Saw many animals in the wild with great guide and driver
I took an overnight Mikumi Safari tour on Saturday and Sunday. I initially signed up for this tour alone because it said it was a group tour, but when I found out there were no other guests, I invited two other people to join me.
The transportation in and from Mikumi to Camp Bastian was a used Nissan Safari. It had been modified to have three tiers of chairs and the doors had been removed so we could see the animals with a large field of view. In Japan, safari vehicles are often enclosed in cages, but the safari here is not an artificial gathering of animals, so you don't get too close to them. We drove slowly, looking for animals as if we were hunting, and when we found an animal or bird, our guide gave us a detailed explanation in English. Our guide was LADISLAUS, who studied zoology in Dar es Salaam and received training in national parks. He is a young man with two years of mikumi experience, but he reads illustrated books and studies diligently on a daily basis, and he was very interested in the animals in Japan.
Although there was a miscommunication that the number of rooms at Camp Sebastian did not match the number we had reserved, the lodging was cleaner and more stylish than we had expected. It gets cold at night and the windows don't close, so if you are cold, you may want to bring a blanket. There are towels and a pool, but no soap.
On the second day, we were transferred to Dar es Salaam. Same Alphard as on the way there? (a larger, better cushioned car) and departed at 7:00 am. On the road through the mikumi, we saw giraffes, zebras, and monkeys. We returned to Dar es Salaam before 3 pm. We had a restroom break at a clean place on the road and a store. Our driver, Ezekiel, was friendly and used to be a driver for a Japanese tour company. He has been a driver for a long time, so you can rest assured.
Lunch and dinner on the first day and breakfast on the second day were buffet style, and lunch on the second day was a camp box lunch.
The car ride was long, but it was a comfortable drive and we saw a lot of animals, so we were satisfied. Thank you very much.

Really helpful, gave lots of information. Quick to reply and very reliable
We had a brilliant time on safari. I would totally recommend using going green safaris. We had a lovely balance of a private tour feeling as though you’re the only people on yhe safari while seeing all the wildlife we wanted!

Bucket list item complete!
Highly recommend!
We visited Mikumi National Park for a 3 day trip from Dar es Salaam. The park has 4 of the big 5 and we saw all 4. Our guide worked so hard to find the animals.
We also went to visit the Masai village, which we were a little undecided about at first because we didn’t was to be annoying tourists, but the Masai were very welcoming and it was a lovely experience.
The hotel was beautiful, the staff were adorable, and the food was delicious!
One thing I will say is the taxi to Mikumi from Dar es Salaam was 8 hour each way, which was way more than we expected and took time away from our holiday. We did here there might be a train option, but we didn’t look into it.

If you want to live a reliable experience of Safari we advise you this Company. The driver Is quiet but really informed about Animals and gives you lots of curiusities during the game drive.
The location for the night Is really comfortable and beautiful also considering the price.

Brilliant safari
Had a fantastic experience from start to finish with Going Green Safari. The personalised package reflecting what we wanted to do was spot on. Great advice on which parks to go to and where to stay. Loved the combination of game drives, boat safari, walking safari and hiking was just right for us. We wanted to avoid the mass tourist route and still see Tanzania’s wildlife and stunning nature. Massive thanks to Alfonso our driver and Paschal our guide who looked after us so well, super knowledgeable and most of all lovely people to spend our adventure with. I would have no reservations in recommending this company to anyone- good value, good service, good communication and good fun. Thankyou - a trip to remember!

Worth the drive!
Booked this tour with 3 other friends. Driver was amazing. We made stops on the way to use the restroom and eat. Hotel was really nice. Food was delicious at hotel too. The safiar tour guide was awesome. He understood the wildlife and nature and I referred two other friends to book with them.

Great safari experience for budget-friendly price
Our programme was 4 days option: visiting Masai village, then gaming in Mukimi NP and finally hiking in Udzungwa Mountains.
Participating in safari Going Green was a pure pleasure. Our host, Lenard, was very friendly and always helpful. He contacted us immediately after making a reservation and provided with details concerning programme.
The safari itself was amazing: seeing animals in their natural habitat is experience incomparable with anything else. And views during trekking in Udzungwa were absolutely breathtaking.
Do nor hesitate! If you wish to have good safari experience, book with GG.

Very friendly and all was as agreed.
It was great experiance, but too short. We took the arrangament for just one 1 night. If you're driving from Dar Es Saalam, it's very long, bumpy, and full of traffic 6 hours drive.. So defenetly I recomend to stay longer on safari if you can.
