Excellent tour with helpful guides. Little bit of down time, but they made up for it in hospitality.
I knew what to expect; however, because another group showed up at noon and left early my tour was shortened. However, my tour guide was fantastic and did all he could to accommodate me and the group.

Amazing tourguide Samuel and big five
Quick service by the tour company and good value for the money. We had great time! This budget safari tour was better we could ever have expected. We saw so many animals including big 5 and animals were so close. Right next to our car. Our guide Samuel said that it is all about luck and good timing but we believe that with his 9 year of experience we had even better chance to see all what we saw. Samuel also know so much about all animals and we loved to hear the stories and facts. Big thanks to Samuel, we can highly recommend him to be your tour guide!

A hassle free budget safari with an excellent guide and without compromising the quality.
Swahili Paradise Tours and Safaris comprise of a very professional, knowledgable, energetic team who not only want the best for their customers, but also respect the wildlife. Our guide, Ziki, was exceptionally good at being at the right place in the right time, enabling us to maximise our safari experience in the very minimal time of 3days/ 2nights we had in the Serengeti - Ngorongoro area. We were able to see most of the animals in the region, including the big five in spite of the short duration. In spite of a budget safari, the quality of the tents and the sleeping bags were beyond expectations as they allow you to pick your own bags. Be sure to pick ones that are not damp. Ziki promptly answered our questions and patiently explained and freely shared his knowledge of the wildlife and the environment. Alidi, our cook, prepared amazing meals for us and even went an extra mile to cook vegetarian food for me. Timely wholesome quality meals were provided throughout the safari. Ziki even made calls and ensured we were dropped off at the right place with the right people to carry forward our next journey to climb the Lengai.
To sum up, i strongly recommend Swahili Paradise Tours and Safaris for a budget safari, and in particular Ziki and Alidi. They were very accommodating in spite of our last minute booking and ensured we had a memorable stay in Tanzania.

Really nice people
We took a 3 day safari with swahili paradise tours. They were very helpfull when it came down to being picked up oustide arusha (no additional costs!). everything was just really personal, wich to me is really nice. One of the owners even called us afterwards to aks if everyting went ok en if we like it. I can really recomend this company! The price was one of the lowest compaired to other companies, but the whole trip doesnt differ much from the others.

But the animals was not many
Over 4 days our group (6 people) visited 3 national parks of Tanzania: Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire. I spent the night at the Lodge, and others in tents. I recommend to spend the night at the Lodge is slightly more expensive, but very convenient. More just like Ngorongoro. Tarangire is between Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. In Tarangire a lot of elephants. In the Serengeti the animals were not much. 4 day Safari for me was worth 900$. It is expensive. The driver was not very good: the road was driving not very confident, Not always stayed near the animals, he said himself the amount that I should give tips for him. Couldn't care less about tourists. The food was good. The accommodation was good. But a whole tour like 4. But the animals was not many.

Beautiful safari at Mikumi park
Everything went very smoothly with the booking of our Mikumi safari. Jimmy responded quickly to my mails and accommodated our special wishes professionally. On the first day of the safari, our guide and driver, Joshua, picked us up at the hotel and drove us safely to Mikumi park. We had booked for the night at Vuma tented lodge. It was so beautiful! Our game drives were all interesting and Joshua did everything that we could see all types of animals, watch them from close and take great pictures. We chose to fly from Mikumi to Zanzibar. Swahili Paradise Tours & Safaris booked our flight with a small Chessna plane directly from the Mikumi park airstrip. What a beautiful flight! The transfer from Zanzibar airport to our hotel again went well and the driver was waiting for us although the plane arrived late. In summary: our trip - starting from Dar Es Salaam to Mikumi and going from there to Zanzibar - was a wonderful experience, and everything went smoothly, thanks to Swahili Paradise Tours & Safaris.
