Worth every penny spent on this particular tour with Nyasi Adventure
We were a small group of 7 travel enthusiasts from India. We booked our Mikumi Safari with Nyasi adventure and we had the best experience as customers. Davis was a gem of a driver and guide.

knowledgeable, pleasant and with great patience and humor
from the start, everything worked better than expected, when you book online you are never really sure, but in this case it was completely unfounded. they had planned suitable distances with the car so we had the chance to go to the toilet from time to time and enjoy good lunches along the way. our trip went to mikumi park. we saw 3 of the big five (the park doesn't have rhino) so it was almost jackpot, but there are so many more animals than that to see…
Very professional
The experience was wonderful, we were provided with all the details of the trip beforehand and everything went smoothly from pickup to the last day of the trip.
I definitely recommend Nyasi Adventure if you are planning your next safari adventure in Tanzania.

Nyasi looks after its clients like family
We were on the road with Davis for over 2 weeks and every moment was magical. We combined visits to the northern and western circuits, driving in between, with Davis very patiently answering our hundreds of questions about what people were doing, how they make their living, what crops they grow in each area, where the children go to school....Nothing was too much trouble. He must have been exhausted at the end of each day but you wouldn't know it. Nyasi's organisation was so efficient that we were able to completely relax and take it all in. Davis worked tirelessly to give us the best chance of seeing as many animals and birds as possible. The mid-range accommodation selected for us was superb. A safari is the most amazing experience and I can't imagine it being better with any other company.

Perfectly planned, informative and friendly
Our day out with Alex was fantastic - he shaped up a tour that took us to Nairobi national park, the giraffe centre and the Karen Blixen museum, allowed plenty of time at each, and made the whole thing easy. Communication was a breeze, pickup and drop off were exactly as planned, and Alex was a wonderful host for the day. Absolutely would recommend.

Nyasi has been my go-to safari company in East Africa (esp. Tanzania) for years.
Nyasi Adventure has consistently given me everything I've wanted in my East Africa experience. I work in global environmental conservation and I have been working with Davis and Robert (Nyasi owners) since 2017. I have depended on Nyasi for field work, taking stakeholders on trips, and for my own sight-seeing. The company has never steered me wrong. I have always had a good experience and I never worry once I'm in country and in their vehicles. Davis (and Robert, whom I don't know as well) is fair, easy to work with, and fun to be around. If you are in Tanzania, I highly recommend Nyasi. Even if they are unavailable, they will be able to connect you to other, trustworthy companies in the region.

I cannot imagine how it is possible to be a better Tanzanian tour operator than Nyasi Adventure.
Nyasi Adventure: trip of a lifetime! But so good, we went twice. :)
In 2013, our family of four including two early-teenage daughters travelled in southern and eastern Tanzania with Davis. We had such an amazing time that we could not wait to go back (this time to the north, and west), but with one thing and another, we had to be patient and wait until 2023. We had some pretty high expectations based on the first experience, but even then, they were more than exceeded!
Taking the two trips together, we have travelled for nearly 6 weeks with Davis and Nyasi Adventure: in all that time, there was not a single glitch, delay, breakdown or interruption. We always have 100% confidence that things will work as intended, and be safe and fun.
On safari (Swahili for travel - don't picture 1800s guys going hunting!) with Davis, there is never a dull moment. Elephants over there, a leopard in that tree, hey, there's a Little bee-eater, a Martial eagle circling, and those dots are a group of eland - let's go and check them out! All interspersed with great food and lively conversation on a million topics.
Davis and Nyasi Adventure work tirelessly for the clients to make the trip as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Everything is efficient, comfortable, and can be tailored to individual needs. While the website suggests some tours, these can be adjusted, combined, and otherwise optimized. Flexibility, charm, personality.
Our 2023 trip was extraordinary. After the very long flight from Australia, we started with two days around Moshi, including a fun trip to Materuni coffee village. Then, off to Tarangire for a gorgeous savannah experience with wonderful cross-section of the big animals and a good representation of the smaller things. A vist to Lake Manyara revealed a spectacular wet environment with waterbirds, lions, olive baboons in great numbers, multiple species of hornbills and more. Ngorongoro is world heritage for good reason - the spectacular crater was scenic enough on its own but the plains were alive with animals, including rhinos. Then four days in the Serengeti, possibly the highlight of a trip full of highlights. The main purpose of going there was to see migrations - wildebeest, zebras, buffalo and other species in large numbers were there as anticipated. But as always, so much else going on for those who like wildlife large and small. One of Davis's many super-powers is finding big cats, so we were treated to leopards (whose mating is not completely romantic) and more than one female cheetah with her cubs. And pretty much everything at close quarters.
The next phase was unusual to combine with northern Tanzania - we really wanted to see chimpanzees and Lake Tanganyika. So off to Gombe National Park in the west. The chimps were very much in evidence, and on a day when we had spent a couple of hours of easy trekking to find and watch them, a group also came through our tented camp, providing even more relaxed views. The Lake is very special - large enough to be tidal but then it's weird for it to be fresh. After an extraordinary trip to the wild and remote Katavi National Park with deep waterholes and a profusion of wildlife, we rounded out with some R&R at Lake Shore - wonderful and welcoming accommodation like all the places on our trip. But it was not all sipping cocktails by the water - we made a snorkelling pilgrimage to see the famous Lake Tanganyika cichlid fish.
I'd be hard pressed to say whether I preferred the southern/eastern parks, or northern/western. All amazing! Just more reasons to keep going back to Tanzania. I genuinely cannot imagine how a company could do a better job of Tanzanian safari than Nyasi Adventure does. Along with a decent camera, it's the best use of money I have ever made.

Fantastic experience from start to finish!!
We had an amazing 3 days in Mikumi with this company! They gave us the most incredible safari and found all of the animals! We even saw lions and leopards as well as elephants zebras buffalo hippos giraffes and many more!
The communication with the company was fantastic from start to finish. They were super quick to reply through WhatsApp and were extremely reliable!
The cost was very affordable and extremely reasonable. We would highly recommend this company to anyone!
Thank you again for making our Tanzania trip so great!!

trouble free organisation and good experience
Omari, our guide, was a star. Easy to be with, good chat, lots of knowledge and superb driving! it worked very well for the two of us having him all to ourselves! Thank you!
Great experience!
Wonderful experience, we look a lot of animals in his wildlife. The safari was full, nice guide, but the single problem was that guide and the pilot was the same person, I hope more information
