Terrific Vacation with Hello Tanzania ! :)
I visited Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, for work last summer (June 2013) and was looking to do some tourism over the weekends. As a young woman travelling alone, safety and reasonable prices were my two main concerns. I ended up contacting "Hello Tanzania" and did not regret it at all!
The trips were a two-day safari to Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara and a a one-day tour to Zanzibar (StoneTown, Nungwi Beach, Spice Tour). The two trips went incredibly well. Even though I contacted them on a very short notice (a couple of days before), they still managed to organize everything in only a few days and I was able to do even more than what I was expecting.
The travel agent/owner was particularly kind (had a great sense of humor) and was extremely professional! Their driver, and the tour guides were also very kind and helpful.
All that to say that I strongly recommend "Hello Tanzania" and that I would do another trip with them in a heartbeat.
Well organised and flexible
Contacted hello Tanzania on a very short notce for a two day Safari. Organised safari,transport and accomodation very quickly and provided me and my family a very knowledgeable guide. My kids liked it! Will definetily use them again and recommend them for anyone who wants to visit Tanzania.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
