Posted on Glory MVerified AMAZING TRIP OVERALL ⸻Amazing Safari Experience with Animaliatreck.com and Our Guide Chrispin Mlay!I had the most unforgettable safari and tour experience in Tanzania in 2024, all thanks to Animaliatreck.com and our incredible guide, Chrispin Mlay. From the moment we landed to the last day of our adventure, everything was organized with great care, professionalism, and genuine hospitality.Chrispin was not only extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife, parks, and local culture, but he also had a deep passion for nature that made every game drive exciting and educational. His ability to spot animals from a distance was unbelievable — thanks to him, we saw the Big Five and so much more! He made sure we were always safe, comfortable, and well-informed.What stood out the most was the personal touch. Chrispin made us feel like more than just tourists — he treated us like friends, and that made the whole experience even more meaningful. Whether it was a sunrise over the Serengeti, lunch near a hippo pool, or sharing stories around the campfire, every moment felt special.I highly recommend Animaliatreck.com to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Their attention to detail, excellent service, and outstanding guides like Chrispin Mlay made this a once-in-a-lifetime journey. I would absolutely travel with them again!Glory MandariFrom 🇺🇸Posted on Tim BVerified Animalia Treks and Safaris with Chris Our 7-day safari with Chris from Animalia Treks and Safaris was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we met Chris, we knew we were in great hands. He is not only a skilled driver but also a truly kind and attentive guide who made our trip exceptional in every way.Chris's knowledge of the animals and their behavior was impressive. He had answers to all our questions and made sure to share facts that enriched our safari. Thanks to his expertise, we had incredible wildlife encounters — often getting up close to the animals from the best possible angles. He knew exactly where to go and when, ensuring we never missed a moment.The lodges and tented camp Chris selected for us were absolutely perfect. Chris tailored our itinerary to our preferences, always providing flexible options. One day, we wanted to return to the lodge early to relax by the pool, and Chris made it happen seamlessly.Spending seven days together in a vehicle could have been challenging, but Chris's warm personality and accommodating nature made it a pleasure. He truly went the extra mile to ensure we had a fantastic experience, and it showed in every detail.We highly recommend Animalia Treks and Safaris, especially with Chris as your guide. This trip was a dream come true, and we are so grateful to Chris for making it so special!Posted on KarenVerified Tanzania safari This was the trip of a lifetime! From first contact Chrispin was amazing. He picked us up at the airport, assisted with lost luggage, selected camps that were perfect for our family and had the best views. He is incredibly knowledgeable and answered our numerous questions. His experience aided in the fact that we saw the BIG 5 plus more. Would highly recommend!!Posted on Yuan GVerified Great time on a one day safari Animalia Treks was very kind to take just myself on a safari through Arusha National Park. Chrispin, my driver and guide, went the extra mile in almost every way: picking me up from the hotel, teaching me about the animals we saw (giraffe, warthog, flamingo, e.g.), and even letting me shop around Moshi a little. He’s a nice, seasoned safari guide and I would recommend his company to anyone looking to safari in Tanzania.Posted on NorthStar40213759830Verified Yes, YES and Y E S!!! Absolutely incredible experience with this safari! We were shown so many amazing things and the tour guide told us so many stories about his family and culture. He even showed us parts of the safari that other guides wouldn't go to. He gave us gifts and we did a picnic. 100000/10 would recommend him!!Posted on Awe SVerified Animalia Treks and Safari is the best local agency in Tanzania that you can trust to go on safari with. Me and my family just visited Tanzania for both 8days kilimanjaro Trekking and 7days wildbeest and Zebras migration safari in serengeti national park, chris and his own company Animali Treks and Safari made our dreams come true, mountain Guides and all porters were very kind, and very supportive, all of us made it to the rooftop of mount kilimanjaro 5895MTS.If you're planning a trip to Tanzania for kilimanjaro climbing and Safaris please look no further, just keep in touch with Animalia Treks and safari I highly recommend this company.Posted on MVGVAVVerified Trip of a lifetime! Booking a safari is somewhat of a daunting task as you are putting a lot of faith and trust in the company or person you book with. There are numerous details that require attention and you are trusting that they will be arranged to your satisfaction. Since this type of travel makes me a bit nervous, I am certainly happy we had Chris as our guide. There are other companies that will book your trip but then contract another company to guide the trip, leaving you to wonder who you will actually be with on your safari. This is not the case with Animalia, Chris owns and operates Animalia and he handles all the arrangements as well as being your guide for the entire trip. Chris did a fantastic job with all the details and I was grateful for his advice on locations to visit, it quickly became clear he is a very experienced guide. We booked a 6 day trip that included Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and cultural visits with the Masai, Hedzabe, and Datoga tribes. We flew into Kilimanjaro Airport and Chris promptly picked us up. He thoroughly explained all the details to us and briefed the next day’s events every evening. Highlights for us were the Serengeti and the Acacia Central Camp, really enjoyed the experience. Rest assured whatever locations you choose, you are in good hands with Chris and Animalia!Posted on RealdayVerified Incredible Experience!!! My family booked a safari with Animala Treks and Safari company and it was fantastic! Our guide, Chris was very informative, patient and kind. We visited Tarangire and Serengeti national parks, the Ngorongoro Crater, and also had a local cultural experience with some tribes. From the hotels, the food, and the itinerary, everything was absolutely perfect! My favorite was the lodging in the middle of the Serengeti National Park. While we were safely in our camp at night we could hear the wildebeests and lions. It was so cool! Chris goes the extra mile to ensure guests are happy and having the best experience. Don’t look anywhere else if you want to make sure you have the best safari in Tanzania!!Posted on Ginny VVerified BEST SAFARI GUIDE IN TANZANIA!!! BEST SAFARI GUIDE IN TANZANIA!!!! After months of research, my family decided to book a 6-day safari and cultural experience with Chris and it was the absolute best decision we made! This was a once in a lifetime trip and Chris contributed to the unforgettable experience. Communication from the very beginning starting with the planning stage was always clear, honest, and upfront. Chris always responded in a timely manner. From the time he picked us up at the airport to the last day when he dropped us off, he took great care of us. I was so impressed how organized the trip was. Chris took extra time preparing before we arrived in Tanzania to make sure everything went smoothly during our Safari. During the game drives, Chris made sure we had the opportunity to see so many animals. He got us up close and personal, (safely inside the vehicle) to so many! From a pride of lions to a leopard in the tree with its prey (plus many more types of animals), it was all amazing! Chris is extremely knowledgeable in the animal wildlife and geographical landscape of Tanzania. I don’t think there was a question he didn’t know the answer to. We also had the opportunity to visit 3 different tribes during our trip which I highly recommend. A couple in which many tour guides do not offer as an option to tourists, but Chris does! Don’t hesitate in booking a trek or safari with Animalia, I promise you will not regret it!!!Posted on Bree Anna PVerified Worth every penny. Best safari, Trek and tour guide ever. What can I say.... The best tour guide one could ever ask and hope for! Chris knows so much about animals, plants, the region. He taught me, showed me so many things with my family as we ventured out into the Safari. The company did an outstanding job catering to all our wants, needs, allergies, fears, safety.... The tents, the Jeep, the hotels, food, shops, everything was amazing and above all our expectations. I know that I will be returning to see more one day again soon. This company and tour guide is worth every penny. Honest. Reliable ... Our Jeep never broke down or had any issues ... I loved the ac, the space, the safety, the USB cord chargers.... While others, so many I saw broke down. Reliable.. Hard working. Just amazing. Breathtaking views... Don't waste another minute looking for a better deal, safari or trek.... Animalia Safaris and Trek with the tour guide Chris is the only one to go with. Don't go anywhere else.
