perfect organization
4/5

I texted them for a visit in Gombe NP and immediately got an answer. They organized me a day trip for the next day, connected me to a very nice guide, and even provided me vegetarian food on request. The guide then picked me up early in the morning from Kigoma. We saw a lot of chimpanzees and other monkeys and the guide could give me a lot of information about them. I could then spend the rest of the day on the beautiful beach at Gombe NP.
To sum up, it was an amazing day with perfect organization.
The only minor disadvantage was the prize. Although, they were adapting it to my low travel budget, I found it still a little bit expensive. However, the good thing was, that everything was already included (breakfast, lunch, boat cost, entrance fees, guide and pickup from hotel)

Fantastic tour
5/5

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
5/5

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 🌻
5/5

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
5/5

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!
5/5

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!

Professional, prompt and trustworthy.
5/5

Booked direct as i was recommended by a friend. A 5 day, 4 night, transfer from Zanzibar safari.

Being a solo female traveller I felt very safe from start to finish. All my questions and concerns for answered promptly and everything was made clear before and during my trip.

As i went during low season, i wasn’t just dealing with one guide, which wasn’t a problem for me as every guide was professional and reassured me, however maybe if you were travelling with children you’d prefer just one as this wasn’t made clear before the trip.

From the taxi picking me up from my hotel in zanzibar, being greeted in Arusha, everything was smooth.

The guides themselves were very professional and the chef was amazing! He made everything vegan for me so i didn’t miss out. Big thanks to James, Barak, Dennis and Ibrahim!

The only minor hiccup i had was with my flight back, but they were on hand to help and sorted the problem within 10 minutes. Always checking in via whatsapp making sure i was okay!

Also, remember it’s a lot more laid back here, and sometimes you have to go with the flow and embrace ‘hakuna matata’. My itinerary didn’t go in the exact order but i did do everything that was promised, things change last minute, weather, guides, plans etc but it was all under control. Just relax!

Thank you for an amazing time and forever memories!

Day safari trip - couldn't have hoped for more
5/5

We were a family group of 6 and I had booked a day safari before we left. The information provided me beforehand was so helpful and booking easy.
Communication in preparation for the day was perfect and on the day everything was so smooth and easy. Each switch over the person was waiting for us and we didn't need to worry. The small plane in itself was an amazing experience.
Makumi national park is totally brilliant. We saw all the animals and Robinson our guide had so much interesting information about the animals, the birds and the plants.
Overall, I can't recommend this company enough. They made everything easy and we had a day we will never forget
