Honest, friendly and coopertive way of working. Work with locals in a sustainable way
Bejond expectations. What a culture and wildlife. Great way to experience Tanzania. We mixed basic own tent nights with lodges, we mixed safari with culture, we mixed active with driving.
Lot of driving if you want to discover Tanzania, mainly dirt roads. Would not advice to bring kids < 14. Their way of live and envirement is so different than ours, which makes its real travel..

Extraordinary experience with the best safari driver
We want to thank you so much for everything ! It was even nicer than what we expected ! The Serengeti was amazing with The Great Migration and also we liked very much the Tarangire :) And Gibbs Farm was such a nice place ! Festo also was sooooo nice and so well prepared, he told us so many interesting details about the animals; also, he was very attentive to details about our wishes ; we really had a good connection with him, he is a very nice person, definitely we will recommend you and him to our friends in Romania who will come in Tanzania this year and the next year !
Wish the best for you for the moment and we will be back to you in a few months about our friends. Thank you so much one more time Mrs. Astrid, everything was perfect !

We had an amazing experience
We'd booked this tailormade trip a year ahead and had to make some changes due to corona. Karin & Astrid were super helpful in both planning the perfect Honeymoon as well as making the needed changes like moving the dates without any problems. We completely trusted their expertise in the best locations to visit as well as the best accommodations to stay in, and they did not let us down.
We've seen amazing landscapes and animals, met lovely people and ate great food. We were often surprised by sweet messages written in flowers on our bed and were well taken care off by chauffeurs, guides and lodge staff. By the end of our trip it was hard to say goodbye, but we'll take home a lot of great memories.
I would highly recommend Green Hippo Travels, they made our Honeymoon worth every penny. They took care of us from beginning to end and although we did not have any problems they kept in touch the entire trip to make sure we had the best possible time. As they say in Tanzania, Asante sana!

Great personal advice and support
Our first contact was back home, in 30 minutes we learned about the team and the travel opportunities. Options were communicated transparently. Super helpful. We took time to write down our thoughts and were offered a tailored travel plan accordingly. Within budget and aligned with our needs. True personalization.
Once we arrived at our destination, we got a personal debrief on what to expect and some tips & tricks for the trip itself. Again, personal, relevant and with great detail.
It lead to a perfect holiday. We enjoyed safaris, cultural local trips (cooking, coffee, maasai) and relaxing time in Zanzibar. Just before our departure we again were reached out to with all the latest and greatest info (eg PCR testing needs), reassuring us all the way.
So yes, Green Hippo comes highly recommended. We enjoyed a tailored, beautiful Tanzania trip. Thanks!

A very rewarding once in a life-time opportunity
Over all the trip was fantastic! The guides and ranger were knowledgeable, supportive and were easily able to set a perfect pace according to our group. The cabins were great and clean and we enjoyed having the entire place to ourselves! The food was delicious and provided sufficient energy for our climb! The other staff in the team were very kind and professional. Things that I could suggest for improvement for green hippo travels is the lunch pack for the first day, we would love to see your environment consciousness within our lunches, possibly using less single use plastic. Thank you so much for our amazing trip!

Was marvellous, with exclusive experiences and a warm hearted feeling into tanzania.
Going with GreenHippoTravels allowed me to learn more about the culture, animals and plants of tanzania thanks to the way the company presents its trips which allows us to have unique experiences. It makes the tours stay interesting everywhere. Being conscious of the environment and overall earth is very easy with GreenHippoTravels since that is there priority, this makes going traveling even more enjoyable!!

One in a life time Safari
With only 5 days noticed, Astrid from GreenHippo Safaries managed to organize the most amazing safari for us. The accommodation organized was exactly what we liked. All paper-work for the parks done so we could enter the parks smoothly. And most important what a privilege to be in the Serengeti almost by yourself!

Excellent tour, amazing experience unforgettable
It was an amazing experience perfectly organized by GreenHippo travels.
I travelled with a friend of mine and booked the trip in September to start on 27 th of January.
The transfers to and back the airport are included in the package.
The lodges and tented camps are nice having in mind we have booked a mid-range safari. The camps in Tarangire and the Serengeti, they are nothing more to wish for in the middle of nowhere. Warm to hot water, everywhere, enough to wash your hair and electricity in the tents to charge your devices. Our guide David was amazing, so much knowledge about every single species we have seen during our safari. Thanks to GreenHippo travels and our guide David to make our safari unforgettable.

Experience of a lifetime
We toured through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with Green Hippo Travels. Our guide, Silva, was very knowledgeable and helpful in naming the various animals we saw in the wild, and providing more information about their habits. The tented camps were top notch, and our guide paced the tour to our preferences.
We had been given excellent guidance from Astrid in planning our tour ahead of time, to ensure the duration fit our desires and that the accommodations were to our liking.
We were quite pleased with the experience and recommend Green Hippo to anyone who wants a true safari experience.
