering their curiosity, teaching them Swahili animal names, and answering all their questions. Unforgettable experience and true, kind-hearted people!

We found Olitiko Safaris on facebook and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. They picked us up at the airport and even walked us through immigration, making sure that it was a smooth process. Our game drives were amazing, making sure that we saw it all and we did! They went above and beyond, surprising us, with an incredible birthday celebration! It was so special that it even brought me to tears. If you’re looking for an operator in Tanzania, look no further… Olitiko Safaris is the best.
