Family vacation to escape 2020 Safari
My husband and two teenage children booked a safari tour of Tanzania with Dancing Zebra Safari Co (this was my mine and my husband's second time to travel to Tanzania through Dancing Zebra). Both trips were amazing and different. Jessica knows Africa and has a special love for Tanzania. Our trip consisted of two mobile tented camps and two permanent luxury camps. We love each place for different reasons. The food was superior at each camp. Our guide, Ian, has been a guide for 16 years and it shows in his expertise at finding animals and his driving abilities. He also took such good care of my family! To spend two weeks with my family, watching the awe on my teenagers face as we watched group of cheetahs, or stood quietly in the safari jeep as a huge heard of elephants calmly passed by us (within arms distance). We have been able to travel extensively as a family but both my children said that this trip will always be the MOST memorable trip as a family. Thank you to Jessica and Dancing Zebra Safari Co for giving my family such incredible memories. Tanzania is so beautiful, the landscape, the animals but mostly the people. This experience has left an indelible imprint on my family.

Well organized, top service and great experience!
I did a 6-days Kilimanjaro climb, a city tour in Arusha and two days of safari in the Tarangire and Ngorongoro national parks.
Everything was well organized and worked out perfectly. Paul always replied to my requests quickly and could help me out with everything I asked him for. I would recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions for everyone who want to have a great experience!

The best memory!
Went w my 3 sisters and 4 close friends on a private 13 day safari. When I started looking at Safaris and getting quotes, Issac was the only one who listened to what I wanted to do and he customized it to our needs. Not to mention his pricing was the best. It was a trip of a life time and everything went very smoothly! Hard to do w 8 women. Our guides Anthony and Steve were amazing and knew how to spot all the animals and drive us safely everywhere. Not once were we worried about our safety.
I can not say enough good things about how great they were and how they made our bucket list vacation come true and enjoyable.
All our camps that we stayed at were top notch, service was amazing and food was delicious.
Each camp and safari had a different experience and I think made it extra special.
You can not go wrong with this company!!!!

Wonderful safari!
Everything was just amazing. Manager Silas was super supprotive and provided all the necessary advise prior to booking. We saw all of The Big 5 and much more: lions, elephants, buffalos, giraffes at a very close distance. Our guide was super proffesional and knew where to go in order to find animals. The hotel was also great and very comfortable, with glass walls and swimming pool. Highly recommend this company for organizing your safari trip.

Perfect coordination for a 2d safari in Selous and excellent communication with Abdullah
Abdullah from Uhuru had been an excellent advisor for our 2 days safari in Selous. He proposed several options at very competitive prices, he coordinated the car transfer and then internal flights to reach the safari team in Selous. Multi destination flights was possible to continue our trip in Zanzibar while we started the trip from Dar Es Salaam. Safari team was perfect; I highly recommend Lake Manze team which was passionated and very knowledgeable. Food was of great quality too. We have been able to see almost all animals: car safari and boat safari to see animals drinking in additional to hyppo, croco and birds. Abdullah was always reachable through WhatsApp for coordination and was always very responsive. Thanks a lot for this unforgettable experience!

Dream came true
That was yet the most memorable and fantastic trip in our life. Paul, Ezekiel, and Saymon do a very great job organizing roadside expeditions. We've managed to see a "big five", some of them very-very close. Ngorongoro crater is something unbelievable.

It was the best trip of our life!
When we arrived in Zanzibar, at first we did not know which company to choose for the Safari. We received many offers, but it was Francisco from Lappet Safari that offered the best price and all the important options for an individual tour for us. He aroused the most confidence and already at the stage of coordinating the entire tour took great care of us and tried to do and find everything possible for our trip. For example, my husband and I have been vegetarians for many years, when Francisco found out about this, he immediately clarified what foods we do not eat and agreed with everyone to prepare the appropriate food for us, and it was, and it is very pleasant.
At the Arusha airport we were met on time, helped with our suitcases and took us to our hotel. We checked in and then Francisco suggested that we go to the Masaev market to while away the day and at the same time see the outskirts of the city. We agreed, went for a drive around the city and bought souvenirs for ourselves and our relatives at the fair with pleasure.
In the morning, just on time, our guide Naf came to pick us up in branded clothes (and not like many other companies like a trader from the market), who looks like a super soldier from Hollywood films. As we learned later, he had had 15 years of experience in safari and, believe me, it was very felt. He knows a lot of interesting features about animals and talks about them right away himself, he didn't even have to ask. He also drives a car very safely, is well-versed in parks, so we were always the first near rare animals or generally the only observers, he speaks English well and is always happy to take care of tourists. We fell in love with him from the first minutes of our acquaintance.
The car opens the roof for a better view, they give you the right amount of binoculars, there is also a sanitizer, a special fridge filled with soda and water, and a large bag that holds your lunch and a thermos of hot water for coffee or tea if desired. There are also sockets in the car and you can charge any of your gadgets. The car itself is just a tank on wheels. You can ride on water, mud and anywhere on this colossus very easily and you will never get stuck anywhere.
On the first day in the Serengeti Park, we saw baboons, a huge number of zebras, giraffes, crocodiles, pumbaa, hippos, all kinds of antelopes, bison, griffins and hyenas.
We also stopped in the village of Masaev, where we were given an excursion, and we presented them to the children, toys brought from Russia, stationery and sweets. The experience was indescribable - it was something to sit in a hut of an African tribe with a local resident and listen to his stories about their life.
In the evening we were taken to our campsite, where inside the huge tents everything is like in ordinary hotel rooms - a large four-poster bed, a shower with hot water, a lot of different furniture such as a makeup dressing table or armchairs. The dining room has a separate huge tent, where everything is very beautifully served, chairs are pushed behind you, a special chef prepares - everything is like in a luxury restaurant.
The next day we have already set a plan for ourselves to see the lions and all the cats, and there are a lot of them. The Serengeti Park is very beautiful and huge, the nature in it is constantly changing and Naf showed us beautiful atolls made of stones where lions like to stop and these places really look like in the cartoon "The Lion King". Representatives of the feline family, as it turned out, are more fond of walking in fields and grass. Among them we saw cheetahs, caracal, servals, leopards and 2 little lion cubs. We also saw 6 lions with little lion cubs sleeping on a tree with mighty branches, which while we were filming them - we decided to go down, walk next to our car and go into the sunset. It was something. We also saw a crocodile again, but not in the water, but on land, he was so huge asleep on the sand and we looked at him and could not believe our eyes. Then Naf took us to the lake, which was just a thousand pink flamingos. And we decided to eat our lunch there, lunch in the middle of the lake with a huge number of pink flamingos!
On the third day we went to Ngorongoro and on the way saw large migrations of antelopes, bison, zebras, very often giraffes and antelopes and sometimes jackals came across on the way. Animal migration is certainly very impressive. And having enjoyed it enough, we went in search of rhinos and elephants. There are a lot of bison, antelope, zebras, birds in the Ngorongoro caldera, and after 20 minutes after driving along the crater we knew, thanks to our guide, where 5 rhinos are now and where are the elephants. We were so happy when we saw them! When we left the park, the road went straight along the edge of the crater and at a great height, around a beautiful tropical forest, as if you were in Bali. And going up the mountain, we saw in parting once again a whole family of 14 elephants!
What can I say at the end - Lappet Faced Safaris fully justified our hopes and confidence, fulfilled all our wishes and gave us even more than we expected. Impressions, photos and videos were taken away for a whole year of memories. Only a small part of our adventures is described here.

Marvelous experience
Words alone can not describe the ultimate experience from Safari travels. My trip was marvelous and was a straight ten over ten. The team has a vibrant team, they offer the best services, snacking along the way courtesy of the Company, best team building coach and activities, 24 hour hydration during your activities since the team provides enough water and lastly the best meals that are organized by the company.
I can’t wait to go on another safari with the company. The best in town and full of vibrancy and fun all the way
I love safari Travels❤️❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely amazing adventure!
Booking my safari seemed like a daunting and overwhelming task but it could not have been easier thanks to Mufasa Tours and Travels. I had so many questions and Joseph responded to every single query with such speed and kindness. We could not have had the wonderful experience we had without the skills and services of our amazing guide and driver Joe! His knowledge, care, and absolute skill at finding animals on our drives and maneuvering the rough and rugged Maasai Mara in our huge tank of a Land Cruiser made every day more memorable and enjoyable than the last. Never mind the 4 days safari I booked, I wanted it to go on for 40 days! The customer service between Mufasa and our selected game reserve hotel was the icing on the safari cake too, as we were upgraded to a bigger room upon check in and received a surprise birthday celebration our last day! The care that everyone had in making sure our vacation was special and wonderful seemed so effortless—I will always be so grateful to Mufasa Tours and Travels for making my safari (something I’ve wanted to take my entire life) even better than I ever could’ve imagined it could be. Asante sana for going above and beyond in every aspect of this journey. Cheers to the next one!
