A great adventure with many lasting memories!
We highly recommend Kasaka Tours! We had many questions in advance, which were always answered quickly and in a friendly manner. John was always fully responsive to our needs! Our driver and guide Francis who picked us up in Dar es Salaam and did the tour in Mikumi National Park with us was great! He gave us many lasting memories and we saw so many animals: elephant, giraffe, lion, buffalo, hippo, crocodile, antelope, zebra, impala, monkey, warthog and so many amazing birds. An unforgettable adventure for us and thanks again to John and Francis and see you soon! Asante sana

Very helpful and trustable and very good in their job
I started communicating with John a few weeks before our family trip to Tanzania. I asked a lot of questions and he replied all of them in a very patient and clear way. I ended up deciding to go to Mikumi since we did not have many days to spend on the road and it was the closest national park to have a safari. Everything went very smoothly as we planned. John met us at the airport at 5 in the morning, got our payment, took us to meet our Safari driver, Emma and we said our byes. Our plan was to take the ferry to Zanzibar directly from the safari and we weren't sure how we would manage to get the tickets and make it on time. John offered to get the ferry tickets for us which he did and met us at the ferry to give them to us. This was a very nice act and really helped us a lot. Emma was a great Safari driver as well. He found all those lazy, sleeping lions in their quiet corners only visible to a knowing eye, which thankfully he had. He was a very nice and social person with a lot of knowledge about the animals' behaviour which he shared with us all during our trip together. Our experience with Kasaka Tours was a very positive one and I would recommend them wholeheartedly. Thank you very much John and Emma...

This was our first safari tour and it was amazing. Frendly and well educated driver, good food and frendly people in the lodge. The service was amazing, as per the offer accepted from before, everything went well. I will highly reccomend to go with Kasaka Tours.

Incredible experience from beginning to end!
I can't recommend Kasaka Tours highly enough. As a solo traveler looking to do a short safari in the uncertain times of a global pandemic, i was so pleased with the professionalism and reassurance in which John and the Kasaka team communicated with me. They tailored the trip as I requested so I could maximise on the 3 days I had available and to the budget I had. My wonderful guide Julius was not only so experienced (spotting leopards in trees two days in a row from more than a kilometer away!!) but he was a great driver and a lovely kind person and kept me safe! I just wish I had more time for safari but I will definitely be coming back!! Thank you Julius and Kasaka Tours for an unforgettable safari experience!

Young, still in love with the job, professional, friendly and reliable
We are a couple with a 4 year old son visiting from West Africa, where travelling is relatively simple and cheap this was our first safari. We had booked a flight to Dar and planned an 8 day trip including Zanzibar, so we wondered if we could fit in a 3-day safari from Dar without taking internal flights. Mikumi Park turned out to be a great choice and, more importantly, Kasaka Tours gave us a seamless positive experience. Following Safaribooking advice, we requested several quotations from different companies, I whatsapped them and John from Kasaka gave me the best, articulated answers. He replied every answer, send me pics of the car and the driver's ID and licence. I found and loved their Instagram page and website, and realized this is the business of a lovely young -Tanzanian and Belgian couple who love what they do. So I chose them over other bigger more famous (and morre expensive) companies I was advised to take, ignoring the advice to stick with the best known and high-end operators or face a disastrous trip. I prayed we made the right choice. And right it was. First of all the flexibility was great: paying an extra, i got them to take me straight from the airport. Francis the driver was friendly, patient, a good conversation. The car, while not new, had a wonderful Indiana Jones feel and was all for us, with a great retractable roof. And never gave us even the hint of engine trouble over 3 days. Patience is key when in the parks and he drove us relentlessly to find the best spots. Francis turned out young but experienced: his detailed questioning of every car we passed in park ensured we wouldn't miss the most recent sightings. We got to see 7 lions napping after just one hour, then over two days giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, elephants, hyppos (in their pool) and all the stuff of our dreams. The Hotel proposed (Tan-Swiss) was excellent with a great pool. Tanzania is stunning. If I had the time and money I'd use them again (same car, same driver) for a Northern Circuit tour. I can only recommend.

Kasaka Tour is a great safari organizer who keeps all promises
I visited Mikumi NP together with two my kids in June thanks to Kasaka Tours :-). All promises were kept and we enjoyed our safari very much, especially my boys. Apart from safari, John (the owner) organised us also transport from the airport to the hotel, tickets to AZAM ferry as well as SIM card, so we are very grateful for him. I felt really taken care of John.
I have to mention also about Emanuel who was our safari guide and driver. He was always on time and drove us to safari very safely with smile on his mouth and Hakuna Matata sentence - no stress :-) Additionally thanks to his great eyes we had occasion to see even leopard in Mikumi, what is very rare, so we were very lucky :-)
Summing up, we can highly recommend Kasaka Tour because you won't be disappointed and you will survive great adventure for reasonable price :-).
John and Eman thank you very much ❤ Dorota, Janek and Adam

Best way to experience the hidden places!
Kasaka tours gave me the best safari experience i could have imagined! Tassia and John, the owners of Kasaka Tours, were very friendly and gentle. They both speak fluently English and Swahili.
John grew up in Tanzania, so he knows all the local stuff. Tassia grew up in Belgium and decided to go living in Tanzania. That makes a good balance between them.
We visited the national park Selous game reserve. We really spotted the right animals at the right time. Because of their experience, they kinda predict where the animals will be.
Overall it was an amazing experience!
