Magical tour, expertly organised
5/5

Myself and my 2 children did a 3 night / 4 day Safari, organised and provided by Mellivora.
The trip was amazing. We visited Tarangire National Park, spend 2 days in the Serengeti (including a dawn balloon ride on the second day) and finished with a day in the Ngorongoro Crater.
Our guide was polite, courteous and diligent in showing us the best that the reserves had to offer and was very good with my children, making sure that they felt included in everything that we did and the places we visited. He was always on time, from collecting us at the airport when we arrived to being ready to set off each morning during the trip.
The accommodation organised by Fransisca was lovely and she took great care in making sure that this was a magical trip for us.
I would gladly recommend this company.

Well organized and transparent in its communication
4/5

It was very easy to communicate with them. They were always available for any kind of questions and also helped me with things that had nothing to do with the safari.
As I still go to university, the price was really high for me, even if I know that a safari can never be cheap. At least they offer the possibility for a budget safari, but maybe they should think of another way to make it possible especially for young travellers to save some more money.
I did the tour during the rain season, but was lucky enough to pick some sunny days. I would say that the rain season has some advantages too (zebra migration, less tourists e.g.), but obviously it's also kinda risky.
I cannot complain about the tour operator, but I also have no possibility to compare it with others, as it was my first safari and I usually never do that kind of organized trips. So it's difficult for me to rate it.

HAD OUR BEST EXPERIENCE
5/5

We had a 4 days safari and what else could we say our experience was one of the best Mellivora African Travels with the help of Fransisca made our tour unforgettable. She arranged everything for us that when we reached there everything was organized and simple and we had no need to worry about anything. Our driver Jordan gave us everything we needed and took care of us. He was like a family that the last day we didn't want to let him go. Jordan knew alot about animals and he made sure we saw the big five also a lot of other animals, accomodations picked where great,comfortable and cozy I and my wife loved them so much. We 100% recommend Mellivora African Travels to people who want to make there experience memorable and without hesitation they are going to give you the best. When we are back for a trip in Tanzania I will travel with them again.

A memorable experience with my family
5/5

Mellivora African Travels offered us me and my husband a 5 days safari, we really enjoyed the safari and how everything was made easy for us from communication to the booking. Fransisca was fast and easy to get to anytime we emailed and got in contact she would be there to respond. Our guide Efata was amazing he knew about nature and gave us a wonderful experience and we saw a lot of animals. Accommodation offered was amazing and everything about the tour was memorable we loved everything about it. Whenever Fransisca is there to serve you just be sure everything will be fine and hope for the great adventure. I recommend Mellivora African Travels for anyone hoping to get a great experience.

Very Interesting
5/5

We had a 4 day safari fly in fly out me and my family and what more could we say it was more than we expected. We were amazed by the wonderful experience Mellivora African Travels gave us and how they made everything easy for us in spite of having a baby for the trip. Fransisca offered us a couple of options with Price that we wanted and secured accommodations and flights with no trouble. We arrived in Arusha and met our driver who was also our guide Jordan and made us feel secure though it was our first time we felt like home. Our trip was tremendous we saw a lot of animals and lucky us we got to see the big five. Accommodations chosen for us were very comfortable and the staff were amazing. I could not ask for more than a safari with Mellivora African Travels I 100% recommend them and I will surely use them if I travel next time.

Excellent service from start to finish
5/5

From the moment I made my initial enquiry Fransisca was so attentive and responded to all my emails very quickly. The price of the tour was extremely competitive and you can easily change the itinerary subject to budget

We had the pleasure of Dominic being our driver for five days - he was extremely knowledgable of all the Safari regions we visited and always made our comfort and safety a priority

Even though I didn’t know this company before I trip I would 100 percent recommend them to anyone who was planning a Safari to Tanzania

Exceptional African Adventures with Mellivora African Travels: A Journey Beyond Expectations.
5/5

We did a five-day safari with Mellivora African Travels and all I can say is that the tour was delivered out of our expectations. Everything was prepared for us accommodations, transportation and food. Our guide Jordan was one of the best knowledgeable and caring he made our tour unforgettable as we spent most of the time with him. We were able to see the big five, what else could we need from an African safari. Honestly the hospitality that Mellivora and their staff have is unexceptional and pleasing. Fransisca from the office was there to help us from the arrangements to finalization always fast to respond and there to give us other options whenever needed to ensure we get the best. I will recommend Mellivora African Travels to anyone who wants to make their first-time experience in the wildlife of Africa unforgettable because everything was made easy by the team.

He is the best at his job!
5/5

My wife and I booked a safari with Fransisca Evance through Mellivora African Travels for our honeymoon and I’m so glad we did. It was an incredible experience! Our guide Bryson was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the animals we encountered and Tanzanian culture. He ensured that we were able to see as many animals as we could! We added on a hot air balloon tour, which was absolutely incredible, worth every penny. The lodging and the food was also excellent. I would highly recommend booking with Mellivora African Travels!
