Authentic Safari with "Hello Tanzania"
We were 4 people who should spent some weeks in Dar es Salaam, and therefor we wanted to go for a safari. We contacted Hello Tanzania and they arranged a 3days safari for us in Mikumi and Udsungwa National Park. We got picked at our hotel in safari early in the morning on the first day. The driver was a great guy, who informed us with interesting things all the way on th long ride to Mikumi. He was very calm and nice talking with and we were very satisfied with him. When we came to Mikumi, we had a game drive with both our driver and another guide, and we had a lot of fun and saw a lot of animals like lions, giraffes, buffalos etc. During our safari we stayed at Camp Bastian, which was a great spot in the middle of the savannah. We got great food, and the cottages and beds were very lovely and real authentic. The second day we took to Udsungwa and hiked to see the gourgous waterfalls, a great experience. The last day we had another game drive in Mikumi before we started our drive back to Dar es Salaam. It was a great and fun safari, where we really got served in all ways, and we did not need anything at all. The driver and guides were so good and we enjoyed the safari a lot. Hello Tanzania were very professional and reliable all the way through the safari. Both in part of the arrangement of the safari, during the safari and even afterwards. They were taking care of us all the time, and it is with our deeply respect and satisfaction we truly recommend Hello Tanzania to all who wants a marvelous and authentic safari.

Great customer service from Hello Tanzania in Dar es Salaam
I had to travel back from Zanzibar and board a flight to JHB from DAR. Hello Tanzania arranged the charter flight for us, picked us up at the airport and took us to the correct terminal to board the flight to JHB. The trip was comfortable and the cost was manageable. The service was excellent. Thank you so much for making this last leg of our trip a stress-free one, Mrs Mojavu.

Amazing experience with incredible customer service. Safe, clean, and a lot of fun!!!
I must say i was a little hesitant of the whole situation when first looking to book but I cannot speaker higher of the people at Hello Tanzania. My wife and I booked a 2 day tour in Selous with them for the beginning part of our honeymoon and our only regret is that we did not book and even longer stay. The communication and customer service leading up to and throughout the visit was absolutely incredible. Everywhere we went there was a driver waiting for us to safely get to and from airport/ferry and they were very friendly and knowledgeable to the point of each drive being a mini tour in itself. The areas outside of the airports and ferry terminals are extremely hectic so knowing the transportation was already set up was huge for peace of mind. The Lake Manze camp they set us up at was stunning and the food was outstanding. The guide drivers went above and beyond to make our short time memorable and comfortable with anything and everything we needed and we were able to see just about every animal the game reserve has to offer. I also highly recommend doing a breakfast or lunch out in the "bush" as it was truly a unique experience. We will absolutely be returning at some point for an anniversary trip and will without doubt be using Hello Tanzania. Amazing company, amazing people, amazing experience!!

Hello Tanzania was very helpful and punctual in all their arrangements.
All people we met from Hello Tanzania were professional and easy to deal with. Communications, service etc were meeting the expectations and without aggressive selling as seen earlier in similar situations.

Very satisfied
I used Hello Tanzania to organise a car from Dar Es Salaam to Udzungwa national park. It was very straightforward to book and pay, Mwajabu was in email and phone contact at all times. We had to make last minute changes due to a flight being delayed, and it was not a problem at all. Our driver was excellent, he drove very safely and was kind and considerate. Would definitely use Hello Tanzania again.
Wonderful service!
We were very pleased by the service that Mwajabu Sultan of Hello Tanzania provided. She took all the work out of our hands and everything went as planned. Pick ups were arranged in advance and were all on time. The suggested hotels were wonderful as well. Mwajabu provides all the information you need and is a good and warm communicator.
The service was very prompt and friendly. I had very little time to plan and they were helpful.
Very good communications, and a personal meeting, which was very nice and important. The tour was good, the airport transfer was there when I arrived, and transportation was good. The guide was genuine, sincere, and very knowledgable. The driver was also friendly and helpful. I also really enjoyed the Mnarani Resort, and all the staff. They were friendly and the service was exceptional. The chef was exceptional also, and the seafood was perfectly prepared. I had one issue with one of the rooms at the second hotel in Stone Town, and this was quickly addressed.

Efficient, Comprehensive, Honest. Excellent follow through
Mawajabu was a superb tour agent. She was completely on-top of details and our personal requests. She was amazingly responsive with timely answers to our questions in planning the trip. She followed through on every email between us (nearly 70 over a few days) in planning the details of the trip and showed a great amount of flexibility in adapting to our evolving requests as we understood the varying details of safari. I would strongly recommend anyone to work with her.
Our 4 night/5 day safari and 1 night/2 day stay in Zanzibar was arranged by Mawajabu. She found a way to get us to all four parks in the north that we wanted to visit. We were met in Arusha as she planned by a guide and on each transition (airports, hotels) were met immediately by someone with whom she works. It was flawless. She even made sure we had a hotel room nearby the Dar airport for several hours on our layover between Zanzibar-Dar and the trip back to the USA. We did not need to call her at all during the trip to deal with any problems.
A few suggestions for travelers:
-Know where you want to go. This should be determined by your price range (Mawajabu did a really good job of staying within our target price) and the time of year.
-There is a big difference in price between many of the lodges (all were above-average) and the tented camp (an absolute luxury you must experience if possible. We stayed one night at Mapito which was like heaven on earth in every respect). Do your own due diligence on these places so you tailor the place to your desires and remember that the time of year you travel impacts to some extent what you are likely to see on safari because of migration patterns and weather.
-Ask about your guide. We had a wonderful guide (Gifte) who took very good care of us and was absolutely reliable. The ability to speak your language well will impact how much talk you receive about things.
Based on this one experience I would definitely recommend Hello Tanzania and Mawajabu when planning your visit to Tanzania. Be sure to combine their expertise with your own research so that they can help tailor the adventure to meet your desires as there are many ways to arrange this trip.

Amazing experience, kept having to pinch ourselves
What an amazing experience. We went to two separate safaris with Hello Tanzania, Saadin and north Tanzania as well as had a driver organiser for us while staying in Zanzibar. We only got organised once we arrived in Tanzania and nothing was ever too much trouble. The personal attention we received made us feel special, it really was exceptional customer service. We didn't know what to expect and stayed in some amazing places, that exceeded our expectations. We especially loved 'Tent with a View' and 'Mapito Tented Camp' for location, style, size (we like small), quality of food and accommodation plus professional friendly staff. Totally 5 star!! We wished we stayed longer in both places!!! Our safaris were amazing because of the accommodation but also the experience of seeing so many animals so close - we really had to pinch ourselves that we were really there. What a memorable experience. Thank you Mwajabu for everything.
