memorable Safari
5/5

It was amazing for my family to do a safari with Connect Africa. Sheryl was attentive to our request and organized the safari based on our requirements.
We had an experienced driver and guide for the safari and were lucky to see several animals (more than 20 lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos and others). We had the privilege to see lions hunt. The hotel (Bastian) was perfect, with delicious food.
Thanks a lot to Sheryl and the team for this gift to my daughter, who has seen her favourite animal (Lion).
Sheryl connected us with Juma, a guide in Zanzibar, another professional who organized a perfect tour for us.
We come home with memorable souvenirs, and I will recommend Connect Safari and Juma to others without hesitation.
Sheryl, continue to do what you do- make people's dreams come true.

5/5

From the first moment, we felt that we were taken to the safari in Dar es Salaam by a very professional and reliable company which is Connect African Safaris. This company also made us feel that it trusted us. Both the tour operator, the vehicle driver and even the safari driver were all very friendly towards us. Our every need was considered and organized. As a result, we had a very nice experience, I thank you very much on behalf of myself and my friend.

Amazing safari experience 5*
5/5

We had an absolutely fantastic time! From beginning to end, the trip was exceptionally well organised, and our tour guide and driver, Abdul and Peter, made us feel safe and prioritised our needs throughout. They transformed our six-hour car journey into what felt like a breeze by allowing us to take breaks whenever we wanted and sharing insights about the local culture. We felt completely at ease during the entire trip, and both spoke excellent English. There was never a moment when we felt we couldn't ask questions; they were genuinely wonderful people who significantly enhanced our experience.

The safari itself exceeded all our expectations. We felt incredibly fortunate to have such professionals accompanying us, including our skilled driver. Our safari guide was outstanding—very experienced and truly made our outing the best we’ve ever had. We had some initial concerns about not seeing much wildlife, but they persevered until we spotted four out of the 'big five', which was simply incredible! Even when the animals were resting, our guide took the time to educate us about everything related to the safari, and we noticed others in nearby jeeps listening intently to his explanations—his knowledge was remarkable. He communicated in perfect English, and no request was too much trouble for him. They ensured our comfort from start to finish, making certain we were hydrated, well-fed, and at ease throughout the entire experience. Even now, as we relax in beautiful Zanzibar, we find ourselves reminiscing about it and have shared our experience with many others. We can't thank Connect Safari enough and hope many others have the incredible experience that we enjoyed. Thank you once again for the seamless communication and for providing us with the best experience we have ever had!

Wonderful Safari in Mikumi
5/5

Thanks a lot to Abdul from African-Connect for a very well organized safari to Mikumi!
Starting with an easy pickup, I enjoyed the smooth 3 days with a nice stay in the lodge and an exciting game drive within the park.

3 Day Short Exciting Tanzania Safari
5/5

3 Day Short Exciting Tanzania Safari

What a lovely trip in the bush of Africa’s most authentic National Parks!
We had a great time with Msago, our tour guide and Hashim our driver. He knew where we can spot each animal and was very humble and e accepted whatever we asked in terms of directions and animals to look for. He was very flexible and knowledgeable of every route in the park. I Loved where we stayed, the lodge is clean and spacious but affordable also, and the food and drinks were good and the people charming. Thank you Connect African Safaris. Thank you Sheikha for planning this trip with us and thank you for coming to the airport and constantly checking on us over the phone every evening.

3 Day Short Exciting Tanzania Safari
5/5

We had an extraordinary experience with connect African Safaris. At first we were hesitant to take this trip due to weather forecasting that it will rain but Sheikha convinced us to do so. We planned for a short time and we just decided to go to Africa!
The day started well because Msago, our tour guide was very early to pick us from our hotel. We had a discussion at the hotel lounge and he was very keen to know what animals we wanted to see and our overall expectation. We had some good laughs and thorough discussion on different aspects of wildlife because John and I adore animals. The lodges where we stayed were fantastic and so was the food. Msago had dinner with us the first night and we really loved the conversations. We are super proud that we booked with Connect African Safaris and are happy to recommend other travels to the team at Connect – Sheikha, Msago, Omar, and Hashim

Super Safari Experience
5/5

Thank you Connect African Safaris for providing me with total excellent customer service during my 2 week safari tour in Tanzania. The communication and service you provided me was high class and I enjoyed the adventure of the customised private tour you delivered to me visiting the Ngorongoro conservation area and Lake Manyara national park.

I also got to have a few peaceful and relaxing days in Zanzibar. Overall my holiday from start to finish was amazing, as you took care off all the finer details to make my holiday stress free, I would highly recommend Connect African Safari to all customers looking for a quality holiday experience in Tanzania no matter your budget.

Incredible time during safari in Tarangire Park & Ngorongoro
5/5

Just had an incredible experience with Connect African Safari.
My guide Frank showed up on time to pick me up early at the hotel. Frank is polite, patient, and knowledgeable about the area and animals. I saw thousands of animals and had all my questions answered by Frank. They accommodated my meals (vegan) and my overnight stay, always providing assistance when needed.
My husband fell ill before the Safari and we couldn’t go together but hopefully we can go in the near future and without hesitation I would use this company again. My husband and I recommend them 100%. Tanzânia is also a beautiful country!

A great experience at a great price
5/5

We were picked up in Dar es Salaam right on time, and as scary as Tanzanian drivers can be I never felt concerned because Francis was a very safe driver. When we got to the park, I was amazed at his observational skills. He saw every animal in the park! I was very impressed with his ability to find wildlife and position us for great viewing and photography. He is an expert driver, finding very smooth routes over very rough patches of road. The accommodations were basic but comfortable, the vehicle was very comfortable, and having a roof that could be raised to get a great view in the park but lowered on highways made for a very comfortable trip.
Coming from the United States, being accustomed to paying for everything with a credit card, it was a little uncomfortable handing over a large amount of cash to someone I had never met, but Omar is completely trustworthy, very friendly, and genuinely cared about the customer experience. I still am very impressed with the whole experience.
When I return to Tanzania, I will book another safari with Connect.
