An amazing experience
The guide was really nice and helpful, interested in what we wanted to see. Hakuna Natasa was their motto and they tried to make us feel this way.The food was really good too.

Mercury Zanzibar was a reliable tour operator, even thow there were some changes in the program.
We were picked up on time as prearranged in Dar es Salam. We felt always secure due to our very experienced driver, who was a knowledgeable safari guide. His english was quite basic, but over all sufficient. Accommodations were simple, but clean and for the price absolutely o.k. Unfortunately there was a lot of rain in January, what didn't allow us to drive the intended route due to a flooded road. We had to face a very long drive back to Dar es Salam and the next day to Mikumi. But everything was organized and we were housed in a good hotel. The really ennoying thing was, that for the last day our guide did not know that we were supposed to go to Udzungwa. So I recommend to check the program the first day of the trip with the guide. After some discussions and bargaining we found a good deal with Ndamungu from Mercury Zanzibar Travel for a compensation. All over it was a good experience with great game drives and due to the long drives we we saw a lot of the country.
Good experience
Overall the trip was very good but the driver was not good. He did not talk about what we we looking at. He was definitely not a guide, only a driver. Besides this he smelled awful wherefore we all hated sitting in the front passenger seat.
With regards to the trip itself, sailing on the Rufiji River was absolutely fantastic. Spending time at Hippo Camp and experiencing Seleous Game Reserve was amazing. But Mikumi National Park was very disappointing as the national park was being burnt on purpose which meant that most of the animals were gone. Mercury Tour and Safari knew this but still took us there.

Wonderfull experience
We really enjoyed our safari. The contact with the company was very good, they answer every email in almost 10 minutes. We went for a rather low-budget safari, we got a very good price and the campsite (Panoramic view camping at lake manyara) was very cosy with a magnificent view over lake manyara national park. Lunch boxes are simple, but dinner was local and very tastefull. We saw a lot of animals and our guide Abraham had a very good knowledge about the wildlife and a sharp eye.

All of the service were good. They answer at all of need.
As the exception of the airline ticket. It was not very organised.
