Very eager to fulfil all wishes and well organised.
5/5

We were very happy with our trip and were glad we booked with Connect African Safaris. They were very helpful and looked to tailor everything to us beforehand, making the programme just the way we wanted it. They even picked us up directly from the airport and then brought us back to the ferry as well and helped us with organisations for tickets! 2 small things that could be improved are: We were already picked up from the airport with the car for the safari (because we landed very late and drove directly to the national park). Unfortunately, the car did not have air conditioning and was not too comfortable - this could perhaps be arranged differently. And it would have been great to have a guide with us who could also explain some of the surroundings, the country etc. Otherwise, I can only say it was TOP - our driver knew his way around Mikumi National Park, we saw a lot of animals and very close to them, and our accommodation was clean and nice.
We can only recommend Connect African Safaris!

Honest, reliable, and committed to providing a decent service.
5/5

Omar, the owner of Connect African Safaris really gives the personal touch. From being in constant contact over Whatsapp, accepting payment via the secure DPO payment method, and even meeting in person after the safari wanting to find improvements/weaknesses in his tours, Omar really cares. He provided Moody (Mohammed) as our driver, who himself is a never ending driving machine! Also very knowledgeable and takes you into the deepest corners to find the animals, even when they're in their hiding spots.

I would highly recommend Omar and Connect African Safaris.

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.

My first safari
5/5

It was my first safari and it was an awesome experience. We saw a lot of animals and our tour guide Francis was really knowledgeable about animals and the history. On the last day he even tracked down a bunch of lions

Unforgettable and enchanting experience!
5/5

My husband and I decided to Celebrate our 10-year anniversary with a Safari, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our Safari guide was amazing we saw all the animals we wanted to see. We also told him we saw elephants at the zoo on one of our first dates, so he always made sure to stop where there were elephants because of how special they were to us!

Sheryl was also amazing to work with, we had some issues with our time off from work but she created an itinerary that worked for us. She went above and beyond because all the lodges and places we stayed were amazing! They had beautiful views and it always at a perfect location to relax after a day out with all the animals.

I would highly recommend it! We are hoping to take our daughters next time we go and will definitely come back to Connect

Experienced, respectful to animals, knowledgeable, and resourceful!
5/5

We had an AMAZING time with Connect African Safaris! Everything from communications with Sheryl in creating our itinerary to the week itself with our guide, Boniface was smooth, easy, and beyond expectations. Sheryl was able to accommodate two couples with two different departure dates and made for great experiences and an extra special walking safari for the couple staying a bit longer. The safari itself was superb - all of our lodge stays were exceptional, extremely welcoming, clean and the food was excellent. Our tour guide, Boniface, was extremely knowledgeable, reliable, and helped us see so many animals in just a few days! We could not recommend Connect African Safaris enough.

Outstanding service and communication
5/5

We were to visit Dar on a Holland American cruise ship with an overnight stay. Our ship would not be able to let passengers off until around 11am. Other tour operators would only start a tour earlier, around 7 or 8 am. Connect Africa accommodated our schedule. We started with a group of 2 and ended up with a group of over 20 from the ship for a 2 day one night safari. The schedule and value was too good for people to pass up.
The drive to the park was longer than expected but we were happy to see the country side and the villages along the highway. The vehicles were comfortable and spacious. Some of the group had been on longer safaris in the past and even they were happy with this one.
The lodging was excellent, much better than expected. The included meals were good. Anyone going to Tanzania should check this company out and book with them.
Cheryl is one of the owner's and a joy to work with.

Amazing team
5/5

I am so glad that I booked with those guys! Everybody we had contact with was open minded, friendly and always in a good mood. The price was that cheap that I was worried at the beginning. Also all the 5 star recommendations made me skeptical - but now I know why! They have the beste price, the best guides and the best safari trucks! Our guide knew a lot of the behaviors of the animals so that we spotted a lot of lions. We always had good and enough food and drinks during the journey!

Amazing safari in Mikumi
5/5

We spent 2 days - 1 night in the Mikumi National Park. Planning the trip was very easy, due to Omah who’s very responsive and available. We had the chance to have 2 different guides, Abeil et Innocent. They are both passionate and will provide you all the informations you need to learn about wildlife. Many thanks to them. We spotted many animals because both of our guides are communicating with their friends to make sure you’ll see everything is needed. Mikumi is a small park that gives you many more opportunities to see animals, even lions. Highly recommand !

Beyond expectations and exceptional experience!
5/5

We had an absolute glamorous experience in our 3 days safari to Mikumi National park,
we got quite lucky with the game drives and managed to see amazing Tanzanian wildlife beings.
Msangi our tour operator managed to make us meet our beyond expectations by communicating every single detail or demand in advance. Our safari driver Emmanuel provided us with a detailed knowledge of the wild animals and their habitat and was genuinely enjoying sharing the safari experience with us.
Our driver Patrick is a pro on road trips and gave us the best convenience in his rides.
The 3 days Mikumi National Park safari / hiking at Ngorongoro mountain trip is a value for money and an unforgettable experience to get to know Tanzanias wildlife and its amazing and welcoming people.
Would totally recommend
