Ineffable sums it all up for me.
I enjoyed the hospitality, went with a group of friends and we left with smiles. Simply amazing and a recommendation.

Highly recommend
Booking the game safari was easy and well organized from start to finish. Communication was clear, the team was responsive, and all details (pick-up, accommodation, meals, game drives) were exactly as promised. The safari itself was unforgettable amazing wildlife sightings such as a lion, a knowledgeable guide, and stunning landscapes. Highly recommend this experience!l

Fantastic accommodation choices
We booked our honeymoon trip about 6 weeks in advance, which we appreciate is pretty late. We decided to use Off2Africa as they were able to give a more detailed itinerary, they worked with our budget and advised use how to make the most out of it. Originally we enquired about Botswana, but due to the late booking & limited availability they advised we’d get a lot more for our money by going to Zimbabwe. They also sought out some of the best honeymoon deals.
The accomodation we went to was incredible! At Neimba lodge we saw hundreds of elephants as we ate our dinner and was really remote & we barely saw other safari trucks.
Old Lodge in Vic Falls was the most honeymoon style accommodation you could get - wish we had stayed longer!
The only reason I’ve dropped a star is because we didn’t hear from the company at all during our trip, which we thought was a little odd. We were unable to check into our flight one day, so reached out to the contact, but they were on leave. It was all fine, just a little surprising they didn’t reach out during the trip and ask how it was going etc.

great experience
I would warmly recommend to do a safari with Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris! The manager Derrick is really caring about his customers and do response very quickly to any questions.
The trip was well organized, but with some small complications.
But in total it was such a nice experience! I had a really good time which I will never forget!! Thank you!! Asante sana! :)

Tour operator had gave kind explanation of animals and tried his best to show us various animals.
The tour guide and the service was perfect,
but the lunch box is very bad.
The money was valuable.

The tour guide is passionate
Everything is good, but lunch is poor so we can’t eat anything.

Wonderful nature and animals, questionable administration and policies
First, we had a wonderful time on the safari! We saw many different animals and the surrounding nature was stunning. On our first day, we flew from Zanzibar to Kogatende for the start of our safari. As soon as we landed, we were able to see many different animals such as Hippos and a lot of wildebeests. Furthermore, we patently waited for the wildebeests to cross the river, which sadly in the end did not happen. On our second day, we were on an all-day safari drive with the chance to see the big 5 and ugly 5. On our third day, we were at the Ngorongoro Crater, quite the side to be seen. And on the last day, we had another half-day safari drive before we headed back to the airport in Arusha to take our flight back to Zanzibar.
Now what was not as nice as the animals we saw was the administration behind the safari. First, we only received our flight confirmation the day before the safari started. Which led to us having to pay for extra baggage because we were not informed about the baggage policy beforehand by Nuhu Nari despite explicitly asking for it. Over all, the communication and organisation by Nuhu was an absolute disaster. He was very short in his answers and did not answer all the questions in a satisfying way. We paid part of the tour in cash upon arrival in Arusha, even tough Nuhu promised us a receipt we did not receive that until this day.
Although the driver was a lovely guy, he was a bit unfriendly on the last day. He was very demanding that the entire group of us (four people) write a review of the tour. Despite us telling him that we would do so, once we arrived at the hotel that day, he kept on promising that we would do it right now on the spot. What we also found a bit greedy was the tip policy, of which we were only informed once the safari started. At the end of our four-day safari, we tipped the driver 100 USD, which is, in our view, fair for the time we spent with him. According to their policy, he expected 320 USD (20 USD per person, per day), which I find to be a ridiculous amount of tip and also a very questionable policy. When we handed him the tip money at the end, he also told us that he expected more money because of the policy. Very unprofessional, a tip should never be seen as granted!

The tour operator was professional, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience smooth, enjoyable
National Park! The scenery is absolutely stunning, with lush forests, open plains, and beautiful views of Mount Meru. One of the highlights was the incredible variety of birdlife.
While it can be a bit difficult to spot some of the larger animals up close, the peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty of the park more than make up for it. It's a great destination for anyone who enjoys nature, photography, and quieter safaris
