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!
#Safari
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!

UNFORGETTABLE!
My Tanzania safari was a dream come true. It exceeded all expections, and I cannot recommend It enough. Behind the scene, Obag and his team ensured that everything ran smoothly, from transfers tò setting up the accomodations. This effort of these remarkable people made my Tanzanian safari not only unforgettable but also genuinely perfect.
Very good
Reliable, understanding and very helpful during our stay in Zanzibar and Tanzania

Pascoe was very knowledgeable and lovely, really improved our trip!
Loved our tour to selous national park. The driving and boat safaris far exceeded my expectations. The walking safari wasn’t good and I wouldn’t have minded skipping that entirely, though it was quite funny. The accommodation (though we stayed at a slightly different accommodation than usually provided with this tour, at Selous Ngalawa camp) also wasn’t great, and the food wasn’t great there either.
BUT Pascoe our guide and our driver (whose name I forget!) were great, determined to get us to find lions and made for a really enjoyable tour. They were able to sort issues for us on the fly and I would definitely go with these guys again. I think they provide good value for money.

Obed was very welcoming and attentive and made the Safari very enjoyable.
Very quick response to my request for a quote on a last minute Safari. Very affordable rates for a large family like mine and didn't feel like we sacrificed the quality. We didn't go to the biggest park, but Saadani was a great one day trip that allowed us to see several giraffe, impalas, baboons, water buffalo, and warthogs. My family loved it.

everything was perfect!
What an experience! From the moment we contacted Obag Safaris for a quote to the end of our stay, everything was perfect!
Everything was very well organized and explained. We arrived in the middle of the night, and the guide picked us up at the airport and brought us to a hotel where we could rest for a few hours before starting the safari. The team even thought of doing the hotel check-in for us in advance so that we could save time on arrival. Our guide was incredible! We had a private jeep for my mum, my father and me. The guide explained everything about the animals we saw. He answered all our questions and has a lot of knowledge about Tanzania and the animals we can see on safari. He is a very respectful person with whom we had a great time! Thank you, Obag team!
