amazing
I went to Tanzania for 2 weeks with my girlfriend. I booked all with Hello Tanzania and was really amazing. We went to Selous to make a safari, where we could see all the animals unless the chita and Rhino. After that we went to Zanzibar, where Hello Tanzania booke for us the boat tickets and all the things that we needed while we were there. GosListen was our chofer durenig 5 days. Is a very kind guy, who show us all the autentic thing form Tanzania, also we spent with him a great times drinking or taking a dinner. I recommend a lot this company.

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.

awesome safari at Mikumi NP with Hello Tanzania
We had a great safari with our driver/guide Beni, who made our trip unforgettable. Mwajabu, the tour operator, helped us a lot with preparing the trip and she answered all our questions. Unfortunately the drinks during dinner at the lodge were not included, what we didn't know before.
All in all the safari trip was really great and we would recommend Hello Tanzania to everyone.

Fantastic tour
I organized this safari just before arriving in Tanzania, all via WhatsApp. Mohamed accompanied us first to visit Dar es Salaam and then to Mikumi National Park. The journey by ferry, train and car allowed us to better observe everyday life and the landscapes, everything was very comfortable. Thanks again to Mwajabu Sultan and Mohamed for the organization, I highly recommend Mwangaza Safari.

Great organization for individual tour
I came across Mwangaza Safari while organizing my Tanzania vacation. Due to Mwajabu's friendly, efficient and timely communication on WhatsApp, I trusted her with organizing of all my safari trips in Tanzania. The overall package contained pick-up in Arusha, accomodations, transfer and safari, including hot air balloon safari, guide throughout my stay in the area, as well as flights to Kigoma and visit in Gombe-Stream NP, accommodation in Kigoma and flight to Dar es Salaam. Overall an experience of 9 nights and several great moments. During the planning of the tour I was able to tell preferences and Mwajabu always included those in the tour organization, making the trip a very individual and tailor-made experience. During my stay in Tanzania, she was always in contact with me to make sure that I enjoy my stay and have a great time while visiting the country. When visiting Tanzania again, I will definitely be in contact with Mwangaza Safari again. Great service, great organization, great experience!

A dream came true with wonderful memories 🌻
I booked the safari from Delta hotel Dar es Salam with Mwajabu sultan and Mohamed Mohamed to Mikumi national park. The staff was wonderful and very kind. They did everything right. The travel experience with the new Tanzanian train was interesting and the Safari team was great. They explained everything and showed me the most of the wonder landscape and wild animals. The atmosphere was comfortable and the adventure was fun and exciting. It is a journey to remember! Special thanks to mwajabu sultan
and mohamed Mohamed for their professional abs wonderful organization. It is highly recommended.

More than just a safari
We were impressed with the family run Mwangaza Safari right from our very first dealings with Mwajabu, the kind and no nonsense owner of the company. She was right on every detail and responded to our Whatsapps efficiently no matter what the time of day. We chose a 3 day/2 night safari which was excellent value and effectively gave us an extra day due to the 03.30 pick up! (which is something no other operator appeared to offer). We saw plenty of animals in Mikumi but we actually probably preferred the second day in Udzungwa park where we hiked through a rain forest to an idyllic waterfall. We saw a local Masi tribe on the 3rd day.
Mwajabu's son (Adeibe) was our personal driver for the 3 days and he passed us onto very personable and knowledgeable guides for the 3 days. The accommodation was changed at the last moment but we ended up at the newly opened Tan-Swiss hotel in Mikumi which if anything was probably an upgrade to the advertised Camp Bastian. Adeibe was a careful and considerate driver despite the 6 hours each way from Dar es Salaam.
Mwajabu further impressed after the safari and showed her extensive knowledge of Tanzania and Zambia by arranging transport for us to bridge the gap between Tazara trains, which were not running over the Zambian border at the time of our visit.
Overall I would not hesitate to recommend Mwangaza and in particular its efficient owner Mwajabu.

Great safari to see it all!
Great safari experience. After early Dar pickup and drive to Mikumi, we saw plenty of animals even before entering the park. Driver was experienced to/from the park. Once inside the park, immediately experienced a plethora of wildlife. Much in the am, then more in the afternoon (after a pleasurable lunch).
We'd have to say, a memorable experience. One we would definitely do again!
The best!
