"Our Favourite!"
The friendliness of all the staff here is very welcoming, the tents are huge, well equipped and with great views and the food is excellent both in quality and variety. Special thanks go to the camp manager's Sam and Chris, particularly for those small touches personalised to us for our honeymoon and also to our guide Theo who was extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour.
Visiting at the beginning of July the camp wasn't quite full and we had the benefit of private safari drives every time which was a nice touch as the managers could have easily chosen to pair up couples into one vehicle." See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania
"Jongomero Camp review"
Chris and Sam are AWESOME managers with a wealth of knowledge of every aspect of the area. Our guide, Leonard, made sure we saw EVERY animal possible and most on every game drive we saw something new each time! It was breathtaking and words cannot describe how perfect every aspect was covered. From seeing a family of lions, to the leopard in the Baubab tree, and every other possible creature, it was perfectly amazing!
The camp was 5 star plus in amenities with the staff on standby for our EVERY need, at every moment. Every meal the food was amazing! The setting for every dinner was in a different location which was phenomenal!
Thank you to Expert Africa for making the process for this once in a lifetime trip for my family done with ease and worry free!" See all these reviews: 3n in Tanzania

"Amazing location"
Outstanding guide, Frank, who made every effort to interact with us and respond accordingly.
Brian was an excellent host very aware of the characteristics and demands of his guests.
He also clearly had a very good knowledge of the wildlife, not simply the 'big' mammals." See all these reviews: 7n in Tanzania
