Flawlessly organised, amazing destination and abundance of wildlife. - The safari to Ngorongoro Crater was superb.Currently living in Nairobi, we have been on many safaris and this certainly rated amongst one of the best. The crater is a true phenomenon and worth the trip for the geographical interest, but the abundance of wildlife was amazing. The trip was flawlessly organised with every detail taken care of. The lunch at Hippo Pools was the best safari lunch food we have ever had! The hot lunch (no boxed sandwiches) was a detail that made the day perfect!

So Accommodating, Best Time Ever - This was such an accommodating experience. The staff truly went above and beyond to make sure I could have this experience even though I was a solo traveler. They found a way to make it happen - helping me arrange everything from start to finish. The quality of service was just simply incredible. I had the best time even though I could only go to a day. Wish I could’ve done a longer trip with them. Highly recommend Euphoria!

Lucky day in Ngrongoro - By nature, your satisfaction level for this kind of experience really depends on what you could see on the day of your visit. Having said that, I was quite lucky, in that I could see everthing I wanted to see (all the popular animals, incl. lion from 2m away, and also jackal hunting baby gazelle). Disclaimer for visitor: be prepared for the heat and dust. Massive thanks to the tour guide Simba and the driver Ali!

Well organised and responsive - The Crater is an absolutely beautiful place, and we were able to see all the animals (lions, rhinos, elephants, wildebeest, hippo, flamingo, hyena, golden jackal, buffalo etc.). Gabriel was incredibly responsive and helpful with organising our trip, even for a very last minute request, and accommodated the driver picking us up from our hotel in Karatu rather than Arusha, and starting at 6:15am rather than 8am. A smooth and organised experience. Bryson was knowledgeable and friendly, though perhaps a bit quiet. Overall a great trip.

Well organized safari with a very good lunch - This 1-day-safari was our first. The breakfast place was pleasant and lunch was very good. Our driver was fast. Maybe even a bit too fast for our liking on narrow road along the crater ridge. On the other hand he listened to the radio and helped us find even some rhinos. There was a small delay during pick-up as the organizer forgot which hotel we were staying. Pick-up was on time otherwise and communication was good. Altogether well organized.
