Excellent 3-day Serengeti and NgoraNgora tour
The communications, both written and oral, were clear. The service was excellent! The guides gave good description of the animals, birds and the nature with interesting details, noticed many animals which one can easily miss (especially cheetahs). Saw many animals: lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffe, monkeys, hippos, wildebeasts, zebras, ostriches, eagles, other birds, hogs. Saw a lion hunting a hog (luckily managed to escape). Visited a maasai village. Exceeded my expectations.

Very professional tour
The tour operators were good company for the whole trip and tried to find the best places in the park, respected all requests and provided any information.

Great shared safari! No complaints!
We were very satisfied with the Serengeti/Ngorongoro 3 days/2 nights safari! Jimmy was of great help. He booked not only safari for us, but also accommodation and transfers in Zanzibar plus the flight from Zanzibar to Arusha. We managed to see lots of animals in the open plains of Serengeti, as well in the Ngorongoro crater. We opted for the shared safari, sleeping in tents. There were six of us in the group. The car was in decent condition, the driver/guide was informative and the cook prepared delicious meals. Recommended!

Amazing Experience All Around
Our experience with safari bookings was fantastic!! 8 of us in our group all had a once in a lifetime trip on the 3day safari. I booked everything through Jimmy who basically became our travel agent for any and everything we needed arranged! He had rides for us to and from airports and hostel suggestions for the days prior and after the safari. Everything ran smooth and on time and was professional and higher than our expectations! The food prepared by our chefs on the safari were a pleasant surprise too we really enjoyed it even though that was something we were worried about! The camping arrangements were top notch as well! Camping one night in the central Serengeti and another night on the rim of the ngororongo crater - we were in awe! The tents and sleeping bags were cozy as well, although you may want to bring a pillowcase and stuff some clothes in it to use as a pillow! During the safari I think we saw just about every animal we could think of - it was as if we’d name an animal we wanted to see next and out of nowhere boom it was right in front of us. There were 8 of us total in our group and not a single one of us has anything negative to say about this experience. A great deal budget camping for a safari and an overall fantastic experience! DO IT!

We had a wonderful time at Tremisana and Marc's Treehouse Lodge with the friendly and inviting staff
We booked a three night safari in South Africa in Kruger National Park using Swahili Paradise Tours and Safaris and were very happy with the experience. The staff at Tremisana and Marc's Treehouse is the highlight of the entire experience- They are friendly, inviting, and very accommodating. The facilities are clean and well maintained though they aren't the most modern. It's hardly a problem because you won't be spending too much time there anyway. You can get Wi-Fi in the common area at each location, but not really anywhere else. The staff is very helpful if you need to find the right adapter to charge your mobile device. The bush walks are a great addition to the safari drives. The guides are very knowledgeable and provide a lot more information about the wildlife and landscapes than you'd ever get from just driving around the area.

Well organised Safaris for a very good price
We booked a 10 day Safari in Tanzania southern parks and got a very good offer from Swahili Paradise Tours & Safaris. We never found a comparable price for the tour we wanted to do. The communication was with Jimmy via WhatsApp. That is a very easy and fast way for the bookings. The lodges were really nice and the drivers were also very good. One time we were disappointed with a walking safari that we took part of, as it was not what we expected. We called Jimmy and he made us a new booking for free immediately, and that one was great!
After Safari we went to Mafia island, where Jimmy booked a nice location for us. Apart from the raining weather every day, we enjoyed the island a lot as well. I would recommend Tanzania to everyone who loves Safari and booking with Swahili Paradise Tours & Safaris makes everything quite easy.

Exellent service and flexibility from the begining to the end
We were very satisfied for the sales, communication, safari and the services. Flexibility was very nice since we travelled with 4yrs old
Saw the big 5, very well organised and eager to please!
The safari was amazing. We saw everything we wanted to in three days. I don't think anyone else would have got as good service for the price

Good service, everything well organised
We have booked a safari with Jimmy some months before the safari. Swahili Paradise Tours did a great job on making the safari. We had a good 4x4 car and food was good. There were no problems on the safari. We have seen beautiful spots in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. In the end, we skipped the Masaai tour (because it was too commercial). Unfortunately a refund could not be made. Our driver (Emmanuel) was the best driver we could imagine.
We do have some suggestions, because there is room for improvement. For example: the camping gear was old and dirty. It's better to fix better gear for more comfort. Also, we ended the safari in Lake Manyara, while it's better to start there (because it's not that impressive after you went to Serengeti).
After all it was a beautiful experience and we're happy that we've booked with Swahili Paradise Tours! Thank you Jimmy.
