An 11-day journey through Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Highlands, Lake Eyasi, and the Northern Serengeti — designed around comfort, safety, authentic connection, and the wonder of the Great Migration
Howard and Barbara’s safari was created around what mattered most to them: comfort, safety, thoughtful pacing, authentic experiences, and unforgettable wildlife moments. Every part of the journey was carefully arranged so they could simply relax, enjoy, and fully experience Tanzania.
Their journey began with a warm welcome at Kilimanjaro International Airport before travelling to the stunning Mpingo Ridge Lodge in Tarangire National Park. Over two nights, they enjoyed spectacular views across the wilderness, close encounters with Tarangire’s famous elephant herds, and the tranquility that makes this landscape so unique.
From Tarangire, they continued to the lush surroundings of Gibbs Farm, where they spent three relaxing nights immersed in the beauty of the Ngorongoro Highlands. During their stay, they explored the fascinating cultural landscapes around Lake Eyasi, meeting local communities and gaining insight into traditions that have endured for generations, before returning each evening to the comfort and elegance of the farm.
The next chapter of their adventure took them into the heart of one of nature’s greatest spectacles. Flying from Lake Manyara Airstrip to Kogatende in the northern Serengeti, they spent four unforgettable nights at Siringit Serengeti Camp, perfectly positioned for the Great Migration. Vast herds crossing the plains, dramatic wildlife encounters, breathtaking landscapes, and the ever-changing rhythm of the Serengeti created memories that will last a lifetime.

Wonderful.
"Our guide Godson Lazier is a fabulous and the reason we return to Tanzania.”
Throughout the journey, Howard and Barbara repeatedly praised the seamless organization and clear structure of the safari. Every transfer, flight, accommodation, and activity was carefully coordinated, allowing them to relax with complete confidence. The sense of safety, comfort, and attention to detail became one of the defining aspects of their experience.
Yet among all the remarkable wildlife encounters and luxurious lodges, one of the most memorable moments came during their final evening at Alama Homestay. What began as a farewell celebration quickly became one of the highlights of the entire journey. Sharing stories from their safari over authentic Tanzanian cuisine, they were introduced to a local Nile Perch dish that they described as the finest fish they had ever tasted. They enjoyed it so much at lunch that they requested exactly the same meal again for dinner that evening, a compliment we still cherish.
Their journey perfectly reflects what we believe at Alama: true luxury is not only found in exceptional accommodations or exclusive locations, but also in feeling cared for, understood, and genuinely connected to the people and places encountered along the way.
Carefully selected lodges, beautiful locations, and a smooth travel flow allowed Howard and Barbara to enjoy Tanzania with comfort, elegance, and peace of mind.
From airport welcome to internal flights, transfers, accommodations, and daily activities, every detail was thoughtfully coordinated.
Their time in the Northern Serengeti brought them close to one of nature’s greatest spectacles, with vast herds, and dramatic landscapes all unforgettable.
Their final evening at Alama Homestay became one of the most memorable moments of the journey, filled with stories, warmth, and Tanzanian cuisine.





A journey shaped by comfort, trust, wildlife, culture, and heartfelt hospitality.
Every journey we share leaves behind its own memories.
Here are a few words from guests who experienced Tanzania with Alama through wildlife, culture, connection, and moments that stayed with them.

My family came to visit Tanzania and we were recommended Alama by a friend and i simple cannot recommend high enough! The whole experience was simple unforgettable from the moment we arrived at Alama Homestay. There was such a genuine warmth in the welcome, and it immediately felt like we were being invited into something real, not just passing through as tourists. The market visit and cooking experience with the family was one of the most special parts of the trip. It was personal, relaxed and full of connection. It gave us a deeper appreciation for the people, food and everyday life behind the places we were visiting. The safari itself was incredible. We saw lions, elephants and other of the big 5 up close, but what made it even more meaningful was the way our guide, Godson, approached every sighting. He was patient, respectful and deeply knowledgeable. He explained animal behaviour and the natural environment in a way that helped us understand what we were seeing, not just look at it. Nothing felt rushed or forced. The lodges and camps were comfortable and full of atmosphere, and all the small details made a big difference — cold drinks in the car, flexibility when plans shifted, and the smooth organisation throughout the journey. It was the kind of trip that stays with you. Beautiful, grounding, exciting and deeply moving. We left feeling grateful, connected and completely in awe of Tanzania.Posted on Google Deb Davis24 May 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everything about Alama Homestay and Safaris is excellent. Godson is passionate about sharing his (seemingly limitless) knowledge of Africa’s wildlife and his love for Tanzania and its culture. I can’t say enough about our trip. It was truly magical, and a trip of a lifetime.Posted on Google jonas estomih2 May 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

It never felt rushed or overwhelming, just perfectly designed to let us fully absorb every moment and create lifelong memories to cherish.

Godson is the #1 guide. The Alama experience and adventure is unforgettable and not to be missed!Posted on Google Maxime Gasteen30 March 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot say enough good things about our time with Alama. Godson, the owner, is an incredible guide, so knowledgeable and knows just where to find the best animals. He is one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. We were laughing nonstop. The market tour and cooking lesson at his home with his wonderful family was the icing on the cake. This was an unforgettable experience for my family - I’d give it six stars if I could.Posted on Google D L27 March 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Godson was an absolutely fantastic guide on our safari. His deep knowledge of the wildlife, flora and fauna and the country were awesome. He really went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience and always seemed to know where the wildlife would be, often predicting where they would move to and then taking us to areas where we were often alone to enjoy the animals. His knowledge and enthusiasm really were fantastic. He also provided humour and fun, which really made us laugh. Cannot recommend him enough!Posted on Google Becky Maddux24 March 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Traveling with Godson from Alama is a treat. He is so knowledgeable about the animals and their habits. This was the trip of a lifetime!Posted on Google luzie Licht13 March 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Unvergessliche Safari in Tansania – mit unserem Guide Godson Unsere Safari durch Tansania war eines der beeindruckendsten Naturerlebnisse unseres Lebens. Unsere Route führte uns durch den Tarangire Nationalpark, den Ngorongoro-Krater sowie durch die zentrale und nördliche Serengeti. Jeden Tag waren wir vom Sonnenaufgang bis zum Sonnenuntergang unterwegs – und dank Godson konnten wir eine unglaubliche Vielfalt an Tieren erleben. Wir haben tatsächlich alle Tiere gesehen, von denen man bei einer Safari träumt. Dazu gehörten unter anderem Geparden, Leoparden, Löwen, Elefanten und viele weitere Tiere der Big Five, außerdem große Herden von Gnus und Zebras, Hyänen, Giraffen, Flusspferde, Krokodile, Warzenschweine, Impalas und Gazellen. Auch die Vogelwelt war beeindruckend: Strauße, Flamingos und Adler konnten wir aus nächster Nähe beobachten. Ein absolutes Highlight war für uns die Great Migration. Wir waren im September mitten im Geschehen, und es war ein überwältigender Anblick: Millionen von Gnus und Zebras ziehen durch die Serengeti. Dank Godson hatten wir dabei oft die besten Plätze, um dieses unglaubliche Naturschauspiel zu beobachten. Diese Momente waren für uns ein Riesen- und unvergessliches Erlebnis. Was uns besonders fasziniert hat, war Godsons außergewöhnliches Können. Godson hat Safari studiert, und das merkt man sofort. Während er das Fahrzeug sicher durch die Landschaft steuerte, konnte er gleichzeitig die Spuren der Tiere lesen, kleinste Bewegungen in der Ferne erkennen und uns mit fundierten Kenntnissen über alle Tiere vertraut machen. Oft entdeckte er Tiere in weiter Entfernung, während wir noch etwas ratlos in der Gegend herumgeschaut haben – das war wirklich beeindruckend. Seine Fähigkeit, die Natur zu lesen, war faszinierend. Er konnte sogar die Laute vieler Tiere nachmachen, was die Beobachtungen noch intensiver machte. Dank seiner Erfahrung sind wir den Tieren sehr nahe gekommen, ohne sie zu stören. Diese Begegnungen waren für uns jedes Mal atemberaubend. Doch Godson war für uns nicht nur der beste Guide, sondern im Laufe der Reise auch zu einem guten Freund geworden. Er ist freundlich, herzlich und voller Leidenschaft für das, was er tut. Man merkt sofort, dass er seinen Beruf nicht einfach nur ausübt – es ist seine Berufung, ein Guide zu sein. Dass Godson sogar als „Guide des Jahres“ ausgezeichnet wurde, sagt eigentlich schon alles. Godson – wir kommen wieder!
