About our safari vehicles

Set up in our safari vehicles are, 6 window seats behind the driver for maximum game viewing experience which is our least recommendation for normal private tours. Otherwise, for some photographic safaris, we have a special open-sided jeep and we recommend a maximum of 3 professionals per car due to the carry-on of large photo tools like lenses and stands.

I went on a 7-day safari that allowed me to navigate the great parks such as the Serengeti; our guide Beatus, head of Passionate Guides (because there are other guides too in this friendly family company) was simply exceptional because he took the time to explain to us (my family and friends) with patience and pedagogy everything about the flora and fauna.
His kindness and erudition are impressive. His experience of over 10 years enabled him to show us all the Big 5 and much more.
He drove very smoothly and the Toyota 4x4 was very comfortable and clean.
I loved the meals, fine local cuisine.
He was able to guide us in our choice of accommodation and we were delighted each time we discovered a new lodge.
Beatus is a reassuring guide because he has a great deal of experience and you can feel it.
He also understands French very well and knows how to explain in our language. Of course, his English is perfect.
We shared a lot and laughed together at dinner. Perfect if you're looking for a relationship that's more friendly than commercial.
Contact, negotiation and pre-trip advice go smoothly, and it's easy to build a tour under these conditions. What's more, the price for this safari was far more attractive than the competition for the quality offered, so I wholeheartedly recommend Passionate Guides.

I booked a 4-days northern Tanzania safari on my own at Passionate Guides due to limited time. I can highly recommend booking your safari trip at Passionate Guides, whether it be for short or long duration, whether it be solo or in (small) group. Furthermore I can highly recommend booking the photographer Fahad Fuad (pics not attached) if you want nice and professional pictures. He is a true artist when it comes to wildlife and travel photography. It is not always easy to travel alone in a country you don’t know, and especially for this, Beatus the owner of PGT accompanied me during the whole trip and made sure I got a personalized, professional but warm treatment. This trip has been by far the best experience of my life in terms of booking with tour operators and I felt surrounded by family/friends rather than strangers. They live up to their name; which originated from feedback of clients. Booking with Passionate Guides is worth every single penny of your investment and if I could give one advice it is to book your trip as long as you can. If I can give another advice it is go for Fahad if you want the best pictures. They will listen to you, adapt to your needs and make sure you get the best experience and capture. I decided to listen to advice instead of starting the trip with a lot of demands and expectations and I would recommend this approach to anyone. Passionate Guides is not just there to organize and plan, but they have true expertise that will make you discover the highlights of your trip. If you want a true authentic experience instead of a commercial tourist trip, then go for PGT. Big warm thanks to all of the team who I consider family now.

"Passionate guide - High end experience - Excellent value for money"

We have just completed our 10-day safari in July 2023. Four of us with Beatus, we covered a long and fantastic itinerary of 1600 km, including all the major NPs up to the incredible Mara River in the north of the Serengeti during the migration period (and not just the central and southern Serengeti, where many companies will limit themselves without necessarily telling you). So many species, in such numbers... Our advice is to trust your guide and let nature come to you. Without trying to see absolutely everything, you'll end up seeing it all anyway, as long as your guide is passionate and truly experienced. « Passionate Guides » has made all this possible. Knowing that beyond his job as a safari leader, Beatus also has a deep knowledge of nature in general and of animals in particular, acquired from father (who was a veterinarian working with the Masai) to son. First of all, we expressed our wishes for these ten days and then trusted the proposed itinerary, which turned out to be perfectly adapted to the movements of the animals according to the season and the places visited. The most interesting places are not necessarily the most frequented, and we often went off the beaten track where few vehicles actually went. With Beatus, you'll see real Masai people along the way, where you least expect it. A thorough knowledge of this infinite nature and a good pair of binoculars are the best allies of the best guides, enabling you to see sights that others won't have the chance to see (the radio between guides alone isn't enough and may lead you to the easiest places full of 4X4s).
We opted not to use an intermediary tour operator in order to better control the quality of the service offered (an intermediary will often book a guide who is available and whom she doesn't necessarily know, which can lead to disappointment, as some tourists have told us afterwards). In the case of Passionate Guides, the advice given prior to booking is relevant and motivated by the quality of the customer's experience. An on-site company knows the local weather conditions, access options and animal movements week by week better than an intermediary. Their advice, if it's aimed at providing the best experience for you, is valuable and decisive. The value for money is therefore unbeatable. It's easy to pay a deposit. No surprises when it comes to organization or safety. No surprises on accommodation reservations (ask for advice on the level of comfort to suit your tastes and budget). The lunch offered is much better and friendlier than the usual lunch boxes. Our guide was able to adapt perfectly to our group, leaving time for photos, observation, silence... he is not intentionally directive with a view to systematically returning earlier or by this or that route... if you know what we mean... In short, it was just a perfect and unforgetable experience thanks to Beatus who deserve the company motto "Passionate guides".
