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

Amazing!!!!
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 :))

A great experience at a great price
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.

The Most Amazing Experience... Selous Park
My husband and I planned to take a much-needed break and I realized we had to try one of several safari experiences when we decided on Tanzania. I had a million safari options, but I got an immediate reply from Omar the owner and manager of this company, I knew we had to go along with him. He was so sweet, assuring and reliable. I felt linked automatically and moved on to prepare. He was still very patient in the arrangement, we chatted a lot online and after a few calls, it began to feel like friends already. For our permits, pick up at the airport and more, Omar went the extra miles to plan out of the package for which we paid for. It was about my wife and my wife.
It was our first safari experiences for both my husband and I and Omar had a lot of well-orchestrated experiences. A very therapeutic experience was our three-day stay in Selous Park. We would like to see it again. On the day of our departures to Selous Park, we were picked up by Sheika (Omar's beautiful wife) with whom we had already spoken and along with our tour guide a very gentle but deeply knowledgeable chap named Frank, so kind-hearted. We just had an incredible time together.
Sheika had planned a very VIP tour for us, with stops to sample tasty Tanzanian dishes from local cuisine. All in all, I have to say, they are a great company, and we had the one of the BEST safari experiences with them. We had an amazing boat ride on the Rufiji River; got to see hippos, elephants, tigers, giraffes, different species of birds and a variety of other animals. We picnicked up in the wilds and had the finest food and customer service in the little lodge we lived in. It was such a sad time for us to leave after three lovely days in Selous.
I will surely recommend their services for all.
Omar and Sheika are the absolute power duo, their customers service skills are top-notch.
And for the record my husband and I will be back for more lavish experience next time.
Thank you to the entire Connect Africa team and in particular to Omar, Sheik and Frank.

Beyond what i expected
In the beginning, I hesitated a lot to book a safari with this company, knowing that it was my first safari trip, as I did not find much reviews for it since it is a new company, but I took the risk because they made a great offer with amazing accommodations with an excellent price, and this was one of my best decisions.
I have contacted several companies and they were offering great offers with a high price, and other companies had offers with a reasonable price, but the accommodations were not good.
I contacted Connect African Safaris and they were very helpful and were very quick to respond in adjusting the safari schedule and accommodations with Hamidu
When we arrived at kilimanjaro Airport, my husband and I met Omar and he explained many things to us about the region, culture and tribes on our way to the hotel and also showed us a wonderful restaurant to have dinner in Arusha
On the second day the adventure started with our driver and guide Hamisi. He is really cool and professional. He was very helpful with us and tried hard to make us enjoy the best game driving and see a lot of animals. We've seen the Big Five
They are a great company and we had the BEST safari experience with them. Thank you guys for the most wonderful trip.

More than we expected:)
We really enjoyed every minute of this safari. Got a really nice guy as our guide. In the end it was even a little bit sad to leave, as we were together for almost one week. He was always very helpful and prepared. Had amazingly good picnics every day!!! Also got some nice photos with animals so close to us. Saw almost every wild animal. The coolest thing was that we saw Simba trying to catch Pumba but he couldn't make it. But we were so close and staring at it was very very cool experience, highlight of the trip. We are more than happy with this tour:))

Incredible time during safari in Tarangire Park & Ngorongoro
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!

Very helpful during COVID
We had a Safari planned in Tanzania for this September, but COVID forced our airline to cancel our flight over to Africa so we could not make our trip.
We had already put a deposit down for our Safari, which we had to wire over with our bank. This was a very easy process, though.
Since our trip was cancelled, we needed to request a refund for our deposit. The company graciously refunded our ENTIRE deposit and wired it back to us in a very timely manner. We used Western Union for the wire and it was a seamless transaction.
Omar helped us along the way with everything! Omar spent a couple of weeks with us over email creating our perfect safari, and he did! We were very disappointed we could not experience it.
When we plan our trip back to Tanzania, we will be contacting Omar with Connect African Safaris!
Thank you for all of your help again.
