Professional and Respectful
The tour operator Mansoor was very professional right from the beginning. He walked me the entire reservation, provided me with answers to my questions promptly and he made sure we got exactly what we were looking for despite making our reservations last minute. Our tour guide aka driver Mr Superman was the best. He was very professional, respectful and knowledgeable of animals. He went above and beyond and made every efforts to drive us all day to ensure we see all animals especially the BIG 4. I will highly recommend this company and huge THANK YOU TO YOU MANSOOR AND MR MICHAEL.

Personalized and kind
We have done a 6 days personalised tour in Tarangire, Serengheti and Ngorongoro with African Pangolin Safaris.
All the two guides are very well prepared, we could see all animals, included the big 5!
They were very kind, caring and helpful.
We had a really nice, personalised and unique experience in Tanzania with Mohamed and Vikto!

Fantastic
I organized the trip for my family and friends directly from Italy with Pangolin Tour (departure by car from Dar Es Salaam, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater).
Mohamed Mansoor (owner) is serious and competent.
He answered promptly, via whatsApp, to all the doubts.. always present for any clarification!
Excellent maintenance (new tyres, for example) of the vehicles.
The drivers Vikto and Mohamed are very skilled in driving and also in sightings (seen all the Big 5!)
The overnight stays were above expectations (especially the Narudi tended camp in Serengeti - dreamlike!!!)
Very good prices compared to the competition.
Highly recommend, above average professionals.

An amazing trip! Well-organized and diverse
We were two travelers going on a six-day safari through Mikumi, Uduzungwa and Ruaha national parks. Our first time to Tanzania and we wanted to see both the animals and the country itself. The selection of parks in the southern circuit fit our vision and budget well. If, like us, you're unsure what to do or see, reach out to this company and they will help tailor something to your liking.
We had a 4x4 Land Cruiser with four rear seats, which was spacious for two people. The car was well kept. Our guide throughout the trip was Mansoor Mohamed and we couldn't have asked for better company. Humble and well spoken with a great knowledge about nature and the animals we saw. For first-timers in Africa he made us feel safe and taken care of from the first e-mail conversation all the way until we parted ways.
Some of the lodges or hotels were a bit worn down, but that was our budget range and we didn't mind. The experience, the animals, the car and the guide were all top notch. All-in-all, great services and good value for money.
Would definitely seek out African Pangolin Safaris for other trips if we should return. Mansoor told us he would schedule an appointment with the leopard we didn't manage to photograph, so I guess we'll plan a new trip when its schedule is available =)

Thumbs up for everything, starting with the booking, the direct communication was excellent, all questions were answered very quickly.

It was amazing and a absolutely must have
We have a great time at Mikumi NP. Our guide Yunus was the best. We saw many animals. Yunus had the ability to find the animals from 400m away. It was a great time.

Great experience in Ruaha
Great value for price. Right from the beginning the communication was great with Mansoor Mohamed, friendly but also professional. We needed to make adjustments to our tour dates short before our trip, which he kindly arranged without any problems. Our tour guide Serafino was amazing. His English was great and he had a lot to tell about the environment and animals all throughout our journey. In the beginning of our safari there was a problem with our car but he found creative ways to work around it and we still got the full safari experience we payed for. Our meals were always at a restaurant in the campsite, delicious and big portions. The bandas and the restaurant are located right next to the Great Ruaha River, so you get to observe many animals from there already. During our safari we saw giraffes, elephants, zebras, buffaloes, crocodiles, hippos, dikdiks, antilopes, warthogs, eagles, a big pride of lions and a leopard. I did see more animals in total in Serengeti-Ngorongoro, but we preferred to come to Ruaha at this time of the year since the national parks in the North get very crowded and in the end in Ruaha we never felt like it was crowded, was most of the time the only car next to the animals and got to see some of the animals a lot closer than I did in the North.
To me this was a perfect honest safari experience. I have two other experiences of safaris in different locations in Tanzania, and this was the most pleasant experience I had with a company. Serafino took great care of us, even helped us with getting bus tickets in Iringa and Baobab seeds from the market. I would highly recommend working with this company!

The trip of a lifetime!
Our guide (Mansoor) was great! He knew a lot about all the animals and the surroundings. He aranged all the accommodations and excursions. He knew to find the animals in the parks. We went to Mikumi, Ruaha and Nyerere. The accommodations were standard which was fine. We combined all the parks and we had to spend a lot of time in the car but there was always something to see. And Mansoor is een excellent driver
