Our guide, Said, the best
The guide, Said, was really the one who made this experience perfect, we felt very safe and cared for by him, he is also a great explorer of the parks, he has an incredible intuition to find animals and he never gets tired. As for the accommodations and the food, sometimes very good and other times not so much, but I understand that is normal.

An amazing safari experience
This safari was a memorable experience. We had the chance to live in the middle of nowhere in a traditional camp, surrounded by forest, pretty close to the river and with a bunch of babbons in the trees around us. The food in the camp was decent, nothing fancy but good. There was even a traditional swimming pool which was unexpected so we took full advantage of it.
Said is the best safari guide you could get. Very friendly, he speaks very good english and it's obvious that he really loves what he does. He is very knowledgeable about the plants, the animals etc. He took us with the safari jeep literally everywhere, in places that we didn't even imagine we can go. We were able to see: lions, zebras, giraffes, warthogs, elephants, a lot of monkeys and birds (this was the 2nd day of the safari). 1st day was on the river and we were able to see the crocodiles and a lot of hippos.
It was an amazing experience!

Best Safari experience ever
People working at Usambara Expeditions know what they do and how to do their work in the best way.
From the first e-mail to get in touch with them and along all the communications they were clear, available and fast in answering.
For our budget, they came up with many options which were all of the them the most convenient solutions when compared to other companies.
The service and the accommodation provided were exactly what we have been asking and the Safari tour itself, with an incredible skilled guide, was an unforgettable experience.
I will contact them again for my next Safari.

Unforgettable 3 days Selous Safari
We booked the 3 nights Selous Safari with boat, game drive and walking safari. Pick up and drop off from/to hotel quite outside Dar es Salaam, was not a problem. Safari itself was an amazing experience and driver Super Mike was excellent. The camp we stayed was well-located next to the park. The lodges were simple but enough, having 3 hours electricity every night to charge, etc. Special thanks to the amazing cook Bruno, who took my food intollerances extremelly seriously. It was also very nice to have a chat with him and his food was absolutelly delicious.
We weren't able to see the big five, but saw lots of animals including elephants, lions, hipos, impalas, giraffs, zebars, monkeys, buffalos and many more. Over all not cheap but good value for money.

Fantastic Mikumi trip
We spent 3 unforgettable days. Everything about our trip to Mikumi was much better than I expected. First of all our guide Younus who has accompanied us was excellent. Tan swiss lodge which we stayed 2 nights was very comfartable and nice. Also Usambra expeditions helped me to buy the ferry tickets to Zanzibar, which was really a difficult thing for me .

Fantastic experience
We spent 3 unforgettable days discovering the uncontaminated and wild nature of the Selous Game Reserve .. an unique experience and organized very well by the Usambara Expedition that entrusted our guardian angel Mike who has accompanied us throughout the experience! I advise you to ask him because he is a kind and trustworthy person! Even in a few days we managed to establish a very good relationship so much that we moved to the greetings! Even ended the safari helped us at Dar es Salaam for some things and solved every problem. Last thing: the day of our wedding anniversary accompanied us to the nearby village and offered us to drink to celebrate! A wonderful experience! Great job Mike!

wonderful experience
I booked a 5 day safari(mid-range accommodation) to selous and mikumi for myself and my 18year old son. we deliberately opted for the -tiring-version of driving there and back instead of flying because we wanted to see as much of the country as possible.we had the most awesome time, especially thanks to our wonderful driver/guide michael who took such good care, was an excellent and careful driver and tried to listen to what we really wanted-see as many animals as possible but be safe.we succeeded and saw elephants, lions, buffaloes , a leopard, giraffes and zebras, antilopes and impalas, hippos , hyenas , wild dogs, warthogs, wildebeasts and various birds.I can really recommend usambara expeditions.asante sana.
