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

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.

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.

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!

Knows his job well, friendly, helpful, fun:)
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.

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

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

Sheikha is a professional organiser & she dealt with every queries promptly and efficiently.
5/5

I’m glad we found this site just a couple of days before our safari trip as it only took them couple of days to organise whole day programme at the mikumi national park. We just had to pay for what program we wanted and rest was all done by connect African safari very effortlessly. We were picked up from our hotel, taken to the national park, did the game drive for 3-4 hours (saw all main five wild animals), lunch/dinner & accommodation was all booked within the programme. We had the best time and made the best first safari memory ever.
