A dream Safari Afdventure with the best guides ever!
We had a wonderful time with Going Green Safari, Lenny the MD is a true chilled out legend and the perfect person to have by your side. Responsive and informative before we left, always quick to reply and flexible with the plan, although he really does know how to make the most of your 3 days at Mikumi so we are glad we took his advice on everything.
We saw so many animals on the first day, on the drive through the park to the hotel, and Lenny spotted many more in the wild that we would have missed, and stopped to let us photograph and enjoy the experience. Elephants, Giraffe, Antelope, Baboons, Zebra and all before we even got to our destination. Our evening with the Masai arranged by Lenny was superb. The singing and dancing and learning how they live in the remote village. Unmissable!
The hotel Babylon was basic but lovely and everyone was so friendly and accomodating, a perfect spot to sleep after long days in the sun. Meals in Camp Bastian were delicious and plentiful, and self service so you can take what you like from the big selection. Be as adventurous as you like - it was all well cooked and lovely.
The main reason for the trip was the full game day on Safari in Mikumi NP, and our driver Selle and guide Jeffeson could not have been better. Knowledable, friendly and went out of their way to make our day amazing. Way beyond expectations. We saw almost everything that could be seen - only the nocturnal and elusive leapord evaded us. Lions - in two groups - so close (almost too close but we felt safe at all times), Elephants throughout the day at the watering hole, and the guide knew how to catch them as they crossed the road for us. Buffalo, Warthogs (a favourite), many types of antelope and impala, Zebra, Wildebeast, Hippo, Crocodiles, and two huge python, so many birds that Jeffeson had details for them all in his book and his amazing mind! We saw a really rare African Owl, eagles, Vultures, so many songbirds, starlings, shrike and lapwings with amazing plummage. I could write an entire book on this day alone and I have the photos to illustrate it and an encylopedia too. Bring a good camera!
Do not hesitate - book your own adventure with Lenny and Going Green Safari today! You will not be disappointed. The value and price is amazing without comprimising on quality or taking any shortcuts.

We went with Lenard on a 3 day safari and had the absolute best time! He is polite, and accommodating and the campsite with lodges he arranges are extremely hospitable. Good price and overall great experience! Would highly recommend

Unforgettable experience!
We booked the safari directly with Going Green Safari Tours. From the beginning, communications were perfect and we received all the information we needed in advance (itinerary for every day with specific description of every day's activities, name and contact of our guide).
To our surprise, we did not have any delays whatsoever during the safari, which is, in my opinion, remarkable. The itinerary was carefully planned so we could make it in time to every activity (which is not always the case according to many reviews of other companies - we always read the reviews of several companies before doing any reservations).
The driver was awesome. He truly loves his work and cares deeply for Tansania's animals. He always took care of giving us the best experience, not to mention his knowledge of the game reserves we visited.
This is how you measure quality.
Deeply grateful!

Perfect in a special way
We have been in Dar in May. Although it was the end of the rainy season and therefore not the best time to go on safari we didn't wanna leave without seeing any animals.
We had booked the three days Selous safari tour. Lenard picked us up at our hotel in Kigamboni right in time. We bought some veggies, fruits and water on markets along the way (what was an experience by itself), had a lunchbreak with a delicious meal in Kibiti. The landscape is so beautiful, Lenard is such a good driver and entertainer, time passed so fast and the six hours tour was never boring.
At arrival in the Ngalawa Tented Camp we had a two hours boat safari on the Rufiji river. Something so very amazing...the silence, the birds, the crocodils, the hippos, the sundown...it is hard to put it in words.
We had a full day safari in Selous the next day. Lenard knows the reserve very good, he knows so much about animals and we saw a lot of them. No cats, but almost every other...even a hyena in the end. Lenard brought us so very close to them, he was so patiently and never got tired to drive, to explain and wait for us making photos.
On the last morning we had a walking safari. It was really exciting to walk in the bush always aware that the animals are close. A real nature experience.
We had full board at the Ngalwa Tented Camp. Food was always very delicous and the camp is a woderful little place somewhere out in the wilderness where we heard the bush babies cry at night.
The whole tour was thouroughtly good organized and perfect in a special way mostly cause of Lenard...we hope to do safari with him again and highly recommend him and his company.

Super!!!!
We relied on them for our 3-day stay in Tanzania.
Very satisfied! Lenard followed us in the organization, impeccable.
We visited the Mikumi National Park with the guide Alfonso, who was able to observe animals even from a distance.
The park is beautiful, we saw many animals and I realized a dream of mine.
Alfonso is a super guide.
The visit to the Masai village was also a beautiful experience, in that case a boy from the village, Jackson, followed us.
An extraordinary boy, he explained to us the origins of the Masai villages, their traditions, curiosities, their way of life and he did it with overwhelming enthusiasm.
He involved us in some village activities such as lighting the fire, dancing with them and perhaps it was the most beautiful experience.
Also the trekking on Mount Uluguru, tiring but nice. Evans also well done.
Camp Bastian Mikumi is wonderful. In short, we had a great time and I recommend Going Green Safari Tours to everyone.

Highly recommended tour.
We stayed in an excellent village in mikumi where we felt at home for the availability and friendliness of the staff.
In the three days we visited the Maasai village, went on a safari at Mikumi National Park and went trekking at udzungwa mountains national park. A beautiful and unforgettable experience that we highly recommend.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - 3 day Mikumi safari + uluguru mountain + masai village - for our honeymoon!!
We searched thoroughly online prior to booking the safari tour for our honeymoon. We came across the company ‘Going Green Safari Tours’ on the website safaribooking.com. They came highly recommended with over 300 reviews which were all very promising & within our budget so we proceeded with the 5% deposit and had direct contact with company via WhatsApp which was reassuring and convenient.
We booked the 3 day Mikumi safari + uluguru mountain + masai village - ALL INCLUSIVE. It was meant to be a shared tour but it was just us as nobody else booked the same tour.
We were in contact with a gent named Lenny. We soon found out he was the founder of Going Green Safari Tours. He collected us from our hotel and drove us to the Uluguru mountain for the climb / trek up the mountain where their was a beautiful waterfall. We met our tour guide ‘Evans’ and began the track. It took us approx 1hr 40 to reach the waterfall. We got amazing photos and Evans encouraged us throughout whilst providing insight of local area and its history. We climbed back down and were taken to ‘Soweto Village Hotel’. We had a comfortable sleep & the food options were ample given we have a vegetarian diet.
For day 2 we set of to the national Mikumi safari park at 07:30am following breakfast. Upon arriving at the park, we met our guide ‘Lanis’. We had a safari truck for the game drive. Lanis was very knowledgable and ensured to keep driving around the park until we were satisfied! We were fortunate to see 4 of the big 5! We saw lions, elephants, buffalos & a leopard + many more! We left the park 4pm and were taken to the Maasai village. We learnt about the Maasai traditions & their way of life. We stayed a ‘camp bastian’ overnight. Accomodation again was good and we didn’t have any issues.
The final day was a long drive back to DAR airport in time for our flight to Zanzibar. Lenny was great, he was punctual with his timing, communicated very well and we would most definately recommend the 3 day Mikumi safari + uluguru mountain + masai village to all that are looking to do a safari, as well as gain amazing insight into the ways of life in Tanzania!

Really helpful, gave lots of information. Quick to reply and very reliable
We had a brilliant time on safari. I would totally recommend using going green safaris. We had a lovely balance of a private tour feeling as though you’re the only people on yhe safari while seeing all the wildlife we wanted!
