Excellent organizing, professional staff, lots of different animals to be seen
4/5

We booked a day safari from Dar to Mikumi in advance. Mwajabu was very correspondive via Whatsapp and was professional, very well organized. We were picked up from DAR airport after arrival in early morning. We paid the tour in shillings (there was a working ATM at the airport) and we were driven to Mikumi in a comfortable air-conditioned car by driver Dhula. After a 7 hour ride, we arrived and were greeted by our guide Gilbert and we joined his group for safari. The animals were everywhere, especially giraffes were found all over the national park. The drive was slow so we got close to the animals. But there were no lions, we were told they are rare in Mikumi. We had a lunch at the park restaurant, the food was not very tasty but edable. After that we made another different tour around the park with the driver and then headed back to Dar. On the way we had a buffet dinner at a gas stop restaurant. I should have mentioned about my gluten- intolerance beforehand, it was difficult to find something to eat there. Luckily the waiter offered an omelette for me so didnt leave the place hungry.
Mikumi was quite far away from Dar so we should have booked a 2-day tour (which was recommended by Mwajabu but we were stubborn to book only a day-trip).
This safari would have had 5 stars if the food was right. This time it wasnt for us, but it’s partially our own fault. Going for a safari with Tanzania Mwangaza Safari is recommended anyway, this is a trip to remember! But make it longer than one day :D Asanti sana!

Good, flexible and personal service, and can organise and implement trips in each detail very well.
5/5

It was a very good trip! Great driver and guide (Gilbert), they did an excellent job! It all worked perfectly in terms of timing, logistics, service etc. Mikumi park is perfect for 1-2 days safaris, with very good animal spotting opportunities and great settings (can compare with 7 other safaris, in four different countries).

Excellent service
5/5

Mwajubu was very responsive and helpful with the booking process. Our driver Abedi and our safari guide Gilbert were fantastic. Comfortable and beautiful stay at Bastian Camp. We got to see all the animals except for a cheetah (which are hard to spot) and lion (saw 4 lionesses). My parents wholeheartedly enjoyed the experience.

The only thing was the safari vehicle - while it is great to view animals on a clear and sunny day, as well as stay cool, we got wet due to the rain on our first day of the safari, so it would be great to prepare the vehicle according to weather conditions.

5 star nonetheless as it was part of the experience.

Amazing Service - Incredible Experience
5/5

From the time I inquired about booking a safari in Serengeti, Mwangaza Safari was very responsive and professional. We decided to book a 3days/2nights safari and I could not be happier about our choice to trust Mwangaza Safari with booking our dream Safari. Our package included roundtrip flights between DAR to Serengeti and their driver picked us up at our hotel in the morning to drop us at DAR for our early morning flight. Their staff offered first class services! The transfer was smooth and upon arrival, the staff from Dunia Camp was there waiting for us with an open top Jeep and fresh coffee/biscuit. The Dunia Camp is ran by women and there is no word to describe the level of service and dedication the staff there has to ensure your Safari is amazing. Dunia staff will make you feel part of their family from the moment you arrive! They always smile, the tents are amazing, the food incredible, the view to die for, and the game drive with their very knowledgeable drivers are simply fantastic.

Thank you Mwangaza Safari for being there along the way to answer all our questions and ensure we have the most memorable experience in Serengeti! If you want a worry free Safari, I would not trust anyone else other than Ms. Sultan (CEO of Mwangaza Safari).

Regards,

JF & Fatou

Fantastic Experiance
5/5

Although the Safari itself was fantastic, what made this experiance extraordinary for us was the team at Mwangaza.
We took the 5 days safari combining Selous and Mikumi NP. We were picked up from Dar and 3 hours into the (long) trip to Selous we discovered the car is leaking oil. I communicated with head office and Mwajabu attanded to the issue and after a short assesment with the driver decided to send another car while we continued towards the park. we even managed to see some animals that day and by dusk the replacment car with a new driver arrived.
The new driver, Julius was AMAZING!! Very experianced and proffesional with fluent english and most important great sence of humor. We spent fantastic 4 days together and got to see up close: Giraffs; Elephants; Lions; Hyinas; Hippos; Crocs; Zebras and more.
Mwajabu felt so bad about the incident with the car on the first day, she kept in touch every day to make sure we are enjoing our trip and that everything is OK. She even offered free transportation to and from Zanzibar after our safari ended.
I would strongly recommend Mwangaza to anyone. It is when things goes wrong that you are being measured, and Mwajabu atitude and service turned around a potential disaster into a fantastic memorable trip.

3 day Safari and transportation between airport and lodge
5/5

Our short trip 3 day trip to the Serengeti National Park was arranged by a local travel agent. We flew into Seronera airport where we were met by our 2 excellent drivers. They were very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife as well as being very friendly and courteous. I always felt safe and well taken care of. The open air trucks with the stadium seating were the best and we felt very lucky to be using them versus the enclosed trucks most companies seemed to have. It was easy to take unobstructed pictures, we were able to stay seated and strapped in, and we had a constant breeze which helped keep get rid of any flying bugs. The drivers, especially Gilbert, taught us so much about the wildlife but also the culture of the area. I would use this company again and hope to have the same vehicles and drivers if/when I return and would recommend them to any of my friends traveling to Tanzania.
