Disingenuous, refuse to communicate
1/5

When an international flight ban cancelled flights into the area, I cancelled my booking for a 3 night safari in Mikumi National park. I paid in advance - 700USD. Due to this being a situation out of our control, the company agreed to refund the costs less the bank fees which I agreed to. Its been over a month and now there is no communication to give any update despite committing to refund the cash due.

Disappointed and angry to say the least, hotels, airlines etc refunded in days....but not these guys - would advise anyone never to pay anything upfront to this company.

Kind, experienced tour operator
5/5

We went with Swahili Paradise Tours and Safaris into 2 National Parks - Ngorongoro and Tarangine. They were totally different, but we had a nice Tour Guide (Jimmy) and he show us all the aspects of both parks, including searching for some wild animals! We got good accommodation with great food, where we spent 2 nights! Time spent for Safari (2 days) was perfect, not too long not too short :)

Best Honeymoon Ever!
5/5

My husband and I were so impressed with Swahili Paradise Tours & Safaris. They were responsive and knowledgeable and flexible to our schedule. We didn’t know what to expect, but we were happily surprised when a smiling face picked us up at the airport (after our flight was delayed) and the adventure started from there. Our three day, two night safari was jam packed with more animals and gorgeous sights than we ever could have imagined. Ngorongoro Crater took our breath away. Highly, highly recommend this tour with these tour guides!!

Úžasná starostlivost o své klienty!!
5/5

S touto společností jsme absolovovali jednou Safari do Mikumi, jednou Stone Town a Spice tour. Také jsme je využívali na různé transfery místo běžného taxi. Oceňuji velice seriózní přístup a plnění dohodnutých podmínek (časových i finannčních). V případě neočekávanýcb problémů měli k nám až nadstandardní přístup. Auto s řidičem bylo vždy čisté, klimatizované a bezproblémové. Vřele DOPORUČUJEME!!!

Exciting, organized has all facilities and above all booking procedures were the simplest
5/5

Well it wouldn't be an exaggeration that we were not going to Tanzania if we haven't found Swahili paradise tours. The communication before was very helpful and simple the salesman was very keen to find us the best deals in time.
We went for 3 days safari with a nice group at Serengeti and Nugorongoro national parks .During the trip all logistics were ready, food was AWESOME . Car was comfortable with enough space for everyone we could even sleep sometimes however the harsh road, most importantly the driver and tour guide were very alert and communicating with other groups to find the big five animals in the great Serengeti national park.
There were always a good space everyday for lunch with clean toilets.
At the end of each day there were that semi safe space in the middle of the park with an indoor space to dine and fire ring where we had a nice chance to meet other groups and I won't even explain how adventurous and exciting was sleeping in the tents while hearing animals eating grass peacefully around you.
Overall I really loved the whole safari experience and Swahili paradise tours made it all easier and fun.

Very good experience with the agency. We had taken the 4-day safari package. A big thank you to guide Philippe for his availability, his good vibes and his search for animal spots. We were able to do the big five of the animals. incredible photos and magical moments.

I highly discourage contact with this company
1/5

We took 2 of the same safari Tarangire NgoroNgoro. We talked with Jimmy to agree on the dates and times of arrival, as well as all the details of our safari. On the first day I paid, everything was great. On the second day we were asked to pay an additional $ 300 for Ngoro-Ngoro because they did not find a suitable group for us. Jimmy did not get in touch, an Inno answered the phone. They refused to fulfill their obligations. As a result, in order not to lose the day, I had to go to Lake Manyara. The overall impression is ruined. The money is lost. I highly recommend not contacting this group.

Мы брали 2 же сафари Тарангире + НгороНгоро. Общались с Jimmy согласовали даты и время прилёта, а также все детали нашего сафари. В первый день я внёс оплату, все было замечательно. На второй день нас попросили доплатить 300$ за Нгоро-Нгоро т.к они не нашли подходящую группу для нас. Jimmy не выходил на связь, по телефону отвечал некий Inno. ВыполнТь свои обязательства отказались. В итоге чтобы не потерять день пришлось ехать на озёро Маньяра. Общее впечатление испорчено. Деньги потеряны. Крайне не рекомендую связываться с этой группировкой.

Desperate customer service
1/5

Again I am waiting on a refund promised by the managing director to pay at the end of Feb, Jan and also December. So far having committed to payment and having submitted account details at their request I have not received anything. The airline refunded in 1 weeks, hotels within 2 weeks, and even the government refunded the visa fee due to us not being able to travel on account of an international travel ban. I feel like I have been robbed, with repeated requests to honour their word being ignored.
