Great 4-day safari, Fantastic! We booked a private 4-day safari with Guruguru Safari for our honeymoon, and it was truly the best trip. The experience was beyond our imagination and a memory we will never forget. Everything went smoothly from start to finish on the safari. The journey to Serengeti National Park was quite strenuous, but the vehicle was air-conditioned and the seats were comfortable, and we were very well looked after the whole time. We stayed at Leo Leo Serengeti Camp which was wonderful the surroundings were beautiful and perfectly balanced, a peaceful haven. The staff were warm and friendly and the food was excellent. The second and third days were full-day safaris in the park, and we were overwhelmed by the amount of wildlife we saw: lions, wildebeest, impala, kudu, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, wild dogs, zebras, hippos, crocodiles and more. Seeing the endangered wild dog was a special highlight, and it was made even more special to learn that it is an iconic species of the park. Our tour guide and driver, Goodlucky, deserves special praise. He was kind, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the animals, the landscape, the villages and the local culture. He made us feel completely comfortable and his driving skills were exceptional. We felt safe at all times.
