Experienced, customer friendly and flexible travel agency with a professional and helpful staff.
In 2019 I booked our Tanzania/zanzibar holiday with Paradise & Wilderness on the occasion of our 20 years marriage. P&W proposed us an excellent program. First a few days of relaxing at Zanzibar, then the known safaris at Tanzania and finally a few more days of enjoy at Zanzibar. Due to Covid-19, we had to delay this trip twice. P&W was very flexible and rebooked the trip for 2021, and rebooked again for 2022, every time with the same professionality and friendliness. So finally, we started our trip the 12the of july 2022 with my family of 7 persons (5 children between 17 and 21, my husband and I). We had the time of our life! We arrived at Zanzibar in Reef and Beach Resort and were welcomed by Petra. A beautiful residence in the ocean view bungalows, well maintained with a nice pool. We enjoyed a snorkelingtrip, the spicetour and visited the villages with scooters. Also the spa is to recommend! Thereafter we flew to Arusha and stayed in our first tent camp at Lake Manyara. We were amazed by the size and equipment of those lodges. The manager, Michael, is very friendly and thoughtful, nice man. This basecamp is well equipped with a pool and bar, table tennis, billiards, spa, ... The restaurant, with view on Lake Manyara is very beautiful and serves very nice food (especially breakfast, mmm). Here we met our driver, Justin, who will be our guide for the next five days. In the typical Toyota Jeep we experienced 4 complete safaris at Tanguire NP, Lake Manyara NP, Ngorogor NP and Serengeti NP. And yes, we spotted the big 5!!! :-) Justin learned us a lot about the fauna and flora of Tanzania, he also learned us Swahili: Jambo! It was a perfect match. In the meantime we moved to an other basecamp in the Serengeti, at Ikoma. There, Alex, a very calm and skilled manager, received us after an exhausting safari trip, the lodges there were even more beautiful. The location, in the middle of the Serengeti, was overwhelming! The equipment of the camp was more basic (but sufficient), but we didn't expect more in the middel of this magnificent 'nowhere'. The staff was amazing. On the birthday of my husband they provided a birthday cake and surprised us with the Jambosong (and dance) with the whole staff, including Alex. Finally we flew from the Serengeti straight to Zanzibar to enjoy the island and his beauty. This time we stayed at Paradise Beach Resort, nice place, very green and wide. Séléna is the best guest relation manager, we could ask her anything, very helpful. We relaxed at the beach, near the pool, at the bar (excellent cocktails) and enjoyed the warm weather. In the meantime the children were amused by the animation team: wateraerobics, waterpolo, beachvolleybal, beach parties, ... At the restaurant, a very large range of dishes at the buffet: meat, fish, vegetables (cold/warm), fruit, desserts, life cooking (morning, noon, evening), for everyone his favourite meal.
In short, we had an unforgettable holiday. We're glad we booked the trip with this professional tour operator. Melanie, headquarter, is an excellent hostess, who cared for us and outlined this trip from a to z for us. Thank you very much! Our batteries are reloaded!

Everything well arranged. Customize your trip. The logical route has been well thought out.
Travel is well arranged. Compared to other providers, the price-quality ratio is excellent. A private trip offers more possibilities to discuss the daily schedule with the driver. Overnight stays were very good. We slept in accommodations of Paradise and Wilderness itself. Staff super friendly and thoughtful. No problem to arrange breakfast for early departures. We look back on a very special holiday with very beautiful experiences and special memories. Our advice: Book an unforgettable holiday at Paradise and Wilderness.

amazing, unforgettable, wonderful
We booked a 6-day drive & fly back safari Serengti.
Everything we received during these days was absolutely excellent.
We were very surprised about the tented camps, they were very clean, and for tents very luxurious in our eyes. The staff very friendly, accommodating and helpful.
For us it was the best trip we ever had! Many thanks to Patrick (driver), Prosper, our German guide and Lisa from the Paradise & Wilderness office. We can more than recommend Paradise & Wilderness. Price & performance are excellent.

A fantastic experience!
The trip we booked turned out to be an amazing experience that we will never forget. Everything was perfectly arranged and the tented camp was so beautiful and the food was very tasty. The Serengeti is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Many thanks to Anouk Arts from Paradise & Wilderness who prepared the whole trip for us perfectly. Also many thanks to our driver Benson Isack Kamoga who was able to tell us a lot about the animals and wildlife. Highly recommended for anyone going to the Serengeti to book this driver. The price ratio is very good. We got more than we expected. Good price for a lot of beautiful things and everything very well arranged. We will definitely book again at Paradise & Wilderness! Thank you for this wonderful experience!

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.

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.

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!

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.
