Fantastic experience!
Fantastic experience with Paradise & Wilderness. Everything tailor-made for a fair price. Everything was also arranged in detail, from hotel to transfers!
Thank you for giving us this fun trip!
Especially the manager of Africa Selous and our driver were outstanding. Also Lisa from the customer service!

As promised, we received Paradise & Wilderness, a memory for life!
We planned our Tanzanian road trip in 2020 ... as we all know, plans were rescheduled. We put together a nice trip with our tour operator contact and once we could travel again, communication continued as we never had a break. Before and during our vacation, the services were available. I was very surprised that even everybody from the hotels, guides, government, etc. were all acquainted of our coming and our planned tour. Very nice and comfortable feeling, surely for a non-experienced traveler. Overall I feel to have received value for the money and would recommend to travel in Tanzania and Zanzibar with Paradise & Wilderness for sure! Also the hotels from this group are very comfortable, very friendly staff, great food and drinks; all I could dream off!

Efficient, excellent and customer focus.
The 8 day 7 nights trip was a very memorable one and zanzibar/safaris experience slotted just nice for the duration for me.
The first day at Stone Town will help if you make a bit of own reserch on places of interest. I didn't do any research at all but lucky enough to engage some casual conversation with the locals and found Forodhani Park area in the afternoon and evening. A musical show was there at the fort in the evening and had a taste of local Zanzibaran music. The old part of Stone Town is really historical and Shoba boutique hotel represented this.
The safari trips are very well arranged for the 5 days 4 night program. I am lucky to have Mr Khalid as the guide. He is very experience, excellent knowledge of the safari and animals, and as he is of the same age he is becoming more of a company for me a solo traveler. The lunch food arrangement during safari were packed but they were freshly prepared in the morning. I enjoyed the food a lot and the menu changes throuhout my safari stay. As for the animals, Mr Khalid knew all potential locations and I managed to see all main animals including the difficult to find rhino and cheetah!
The program to end the trip at the beach in Zanzibar was well designed to wind off the hectic safari trip. Still I used the full day there to go for snorkeling.
All in all, it was a very good trip and thank you Paradise and Wilderness for all the arrangement. I felt the value for money even as a solo traveler which I know the cost can easily be optimised if travelling in a group.
It was a real pleasure dealing with Paradise & Wilderness, as all arrangement are very efficient and I can make the trip at a relatively short notice.

Best company for beach and safari in Tanzania
We really recommend anyone who wants to go on safari or beach holiday to Tanzania to book with Paradise Wilderness.
We have booked a 3 week safari / beach holiday with our family and have had a lot of contact in advance about what we wanted. Melanie did a really good job. She has mapped out a safari/beach holiday for us and it was beyond our expectations. It is a fantastic, affordable and very reliable company and everything is arranged down to the last detail, from the taxi that was waiting for us when we got off the plane, the domestic flights to all excursions. It's an advantage that Paradise Wilderness owns all the hotels, lodges tents camps, modern safari cars, they have their own guides and a great staff. All lodges, tents and hotel rooms were spacious, very clean and fully equipped. The staff is extremely friendly and the food is delicious. All the staff really made us feel "at home". During our safari we had a fantastic guide, Christopher, who was like a walking wikipedia. He was by far the best guide we could imagine. He really knew everything about the wildlife and he wasn’t just a guide but became a friend. We had such an incredibly beautiful holiday that we will never forget. Many thanks to Paradise Wilderness, and especially Melanie, for this unforgettable experience.

Amazing
I visit Lake Manyara and Lake Natron.
Complete different.
We saw a lot of animals in Manyara and were lucky to see also the fameus lions in the trees.
So happy.
The road to Lake Natron was very interesting.
It looks like a moonlandshape , empty ,grey and stones.
And suddenly out of the blue , the Masai with their red clothes and cattles . Amazing .
We had a guided tour to the Lake . Spectaculair with all the flamingo’s.
Nice lodges, good guide and confirtable car .
Communications , service and reliability was perfect .
The tour was more than I expected and for sure : value for money .
Paradise and Wilderness till next time.

Amazing from start to finish!
My friend and I booked on a 9 day driving safari from Arusha to Serengeti. We were greeted at our starting point by our driver Eddie who straight away made us feel at ease and quickly understood our personality’s and what our main interests were for the trip. From then we went straight on a game drive and it absolutely amazing! We saw so many animals and couldn’t believe how lucky we’d been on just day 1!
Going forward the trip just seemed to get better and better each day. We experienced and saw so many amazing things and learnt so much from our amazing driver Eddie. He really went out of his way to ensure we had the best possible time and even sat and ate with us most evenings which we really enjoyed and created a great friendship with a great person!
The activities included (such as the waterfall walk in lake natron) was absolutely incredible. Again we met some great local people (Jon in particular) who accompanied us to the waterfalls and we’re blown away with his friendly ness and attentiveness, and of course the views!!
All the accommodations were great with plenty of space and comfy beds! Each place we visited we found everyone to be so friendly and helpful.
Thank you guys for making this the best trip of a lifetime we would 100% recommend to anyone who wants to explore this amazing country and see some totally amazing wildlife!

Wonderful 2.5 day Safari experience
We had a great experience with Paradise & Wilderness. The communication upfront ran always very well, they were answering every question, providing tips prior to the trip, all in all really good.
We did the 3 day DRIVE & FLY BACK SAFARI SERENGETI, though I must say it's actually 2.5 days, not 3, since the last day we had to be at around 11.00 AM at the airstrip, so it was a short game drive in the morning.
Our driver was Vincent, and he did a GREAT job, he was very friendly and respectful, knowledgeable about the animals, and very supportive when we wanted to have an early start to make the most of the days. We were lucky and saw really all the animals except the rhino, and many of them really up close, so I can say the combination of parks that is included in this package worked really well for us.
The 3 different accommodations we stayed at were great, and the staff in all of them was super friendly. The beds were comfortable, and the food was good. Some of them are decorated with African motives which really build up the atmosphere.
We went for the Comfort Tent, highly recommendable, as you have a good bed and a private bathroom.
In summary, a wonderful experience and I would recommend to hire your safari trip with Paradise & Wilderness.

Great balance of beach and wildlife
Did a two week tour which comprised a couple of days on the beach in Zanzibar, a week in game lodges and five days back on the beach in Zanzibar. I thought the service was great, the staff were all friendly, food was very nice and all of the hotels we stayed at on the tour were of a high standard. I thought the value for money was excellent.
