Amazing!!!!
5/5


Highly highly recommend!

Omah made the process of booking our one night safari from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi easy and stress free, accommodating our budget and requirements. Very good communication prior to departure.

Omari, our guide, was absolutely brilliant. He had amazing English and knowledge of the animals, birds, plants and culture. He spotted many animals we would never have seen with our own eyes and was super kind and friendly, making our experience absolutely amazing. He made sure we saw everything possible! Once in a lifetime experience!

Food was also very good!

Don’t hesitate to book with connect safaris, they will look after you very well :))

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 !

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!

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.

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.

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!

Competent, professional and trustworthy tour operator
5/5

We would like to thank Halima for organising our tour so well. She was with us all the way from contacting us through the booking process and even on the trip, making sure we were comfortable and able to enjoy the safari to the full. She was always attentive, professional and extremely welcoming. I'm sure the other staff at Connected African Safaris are also very good, but we can highly recommend Halima. Many thanks to Halima and Connected African Safari!

5/5

The safari tour was really well organized, everything has been taken care of: game drives, accomodations, food. We did a private safari and our driver did everything according to our wishes and needs. We saw amazing animals from super close, had nice lunch in the nature and we also liked staying at Camp Bastian: It was clean and the food was delicious. We would highly reccomend Connect African Safaris to anyone!

Halima was very friendly, willing to answer all my questions, just a joy to work with on the details
5/5

Connect African Safaris reached out to us immediately. Halima, our tour operator, was wonderful. Very helpful in answering our questions before and during our safari. Our driver, Mr Moody, was very nice, funny, and full of interesting facts about the animals. Accommodations at Camp Bastian were very nice, and we were treated well by the staff. Food provided was good. Great experience for the price. Saw lots of animals - unfortunately we did not get to see a pride of lions, although on the first day we did see four sleeping female lions.

They consistently showed extraordinary responsiveness, care and service. World class.
5/5

From the moment we first made contact with them they made us feel important. They were patient and flexible with all the changes we kept making. Through the preparation, planning and during the trip they put our wishes and needs first, their focus was on giving us the best possible safari experience. My partner had mobility challenges when we arrived and our driver and guide was caring, attentive and helpful. Their service exceeded our expectations again and again. Omar was the person we dealt with and his service levels were exceptional. We travel a lot and have never experienced anything quite like this level of personalisation and caring. I wholeheartedly recommend them.
