Well organised
We did a 5 day tour. Selous and Mikumi
We stayed at Ngalawa camp wich was simple but everything was there what we needed. Because of our guide rajabu we saw more animals than we expected.
Mikumi was more open and the animals were easier to see. We have great pictures of a pride of lions.
Massai Village was a great experience too.
Thank you very mu h. We had a wonderfull time in Tanzania

Good service and great trip!
There would be a lot of positive things to say... We did the three day/two nights trip with the boat ride, day with our car and the the morning walk with Didi (which was not quite what we expected but...well I do not tell you more :-) ). The combination was very good and gave us lots of time to observe the nature as well as Tansania overall. Also the service was good and the people we worked with during the trip absolutely fabulous!
The only setbacks I recall were that the pool was out of operation (so what, we had a shower) and we did not see big cats or rhino. Then again, in one day you see what you are bound to see and the rest you see next time, or the one after that.
On the other hand the three of us DID see 11 elephants walking together on the other side of the river, loads or hippos and crocodiles all over the park from boat and car, the magnificent weawing bird nests which - for some curious reason - were the highlight of our two weeks in Tansania for my wife, and so on and so on. And seeing the sunset off the boat in the middle of the river was quite something. Not to mention the elephants that we could then see from the camp while having dinner...
If you are looking for accommodation suitable for resort in Florida, always need A/C in the vehicles you ride and want to select your food from a 8-page menu do not take this trip. If you want to have a trip which is something you see in the movies and makes you feel like you are part of it, take this trip.

Donatus was very available and accommodating to make our stay as good as possible.
James our driver was really nice, and attentive to our desires, and was very available to help us solve a problem (loss of suitcases at the airport).
Anthony was an excellent French translator for the Mikumi region, an incredible encounter that marked our stay and did everything to make our trip unforgettable!!
The safari was perfect for allowing us to see as many things as possible (we added a day in the Udzungwa mountain).
Donatus, the manager was very available and responsive before the stay but also during and on our return, it's really nice!
Thank you for everything, it was an amazing stay!!

Absolutely amazing
We did the three days Selous Game Reserve Safari and it was amazing. Our guide William was the best. Safe driver, interesting conversations, very helpful and answered all of our questions. During the safari he made sure that we see as many animals as possible - great spotter. Besides pumba, giraffes, monkeys, impalas, buffalo, gnus and zebras, we even saw lions with their cubs.
The camp was very nice and relaxing, with even a pool. And lots of crazy & cute monkeys running around. Food was good and the portions were insanely huge. You won’t starve ;).
We had a really nice guide for the boat safari who gave us a lot of information about the many animals and how they live. The walking safari was also a very interesting experience because of Didi, the bush man who was quite the character.
Overall amazing experience. We really really highly recommend it

Great experience
We took 2 days safari to Mikumi. They picked us at the airport DAS, and it was really easy to arrange as communication went smoothly. We started a trip to Mikumi park around 5am and were there around 2pm. A long trip, but nice experience to see the local villages all the way on the road to Mikumi.
Accommodation and food in the park are very decent. We had one afternoon tour on the first day in the park, one next they early in the morning, and there was possibility for another one after breakfast but we skipped that one. Our driver, Raj was very nice, and helpful. He knew all the information about the park and animals. Amazing experience for sure.
The only thing which was not communicated well with us from the beginning was a travel time from airport to park and back. It was told 5h but actually it is around 8h so plan good the trip, we almost missed last ferry for Zanzibar.
