I planned my trip with Godlisten six months in advance, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He took the time to understand my preferences, budget, and expectations, offering valuable advice that made all the difference. The outcome was simply perfect! Our guides spoke French fluently, making it easy to ask questions and engage with the experience. We opted for camping accommodations, which I highly recommend for an authentic safari adventure. The cook who accompanied us was incredible, preparing delicious meals throughout the trip. Meeting the Maasai people was a highlight, a moment where time seemed to stand still. Thank you for making this journey unforgettable! I wholeheartedly recommend Safari Stride for organizing the trip of a lifetime.

My wife and I had a fantastic ten-day private safari in Tanzania with Safari Stride in July 2024. We worked with Rachel in their office to plan a custom safari that included Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti National Park and the Northern Serengeti. She was helpful, patient and very responsive.
Our guide on the safari was Patrick, and he was fantastic. He seemed always to know the best routes and the best places to see wildlife, and did his best to accommodate our interests. He was a veritable font of knowledge about wildlife, trees and plants. We saw everything we hoped for and much more -- the so-called big five, the great migration, and wildebeest river crossings, plus large numbers of giraffes, gazelle, zebras and many other animals, and uncountable numbers and species of birds.
The tour vehicle was in great condition and comfortable. Safari Stride provided delicious hot lunches daily. The accommodations (hotels on the first and last night, and tented camps the other nights) were delightful. On a whim, we let them know the trip was a celebration of our 40th anniversary. To our surprise, they honored us nearly every night.
The entire Safari Stride team provided a well-coordinated and wonderful safari that exceeded our (admittedly high) expectations, at a competitive price.

We have originally booked our Safari in the Northern circuit of Tanzania back in 2020 just before the pandemic burst and our travel plans were being screwed; we liaised with Safari Stride who kept our deposit valid for when we would have been able to re-organise our trip, and finally 2022 was good to go. Communication in these difficult months have been good and we got timely responses updating us around the situation in Tanzania. Re-booking has been also easy and smooth and the original plan was retained and we received enough information for pre-departure. Also, they have extremely helpful and kind to buy for us a few bus tickets for the following stop of our journey across Tanzania.
The organisation of the Safari has been flawless and very well set, the vehicle was spacious for the two of us and we travelled comfortably along the bumpy roads of the parks. Our driver and guide has been super professional, kind and flexible to accommodate our needs; he also provided information on wildlife as we spotted them in our game drives.
All accommodation were comfortable, good, clean and very well kept; also services and food in the tented lodges was perfect for us.
All in all I think Safari Stride is a reliable and professional company and I would recommend them with no hesitation.
