Paradise and Wilderness provided an outstanding safari experience from beginning to end!
We just completed a 2 week safari in Tanzania that we booked through Paradise & Wilderness. Our booking agent Anouk was extremely helpful and answered all of our questions before and during the trip. The experience was excellent! We stayed at multiple lodges during our trip. We found them all to be clean and the staff friendly and accommodating. We were also able to easily book additional activities during the trip. Our jeep driver did an outstanding job taking us through the various parks and helping us to see and learn about the animals. The food was very good and the staff at all of the lodges did a great job of accommodating my special dietary needs. A special thank you to the Lake Manyara Lodge chef and his staff who really went out of their way to ensure that I was satisfied with all of my meals. Overall, I highly recommend Paradise & Wilderness and hope that I can one day go there again!

A very professional tour operator who was able to prepare a high quality safari for us.
A big thank you to Mirene for the quality of the program she offered us and to Adson, our driver/guide, who was able to guide us throughout this safari, introducing us to all the local fauna. A skillful driver, he knew how to avoid all the pitfalls of the tracks he took.
The accommodations were very clean and of good quality.
All the staff encountered were very warm and showed great kindness.
The food was in quantity and quality.
In the end, a very beautiful trip and an unforgettable memory.

Absolute recommendation!
We visited Zanzibar for 4 days and made a journey across the mainland where we visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Lake Ndutu, South- Central- and North Serengeti, Pololeti, Lake Natron and Arusha. David “Google”, our tourguide, did a excellent job showing us the beauty of the wildlife in Tanzania. For 8 days he was not only our driver, but also our guide with all the answers to our many questions. His nickname “Google “ was well deserved. He explained so much about the ways of the animals and also about the nature and the vegetation. We were very lucky that we’ve spotted the big five multiple times and saw many lions and cheetah’s. David knows where the best pictures can be taken and we felt really secure with him as the driver. Besides his enjoyable gamedriving skills David is also a relaxed guy to join you on your travels. He constantly checks-in, notices your nonverbal signs and is very flexible when the plan changes. He communicates easily and speaks English very well. We finished the day in the jeep with a drink in the camp, make sure you ask him about his favorite drink, and shared some nice stories and good laughs. David absolutely made our trip, so be sure you’re the lucky few that can ride along in his jeep! He also knows the right people in the area of the camps if you are interested in an excursion. We can recommend Lebangootie as a guide for Lake Natron. He will show you the wonderful surroundings and tell you about the cultural life as well. Make sure to visited the waterfalls. Lebangootie is part of the community that lives near the river and made us feel very welcome during our visit. Definitely ask for him! Lake Ndutu was our favorite camp. As you are coming up to the Serengeti we had an escort of many, many giraffes on our travels. When we arrived at the camp, the bonfire was on and we were so very welcomed by Abdallah and his colleagues. It’s truly amazing that in the middle of nowhere you get that kind of comfort in a tented camp but also the very pleasant atmosphere coming from Abdallah and staff. Great guys! We slept like 2 baby cheetah’s with the sound of a roaring lion in the background. Magical place!
Also special thanks to Anouk Arts for being so helpful and flexible planning this trip. If you’re from the Netherlands and looking for a welk-organized dream tour, definitely contact Anouk.
So as it shows, our holiday was not only made by the many animals we got to experience in their natural habitat, but also by the wonderful people we’ve met. Honest, pure, super friendly, really trying to do their up most best to give an overwhelming experience.
Therefore asante sana David!! Love from your dada and kaka from the Netherlands.

More than expected !!!
I had a great time & experience in Tanzania!
Full of great scenery, a lot of animals, warm heart people...
Although I faced a lot of troubles, all the people helped me quickly, smoothly.
Anouk gave me many advices before Tanzania trip, so I felt relived and could join this tour without any concerns.
Lazzaro is a professional driver, safe, kind, quite reliable.
All the accommodations are very exciting, especially Lake Manyara. I could meet a lot of animals closely on site!
Long driving is tough, but there's something else to gain other than that!!!!

Wonderful Safari Tour with a perfect guide
We enjoyed a wonderful 8-day safari trip through several National parks (Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti). Our guide was very friendly, a perfect driver (which is really important on Tansanian roads) with excellent eyes to spot many animals even from far away!
The office was very helpful even with last-minute change wishes of our trip. Thank you very much for this beautiful holiday trip!

Perfect
Peter our tour guide was the very best, he was excellent actually. He saw animals way before we did, and believe
me we had our eyes peeled the whole time. He even saw a Rhino way in the distance, that all of us would have missed,
with my zoom lens I was able to get a pic of the Rhino. He was personal, yet professional and took excellent care of us.
The lodges and "tents" were just fine, food was good, service was exceptional. We had zero worries from a late arrival and pick
up to drop off at the airport on departure
I have and will continue to recommend this company to anyone who wants to safari in Tanzania
Our pick of camp sites would be Lake Manyara, Maasai Boma, Safari Serengeti Ikoma. Lake Natron was good but expect
some heat there.
