All the tryp was well done and my clients really satisfied
I send a small group for a safari in Tanzania and then some days in Zanzibar
everything was well organized, the car , the driver, the accomodation
Daniel followed my clients from the beginning to the end !!!!
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.

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.

3-day safari in Mikumi NP
We booked a 3-day budget safari to Mikumi NP. We are really satisfied about the Safari and our guide Juma. The only thing we didn't like was that it said that we were staying inside the park but we were not and the last day it was just a drive passing the park on the highway and we didnt have a safari car it was a normal car.
There are no cheetahs or rhinos in the park but we saw all the other cool animals.
Recommended!
Wonderful experience
Dear Amani tours! Thank you very much for the organization of our 3-day Selous safari! Everything was perfect! We liked it very much. Our guide Daniel, the driver, the chef did their job very well. They were very helpful and nice, they really cared about us and tried to do everything to make us feel comfortable and excited.
So, we will recommend your company to our friends.

2 day safari Mikumi nat. park
Pick up from DAR ferry terminal by Daniel and Mohammed.
Fantastic experience, our first safari. We saw elephants, lions, hippos, impalas, giraffes, whartogs, zebras etc. and all in close range with park entrance and cottage.
Very helpfull guide Mohammed. We slept in a cottage at the park. Diner was a good beef stew with rice,
a nice open bar under a big tree beautiful night with lots of stars.
In the very early morning Elephants at "our back yard"
we had breakfast the second day at 0600, but unfortunately Mohammed forgot to tell us that restaurant was not serving at that time but breakfast was ready on table.
Electricity is cut of at cottage from 00:00 till 06:00 (no light, fan or airco) so do not forget to bring a flashlight (!) and take this in account when you charge your batteries (you will make many photos / films)
unfortunately trip was in a regular van - not a 4W Jeep as on photo at request.
We had not taken in account the duration of the trip, from Dar to Mikumi is a 6 hr drive (approx 280 km).
schedule in short;
Day 1 pick up at Zanzibar resort at 0600 - arrival at park 16:00 hrs - afternoon drive till 18:30 - many animals
Day 2 breakfast at 0600 - drive (incl. lions at public "high"way) - departure to Dar at 0830 - Dar 1400, Ferry - back at resort 1830.
Again a very tiring but again fantastic experience !!

Good experience with Amani Tours
I booked a family tour with Amani for 3 days to Mikumi National park and our experience was positive. The kids had a great time. The tour Guide, Julius was very good and helpful. He seems quite experienced and he helped us to see most animals at the park including Elephants and a lion on the first day. we stayed at Mikumi Adventure Lodge which was also nice and comfortable. Our kids loved the fire place, they went there playing every evening. The staff were also nice. Even though the journey was tiring, we were happy we made it. Thank you Daniel.

Rip off
Doing a safari was one of my biggest dreams. This operator defiantly ruined it. Everything went wrong, but I´ll try to keep it short. I had to pay a 50 % deposit by bank transfer so that a guy sometimes called Donald sometimes Daniel could make a reservation for a hotel. It cost me a fortune and as it turned out: nothing was reserved. I had to share not just a room, but also a bed with the other girl on the tour. Yes, two strangers in one bed! Daniel/Donald stayed in Daressalaam. The driver barely spoke english, but enough to tell us that his boss turned off his phone when we insisted on two rooms or on the pop up roof jeep we booked and payed for. We had to do the safari in a little Toyota. After the rain season the grass is so high that many times you can't see a thing. We never went too far away from the lodge since the car couldn't manage many of the bumpy roads without 4x4. Yes, sometimes we saw animals, but there was no real safari feeling. I am so disappointed. :(
