Highly professional and personalised service.
We were unsure about using a small local travel agent but these concerns turned out to be baseless. Highly reactive and dynamic is how I would describe these guys - our contact was Fransisca kessy - who also owns the business - great to talk to the person in charge ! I was nervous not using a big international company and asked for various business certificates that were supplied within minutes of asking. You can rest assured that you will not regret using them. All sections of the journey were faultless and everything that was supposed to happen, did - on time as well. The guide called Bryson was exceptional and knew how to avoid the crowds AND find all the animals - all of them. He was polite and charming.
We simply had the best time ever and can recommend Mellivora Travel with no hesitations. There were excellent. Well done team !

Perfection in every aspect
We booked a 2-day safari to Tarangire/Ngorongoro. We requested quotes from different providers, but the communication with Fransisca from Mellivora African Travels was by far the best - she answered our questions fast, with a lot of detail and tried to find the best possible solution.
Everything went as planned, we were picked up from our hotel, flew to Arusha where our guide, Ernest was waiting for us.
Ernest was an excellent guide for the whole tour, looked out for us in every aspect. He was a very safe driver, but also not slow by any means neccesary :-)
In the parks he communicated constatly with the other guides where-what was going on in the park so we could see everything what we wanted. He knew every track and tried to stay away from crowded places. We had a lot of luck seeing lion cubs, a leopard, a black rhino among a lot of other animals.
The food provided was also excellent, when we needed something, Ernest took care of that swiftly.
The accomodation was a big positive surprise also, a very new, excellent lodge (African Safari Karatu).
The 2 days were quickly over, Ernest brought us in time to the airport.
We can recommend Mellivora African Travels in every aspect and we will be back for a bigger tour sometimes in the future - definitely with Ernest!

Extremely Responsive and Flexible
I was a pleasure interacting with Fransiscah to plan our safari trip. She understood what we needed and planned the trip for us accordingly. We really enjoyed the entire trip through Grongroro and Serengeti. I got the best deal from Mellivora along with flexibility in the plan.

Amazing Tour
We had an amazing week on safari with Mellivora African travels. This is a small local enterprise punching it’s way above in the industry. Fransisca helped us work out what we could do on our budget, and advised us every step of the way. No question too silly, no detail too small. David and Action were on top of everything, great fun, amaizing experience and we ate like kings every day. Johnson was well connected with the other drivers in the park and so we saw loads of animals. The choice of accommodation was great too.
It’s hard to work out which company to go with but we struck gold with this small, honest and experienced team.

Everything is amazingly professional
"An incredible experience which got beyond any expectations we had.
3 days of safari, guided by the lovely Ernest who showed great knowledge and took care of everything we needed.
Me and my sister were amazingly satisfied and happy that Ernest was the one who took care of us.
The safari was well planned, from the first day to last through the tasty meals, safe car, and the beautiful and authentic lodges, which made the experience feels comfortable.
You guys provided the best services anybody could ask for. We have nothing to say than thank you as we enjoyed every moment of it.

Unforgettable experience
Very good and reliable company with great guides. We had 8 day private safari with all Tanzanian highlights. The logdes and the catering was amazing! We’ve seen all Big Five, including a few leopards really close - thanks to our guide Naseeb, very experienced & friendly guy. Definitely recommended!

Hé was perfect for the tour
We had a wonderful 6 days/5 nights trip with Mellivora African Travels from Arusha to Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. We were picked up by our lovely guide Johnson from our Arusha hotel and had a quick stop at the Mellivora African travels office to finalize admin and get a briefing. Then we were off to Ngorongoro.
Johnson was a fabulous guide - friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable about anything we wanted to know about nature and history throughout our trip.
We spotted so many lovely animals, including the rarer ones like cheetahs and rhinos. Well, Johnson spotted them as he has that skill to spot really everything.
Everything worked according to plan and was thought through and we can highly recommend Johnson as a guide and Mellivora is a tour operator!

Loves their job!
I did a share safari tour of Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro NP with 3 other travelers. The trip was very well organized. Communication all throughout the the trip was excellent. Fransisca was always quick to answer any questions I have regarding the trip before the trip begin. The trip was very reasonable priced and they made sure top notch accommodations and service all through out the trip. All the four accommodations we stayed were very well picked. I in particular loved the lodge where we stayed in Ngorongoro and also the tented lodging experience at Serengeti. Issa was our tour guide - he is a very experienced guide and went out of his way to take care of all of us. I also enjoyed our lunch arrangement - unlike box lunch, it was a warm meal with proper utensils and everything. Overall the trip was amazing. Safari is for most of us once in a lifetime experience and I am so glad that I picked Mellivora African travels for that.
