Wonderful experience with Msafiri Travels to Mikumi National park in Tanzania for 2-3 days.
I was picked up by the driver, day 1 towards the evening, near the hotel. The day after we went on a game drive together with the driver/guide. And lastly we went on a second game drive on the 3rd day, but only for a half day this time. The national park was amazing, the driver/guide was very professional and experienced. The hotel was good over all. The food they served was really nice. And the the whole experience was better than I expected. I will surely recomend Msafiri travels and Mikumi National park to friends and other travelers in the future.

Peaceful romantic trip
Our travels with Msafiri Travels was great. Our guide, Samuel, was super and the Lodge, Butembo, was ours entirely since we were the only guests ! I recommend this agency since it is 1. local, 2. their customer service is simply amazing. Leina will make sure everything is in order and up to your expectations. Strongly suggested !

great adventures and experiences
Very professional organization without glitches, and well experienced and tiredless guide/driver Harun.
The Sopa lodges in Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater were very comfortable, clean, safe and with great views! They even provided us with water bottles on the crater rim.
Harun was very attentive to our needs and wishes, respecting the park rules to protect the environment and the animals. We had an unexpected experience when a big heard of angry buffaloes confronted a pack of around 18 lions ( half of them inexperienced having just killed 2 little buffaloes from the big herd). Very rare to witness!!
And as it was the mating time for birds, we saw the ostrich courting and mating dance and wing displays.

Great days in wonderful parks
Leina our tour operator was professional, and the safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro went without glitches.
Harun, our well experienced and tiredless guide/driver was very attentive to our wishes.
The Sopa lodges in both parks were very comfortable, clean and with great views! The meals were great at the lodges, though the lunch boxes could be improved and more varied. We even were surprised to find water bottles on the crater lodge as the evenings were much cooler on the rim..
Harun was very, respective of the park rules to protect the environment and the animals.
We were extremely lucky to sight a confrontation between a big herd of angry buffaloes confronting a pack of around 18 lions ( half of them inexperienced having just made the mistake to kill 2 little buffaloes from the big herd). Very rare to witness indeed!!
And as it was the mating time for birds, we saw the ostriches' dances to court and mate with artistic wing displays.
Wonderful memories to take back home.

Good service and nice guides
I would recommend others to book their journey through Msafiri Travels.
Very sweet employees, everything was taking care of and we were very well informed regarding our hole stay.
We had 3 weeks in Tanzania. We started in dar es salaam and continued to Mikumi for a small safari trip, which was perfect for a small safari trip. Afterwards, Zanzibar where we stayed in Stown Town, Paje and Nungwi.
All the hotels matched our expectations and all the transportation were included.
All in all, a perfect vacation, perfect service and nice guides.

Great tayloring Safaris adjusted on your budget. Team was flexible with very easy communication.
Msafiri Travels team prepared a well balanced trip to Tanzania in very short term (only 6 days before traveling). Since the beginning comunicaton was fluent.
Even though country is not prepared for stricts Vegeterians, Leina and the team were always in contact with the hotels to make sure everything was prepared for us (daily!).
Perhaps now (after the trip) I would had chosen another park to see more animals. That's the only point to improve from our trip.

Extremely knowledgeable, time conscious and thoughtful.
Everything about the trip was well thought out and very well planned. All activities were on time and communication was very well done.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and constantly made sure we were well taken care of. At Selous, it feels like playing hide and seek with the animals, but out guide knew where to go when to turn and the best angle to get the best photos.
The camp grounds were very clean and the staff was amazing! The food was delicious and felt like home cooked meals. The tents have modern amenities without taking away the camping feel.
Overall it was an amazing experience and would definitely go again

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
We had a very hard time planning the Safari Trip and there were a lot of challenges until this amazing person appeared before we Ride the car to the Safari, Mrs Leina the owner of MSAFIRI TRAVELS. Meeting her was a miracle ,she turned this trip into an amazing experience, she prepared an outstanding program for us , she made sure we were comfortable as we were on our honeymoon . The best thing about her accompaning us to the safari is that she has a lot of information, knowlage and background about the country , the people and the traditions. You can never get enough of listening to the information ,stories and history of Africa ,she has . We went on a one night Safari at Selous ,It was like being in the movie Lion King. It was an unforgettable experience . We couldn't believe our eyes , going on a safari and experiencing being this close to the wild animals is just undescribable.

Very good planned
It was an amazing vacation. The itinerary perfect planned, with activities and transfers. Clean accomodation, the food excellent-african cuisine, but high class. I recomand for everybody to visit Malawi lake, Kitulo and Ruaha national parks unique places without crowds. And the chocolate cake in Iringa...
