Came across Ella’s site while searching for a family safari option in Tanzania. We contacted her recommendations and of those Frank at Serengeti Clarity was extremely responsive and helpful at setting up a custom made tour for us. Ella also provided a nice pdf summary of things to think about for travelling. I would just add that if you fly into Kilimanjaro be prepared for very slow moving queues to check visas and passport. We had a great family holiday. Thanks Ella for providing the reviews.

My Safari with Serengeti Clarity in Tanzania was AMAZING. Thanks to Ella for the great recommendations and tips on her website, highly recommend taking her advice on which tour company to use!

If you are in doubt, reach out to Ella – communication and advice 10/10.

Thanks Ella

We recently used Safaris by Ella to help us connect with a local tour and safari company in Tanzania, and it was such a game-changer. Before finding Ella’s site, we felt overwhelmed by the number of safari companies out there. But after filling out her quick survey, we received quotes from three highly responsive companies within just 48 hours (two of the three responded within 1 day). Each company customized detailed itineraries and quotes based on our preferences. We also reached out to a couple of other companies (not through Safaris by Ella) recommended by friends or online reviews, but those responses were slower, the itineraries were less flexible, and the trip cost was more expensive.

In the end, we chose Serengeti Clarity, one of Ella’s recommended companies, and couldn’t have been happier. Nearly every part of our trip exceeded our expectations—from the comfortable jeep and great accommodations to the delicious food and fantastic guides. Frank, the trip coordinator was incredibly responsive and gracious, which made the experience even better.

We initially thought this would be a once-in-a-lifetime trip, but planning was so easy, and the cost was more reasonable than expected. We’re already thinking about future safaris and will definitely start the planning process with Ella again!

When I started researching a safari for our family, I learned that booking directly with tour operators was a great way to support the actual businesses running the tours and save some money. But, it’s difficult to do that research from a continent away. I came across Safaris By Ella and it ended up being the perfect way for us to research and book a safari in Tanzania. We requested quotes, spoke to a few operators directly over email and WhatsApp, and ultimately booked with Serengeti Clarity.

They were so helpful from start to finish and we had a wonderful time l, all well within our budget. I can’t thank Safaris by Ella enough for putting this platform together. I’ve recommended it a few times now to different people! It made a safari a possibility for us. I’m still blown away that we saw the big 5 without even going into the Serengeti! Plus, it didn’t cost us thousands of dollars per person. It was a fantastic experience with our daughter and made it possible for us to still safari with a 2 year old. We are definitely planning to go back when she’s older too!

Dear fellow travelers,

I am this review from my heart for the very first time. When my husband asked me to travel to Tanzania and Zanzibar, I was super excited. We planned our 9 day trip in the month of April. We did research on google, YouTube and lonely planet. We spoke with few friends as well. We are frequent travelers so we were quite sure that we will plan our trip by ourself. But to my surprise it wasn’t the case. The more I was doing my research about trip, I got to know that I will need somebody to help me with safari and also to book accommodation at the right place. So I start contacting various tour operators to know what they can offer and how they can plan itinerary for my family of 3 (2 adult and 1 child).

Frank from Serengeti Clarity was the best person that we were looking for. He was the only person who understood our dietary requirements (vegetarian), budget and travel logistics (domestic flights).

We got all our answers promptly which was reassuring. We started from Zanzibar and then took domestic flight for Arusha. Later in Tanzania we went to Tarangire National park, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro crater, Hadjabe tribe, Datoga tribe, Masai tribe and finished with a day trek on Mount Kilimanjaro.

We can’t thank enough and praise our guide Kevin’s driving across the muddy roads and his knowledge about animal kingdom. He was always ready to help and tried his level best to show us all big 5s and much more. We had great Funtime together which we will always cherish.

We always had good vegetarian food which we requested.

We felt very safe and happy during our entire trip. People were always very welcoming and polite.

We will recommend Serengeti Clarity to our friends and family members. We will come back again soon to touch the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. Asante Sana (Thank you)

Her support for local travel agencies is absolutely commendable!! From the beginning to the very end, Ella was incredibly helpful for me to have a family safari trip with Serengeti Clarity. She was always very fast in responding to my questions I couldn’t ask the travel agent, i.e. average amount for tipping.

Safaris by Ella really helped me select a local safari operator that was tried and tested and that I could trust. Many thanks Ella, if it wasn’t for you I’d still be trawling through the minefield of options. I settled on Serengeti Clarity and will post my experiences when we return

Amazing experience great crew, great adventure worth doing it hundred times. Our guide Adrian made the impossible possible finding all the right spots so we can witness all the big five and make the best photos ever.being at the Savannah is something extraordinary and I can’t wait for my next expedition to the wild.. Frank organized Perfection And we’re very grateful for the unique time we had!. Adrian You are the real lion of the Savannah. Thanks man. See you soon.✌️🙏🏻

Our safari was beyond amazing! We were fortunate enough to witness the Big 5, and I must say, the highlight of our trip was the exceptional drive led by Kevin. Was your first time doing safari and we love it, great experience.

A huge thank you to Ella for helping us choose our first safari adventure. Her friendliness and helpfulness made the decision easy.
