Perfection!
We are Glenda and Iván, and we had the most incredible safari experience with Paradise & Wilderness in October. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect.
From the very beginning, Diana was amazing in helping us organize our itinerary. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and dedication made the entire planning process seamless and enjoyable.
The accommodations were fantastic, with exceptional staff who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The food was consistently delicious, offering a variety of options that exceeded our expectations.
A special mention goes to our guide, Salum, who truly made our safari unforgettable. He was highly experienced, friendly, professional, and deeply respectful of nature. Salum’s passion for wildlife and his ability to share fascinating insights added a unique touch to the entire adventure. He made the experience feel more like an exciting journey rather than just a tour. We will always cherish the memories of our time with him.
Without a doubt, Paradise & Wilderness is a highly recommended company for anyone considering a safari in Tanzania. They deliver an exceptional, personalized experience that goes beyond all expectations.

Very satisfied with their whole crew: guides, drivers, lodging staff!
I was a bit disappointed with customer service, though replies were prompt and helpful. But attention to detail was a bit lacking: My friend's food preferences included No Onions for box lunches, I (on the other hand) love onions, grilled or crunchy. Mike had to cancel (health), so I went alone, and all my box lunches were labelled No Onions. Oh well, the wildlife was awesome, and I had onions each dinner. I was also told that each jeep comes equipped with binoculars, but apparently the guide-drivers have to bring their own on the safari tours, doesn't seem right. My guide, whose name is Hamisi didn't have binoculars so I missed out (Note to safari goers: Your camera has to be equipped with telephoto lens!).
Hamisi was a wonderful safari guide and driver (rough and rocky roads often) and I was happy to get to know him.
By the way, all the lodging on this 12 day tour is owned and operated by the safari operator, so there's a consistency I appreciated (being halfway around the world). Tent and other lodging facilities were very well-maintained, with better than expected plumbing and bedding, decent wi-fi, and good variety of food at dinner.
Most apparent and appreciated: well-trained staff, from the managers to the servers and security staff. Friendly and able to deal with requests. I left my lap top charger plugged in at Karatu (the nicest lodging of the whole 2 weeks) and the drivers were able to tag-team the cords back to me 5 days later, what a relief to re-charge my devices!
By the way, the roads are rough, and challenging (I'm an older guy) but taking short flights to avoid long jeep drives is a mistake. I saw the real Tanzania on the roads, the beautiful, the difficult to watch, and the surprising, the Maasai goat herders, the children assembling for songs before school, baboons walking in formation along the road, so much to see, either sitting in the back or standing up with my cameras.
Three nights and days in the Serengeti, with a night-time jeep drive, great experiences each day. Thank you to Hamisi my guide, and to Paradise & Wilderness, the service and amenities were good, and the parade of wildlife was beyond my expectations.
A wonderful time and such a beautiful experience!
We have see such beautiful things, a very good tour guide!
I recommend everybody this company!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience in Tanzania
Our safari tour in Tanzania was truly a magnificent experience that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we set foot in the vast, breathtaking landscapes to the thrilling sightings of wildlife in their natural habitat, it was an adventure we will never forget. We were fortunate to see a wide variety of animals, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and many more. Each day brought new and exciting moments, and we felt like we were living in a nature documentary.
A special thank you goes to our guides, Abdulah and Mukhart, who were absolutely exceptional throughout the entire trip. Their knowledge, professionalism, and passion for the region made our safari even more special. They were incredibly well-informed, providing us with fascinating insights into the local culture and the behaviors of the animals we encountered. Their ability to spot wildlife from afar and explain everything in detail made the experience even more enriching. We could tell they truly cared about giving us the best possible safari experience.
This trip was a dream come true, and we couldn’t have asked for better guides to help make it happen. Highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable wildlife adventure in Tanzania!

We had a great trip, well organized and a very good driver (Alphons).
From the first day on the safari we enjoyed it immensely, we had a good driver with knowledge of all the animals we saw and there were many. The driver helped us with organising the balloon trip and he also did an extra game drive after 16:00 as some animals were close by. The tented camps were perfect and luxurious. We paid in usd. It is a trip I would recommend to anyone, next time we will go longer.

Unforgettable Journey!
I had the most incredible experience booking a safari and beach trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. From start to finish, everything was seamless and exceeded all of my expectations.
The safari in Tanzania was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife, making each game drive a truly unforgettable experience. After the excitement of the safari, we headed to the tropical paradise of Zanzibar for some well-deserved relaxation.
Paradise & Wilderness went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our journey was taken care of. The service and attention to detail made this trip truly memorable.
I cannot recommend Paradise & Wilderness enough for anyone looking to embark on an unforgettable safari and beach adventure in Tanzania and Zanzibar.
