Great Safari experience
2 Days, 1 Night - Mikumi National Park
We had an unforgettable 2-day safari for couple with friendly company - Robert (tour guide) and Apollo (driver and park guide with excellence knowledge of flora and fauna). It was tour all-include with night stay in lovely Vamos hotel and game rides on open-top car (do not take any other type, can be waste of your time and money). Organization of tour was excellent, Robert was very attentive to all our needs or requests!
Safari itself is a matter of chance - would your team be lucky to spot rare animals or not. We were lucky! Maybe because of cloudy weather, maybe because of experienced guides. We saw (from very close distance) - elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, hippos, monkeys and other... hundreds of amazing pictures, two smiley faces and total satisfaction with adventure :)
Thank you!

Great Safari!
My friend and I went on a 3 day safari to mikumi national park. We were greeted on time in a friendly and enthusiastic manner. Our guide, Davis, is a really nice man with over 10 years of guiding experience. More than his experience, his kind nature and great stories made the trip all that much better! I would highly recommend Nyasi!

Great experience!
Me and my friend went on a 3 day safari to Mikumi national park. We were quite pleased with our experience with Nyasi Adventure. The transport showed up on time. The guide was friendly and interesting to listen to. He was also informed well enough to answer all of our questions during the trip.
Big ups for the hotel (Vamos Hotel) which was really nice. Just avoid the tropical salsa which got my friend a little sick. But the rooms were beautiful and the beds really large and comfortable (we got one big room each).
The safari itself had a LOT more animals than I expected including three out of the big five (elephant, buffalo, lion).
Great job Nyasi. Keep up the good work!

Awesome safari
Nyasi Adventure was a very nice safari company. They replied quickly and planned a great trip for me and my friend. Devis drove carefully and was an excellent guide; quickly spotting the animals. The lodge they booked was good and they helped describing life in Tanzania. Thank you so much!

The Safari in Mikumi NP was just amazing!! Good weather, super many animals, and a GREAt Tour Guide!
This was my first Safari in life and it was an amazing time!! Seriously, we could see so many of Gods beautiful created animals: Impalas, Buffalos, Zebras, Monkeys, a lot of Giraffes, a lot of Elephants and even Lions. Even though we only had two half days and one whole day, I guess we almost see every part of the NP. The weather was in my eyes quite perfect. Next to a good Lodge (Tan-Swiss), that offered very tasty food, we were blessed with a GREAt our Guide (Davis), who really knew what he is doing. From controlling the Truck, having a very friendly and humble attitude, up to sharing detailed knowledge about the behaviour of the animals. It was a unique experience that I will remember my life long! Praise God, Hallelujah!
THANk You Davis! :)

Davis, an incredible and recommended host!!
We booked the 3 day Selous Game Reserve ('Off the Beaten Track') Safari with Kanuth (However, our guide was Davis - who runs and owns Nyasi Adventure - therefore we want to review this company too) and were not disappointed whatsoever. From the moment we were collected from our Guesthouse, to the moment we returned, we had a fantastic time with Davis, and our cook, Mariam.
We were picked up early on the first day, and driven into the centre of Dar to pick up Mariam (our cook) and some supplies. We then headed out of the mayhem of Dar (a relief for us) onto the roads to take us into the Selous Game Reserve. We stopped for lunch, and a quick snack and toilet stop too. After a bumpy few hours (as the road conditions change, including the type of soil - which makes a lot of difference!) we arrived at the Hippo Camp. We checked into our hut, which was plenty big enough, clean and had a good view over the river. After checking in, we waited for other guests from other companies, who were also staying at Hippo Camp, to arrive and get ready for our river Safari.
This part of the Safari was great. We got to see Hippos, Crocodiles, Kingfishers, Stalks, Monkeys and Yellow Weaver Birds (plus probably more that I can't remember unfortunately). We had the chance to get close to three bloats of Hippos whilst the sun was setting. This was pretty special. Our boat guide gave us a fantastic insight into the river animals, and was able to answer all of our questions.
Back at Camp we had a nice meal with Davis, before retiring to our comfy bed. The next day we went into the Game Reserve. Just before the entrance, we spotted two Giraffes in an open air strip. Our first Safari animals, our favourite Safari animals! The first time you see these animals in the wild, it is a unique and fantastic feeling; something which you never get from a zoo, or enclosed animal parks. In the Game Reserve we saw countless Impalas, Crocodiles, Warthogs, more Giraffes, Zebras, Hippos, Gnus, Vultures, and Monkeys. We also saw some 'Umbrella Birds', which we could watch for hours, providing us with much entertainment as they hunt for small fish.
We were warned we'd be lucky to see Elephants and Lions, given the poaching that occurs on the other side of the river at Selous. However, we were blessed by seeing two Elephant herds and three prides of Lions. One pride of which had not been seen in a region of the Reserve since 2008!! And they had cubs!! The Elephants wandered lazily through the Savannah, one herd had a calf with them, and an adult Elephant wasn't too impressed with us following it after a while! With the Lions, we were able to watch two prides with earlier kills.
The final day of our trip was spent being shown around the Hippo Camp by a former local poacher and tribesman. His insight and knowledge to the local flora and fauna was impressive and captivating. He told us about how many people worship the Baobab tree, and how they copy the lifestyle of the Colobus Monkeys. After this, we set back to Dar, stopping again for some lunch and a toilet break before we hit the nightmarish traffic of Dar (oh how we did not miss Dar whilst on Safari).
Overall, an amazing experience that we will never, ever forget, in part due to the animals we saw, but also in part due to the fantastic hospitality and welcoming nature of Davis, Mariam and everyone at Hippo Camp.
Many, many thanks Davis!! And good luck with this new adventure for you, we hope to see you in the future!

Unforgettable experience!
I went to Selous Game Reserve with a friend in September. At first we didn't know what to expect, because it was our first time in Africa and doing a safari was something new to us. We took the 3 day pack and stayed at Hippo Camp. I made reservations online, and everything went just as planned. From the very beggining we felt this was a great choice because we trusted on what we were booking. So, Davis picked us up in Dar es Salaam and we drove all the way to Selous. Since the moment we got on the jeep until the end of the trip, nothing but great things happened. We are VERY happy we met Davis. We were treated as family, we had an awesome cook that gave us delicious food every day. The people from Hippo camp were very friendly and took care of us all the time. We felt very happy and comfortable there. The safari experience was Great. We can't think of anything wrong about this trip, it was the best travel experience of our lives. Davis has a lot of experience, he could see the animals from a very very far distance, he showed us everything in detail, and also explained a lot of things to us about the animals, their behaviour, etc. We enjoyed this safari 100% and will never forget it. Next year we are going back definitely with Davis as a guide.

Unforgettable experience and very welcoming staff
I have just returned from Tanzania and Zanzibar where i combined safari and relaxing all in the space of 10 days. The most exciting part was by far the safari and only wish i'd booked for longer. Even though it was only 3 days it was still long enough as we had a full itinery and they really do make sure they make the most of the experience. We had the friendliest guide called Davis who made us feel so welcome and has alot of knowledge about the safaris and the best places to find the Big 5. I would recommend this to anyone, you would have an excellent experience and well worth the money!

Volevamo ringraziare il nostro caro amico nonché fantastica guida David che grazie alla sua esperienza ci ha consentito di vivere un esperienza indimenticabile tra i fantastici parchi del circuito del sud Tanzania, chiunque intenda avventurarsi in questa splendida terra non esiti a contattarlo sarà sempre al vostro fianco con la semplicità e l'educazione che lo contraddistinguono, inoltre cosa importante per una guida safari ha gli occhi dappertutto, non vi farà mai rientrare al campo senza aver visto tutto quello di cui il parco è ricco. Insomma io e mia moglie ci siamo affidati a lui e ne siamo più che soddisfatti dopo due anni siamo ancora in contatto
