Amazing safari !!!!!!
From the very beginning, African Pangolin Safaris showed full professionalism. We had an amazing safari in Mikumi and Ruaha National Park. We also visited Udzungwa National Park and the Maasai village. Our driver-guide Mansoor turned out to be a great, very thoughtful driver and a great guide in the parks. He told us a lot about animals. We saw lions, elephants, kudu, buffalos, dik dik antelopes and lots of other animals. It was an amazing experience. I would highly recommend !!!

Mikumi National Park
It was the most amazing experience of my life ! We passed 3 days in the national park of Mikumi. We passed nights inside the park. We saw lions, hippopotamus, zebras, elephants, warthogs, giraffes, aligators, lots of birds, buffalos etc.. Mansoor was our guide during this exeprience he was amazing, very interesting, he knows and explained us how the animals are living and where we could see them. He is respecting them a lot and is respecting their place of life. We felt in security with him. I will never forget this experience. We passed 3 days to see animals in the park. I thank a lot Mansoor for hits time and hits knowledge and his sympathy. I highly recommand him you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic safari tour - 4 days Mikumi + Udzungwa
We decided to do a 4 day safari in Mikumi NP and trekking in Udzungwa mountains. Already the communication with Mr Mansoor was great, he always replied very fast and changed some things in the itinerary upon my request without any problem. I had some troubles with paying the deposit (technical issues) but Mansoor was very understanding and was trying to help as he could. Our guide and driver was Tony who was very attentive, always punctual, kind and knowledgeable. And he is also a very good driver! We managed to see so many animals during our safari, it was a fantastic experience! The sunset in the African savanna is really something special :) The accommodation and food was also good, we have nothing to complain about. The trekking in Udzungwa mountains was very nice! We went with a different guide from the park, he was very knowledgeable about the different plants and animals and we also managed to see some monkeys :) the nature over there is beautiful! I definitely recommend African Pangolin Safaris and also Mikumi NP very much!! Thank you for everything :)

Amazing safari with the best guide yunus!
We decided to do a 3 day Safari in Mikumi national park. Our driver was Yunus, a great guide. He is really kind and cares about your needs and wishes. We had a lot of fun and have seen many animals, even really close because he took the time if we spotted animal and he explained a lot about the animals and their behaviour and everything. All in all its worth every penny. Th place where we stayed was beautiful as well. They served delicious food and everyone had its own bungalow. The accommodation even had a large swimmingpool. You are going to enjoy if you book the tour.

Fun experience with a very professional and caring tour
This is the review for the 5-day African Pangolin Safaris visiting Mikumi and Nyerere park.
We are a group of 12 travelers in the mid 50s to the 70s from Montreal, Canada, experiencing the first so called safari in Tanzania. We are fortunate to have signed up with this band of brothers (seriously two brothers Mansour and Yunus) who led us through the rugged terrain of Tanzania national parks for 5 days in two Toyota Land Cruiser with pop-up tops. There was apprehension in the group at the beginning of the quest when we were to give up the comfort of city life for the dusty trails.
It seemed that the brothers could read our mind, stopped at the right time for nature calls, picked the best lunch spots in the middle of nowhere that were accentuated by some memorable spots such as the humongous baobab tree that smugglers used the hollow trunk as a hideout from the law in recent pasts. They arranged the most convenient lunches midday at a stop when we were prearranged to bypass the long line of customers at a buffet that provided delicious local food. That's a privilege appreciated by the weary travelers who looked for a cool spot to rest the battered body.
It took awhile for the group to get in sync with the operation focusing on the big five animals of the territory, bouncing "aimlessly" through endless pathways at idle pace, ... and suddenly, here we were switching into what seemed like neck breaking pace on the not so smooth trails when, over the radio, there was a "point of interest" that turned out to be two full grown lions taking a nap by the roadside, oblivious to the presence of the uninvited guests.
Observing the majestic animals (giraffes, Wildebeest, hippos, .. ) along with birds in the wild made all the trip worth while. Now we have first hand view of the African Eagle to compared to our Canadian bald eagle. The brothers will not hesitate charging through narrow passages that made us cringe when tree branches gave the sides of the vehicles a brush jobs that will require serious detailing to remove the scars off the paint. The brothers provided ample of time to take in the scenery without feeling pressed for time, an undeniable quality felt and can hardly quantified.
It was a well paced program allowing the group to enjoy the ruggedness of nature, get the questions answered that revealed the in-depth knowledge of the professional guides. That was an educational experience that I personally appreciate. The brothers were patient, courteous, friendly throughout the long days searching for the best spots, the most unique scenes, answering multitudes of questions with facts and back story, contrasting the calmness when traversing the rugged terrain that required technical skills to overcome.
The food choice was excellent, blending local cooking with some traditional western dishes that help balance the adventure with home cooking. Banda bungalow Selous was top in the group's mind.
In all, I would be amiss not admitting the overload of sensation during the 5-day adventure. The recall is spotty at best but the memory etched deep in this memorable vacation.
There are not enough words to thank Yunus and big brother Mansour to make this safari a wonderful possibility. They are a big factor in making this vacation a success. Now, we have plenty of time to peruse the photo collection for a recall of the many details of past events and relive the adrenaline-packed five-day adventure.
The group is very happy to have chosen African Pangolin Safari and we were amply rewarded.
The big brother Mansour is discretely a bit stricter than Yunus on when to stand while the vehicle is moving, I later found out. Well, all is in the name of safety for all aboard and we appreciate it.
Thank you Mansour and Yunus. 'til the next time.
