Unforgettable safari with Amani Tours Safaris company'
There were four of us traveling with Amani Tours company, two adults and two children. We had 5-day safari. Daniel from Amani Tours was our guide. We were very lucky with him. He is extremely nice person and very knowledgeable, professional guide. He picked us up from the Kilimanjaro airport and this is how our journey has started. We visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire parks. We have seen all animals we wanted. Serengeti with its Katikati tented camp was the best. Amani Tours recommended us good places to stay according to our budgets.
I recommend Amani Toursl as a reliable safari operator. I would go with them another time.
Great experience
I booked the 2-day Safari to Mikumi National Park spontaniously for last weekend, since I was on a business trip in Tanzania. First I was worried to travel as a woman alone in Tanzania, but Daniel and Alico from Amani Tours Team organized everything so perfectly, that I felt very safe at all times. My guide Alico picked me up at the hotel early in the morning on Saturday and brought me to the airport again after the trip on Sunday evening for my local flght to Arusha. On the Safari, we got to see a lot of elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffalos and even a lion right next to the Jeep! I enjoyed especially the open roof of the jeep, since I had a perfect panorama view, which is just fantastic in the park. I was very lucky with my accomodation too, I got to stay in Mikumi Bandas/cottages, which is a really Budget tent experience. I met the manager of the place and the other guests in the evening when we had dinner together. I even got to feed the bush babies at night with bananas and got to see some wild cats which were around the camp at night. So overall the whole trip was a great experience for me, that I do not want to miss!
I wish I could have more time to stay in Tanzania and see more animals but Amani Tours has showed me a lot of animals.I can't wait to say thank you so much Amani Tours Team for your trustwoth,efficiency and reliability.I will always reccommend Amani Tours to all my aged experienced travellers in America to use Amani Tours when in Tanzania for 'Safari of the lifetime in Africa.

Good Safari but improvable services
We were picked up at the hotel as agreed. However after cash payment we never received a receipt. Further they don´t accept dollar notes issued before 2006. This must be informed before.
The Safari itself went fine and we had luck and could see lots of animals in a short period of time. Actually the full day safari has been finished at 16:00, as there was nothing else to see. So we were left at the lodges until next day for the trip back.
The back journey was a bit stressed, as our schedule was very tight. They picked us 40 minutes too late in the morning. However the guide took time to do some shopping on the route (3 times, for fruits and even an alive chicken, for the chicken we had to wait in the car ca. 20 minutes). Then the car´s clutch was broken and we took lunch, while the other car was coming to pick us up. We were brought to a restaurant with the meals on a box. We were asked by the waiter to pay for a single juice 10.000 Shillings (10 USD) the guides instead of stop the cheating situation, just made fun of us and we had to complain by ourselves, so we got back 6 USD.
We changed the car and kept driving to Dar es Salaam. We were informed that the remained trip to Dar es Salaam was 1,5 hours, but it was 3 and really rushing (we almost crashed with another car in Dar). Finally and running we got the Ferry at the very last minute. I consider too much time has been wasted during the morning so we had this unneeded stress.
The lunch was both days the same, cold fried chips and chicken with a sausage and an boiled egg, all to the eaten with the hands.
