Superb experience in Ruaha
Among my 6 safari experiences, exploring the Ruaha with Chabo has been one of the best. The park itself is outstanding even during wet season and since the first moment I had the impression that Ruaha is Ernest's second home! His great passion, instinct, professionalism and experience has led us to discover the wonders of Ruaha for 3 days that are not related to animals only, but the nature itself. I also would like to thank Ernest because helped us a lot when one of us got sick. Definetely Chabo is a reliable company and Ernest a brilliant guide! Asante Sana!

Fantastic, well English speaking guides with a lot of knowledge about Tanzania (and insider tips)
We went with Modestus from Iringa (where we stayed some days at Neema Crafts - very good place) to Isimila.
He explained us all needed about that traditional place while we walked around as well as the flowers and animals we have seen. After that days we went with him to the Ruaha NP, where we stayes three days in a very nice tent lodge with very good food. Here we made a two days visitation of the Ruaha NP, one at day time, one in the very early morning. It was fantastic to have breakfast in the park. Back in Iringa we spent a day and an evening with Modestus and learned a lot more as well. Choose this guides - you can´t do a mistake!

Adventure with Modest: Fly camping in Selous
If you want to get the special kick on a safari, you should go for fly camping together with Modest. Thats what we have done in January 2015. The pathes have been already a little bit mushy and the tents were flooded, but we took it with humor and Modest did his best to manage the situation. And after all we got our cheetah, hunting an antelope. What more do you want? My unlimited recommendation.

6 days - mikumi and ruaha
Before we booked our safari we gained a lot of advice from Chabo. We didn't know exactly where to go.
Their advice helped us a lot and we were able to arrange a suitable safari straight from the Airport.
Modest is a very nice guy, with lots of jokes. Very good to have on your safari. He spotted a lot of animals with his so called 'eagle eye'. The accomodations where we staid were good.
I would recomment Chabo to everyone who wants a safari fit to their needs.

Great safari
Great experience with chabo safari! The communication before our trip was good, quick response and very helpfull since we werent sure were to go. We decided to go to Ruaha park and Mikumi (which is on the way to ruaha) since serengeti would be filled with tourists at this time. Our Tour guide Modest picked us up at the aiport and filled our trip with his jokes and big smile. We saw a lot of different animals and Modest had a great eye for spotting them! Would Highly recommend doing your safari with chabo.

Family safari
We went for a holiday with the whole family (2 parents and 5 children) and we had the time of our lives!
We started at Dar-Es-Salaam and made a trip past various parks in the south of Tanzania, like Selous, Ruaha, and Mikumi. We were stunned by the breathtaking views along the way. Tanzania is such a beautiful country with nice white beaches, impressive mountains and most important, very kind people. Everything was planned, so we could sit back, relax and enjoy our time in Tanzania.
Modest was our guide and he told us everything about the areas we crossed. He taught us a few things about the nature and wildlife of the different parks, he showed us 4 of the big 5 and he made us laugh a lot because he is a really funny guy.
If you want a nice, relaxing holiday with some very interesting experiences and with everything well cared for, I would recommend this company. I'm sure you will have a wonderful holiday!

Personable and Knowledgeable
I was duly impressed with both the friendliness and knowledge even back in Modest's early days as a guide. Uncanny ability to make you feel right at home and safe, even as you wander close to lions, water buffalo, and such. We've even remained friends over the years.
Exceeded all of our expectations :)
after doing a lot of safari tours all over tanzania, i am pretty sure that Ernest from Chabo Africa Advebture is by far the most skilled and sociable safari guide that i have seen.
his routes were very well thought out and his skills for spotting animals were unbelievable. with his good contacts and connections, he was always keeping track wirh all the animals that have been spotted in the park, which granted us a couple of chances to experience stuff which is definitely not included in the average safari tour ;)
the downside could have been that he insisted on picking us up a bit too early.. which tirned out to be just fine :D
its definitely worth travelling to iringa just to go on a safari with him :D

Professional service and Warm Tanzanian Hospitality at unbeatable prices!
I booked a 7-day tour to Mikumi, Udzungwa and Ruaha for myself and 5 friends with Chabo. A tight schedule in the difficult rainy season. The trip went off without the tiniest hitch, all arrangements worked perfectly and with great flexibility. Game viewing was awesome, no small feat with the grass so high this time of year. Our guide Modest grew up and lives here - every one knows him and he is on his home ground; we were welcomed and well cared for all along the way. I am an experienced guide and tour leader myself (in other parts of the world) and know top quality when I see it. I fully reccomend Modest and his company , they are totally reliable and will not disappoint you.
