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

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).

Fantastic 3 days safari in Selous
Me and my family had an excellent communication with this company before deciding to go on safari. This clear communication was key for us to secure the expectation alignment on forehand. We had a detailed description of all 3 days: First day, river boat safari, second full day of private game drive and third day walking safari with a bushman.
The trip fullfilled all our expectations.
We saw a lot of animals, and our driver, William, made sure our safari trip already started from Dar Es Salaam and ended here, spiced up with all his knowledge about Tanzania. The villages and the landscape driving to the nationalpark was spectacular.
Ngalawa camp is basic, but beautiful, as we had hoped. Clean tents with toilet and shower. The camp will soon be equipped with a swimmingpool, but this was not ready yet.
Food was local and delicious, “far better than what what we expected” - qoute by our kids, 17 and 8 years old.
We will recommend this tour to everyone.

Gombe is well worth a visit
Gombe far exceeded our expectations. The guesthouse was lovely, the chimps were amazing & we had astonishingly good viewings. The guide, Iddi & tracker, Fidel were superb. The cook, Amos, was wonderful & his delicious meals were much better than expected. The boat journey was good, as was the visit to Ujiji. The night at Kigoma Hilltop resort was first class, as was their food.
Everything worked like clockwork. Our communication with the company was good, although we did have to do a lot of contacting ourselves.
The price was very reasonable too.
Just be awRe that you do not have a guide with you all the time & you are passed from driver to boat man etc. This is NOT a problem, but it could make some people nervous.
All in all, highly recommended.

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 ......

Very well organized!
We were a very large group of 37 people. We all agreed it was an amazing experience! It was so well organized. Everything from the planning before the trip and the trip itself was flawless. Everyone was super helpful and we got all changes we wanted.

Exceptional 3 days in Mikumi
My friends and I had an incredible experience doing our first Safari! It encompassed all our needs our it went beyond our expectations. The Bastian Camp accomodation was very nice and peaceful. The food served was amazing and tasteful and the service provided was exceptional.
We felt very safe with our operator and he always made sure that we had the best experience ever. He did a huge effort to ensure that we saw all the animals and we had the chance to see a wild dog! (Apparently very hard to see).
All were outstanding!
Asante :)

Experience we will never forget
We took 3 day Selous safari with boat ride, park visit 4x4 and walking safari on last day. Mr. Donatus expained everything about safari trip via mail and he replied imediatelly on all my questions. It was first safari for us.
They pick up us in hotel in Dar on time at 7.30.
Wiliam, our guide, is a person with a lot of knowledge about park and history of TZ. We saw a lot of animals and it was a life experience.
Camp is basic, but beautifull. Tents with toilet and shower.
Food was delicious, better than we expected.
I reccomend this tour to everyone.
