Amazing Experience Provided by an Amazing Company
A group of 6 of us booked through Wild Minds Travel to go on a Safarii and Zanibar vacation. We left all the planning up to them and they absolutely did not disappoint and gave us a trip of a lifetime. Every aspect of this vacation was organized to perfection and I could not be happier with the total experience. The transport was always on time and comfortable...the hotels/lodges were safe, clean, beautiful and fun....food was top notch and the guide for the safarii (Cornell) went above and beyond for us throughout. We never had to worry about anything ever! We saw more animals and culture then we could have ever dreamed of seeing and then ended with an unbelievable stay at a Zanzibar beach resort. It would take me years to write out all the amazing aspects of this vacation so instead I will just recommend that everyone see this beautiful part of the world themselves...and if looking for someone to ensure that it is one of the best experiences of your life then contact Wild Minds Travel Company. You wont be disappointed!

Trip Of A Lifetime
This trip has been on my bucket list for many years and it did not disappoint. It's hard to explain the beauty and grandeur of this trip. I thought we would be seeing the animals with binoculars and never once thought we would be pulling up right beside lions and every other type of African animal you can imagine. The proximity to the animals was breathtaking and yet I never once felt uncomfortable or unsafe. Our tour guide Cornell was simply the best! This trip had it all, not only did we do a safari, we also visited historic Stonetown and then had a relaxing beach getaway on the island of Zanzibar. A big thank you to Justin Wollin (Wild Mind Travel) for setting everything up and tailoring this experience to be everything I could have ever asked for.

UNFORGETTABLE BUCKET LIST EXPERIENCE
This is a bucket list trip you NEED to take. It is hard to explain how memorable and amazing our two week trip to Tanzania was with Wild Mind Travel. Before taking the trip, I had heard how unforgettable African Safari's could be, but this trip surpassed all my expectations. It truly was an adventure of a lifetime.
We began our trip by taking a five day safari through three national parks and ended it splitting time between historical Stone Town and the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar. I highly recommend doing the combo safari/beach package... SO worth every penny.
The five day safari was literally the most unreal experience of my life. I knew we were going to see many animals, but I never could've imagined how many animals we actually saw. Literally at every turn we saw another animal, it was unbelievable. We even saw countless baby animals too... just adorable! Our guide, Amos, was extremely knowledgable and brought so much positivity and energy every day to the safari. You could just tell he loved his job as he was so passionate about the animals, had a wealth of knowledge and he genuinely wanted to make the experience unforgettable for us. He truly made the safari next level, he was amazing. Our stay every night was always taken care of for us ahead of time and was just as unforgettable as our day. We literally slept inside the Serengeti and next to the Ngorongoro Crater with zebras and elephants casually passing by our tents. Waking up to the sunrise in the middle of one of the most beautiful, untouched places in the world was truly magical. Nothing will ever compare to these moments in my life.
Even though I never wanted to leave the National Parks and all the animals, it was the best feeling to know we were going to spend the next week in Stone Town and on the beaches of Zanzibar. I loved spending time in Stone Town. It was an extremely beautiful town, with so much history and the local food was delicious. It was a perfect contrast to our last five days we spent on the gorgeous beach in Zanzibar. Kendra Rocks Beach Resort was the best place to wind down, enjoy the beauty of the beach and eat amazing food (oh & of course, have a few tasty beverages).
This trip was truly an experience of a lifetime and one I will remember forever. Wild Mind Travel was so amazing to deal with, the trip was perfect and Justin made sure we were always taken care of. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Book with Wild Mind Travel, you won't be disappointed.

The best of both Worlds!
The best two week trip I've ever taken. Wild Mind Travel exceeded all expectations, went above and beyond. Justin was great to deal with from start to finish. From airport pickup to drop off everything was organized and detailed. It was nice to not have to worry about an itinerary and just enjoy the experiences. Wild Mind had a state of the art Safari Jeep along with high end camping gear. Cant forget to mention our knowledgeable tour guide Amos who made the whole experience that much better.
The unforgettable safari experiences started in the Tarangire National Park then onto the Serengeti and ended in the Ngorongoro Crater. Breath taking sights and views followed one after another. The amount of wild life we saw was almost unimaginable.
Following the Safari it was off to Zanzibar where we spent two amazing nights in Stone Town taking in all of its history and local cuisine.
Following Stone Town it was time to hit the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar where we put our feet in the sand and enjoyed luxury villa resort life for four nights.
It was definitely a trip of a lifetime and a trip that should be on everyone's bucket list.
I cant wait to go back!

Trip of a Lifetime!
This was truly the trip of a lifetime and I would encourage anyone and everyone to book now, and to absolutely book with Wild Mind Travel! Whether it was driving through Tarangire National Park watching animals drink from the watering hole, “glamping” in the Serengeti with lions singing while we tried to sleep (which led to many many fits of giggles), or brushing our teeth atop the Ngorongoro Crater with zebras 4 feet away this trip exceeded any possibly expectations I may have had. The trip was so well planned out (entirely thanks to Wild Mind travel’s knowledge and professionalism) and our guide Amos could not have been better - He made the trip exciting, educational and unimaginably fun all at the same time.
After the safari, I would also highly recommend heading to Zanzibar as Wild Mind suggests. It was, as they said it would be, the perfect way to cap off the trip. We spent time in Zanzibar city which was incredibly beautiful and full of history and then headed to the beach to relax on some of the most breathtaking beaches.
I would give this a million stars if I could!!

A dream trip
We spent an amazing 2 weeks In Tanzania thanks to everyone at Wild Mind Travel. Justin did a great job taking care of all the details of our 2 week trip. He was always quick to respond to our many many questions before the trip! Amos our guide was the best! His enthusiasm and knowledge of the parks and animals was incredible!!! We saw so many many animals and babies! Way more than we ever expected! Elephants, Zebras, pumbas, giraffes, leopards, hippos, lions and so so many more After the safari we spent 7 amazing days in Zanzibar. Justin organized 2 days in Stone Town and then our final days at resort on the beach. All our accommodations were amazing, from camping with the animals in the Serengeti, the edge of the Ngorongiro crater to the deluxe beachfront lodge The trip was a great combination of adventure and relaxation. Truly a trip we I'll never forget. Thank you Wild Mind Travel!

One of The Best African Safaris Ever!!!!
My wife and I had been thinking of doing an African Safari Tour for some time and after a lot of research eventually settled on Wild Mind (primarily because they're one of the only tour companies that actually operates directly out of Tanzania. I was a bit shocked to find out during my research that most other tour companies simply hire out local guides and vehicles and aren't necessarily based in whatever country you're looking at touring). While Wild Mind is a relatively young tour company and definitely aren't as large as some of their competitors, the service was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable, the safari tour vehicle was state of the art and the food was great. We were able to see some stunning views and get up close to the wildlife. Tanzania is absolutely amazing! I honestly can't recommend these guys enough. If you're looking for a great African safari experience, I'd go with Wild Mind.
