Amazing experience
The 3-Day 2-Night Mikumi and Udzungwa trekking was a great experience I would recommend to anyone to book.
We were picked up in the morning of the first day by our excellent driver/guide William, and drove to Mikumi national park. We had time to go on a short game drive in the evening. We opted to sleep inside the park on the first night so we could get extra time in on the second day for the game drive. No complaints on the rooms in the park, they were more than adequate for what we needed and the food was great.
On the second day we went on the second game drive, where William worked hard to ensure we saw all the animals we wanted to see. In the afternoon, we went to Camp Bastian to rest before the trek the next day. The camping option was ok, but at the time of year we went it was particularly hot at night which can make sleeping difficult. The food here was also excellent and there's a pool.
On the final day, we set off early for the trek in Udzungwa to the Sanje Waterfall. It's not too strenuous, and a beautiful sight. Be sure to pack a swimming costume and towel so you can swim here! There are changing rooms available at the waterfall.
The only thing I think could be improved is the communication with pick up time, as we had been given a different time to the driver which caused some confusion.
I'd like to thank William again for making the trip extra special, he really does go above and beyond to make it one to remember!

Everyone is friendly and helpful.
I had an amazing experience. First of all i want to make special wishes to our driver William, who helped us in so many different ways. He helped us to get fresh and EXTRA CHEAP fruits. He took us water and passion fruit just to try while we drove and make sure we feel comfortable. Such a lovely guy!
He was friendly and answered all the questions we had. And he spoke English very well. Honestly - if you can promote him somehow, do so please!
In accomodation place, people were also very friendly and helpful. I am gluten and dairy free and they didn’t mind it all. They did the food differently with no problem - so thankful for that.
The place is in the wild nature which was very different and satisfying. We even saw Elephants in there.
Really reccomend, totally worth it it’s money.

EXTRA!!!
I will never forget the safari in Tanzania. Guide William was friendly, polite and the best of all.
Mikumi National Park is one of the most beautiful and has one of the most beautiful scenes of nature and many animals in it. With a guide you will visit the national park and see animals that look beautiful. I can't say anything bad about the safari, all praises.

absolutely perfect I recommend without hesitation
I recommend without hesitation! We were two young women just landed in Dar Es Salaam, the reservation was made from France without advance money, and Zacharria (our guide during the entire stay) directly picked us up at our hotel. We were only two for this trip which was a great comfort! After a few hours we arrived in the Mikumi reserve for a first afternoon safari! We have seen many wild animals (elephants, lions, gazelles, giraffes, zebras ...) unforgettable experience. We stayed in an absolutely superb camp with pool and bar, quality all-you-can-eat buffet for all meals. The next day great day with Zacharia that I highly recommend, lunch we had lunch in a small discreet restaurant in the middle of wild animals who came to bathe and drink at the edge of the water nearby, change of scenery guaranteed! We did not speak English very well, but our guide did everything to explain us about animals so we could understand everything! The last day was also very good although we asked to return earlier to Dar Es Salam so we could take our boat directly to Zanzibar. Zacharia took care of booking the boat tickets and deposited us in front of the controls so that we are protected from the fake agents present on the spot. Fortunately Zach was there for us, he helped us a lot! I hope I can come back one day to do Selou Park with this agency! Thank you for everything sincerely.

Amazing, gorgeous and unique.
This company is beyond amazing !!
We traveled for 17 days in Tanzania .
We were 6 people- 4 adults and 2 young adults (19,17)
We built our trip plan with the help of the company’s manager Donates, and he helped us building the perfect plan according to our requests.
The trip went exactly as planned!
Got to see the most incredible things with the help of Julius our amazing guide driver who was so nice so professional and willing to answer any type of questions any time. He made sure our trip is extraordinarily and everything is going the way we wish.
The accommodations that the company placed us at were a perfect fit, and we were really satisfied by that.
Moreover the food at the lodges restaurants was good.
I enjoyed our safari trip so much and we were just happy to got to do it via this GREAT company.
I recommend this company for all of you guys because we were so pleased

Our tour for 25 days around Tanzania was the result of very good cooperation during almost one year!
Communication between very differently thinking people can be difficult, but also very giving - hopefully to both parties? "Dating" this way about new travelling experiences is like a lottery, and this time we won!
The cooperation and playing "ping pong" in the planning phase with Selous Ngalawa Camp fully lived up to our expectations - and more! We really feel that we got "value for money", and in addition to that we had the pleasure of meeting very kind and helpful people from the company and their cooperating partners!
We will never be afraid of trying this way of planning and travelling again, and the days in Tanzania gave us SO many exciting and new impres-sions and experiences that it fully covers for the tiny points of "dissatisfaction" (which we have long forgotten!!) We will remember this tour for the rest of our lives ......
Excellent Safari experience of our lifetime
I was in a 10 Days tour in Tanzania with my friend Kate Huber. Mr Donatus organized excellently every tip for us . We had a 5 Days tour to Mount Kilimanjaro through Marangu Route. This was our dream and we really enjoyed to the maximum. The Guide,the Cook and Laggage Helpers were very very friendly. Mount Kilimanjaro is beautiful through this Company. Our safari to Mikumi and Boat trip in Selous were amazingly a dream comes true. Lastly we had a short beach Experience in Zansibar. "What a Paradise on earth!". We thank very much this Company and all the workers and we really recommend people to travel with them because you will never regret.

Selous Ngalawa Camp; Fantastic Safari experience of our life
Our Safari Guide Leonard was extremely increadible. Full of knowlege,with an eagle eye for spotting animals, including all the four of the Big Five that they have in Mikumi N.P.The Park is gorgeous andstaying in the Lodge just in the Centre od everything was amazing. We woke up to the three Elephants hanging out about 5 feet away from our room and could hear the lions roaring at night. They set up a fire pitfor us and we had a great time talking to some of the Staff. It was a really a FIVE STAR safari. In a very special case, we congratulate Mr. Donatus for organizing this for us.We will not hesistate to recommend Ngalawa Safari Camp to ourfriends and anyone interested with safari ni Mikumi Park in Tanzania.

Everything is excellent
We did a 2-day safari in Mikumi Park. Our driver was Rajab and he was a delight. He tried in every way to make sure we saw as many animals as possible and the ones we liked the most. He definitely exceeded our expectations. He was also lovely to us.
The hotel we stayed in next to the park was great and the staff was wonderful.
All the staff at the safari were very attentive to us, picking us up and taking us to all the places in the car so we could enjoy the safari in the best way.
I would definitely do it again and I recommend it 100%.

Amazing
We stayed 3 days, the houses are wonderful, in the morning you wake up with monkeys right outside the house. The organization of the days was excellent, the food from breakfast to dinner is really good.
We really thank everyone, thanks to all the staff, thanks to our guide Apollo.
You are perfect!
