        The best safari company!
        We have just completed an epic few days of safari with Assad from Pazuri Porini safaris. Our experience with this company and with Assad was the best we could ever ask for and it was the best safari we have ever done, I would highly recommend everyone to book with Assad without any hesitation. Everything from the beginning to end was organised professionally and in a friendly way, all my questions during our initial communications through whatsapp were answered in great detail and Assad even suggested amendments to my initial plan to make sure we have the best experience possible according to the time of year and the animal movements. Because of his excellent knowledge and suggestions we saw everything we wanted to see from our safari in Ndutu south Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, including all of the big 5, the great wildebeest migration, and even saw rare sightings of leopard and cheetah with their cubs. During the safari Assad was always on the lookout for the highlights of things to see, equipped with his binoculars and could spot rare animals and their movements from so far away that we would otherwise never even notice, and made sure to drive us towards the most strategic positions to se them up close and ensure we get the best possible views of all the animals. During our game drives we were always in the best positions to capture the movements and take great photos of the animals, while most of the other cars didn't see what we were able to see because they were not in the optimal viewing position like we were. Not only a great driver but Assad also gave us so much information about the animals and was able to answer every curious question we had about them, about their behaviours, life cycle, diet, and so many other details, not only just about the animals but the masai tribes who live among them and also the trees and landscape around us. The safari vehicle we were in was very comfortable and clean, and came stocked with plenty of cold drinks in the cooler to keep us hydrated during the drives. The meals we ate in the lodge as well as the packed hot lunches were all excellent and tasty. We have no complaints about anything and highly recommend this company to all potential guests

        Gift of Friendship
        Despite the rainy weather, Nasri helped create a very memorable experience. There was lots of great conversation and laughter. Nasri let us take our time - pole pole - at each location without rushing us. This gave me plenty of time to finally learn how to do backflips off the swing at the hot springs. During the hike to the falls one member in our group had shoes that were not great in the rain and mud ( he was basically slipping the entire time.) Two kids joined us and brought him walking sticks and Nasri took off his shoes and let him use them so he wouldn’t fall as much. The coffee tour was culturally fun and I’m not a fan of coffee but I actually bought some for myself because it was so good! He was also our driver and due to a delay waited 7hrs for us at JRO airport! Although each experience was enjoyable I do not think I would have loved it as much as I did had Nasri not been our guide. He has a huge heart and I’m happy to leave TZ with him as a friend❤️

        One Day trip of activities
        Overall fun and diverse tour. My fave was the hot springs, but I love clear warm water. Hike to waterfalls was nice, with some information along the way. Coffee tour felt a little rushed and routine, but fascinating to see coffee processed in this primitive low-tech way. The lunch was surprisingly tasty and scrumptious.

        Assad is the best safari organizer!
        Assad is the best Safari organizer. He took care of us from the moment we decided to book the safari up to the last day we stayed in Arusha. He came personally to the hotel to explain us about the trip, making sure that we were ready for the most exiting experience of our lives. We strongly suggest this safari tour, very friendly and caring.

        A great experience! Thanks Yusuph!
        We had such a great time on this trip. Yusuph had such great energy and arrived promptly to collect us. He shared lots of interesting information with us and even helped me to locate a charger for my phone. He took some amazing photographs for us that we will treasure forever. The coffee making was great fun and it tasted amazing. The cute dogs were an added bonus and it was lovely to see the local people taking great care of them. The hot springs were a perfect way to finish off the day and relax after the breathtaking hike. Thank you for a great trip Yusuph, you were the best tour guide we have had!

        The best guide ever
        My girlfriend and I went last summer to Serengeti and ngoro ngoro and Assad was our driver but he is an excellent guide. He was able to spot all animals in advance letting us see them easily and explaining their habits and other things I didn’t know. He is a kind person and always available. He speaks English very well and he is always clear and explains everything very well. Thanks to him, the safari was special and without him it hadn’t been the same. I would highly recommend him. He will try to teach you swahili!

        Perfect Trip
        We went on a camping safari and really enjoyed the time very much. You need to know that the transfer time from Arusha to the national parks takes a long time (around 3,5 h). And also the transfer time between the national parks takes some time. A good safari experience highly depends on the guide you have with you. Our guides name was Assad and he was a fantastic guide for us. He has a big knowledge of the animals and the whole Serengeti and other national parks as he es doing the job for 9 years now. It felt like he is still impressed by the wild life and loves spending time there. Also a very nice and friendly cook joined our trip and did an excellent job. The food was always fresh and delicious and he considered any allergy or extra wish of anyone in the group. Ahsante sana, you two!

        Great safari with an amazing tourguide
        We did a 3 day Safari. Two of the three days we spent with the tourguide Assad. He was so kind and you can really tell that he loves what he does! Beside that he always told us a lot of interessting facts about the animals we saw. And no matter what question we asked, he was always able to answer everything. He was really ambitioned to show us all the different species of africas animals. All in all we would really recommend the safari, because it was a big adventure we will remember our whole life!

        Must do
        I had one of the greatest experiences in my life. So happy to see the incredible animal life around the 2 national parks. Thousands of zebras, wildebeest, antílopes on their migration activity. More than 20 lions, elephants, giraffes, etc..: We were lucky to see almost everything we expected thanks to the dedicated work of Assad who was always looking for good view spots and worried about every detail. Food was incredible tasty, thanks to Rich, a wonderful cook.

        Perfect Safari guide!
        This was my dream trip to see the great migration of animals. I was surprised to meet Assad, a super nice, humorous, careful and considerate tour guide. His driving skills are very good. He looked for animals on the grassland for us. Fortunately, we saw the process of cheetah hunting. It was very exciting and unforgettable. Assad introduced animals for us while driving. He was very detailed and interesting, as if he was telling a story. His driving skills were very good and made people feel safe. Assad seized the opportunity and perspective to show us the process of the great migration of animals, which is very exciting. The tour guide Assad is really the best tour guide, helping and caring for others along the way. If you come to Tanzania for a tour, you must look for Assad. I'm already looking forward to taking a tour with Assad the next time I have the opportunity to travel to Tanzania.

        Taiwanese on their first safari in Tanzania
        During 4 days of safari in Tanzania! It’s amazing experiences! I used to see animals in zoos, but when I came to Tanzania's national parks, I was truly touched by the power of life. A good tour guide can enrich your trip, thanks to Assad!
