Exceptional
5/5

This was the second time I travelled with Felix of Green Planet Safaris. As always the care taken in developing a tailored program was excellent and once there every detail of the journey was attended to with great care. Accommodation was of an excellent standard and the wildlife viewings superb. Felix is not only superbly skilled at finding the sightings, but at sharing information about each animal or bird sighted and always has an eye for the best way to position the vehicle to ensure excellent photo opportunities, which is very important to me as a photographer. Whether we had driven through mud or not, the vehicle was always impeccably clean for each drive. The two week trip was an absolute delight, superb value for money and I would not hesitate to book with Green Planet Safaris again. I highly recommend this company if you are looking for the safari experience of a lifetime.

5/5

I had the pleasure of a 24-day safari in northern Tanzania led by Felix and Davis of Green Planet Safaris in July 2023. It was awesome!

Felix and Davis have excellent knowledge of the animals, and how to find them. They nearly always made the first sighting, to which they would draw our attention. They would name the animal and tell us the most significant things about its life, habitat, and unique features. I was usually busy at that stage trying to get a good picture and they were very patient with me as I asked them to repeat the name and spelling of the animal so I could record it in my field notes.

They also exhibit a remarkable ability to understand the animals’ behaviour, read the location and the light, and position the vehicle for photography. This includes finding a position among any other vehicles without blocking their view, being conscious of obstructions to our view, knowing where the animal was likely to go, and looking where the light is coming from to get the best possible picture. They visualise the scene as a photographer would. I am pretty sure this is not common among guides.

They were also constantly talking to each other over the two-way radio and stopping to chat briefly with other guides coming the opposite direction. Conversations being about what others have seen, and where, to ensure we had the best possible sightings.

It's hard to imagine how any guides might do a better job.

They worked very hard to make our safari such a positive and memorable experience. For example, we had been unaware that we had two flat tyres on arrival into the camp in Tarangire. Both tyres were replaced and dispatched to Arusha for repair without our knowing anything about it at the time. Felix and Davis were still ready for us promptly at 6 am the following morning with the vehicle freshly cleaned and windows removed.

Exceptional service!

I don’t normally write reviews, but Green Planet did such a great job for us, I’m delighted to provide these comments. I cannot recommend Green Planet safaris highly enough.

5/5

My husband and I have travelled with Green Planet Safaris several times both as hosts of a group and as a couple. Each trip has been wonderful. Felix and his staff are great at organising an outstanding trip handling bookings and payments seamlessly. They are also really good at dealing with any problems that may arise from events outside their control such as delayed flights and lost luggage. We have travelled with Green Planet Safaris to Kogatende (for the crossing of the Mara River), to northern, southern, eastern and western Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Arusha and Ruaha. Even though Ruaha is remote, the trip planning was exemplary and Felix was superb at dealing with the unexpected little things that are an inevitable part of travel to remote areas. We have been to Tanzania in the rainy season and in the dry. When it's wet getting bogged is almost inevitable, but not a problem as Felix and his drivers carry appropriate equipment and know how to use it to get underway again safely. Felix and the Green Planet Safari drivers are safe on the roads, knowledgeable about routes and knowledgeable about their vehicles which are well-maintained. They understand how to navigate the administrative systems of Tanzania's beautiful parks to give visitors the best experience.

Most important for the visitor, Felix and the Green Planet Safari drivers understand wildlife and know how to find animals. They know the names and habits of the animals, birds and plants in the Tanzanian bush. They also understand photographers and intuitively know how to position their vehicles to give visitors the best light and the best view while being respectful of other vehicles. Non-photographers enjoy this too. On several occasions, Felix and Davis have located cheetah and that enabled us to photograph cheetah hunts. We have been fortunate to see spectacular crossings at the Mara river and have sat with lion prides around recent kills. They have found us all the common animals that visitors hope to see as well as other, more elusive creatures such as serval, caracal and leopard.

I heartily recommend Tanzania and Green Planet Safaris for your next wildlife safari.

I had fun

Took a ride with John, it was generally adventurous and I felt safe.

Best guiding and professional safari operator in Tanzania.
5/5

I did my first safari with Felix James Mdee, the owner of Green Planet Safaris, in March 2008. Since then we have done many safaris together. He is very professional and skilled guide with a deep knowledge on wildlife and parks. If you are looking for a serious and reliable safari company to get an unique safari experience, Green Planet Safaris is the one you need. I did two Safaris in 2023 with this company. The last was in November and it was not guided by Felix but by John Mussa who demonstrated me he is also a very skilled guide.
