Manna Expedition & Safaris_Feb 2016 Experience
Peter Mapinda and his staff at Manna Expedition are very conscientious and hardworking to provide the best service and accommodations to their guest during safari. Upon arrival at the airport, you are met by a representative from Manna Expedition.
The tent camps were extremely enjoyable and safe.
We were escorted to and from our tent to the main tent where we ate & met to leave for safari. The food was excellent. It was remarkable to be "in the bush" in the midst of the African wildlife.
Upon arrival to Arusa Tanzania we flew about 1 hour to begin our safari. After safari we began our drive back to Arusha, we had a wonderful cultural visit at a Massai village. Our driver and host from Manna Expedition stayed with us until we entered the airport for our flight to Rwanda to see the silverback gorillas.
Manna Expedition can arrange this for you!
Note: medical shots are required & a VISA. This was not a huge problem but did require several months to arrange. This was done by ourselves after we booked the trip.

Great experience of safari with an excellent and cool guide (Hillary)
I staid in My safari in january 2017 with the Furahia agency and team. We had as guide Hillary, the organization is globally good (they try to do their best and to help the tourists) and the guide, the young Hillary, is easy way, polite, well informed and will do his best in order to make the tourist enjoy their stay in the national parks or during excursions. Definitly a good solution for your trip in Tanzania. Federico Marchili (italian/french tourist). The owner of Furahia also has a very interesting social project for children in Tanzania and try his best in order to make improove local populations and tourism in his own country.

Friendly contact and quick responses
After the initial booking, the agent contacted me quickly with a few follow-up questions. Shortly before the booked stay, we had to change our schedule, that also worked very well with the support of the agent!

Excellent Safari
Our tour guide James was very professional, talkative and friendly, kept good atmosphere in the group. We would thoroughly recommend him to my friends and anyone wanting to visit Kenyan parks.

As individual as it gets
Stephen was capable to catch up my specific ideas/ request for a - bit different - trip and made this journey a really succesful one - I am a photographer.
We really went out of the casual safari-paths, but I guess he will also find special spots if you do it with your family.

Amazing
We were 6 guys from Sweden traveling to Tanzania and Zanzibar and booked our safari with Hello Tanzania. Everything was working flawlessly and Missis Mwajabu contacted us even after our Safari had ended to make sure the rest of our trip was turning out good. The safari trip was better than our expectations and we saw all the big five in just two and a half days safari. We got close to the lions, rhinos elephants, giraffes and cheetahs. The driver was very skillful at spotting the animals and did not waste any time to find new kinds of animals we hadn't seen. We stayed inside the Serengeti park at the Luxury Heritage Camp and I highly recommend to it to anyone. To stay inside the park listening to the sounds of animals close by is a experience in itself that leads to another level of excitement. I highly recommend using Hello Tanzania as a Safari agency since it has good prices and a extraordinary service compared to other companies. We spent a lot of hours researching and there is a good chance you get ripped off paying more for the same or less good experience.

Memorable One day safari to Akagera
Frank picked me up from my hotel in a timely courteous way & the drive from kigali to Akagera national park was filled with melodious music from the radio in the background & hopeful stories of Rwanda. My safari trip in the park started off on a lucky find of elephant family & kept getting better with sightings of zebra's, impalas, baboons, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, Hogwarts & more. We stopped for a short tea break & a relaxed lunch picnic in the park. Thankfully i accepted to use an air-conditioned SUV for this safari trip of over 6 hours as advised by frank to escape the heat. Had a very informed park guide along this trip as well. And to conclude this memorable adventure frank stopped on our way back to Kigali, for me to buy fresh corn to my fill. He played my favorite artist Bob Marley on the drive back and with the green country side floating past me i knew this memory would stay with me forever.

Good safari experience
The safari was hassle free. They pick you up and drop you from the hotel and in between you don't have to worry about anything. Just make sure that there are back ups in place in case your safari vehicle breaks down for any length of time in the way of compensation or a back up vehicle replacing it. Also enquire about how many people will be in your vehicle. The drivers are fantastic they really do make an effort to make sure you see as much as possible. My wife and I had a good time

Swaziland and Lesotho Road Trip to Remember
Brilliant service from start to finish. Fab place to visit and as we had a relatively short time we managed to see so much. Well planned itinerary, first rate guide who made all the difference. Having taken self drive trips in the past I wish we had used Siya Phambile before, we could have avoided car hire issues, wrong turns and hotels that disappoint ! Already planning our next trip. Thanks so much x
