Amazing safari
It has been a great safari. They adhered to what we had asked for, with a fairly tight price and the professionalism of Daniel, the guide, was 10 out of 10. Great accommodations, and the program was exactly what we had been proposed. It was a success to hire him with them.

Well exeeded expectations
We were very pleased with our Safari in Mikumi National Park. Our guide was very helpful and generous the entire trip, and guided us to a lot of different animals. Definitely recommend the 3-day safari, as we felt like we got a lot of value for the price we paid.

Unforgettable experience, well arranged, sometimes exceeded our expectations.
We have traveled as a group of 12 people for 17 days including Tanzania and Zanzibar. The planning stage was long and we had a good communication with Mr. Donatus by emails. Excluding some minor incidents, the whole trip was great and came along with our expectations and sometimes even exceeded them. The suggested travel plan and the suggested lodges were good. We decided to make a few upgrades for the original plan which apparently was a good idea. The biggest advantage of these guys is their flexibility and their willingness to help you to customize the trip according to your needs and requests (this is something which other companies do not like to do). Special thanks to our drivers and guides for their patience and the great job they did to show us the nature and the culture of Tanzania.
Some tips:
1. At the planning stage check exactly all the details, what is included and what is not up to lowest resolution (a lunch on a specific date, airport transfer times etc.) in order to avoid any misunderstandings and any inconvenience.
2. In Zanzibar choose a hotel with a pool, that will be a great advantage.
3. Be prepared that some drives will take longer than expected due to the weather and the road conditions.
4. Enjoy

Bush feeling in Sadaani park
We did a 3- Day Safari to Saadani Park with Selous Ngalawa Camp starting from Daressalaam.
The booking was really easy, Donatus was quick to respond to our questions, but the organization of the tour was a little bit chaotic. In the end we didn't mind because everything was very good.
In Saadani Park there are not as many animals as in other parks. For antilopes it was very good though, we even saw a duicker. And we enjoyed the beautiful nature. The beach is really wonderful!
Our driver Msese was very nice, he is a good and experienced driver and knows the Saadani Park and its animals very well.
On the last day we asked to make a stop over in Bagamoyo. This was no problem for him, so we had the chance to visit the very interesting historic german fort.
The highlight of our tour was the camp where we stayed. It was newly opened, just outside the park and the owner Alan and his friend Richard made everything to make us feel welcome there. The food was delicious and we especially appreciated the toilet in the tent. Alan took us on a boat trip on a river with los of hippos and he even made a spontaneous walking safari with us. The Camp is situated nicely in bushland, so we felt close to nature there.
All in all, we recommend the safari to anyone who wants to enjoy some real
bush feeling not too far from Dar es salaam (around 3 hours drive).

William our Guide and Driver gave us an exceptional Safari in Mid Tanzania
From October 20th to 26th, we traveled through Tanzania with the primary goal of enjoying game viewing in Ruaha National Park, Mikumi National Park, and Nyerere National Park. William was our guide, driver, and personal assistant throughout the trip, available to us 24/7.
First and foremost, William is an exceptional wildlife spotter with extensive knowledge of animal behavior. Thanks to him, we were able to see a wide variety of animals and birds. Additionally, he proved to be a skilled and safe driver who was not only attentive to road safety but also highly knowledgeable about the workings of the Toyota Land Cruiser, quickly detecting and resolving any mechanical issues.
Beyond his duties in the parks, William enriched our experience by showing us some wonderful local spots to eat and buy fresh fruit. At all times, we felt safe both inside and outside the vehicle. His professionalism, expertise, and care turned our safari into an unforgettable experience.

Amazing experience!
I went with my friend and it was a great experience. We got picked up in Dar Es Salaam and drove to the camp. When we arrived it was time for lunch and immediatly after that our adventure began with a boat safari. The next day we went on a game drive which was the best thing on our stay there. We saw lots of animals in the stunning enviornment with a great tour guide named William. When we had a question about the nature or animals he always had answers and explanations for everything and also told us some very interesting and fascinating facts. The last day we went on a walking safari which was very interesting. We walked of into the Nyerere jungle with a guide who told us about the nature and animals living there. Overall a great experience and a big thank you to our amazing guide William!

Surprisingly amazing experience
Our tour guide was Rajabu. :) All good words toward him!
He is brilliant guide, smart and his knowlegde about nature and animals was super! He let us feel comfortable and we felt free to ask questions.
We didn't know much about Tanzanian life and he talked and introduced much about traffic, Tanzanian nation etc.
He was really calm in this super suicidal fraffic, never got nervous about other terrible drivers (bus drives).
He also cared about our food and was very polite in every communication - also with local people.
Food was good and accomondation was modest, but better than in tent :)
We saw a mamy different animals, more than we ever expected. Rajabu told us lot of storys about every animal.
Communication with tour operator (Donatus) was fast and fluent.
It was worth that money!
Totally recommended!
