A good trip... but I did not see many animals in the safari
3/5

The communication with the company has always been very fast and kind and they provided me with all the information I asked for.
The car trip to Mikumi from Dar, even if it was long, was very good as the driver was very helpful and he drove very safely.
I went for the safari on the first days of July to Mikumi and there were almost no animals, so the safari itself was not very productive.
The lodge where I spent the night, Camp Bastian, was really good as the chalet was big, very clean and confortable. Also the staff were very friendly and the food really good.

Unforgettable experience
5/5

I myself used the tour to Mikumi National Park (2 days), and had an amazing experience to see wildlife that I wanted to see for a long time. I received a response very immediately after I requested. The entire process was pretty smooth. The guide also had great knowledge about animals. Most importantly, I learned about the wildlife a lot, which increased my interests in them.

Good value day trip
4/5

I booked a day trip to Mikumi national park, where the car departed very early in the morning. It was of good value as it included everything: transport, park fees, lunch, snacks and guide. The driver was good and fun. Overall had a good experience, got to see most of the animals and big five in the park even though lions were hard to spot. The guide didn't speak English very well, so most of the time it was left to our guessing what was going on. One suggestion is that the guide should be more professional and can communicate better.

Above and beyond expectations!
5/5

Mwajabu was so helpful in planning this surprise safari trip for my husband during our honeymoon! She is absolutely the BEST! She is so sweet, well organized and goes out of her way to make sure your experience is unforgettable. True five star service.
We were staying in Zanzibar for our honeymoon, and Abdul picked us up from our hotel and took us to the airport. The night before I realized I forgot to pack the SD card for my GoPro camera. Knowing that it was Ramadan, and the only shops that sell these kinds of tourist goods would be closed I was sure we were out of luck. In hopes of a miracle, I messaged Mwajabu who had Abdul running around Stonetown to find a particular SD card after sundown when everything was closed. Abdul somehow found someone to open their shop to sell him an SD card for our trip the next morning. Above and beyond!!!
After taking a small plane from Zanzibar to Dar Es Salaam then to Selous, we arrived at Lake Manze camp. We went on 3 game drives in our short 36 hour trip to Selous. Our guide Kalisti and driver Mgoma were so knowledgeable and showed us tons of animals including African elephants, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, buffalo, zebras, hyenas, as well as several species of birds and so many other amazing animals I couldn't list in this short review. The food at Lake Manze was also incredible. The staff was great, the tents were not just tents, they had a shower, vanity with sink and flushing toilet. True glamping!
In all, the experience was one that we will never forget, and hope to return with the help of Mwajabu and her staff again in the future.

I felt like part of their family.
5/5

Mwajabu runs a company built on constant communication, care, and incredible experiences. Even before I arrived in Tanzania Mwajabu would check in on me every once in a while to confirm my trip and continually make sure I was going to get the experience I wanted. She was able to cater my week long trip to exactly my needs, even being a solo traveler which is extremely difficult to find a company who will host you. Once I arrived the cafe was kicked up even more, I was picked up from the airport by her brother Athman, who was my driver throughout my time in continental Tanzania. I was taken to my hotel the first night as my safari started the following morning. Then at 4 am Athman picked me up and we began our journey to Mikumi National Park. Athman ended up being less of a driver and ultimately a friend I could joke with and laugh with, even given his limited English. At Mikumi, I was introduced to my guide Gilbert, who was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and the area. Again, we interacted more as friends than someone who was being paid to show me around. Before my time in Africa, I got extremely sick in Greece and brought that bug with me o my Safari, during the second day it got extremely bad and I was unable to go on our planned hike to Udzwunga. I messaged Mwajabu and let her know of my issue in which she immediately began to try and help me get better. In about 5 minutes Athman and Gilbert were at my camp ready to take me to the pharmacy to get the mess I needed. Gilbert helped me with translation at the pharmacy and even in rural Africa I was able to get what I needed. I felt like part of their family and really truly cared for. In no time I was feeling better and we went on the incredible hike in Udzwunga where I saw amazing foliage and wildlife while completing an impressive hike to the top of a waterfall. The damp I stayed at, Bastian, was amazing. Every meal was catered around my schedule and time and when I was sick I constantly was being checked on by staff.
After my time in Mikumi, Athman drove me back to Dar airport where I boarded an incredible 20 min flight to Zanzibar. Again, Mwajabu had a driver lined up for me, Abdul, who got me to my beach resort very quickly. The resort was beautiful and I was given the opportunity from Mwajabu to go on both the Stone Town Tour and the spice tour. When it was time for me to go 7 days after my arrival, I was sad to go as I had been taken care of so perfectly. Mwajabu even had arrangements for me to connect from the domestic terminal to the international terminal in DAR. I would tecxomoned Mwajabu and Hello Tanzania 10 out of 10 times, it was beyond was I expected and I got way more than my money's worth. Thank You Mwajabu, Athman, Gilbert, and Abdul for and amazing expertise. Hopefully I will be back soon!!!

Lovely trip to Mikuni and Udzungwa
4/5

Mwajbu was wonderful to deal with. Provided great support and even organised flights to Zanzibar. The process of booking and logistics was very easy. Really enjoyed Mikuni National Park and Camp Bastian. Opted for a one hike in Udzungwa Mountains and it was just spectacular. Our driver was very helpful and the guide in Udzungwa was fantastic.

Fun and experience never-before
5/5

I traveled through Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti in 4 days. Very excited to be within 20 meters of not-so-easy-to-find cheetah after driver-guide's one hour effort.
