THE BEAUTFULL OF OBAG AFRICA SAFARIES
Obag African Safaris is the best of tour Company I saw in Tanzania .
I really never see the Company like this.
The Guide (Ngunda) is very good , enough experience and full of explainations about the bush .He is strong , chaming and caring person .
Also he did what he promised before safari ,
Am sure I payed less than I get .
I saw all I wished to see , a lot of animals like Big group of Elephant and Lion as I wished.
I will not finish to explain about Obag but for sure this is my best Company and favourate in Tanzania .

Amazing!
We were a group of friends that spent a few days with Obed on Safari in Mikumi National Park.
Obed was very flexible and helpful at all times. He and the driver explained a lot of things on the tour and tried their best to make us see as many animals as possible.
We also visited a Maasai Village and a local village.
We really enjoyed our days with Obed!
If we come back in Tanzania we will definitely contact you again!
Thank you so much for all Obed!

Very friendly, competent, hakuna matata with an eagles eye for finding animals
We felt always safe and secure. Pickup from the airport and transfer to was perfect. The guide (Gilbert) simply knows everything about the parks and the animals. Especially also about all sorts of birds. He loves his job and he is committed to preserving the beautiful nature of Tanzania. Obed and Gilbert also helped us with any special needs we had. For us this was the very first safari, but they helped us to overcome any fears we had. The jeep is a grand old lady, but perfect for safari. We enjoyed standing in the car, under the hood, safe from the sun, feeling the light breeze and watching for animals. The lodges we stayed in were spatious. beautiful, clean, served good food and helped us relax and prepare for the next day's adventures. We totally recommend!

Very patient, respectful and makes good effort.
It was as a lovely experience going on a Safari with Obag African Safaris. My partner and I visited the Nyerere (Selous) National Park in April 2023, which happens to be a low season and Eid fasting period. We were lucky that it didn't rain during our time at the park. We had close encounter with girraffes, zebras, monkeys, rhinoceros and buffaloes
But, it wasn't quite a big five experience, as we didn't get to see lions and leopards. Obed tried his best to find the lions but we gave up after several hours of searching.
A bit gutted with the Selous national park, as the management team needs to figure out how to make the lions and leopards visible in the parks. The road from Dar Es Salaam to the parks was very bumpy and tiresome after a 4 hours ride to the park.
I highly recommend Obag African Safaris but won't recommend Selous national park for anyone hoping to get the sort of experience that you will find in the Kruger national park

A great facilitator for a dream coming true!

Me and my two children had a time of our lives with Obag!
Obid was a caring guide and did everything he could so that we would have the best experience ever.
He picked us up 5am in the airport when we flew into Dar Es Salaam from Europe. We drove to Mikumi National Park which is a long drive, but in a very comfortable car.
We got see wild animals driving through the park the first day and on our return.
The big Safari day was the best! Because of low season (March- April) there were only a few other tourists in the park. And this also made it so much easier to actually see all the different spices.
In addition, Obid and his driver knew exactly when and where to go to see them. You must go out early in the morning as a start.
We were close up to many animals like elephants, zebras, giraffes, antelopes and hippos just to mention some. The highlight was watching a lion laying down under a tree after eating a good meal - a wildebeest. And to observe the way of life when all the vultures and a jackal finishing up the meal.
This day was a dream coming true.
The lodge we were suppose to stay in for our three day of Safari was over booked. But instead we got the best replacement in a lodge in the middle of a village where we were the only white people and tourists. Outside our lodge the daily life as we know it, was like a journey back in time to another century. We were so lucky to actually be apart of this community for a few days and to see how the authentic life was, and not just a stop in a Masai village where the set up is planned for tourists.
Thank you for a wonderful time, Obid!
Next time you must show us other parts of Tanzania.
PS: You must bring dollars to pay the whole Safari with. The transaction of money is mostly by cash wherever you go in Tanzania. Otherwise you will get a hard time paying for your Safari like we did.
For some of the money, I had to use the international online transaction system on my way out to Zanzibar to pay the rest. But Obid trusted us. However, it was very stressful, so always bring enough dollars!
Thank you again!
Best regards from
Ida, Iver and Eva-Kristin

Very welcoming, well trained and considerate
Obed accompanied me during my whole trip and it was definitely the best choice I could ever take for my first safari experience. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot too.

Great tour discovering Mikumi & Udzungwa Mountains with Obag Safari’s
We had an amazing time with Obag Safari’s in Mikumi National Park and the Udzungwa Mountains. Our guide, Obed, was easy-going and always made sure we were comfortable. He was happy to change things up to make our trip better. Besides the safari, we had a fun hike in the Udzungwa Mountains and even got to swim in a waterfall! Obed didn’t just talk about the animals; he also shared cool stuff about Tanzanian life and history. It felt like we were on a tour with a friend. Would definitely go again!
