Posted on Austin DVerified Awesome Experience Lewis did a great job organizing the safari, and it was outstanding. We saw so many lions, elephants, giraffes, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, hyena, and even a leopard in the Serengeti. The guides were great, the delicious food was prepared for us, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. Thank you Lewis! 10/10Posted on Alejandra MVerified The best safari I had the pleasure to do with my mum an amazing safari in July 2025, I totally recommend it, everything was perfect, we felt safe and welcomed. Lewis led us through the process, very nice. The safari guide was also great. If you have the opportunity to do this, do it, it’s life-changing 🥰Posted on MattyBurt101Verified A Great way of booking trips in Arusha Lewis was very knowledgeable and accommodating with our trips, would definitely recommend him to anyone who is visiting Arusha for the first time or is looking to book a safari, climbing Kilimanjaro or just a trip into townPosted on Jay BVerified Great experience We had a great experience booking through Lewis. We booked a 4 day safari and we had an absolutely amazing time. We had a great safari guide Bacari and chef Emanwe. We were very lucky and got to see all the animals you ever want to see. Would highly recommend this it was a great opportunity.Posted on Chloe PVerified Helpful and Accommodating Wonderful stay with Lewis at Meru Hostel, and booking the safari, we were made at home, taken for dinner, drinks and any extra trips or advice we required.Posted on arganierVerified With Glitzy Safari, and specially with Lewis we had such a great experience. It’s local tour operator, so important. I discovered Lewis, who is one of the tour operators, when I booked for a stay at Meru Hostel in Arusha. One of my dreams was seeing Ngorongoro. So I asked what can U offer me for Ngorongoro and Tarangire ? And immediately I’ve a proposal. and it was a really good proposal, so I answered right away. I really don’t regret it. We spent with my friend two wonderful days. First we went to Tarangire NP, then we spent the night not far from Ngorongoro, in a lodge, Fig Tree Lodge and Campsite, where the food and room were very good. The 2nd day, direction Ngorongoro. U can’t imagine how I was happy being in this gorgeous caldera. An experience I will never forget all my life. Our guide was so kind with us, he made everything for us and participated to this beautiful moment. We spent maybe 4 hours in the caldera. Lewis we also booked a excursion in a Chagga village. This tribe is living around Kilimanjaro. Their agriculture is based on ancestral organic fertilization where they mixed Bananas trees, Coffee plants and small other small plant ( sorry I don’t remember the name). With the local guide, we first go to Materuni waterfalls, on the foot of Kilimanjaro. Nice walk on a little path, between farms. Then we went back to our family’s guide, where we learned how make our coffee. For myself, who like so much coffee, it was so great. As U can read, we had such a nice experience with Glitzy Safari. Thank U so much Lewis.Posted on Gianni CileVerified Viaggio in Tanzania (Safari, cascate Materuni & villaggio Masai) Lewis è un ragazzo straordinario si è preso cura di me come un fratello er ha organizzato tutto il mio viaggio in Tanzania compreso di Safari, visita alla cascata Materuni e villaggio masai, se ho trascorso un magnifico viaggio è stato anche grazie a lui !!
