A lifetime experience with a fully professional and reliable operator
5/5

We (myself + 2 children) booked a 3-day safari to Mikumi and Udzungwa N.P.s. Already before our trip to Tanzania even started we were “taken by the hand” by Mwajabu, who responded very promptly to any my queries by email and always professionally explained everything so that we could settle all the details of our safari in advance (the communication during our stay in TNZ via WhattsApp was even faster and more efficient). Travelling with children made me extra concerned about the quality of the booked services but there was absolutely no need to worry – Mwajabu & the her team did ensure the top level – frankly speaking much beyond my expectations. I also cannot say a single word of complaint about our driver Michael and our guide in Mikumi, Bob – they both spoke good English and were very helpful and made their best efforts to ensure that we have great memories from the trip.

On the spot in Mikumi we were lucky enough to see almost every big mamal species that can be found there (except for leopards and hyenas – hope for better luck next time). All of us, not only the kids, were fascinated with the African wildlife.

Mwajabu booked us a lodge at Camp Bastian – we got a huge and comfortable apartment, they have a very nice swimming pool on the spot so we could refresh and cool down after the daytime emotions. Also the food they serve there was delicious.

During the second day of safari, prior to our trip to Udzungwa N.P. we paid a short visit to the Massai boma nearby Mikumi N.P. – contrary to my concerns it turned out to be a real village, not any fake for mzungus

The organization was on top, we had nothing to think about, just enjoy the experience. The organizer, the guide and the driver were great, they anticipate our needs. We feel a real investment from them. we were delighted by this safari, like a dream come true. It was beyond our expectations. Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience.

Mwangaza Safari was always in contact with us to answer all our questions and concerns. We were pleasantly surprised at the lodges they choose for us. They were very nice! Our guide was incredible and very passionate about what he does. We all became friends. I would use this company again and I highly recommend them!

Best decision made for this trip!
5/5

I can’t say enough about Mwangaza Safari! Mwajabu was our guardian angel and specialist for this amazing trip in Tanzania. My husband and I were looking for some help and support booking a safari for our honeymoon. Mwajabu was the first to respond (within 30 minutes). From the day we initiated a quote til the end of the trip, this agency was incredible. Mwajabu coordinated drivers and direct flights for us; we felt like VIPs the whole time! She checks in and makes sure you’re ok, throughout the trip and stays in close contact with the drivers and pilots; so you always feel safe and comfortable. Our flight landed at 3:00am and guess who was waiting for us at the airport; just to welcome us to Tanzania?! The agency is incredible, we would highly recommend it.

They booked us with THE BEST safari company! We were treated like royalty, we had an open Jeep, and the lodge was a dream...not to mention the delicious food! Mwajabu coordinated for a private picnic in the middle of the Serengeti AND she surprised us with an amazing gift when we arrived to the camp. She was with us each step of the way and we couldn’t say Thank you enough!

Look no further! Book with Mwangaza, you will not regret it!

A wonderful Tanzania experience
5/5

Everything about the experience was above expectations.
First I received all the information - tour program, accommodation, daily trip details well in advance and it proved during the trip to be very accurate. The flights were on time and uneventful.
The experience itself is exceptional, 2 days into some of the most beautiful national parks in Tanzania - a trip into the wild. The guide was very good and, despite the rain being quite strong at lake Manyara, helped us spot many animals and some extraordinary wildlife moments. Finding the rhinos was a bit tricky, they like to stay away from the cars, but with a little patience - success.
The accommodations were great, the lodge is set up like a small village with everything you need close by, including wi-fi.

Very reliable and profesional.
5/5

We booked a safari to Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater. The communication was very good, we got all the details we asked for. The accommodation was in a nice quiet lodge with a swimming pool just perfect for late afternoon after a long game drive. The driver/guide was very helpful, he did his best to show us the most interesting places and animals.
In total, it was a lovely experience that I would recommend to anyone.

I couldn't have imagined a better safari experience
5/5

Wow. I have nothing but awesome things to say about my safari. I was traveling to Tanzania as a single female, and was somewhat nervous going in about booking something by myself. I appreciated the safety of going through safaribooking.com, and was immediately contacted by Mwajabu to help me book it. I had a few questions leading up about the logistics, and Deborah was available to me both on email and whatsapp. It felt very organized, and by the time I arrived I had no concerns about being there alone.

The experience itself was more than I could've even imagined. I was greeted by Deb and Abdullah (I think that's how his name is spelled!) the driver at the airport in Dar Es Salaam and we drove to Kinga Lodge. Despite arriving quite late, the Kinga lodge staff had stayed up to greet me and show me just incredible hospitality after a long day of travel. The accommodations and food throughout the trip were likewise fantastic. The next morning I met Michael, who would be our guide in Selous. Because I went late in the season, I actually got to spend the trip with just me, Abdullah, and Michael, which gave us extra freedom to explore and even drive deep into the park to some hot springs. Michael has to be the best guide in the park - he was so kind and so well informed. We saw everything we set out to see, in no small part thanks to their tracking ability. I won't forget watching a baby elephant and mother reunite with the rest of the family, or laughing together at the baboons and the "honeymooning" lions. The trip included 2 days in the main park, a river safari, and a walking safari, and each activity brought new wonders.

I just can't say enough how grateful I am to all the people I encountered that made this trip great. If you have a chance to take a safari, please look no further.
