Brilliant Udzwunga and Mikumi Tour
We had a brilliant 4 days organised by Wildness Safari. Having no knowledge of safari companies we researched as far as possible and feel we selected a good one based on our experience. After booking, all queries via email were very quickly responded to and answered. I felt I was dealing with an organised and professional company. I also wanted to change the itinerary slightly, allowing us to visit a school that we have links with, and the company were able to accommodate that also.
Ahmed personally came to pick up our final payment the day before we went on Safari at a time convenient to us and he brought along Raj who would be our driver and guide. Thought this was a nice personal touch.
Raj arrived early on the day of the Safari so we left on time. The drive is a long one to the Morogoro region ( 5 hours or more ) but lots to take in as you drive along and Raj provided an excellent service informing us of things of interest ( as well as being a great guy, easy to get on with ).
The detour to the primary school added a few hours extra to our journey but it was worth it and Raj just took it all in his stride. Eventually we reached Mikumi and enjoyed our first taste of a Safari as the animals are just roaming free beside the road.
When we arrived at Camp Bastian there were no issues on arrival or with any part of the organisation over the few days. The camp has a lovely vibe and I would highly recommend. Lodge rooms are small but what would you expect on Safari?
Our trip to the Udzwunga Mountains was fantastic. The walk to the Sanje Waterfalls is about 6km and is challenging but manageable. We learnt and saw such a lot led by an enthusiastic local guide. Raj had made sure we had a guide who knows his stuff so we had the best experience possible. The views from the top are amazing and the chance to have a dip in the cold plunge pool was exhilarating.
The Safari to Mikumi National park was awesome and brilliantly guided by Raj. Mikumi is a smaller, quieter park I believe and so we could enjoy the wild at our leisure. Even managed to see a lion and cubs thanks to Raj's determination ( and luck ).
Great experience made even better by the personal service we received from start to finish from Wildness Safari.
Overall exceeded our expectations. Thank you Wildness Safari

Outstanding!
Abraham was such a great guide. He went above and beyond for my parents. My mother has arthritis and was having trouble getting in and out of the truck. Abraham had a step-stool commissioned for her so it would be easier. He was very patient with my parents in general. He was also an excellent driver, trying his best to mitigate the bumpy ride.
The tour itself was great. We went to Selous, Ruaha, and Mikumi. We were able to get very close to most of the animals in Selous, saw many giraffes in Ruaha, and spent a wonderful sunset with the hippos in Mikumi. The accommodations worked well for us. Although the food portions were at times way too much.
Overall, it was a great trip. Couldn't have asked for nicer weather or more gracious hosts or a better driver.

Fantastic Southern Tanzania Safari !
My wife and I went on a 9 Day Tour of Selous GR, Mikumi NP, Udzungwa Mountain NP and Ruaha NP from February 26 - March 6 2018. We had a fantastic time.
This was our first safari and I found Wildness Safari on the SafariBookings.com website. They helped us organize a custom Mid-Range Private tour. I found out – a private tour is exactly that – we could customize our trip however we wanted as it was just for the 2 of us. On our game drives we could pace our game viewing to fit our interests and desires. We found all the accommodations and food to be absolutely fantastic. The food was always superb – fresh, good tasting and nutritious. Every tent/room we stayed in had a nice shower/bathroom. The only downside, is most accommodations in the bush do not have air-conditioning. But the camps are always shady and there are plenty of cold drinks. So everything is good.
We were very happy we booked with Wildness Travel. They were easy to work with and very responsive. We did customize our trip to fit our goals and they worked with us to make sure everything was right for us. Even with the difference in time zones between Tanzania and California, Wildness Safari would respond within a few hours to any email requests we made.
Once on Safari, we had the most excellent guide and driver -- Roger. First, Roger is a very nice human being and a pleasure to be around. Second, he is an expert guide and driver. He knows all the game reserves and national parks completely. He knows where to look for all the animals. He is an expert and can identify all animals, birds, and plant life. We calculated that he has been on roughly 400 Safari's in the last 10 or so years. So he knows his stuff. It is obvious that he loves finding and seeing the animals as much as his clients. He makes everything fun and educational. Life is very good out in the bush -- surrounded by nature and distant horizons!
We wholeheartedly recommend Wildness Safari. They are the best!!

10 Days Adventure Safari
Wildness Safari are very prompt in responding their mail, bigs up to Ahmed, the Safari expert for arranging the trip. Time fled very fast as 10 days went like 2 days. Everything was well arranged & went as planned. We had a great adventure at the Selous, Ruaha, Udzungwa & Mikumi. These places are awesome & few tourist in these places. We had seen most of the animals in their nature. We had a good vehicle & safari guide Ibra, Ibra was safe driver & he is very professional with knowledge of flora & fauna. We have left our heart & will be coming back again. We recommend Widness Safari
