Terrible Safari Partners Tanzania
Safari Partners is a third party booking agent. This means they will find other Company that will take booking. NO STANDARD and Less Service!
Our booking agent was Edward who was impossible to contact when we had a problem and did not do a proper job with booking causing a lot of stress on our Safari.
The 1) Safari vehicle used was not up to Healthy standards. After spending 12 hours traveling to and from Serengeti National Park, the vehicle was plagued by Dust and Dirt due to faulty windows, doors and no air conditioning which could help filter the air.
This resulted in an unhealthy air quality inside the vehicle, especially for senior citizens.
2) Moreover, communication with Edward became inadequate after he received payment for the Safari.
He also 3) failed to book the correct number of rooms for the duration of our Safari, leaving one night unbooked.
Edward also 4) Did not book our flight to Zanzibar correctly causing us to spend night in Dar es Salaam in a very very cheap and dirty Hotel. After we paid for Zanzibar Hotel and missing the first night in Tembo Hotel Zanzibar.
Edward also 5) promised a city tour of Arusha though the driver showed up an 75 minutes late allowing no time for City Excursion.
Edward should know his contract helper. Edward did not take responsible to his clients!
6) Safari Vehicle had many problems: windows and doors will not shut properly leaking in dust and dirt, loud noise after starting engine, seat belt and safety bar did not work properly, and finally Vehicle Broke Down.
In my life experiences, words are Cheap and often used by individuals with Questionable motives to shift blame. Edward did not offer any refund, just a bunch of red excuses and misleading statements blaming others.
My recommendation is to find another company to plan your Safari! Don't use Edward.

Hike in Uluguru mountains
Safari partners organized the most wonderful daytrip in the Uluguru mountains. The hike was a beautiful and colorful experience with the most wonderful views and landscapes and enabled us to take part of every day life of the people living in the mountains.
The guide Elton was, besides very friendly companion, a book of knowledge about plants, birds and crops we encountered on our way.
The hike itself was precisely long and tiring enough for me. In all, a perfect way of visiting this beautiful region and a must-do for every tourist visiting this area or even Tanzania.

3-day safari in Mikumi
Very good experience in Mikumi. Comfortable and safe accomodation, reasonably good food. Our guide, Santiago, was able to show us animals which are not easily seen, like a wonderful ghepard. He knew a lot about all animals and we always felt safe with him. Easy communication, good organisation.

An amazing experience with a friendly staff, who do their very best to please their guests!
We had the chance my wife and myself to go on a Safari tour in June 2019, but haven’t book anything till last moment (which I don’t advise to do as you might not find anything in high season). Thankfully the Hotel owner knew Safari Partner manager who booked us a Safari for the next day. Frédérique picked us up 5:30am as agreed from our hotel and we went to Mikumi park.
We spent the whole day there and enjoyed every moment of the trip, nature chose what it shows from its beauty and that day we saw plenty of it ! We were like kids swing all these beautiful creatures in their natural environment. we also enjoyed Safari Partner Fred and Moussa who accompanied us that day were very friendly and literally went that extra mile to make sure you get a great experience, plus you could feel Fred is passionate about his work and the wildlife. He is very knowledgeable and explained is so many things about the extraordinary variety of species we have contemplated. The managed everything, from the entrance admin process, breakfast and lunch breaks, and to us back to the hotel. They do not rush you when you want to spend some times here and there, or take photos, it felt like was was doing a safari with a bunch of friends.
If you want to book your safari with peace of mind I strongly recommend them !

Great Experience of a Lifetime
I had a quick trip scheduled to Tanzania, and my group of 3 was able to book a tour with Safaris Partners
The bookings went flawlessly from start to finish. Ndakie made special arrangements to suit our schedule and requests for a night safari as well as morning safari. Maxmian the driver/guide drove our truck himself and was extremely knowledgeable about the types of plants and animals along the drive and within the park. He was very friendly and welcoming and was a wealth of knowledge about Mikumi National Park and Tanzanian culture in general. The entire experience with food and lodging included was well worth the price he offered, and I highly recommend booking through Safaris Partners they are very friendly and they offer good services with best price

Amazingly beautiful safari in Ruaha
We booked a trip to Ruaha National Park with Ndaki and Maximilian as our guides in August, and the experience couldn't have been better!
Already the drive from Morogoro to Ruaha was beautiful as we passed through Mikumi National Park and already saw some animals there, and also the different landscapes when getting closer to Iringa are gorgeous. The car was very comfortable and spacious, has a mini-cooler with drinks WIFI (only when close to towns), but most importantly, Maximilian is a really good and safe driver, which isn't always easy to find in Tanzania ;-) The safari itself was of course even better, and thanks to Ndaki and Maximillian’s patience and great knowledge of the beautiful National Park we saw lots of animals including elephants, giraffes, zebras, warthogs, lots of birds, hippos, jackals, hyenas and even lions and the rare cheetahs from an incredible close distance - we were only about 5 meters away from the cheetahs and maybe 3 meters next to two female lions during their afternoon nap! Maximilian could tell us lots of stories about each of the animals and really knows the park and its flora and fauna like his own back yard. Additionally, both guides are really fun and open-minded people and so we also had a great time on a personal level. As Ndaki knows a lot about the whole country and its culture he also gave us really great tips and recommendations for the rest of our trip.
As our budget was quite low, they got us a really good deal at a hotel in the middle of the park. The rooms were basic but very clean, the food really tasty and when we woke up from the noise of hyenas hunting down a warthog and lions roaring nearby, we really knew we were on safari!
All in all, the three days in Ruaha with Safaris Partners were probably the best of our trip and we can highly recommend a tour with them! I would stay longer than three days though if you come from Morogoro as the drive takes up quite some time and we at least wished we could stay a day or two more.

Very reliable and everything is very well organized, it was a fun day .
I made a really great safari in Mikumi National Park with Ndaki. Everything fit perfectly from the beginning. I made the booking spontaneously that was no problem.
He picked me / us in a good mood, punctually at six o'clock.
Transfer to the park takes about 1.5 hours. Already on the way to the park entrance we could observe animals. In the park itself, there were more animals to watch. Had more time I would have made the two day safari that would have been worthwhile in any case. It was a cool day! Would definitely do it again.
The great thing was that Ndaki also offered shuttle services from Morogor to Dar (80 doller) and was able to deliver me punctually at the airport the next day. Very reliable and everything is very well organized.
Hiking in Morogoro
Spent a long weekend in Morogoro with a few friends to go hiking in the Uluguru Mountains. Edward (Ndakie) took care of all the planning -- transportation, lodging, hiking guide, etc. We told Edward our budget and he arranged accommodations accordingly. The hotel where we stayed (Hotel Oasis) had delicious dinner and free breakfast. It was so nice to not have to worry about logistics! Our hiking guide was fun and helpful as well. On the first day we hiked to Morningside, and on the second day we hiked to a gorgeous waterfall where we stopped for a refreshing swim. Edward was extremely helpful arranging private transportation back to Dar es Salaam when one of our group was feeling ill. Highly recommend using Safari Partners if taking a hiking trip to Morogoro.
