Great instinct, amazing experience, the perfect overnight safari!
My safari surpassed any of my expectations. Upon arrival at Ruaha we had the camp site set up in minutes and a delicious lunch prepared right away. On our first drive I was thrilled with how much knowledge Ernest has of the safari animals (even an extensive acumen on the birds!) and his sharp eye spotted a cheetah laying in tall grass! Just amazing! The dinner was delicious and coffee around the campfire was a complete thrill. Ernest's instincts the next morning told him to travel on the hill path and within 20 minutes we were no more than 20 meters from a Leopard! He was calling all the other guides to let them know where the action was. I could not recommend him enough, and his personality and insight only enhanced the experience, A+ 5 star trip!

Exciting!
Loved our safari in Ruaha! Our guide was Ernest, and he knew all the places to go, we spotted a leopard just minutes after entering the park! If he saw an animal he wanted us to see, we were off-roading! He was very accommodating and wanted to make sure we were happy with what we were doing. We had a great experience!

A wonderful trip with a great guide and driver
Tanzania is maybe not the best country to take on a self drive Safari which is our normal method. Instead we used the services of Ernest of Chabo who provided us with safety, security, and fantastic game experiences in the southern park areas. We rounded off with a few days at the beach on the mainland, again first class.

Best Guide and Amazing Experience!!!
Going on Safari has been on my wish list for as long as I can remember and my experience with Chabo Africa Adventure exceeded what I ever imagined. Ernest is incredibly knowledgable about the landscape, local history and has an almost magical instinct. We saw everything we wanted to see and more. He took great care of our group, made us feel safe at all times and provided an excellent experience overall. The food was outstanding and it is a trip I will never forget. No need to go with anyone else.

Unforgettable!
The safari by far exceeded my expectations! It was fun, exciting, thrilling, and educational. We got up close to so many different animals and I always felt safe. I highly recommend this experience to ANYONE who is even slightly considering it! Cannot wait to go back next year!

My experience with Chabo Africa Adventure was incredible and will now have lifelong memories.
The communication was very smooth and easy process. The service was extremely good and certainly lived up to my expectations. Also, the safari tour was really nice, we got to see many animals and our guide was very knowledgable with lots to add as we toured the park. He was a great professional at his job and highly recommend him to others who are traveling to Africa for a safari.

The best and most personalised Safari you will ever find!
Chabo was highly recommended by an aquaintence and we had high expectations. They were all exceeded. My family and I had many special interests and wishes, and Chabo were extremely helpful and inventive in helping us realise all our dreams. Also, the guides expertise and experience in nature, preservation, culture and both ancient and contemporary history was quite impressive. We LOVED the South part of Tanzania. Don´t miss the opportunity to make this excellent safaricompany help you put together a lifetime experience according to YOUR interests and budget. I especially recommend the fantastic combination of a great safari with the timeless beauty of Isimila stoneage site, including a visit to the village that will change your "western-european" way of thinking forever. Oh, and our Chabo guide is one of the nicest persons we´ve ever met!

Excellent visit to Ruaha
We visited this summer with our two kids the Ruaha National Park with Chabo Africa Safari and had a great Safari. Ruaha is a very beautiful national park with a magnificent river and hills full of old baobabs and wild animals. Ernest is from the area so he knows it very well and also knows everybody there. He also knows quite a bit about the history of the tribes and villages between Iringa and Ruaha and organised or last day a good cultural visit to one of the villages with some local guides.
Ernest is a very experienced safari guide and has been working as a ranger before and he has a lot of stories about his adventures. Thanks to his experience in spotting animals we saw a lot: elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, gazelles, kudus, impalas, jackals, buffalos, crocodiles, hippos, hyena, large birds and 2 cheetahs. He also knows a lot of other guides so if we had less luck in the area we were he soon had a tip from a collegue where the animals where hiding. What we also liked is that he is very flexible to adapt the program to what we liked.
The food we got was excellent, it was diverse, good portions and very well prepared salads and a nice variety of european, african and indian dishes. Ernest also asked us in advance if we were vegetarians or had any other food preferences in order to adapt the food to our wishes.
