Adventurous safari and lovely campsite
I found myself going alone on safari for a few days during my visit in Tanzania. I got in touch with Paka Adventures. From the minute I contacted them they were accommodating, friendly and beyond helpful.
The camp site was beautiful, overlooking the river, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was a big part of that - warm, helpful and service minded.
During my 4-day-stay I got to experience a boat safari, two driving and two walking safaris. Each had its own wonderous nature and animal life. Experienced guides were more than willing to share their knowledge.
I got to see a wide variety of animals, including lions and elephants. I also learned a lot about animal tracks and habits, as well as vegetation.
The nature and wild-life was both fascinating and beautiful.
I strongly recommend Paka Adventures. They were accommodating to my needs and wishes every step of the way, and have the knowledge and experience to offer an enjoyable and exciting safari experience!

Tanzania on its best by Paka
I had such an amazing trip that i booked through Paka Adventures.
In the beginning when searching I obviously was nervous for going to Africa.
Thanks to the professionalism of Eivind and Helena I felt comfortable right away.
The trip took me to all the highlights of the southern part of Tanzania:
- Mikumi
- Selous
- Zanzibar
- Dar es Salaam
From a to z, the entire trip was organized superb. The driver/guide was great, the lodges and camps were sublime and the vehicle new. The game drives truly were amazing!!
Thanks paka adventures for the trip of my life!
Perfect Safari Tour to Selous and tours/transports at Zanzibar
Very nice communication, all questions answered quickly. Fair prices.
Our Safari-driver - Amani - was excellent. Drove perfect, knew (nearly) everything about animals and plants. Due to bis experience we saw four of the big five (and rhinos can not be seen at Selous).
Paka also arranged a perfect spice tour and tour to Prison Island with german speaking, great guides and transports at Zanzibar with very reliable driver.
Everything worked out fine.

Best Safari Company
Paka Adventures went above and beyond to make this safari a wonderful experience for my parents and I. Despite my parents' flight being delayed several days, then completely rescheduled a second time, the staff at Paka Adventures rebooked, adjusted, and reorganized our entire trip to make it possible for my parents to still enjoy a safari during their visit in Tanzania. When we finally made the trip, the driver was excellent, the lodge (Vuma Hills Camp) was beautiful and very nice, and we saw every animal we could have possibly hoped to--and even made it back to Dar on time despite spending extra time in the park watching a lioness and her cubs. An absolutely brilliant safari with a company who I will definitely use again and will recommend to everyone I know!

Excellent service
We had a fantastic trip to Tanzania with Paka Adventures. We wanted it all; beach, safari, Kilimanjaro. Toghether with Paka we made the perfect trip, just for us... First a couple of days on the beach sout of Dar Es Salaam, then safari, then Kilimanjaro and at the end a week at Zanzibar. The advices we got on where to go, number of days, routes on Kilimanjaro etc etc was excellent and we're so glad for all the advices we got along the way. The guides were fantastic! Both on the safari and on Kilimanjaro the guides made our day(s and weeks)! Also the follow up from Paka along the way made us feel really attend to the whole time we were there. If there were changes (like a cancelled flight), they informed us immediately and made sure we had activities for the time until the next flight.

Adventure in Tanzania
"Climbing" Kilimanjaro was on the Bucket list and in 2011 we decided we had to go. We attended a presentation of Paka Adventures and landed on using them as our operator. We wanted to relax, go on safari and of course our main goal - Uhuru Peak at the top of Kilimanjaro. We arranged flight tickets from Norway to Dar-Es-Salam by ourselves - arrival Sept. 2013. The rest was arranged by Pakas. What a trip we had. Relaxed at the Lighthouse Beach Resort, adventure at Selous Game Reserve and to top it all - all ten of us made it to the top of Kilimanjaro.
Surprise of the trip - all the good food we where served :-)
