An Excellent, Safe and Knowledgeable Safari Experience in Tarangire
We had an excellent experience with Blue Mist Safaris on our trip to Tarangire National Park on 22nd January, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
From start to finish, everything was handled professionally and smoothly. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the wildlife, the park, and Tanzania in general. It genuinely enhanced the whole experience and made the game drive both educational and enjoyable.
The driving was very safe and comfortable, which is something we really appreciated throughout the day. We felt well looked after at all times. The food provided was good and well organised, adding to the overall comfort of the trip.
Overall, it was an excellent all-round safari experience. My wife and I truly enjoyed every moment, and we would happily choose Blue Mist Safaris again and recommend them to anyone visiting Tanzania.

Amazing safari experience
We participated in a 4-day, 3-night safari tour. The food and accommodation were impeccable, and the tour operator always kept in touch and looked out for us. Our guide and driver were cheerful and always entertained us, and the much-anticipated game drive was fantastic. I highly recommend this tour company. We had no problems and it was a wonderful trip.

Incredible guide. Fantastic experience.
John is simply the best. Hands down one of my best travel experiences.
Booking a safari is a big deal. And so much of it depends on the trust you build with your guide before and during the experience. John made our trip one of the best we’ve ever taken - and we’ve traveled a lot.
He’s professional, friendly, and - importantly - knows what he’s doing. He’s a trained guide, when many of the others are drivers without the knowledge of nature. He consistently found the best spots all while respecting nature and the animals. On safari, this is so important to the experience - we all want those great shots, but it can’t come at the expense of blocking animals from hunting or stressing them out. John got us the amazing up close moments while keeping a profound respect for the parks and its animals. It felt so good to come away knowing that we did it right. That’s thanks to John.
Additionally, he’s warm and friendly and open. We got so lucky - and you’d be so lucky to be reading this right now and choose him :)

Absolutely superbly organised tour
I spent a few days travelling alone in Tanzania in January and chose Serengeti African Tours. They responded quickly, made me a good offer and I made my decision straight away.
It was definitely a very good decision. Inviolata always responded very quickly, everything was clarified and, in the end, everything went smoothly and reliably. The transfers were on time, the driver Melitta gave her all, and the meals were extremely tasty and plentiful. There is absolutely nothing that could have gone better.
PS: In the end, we saw everything there was to see. Big 5, Ugly 5 – no wishes remained unfulfilled. Definitely recommended!
And oh yes: at the end, we even received a nice T-shirt as a souvenir. Not essential, but a nice gesture – simply perfect!

Brian and the Itinerary was Amazing
I had an amazing experience with Lulu.
Brian, my guide, went above and beyond in ensuring I had the best trip possible. You are truly lucky if you are able to get him as your guide. He was great company on the road, always extremely helpful and kind, and had great knowledge about the animals and places we visited.
On the trip I saw lots of animals. From the chimps in Kibale, the gorillas in Bwindi, and elephants, hippos and tree climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth. It was beyond what I had hoped for.
The accommodation and food was also great, with Brian’s recommendations always being excellent.
Can’t recommend Lulu and Brian enough, they are great!!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Incredibly attentive, professional, and kind
You’d be crazy to book with anyone else. I’ve traveled a lot - and quite a bit through Africa - and Nkollo is one of my best experiences. Genuinely.
From the beginning, Mercy was quick to respond and point me in the right direction. She answered all my questions and made sure all the payments and invoices were clear as well.
John was our guide and was exceptional. He took us to the best spots, was so friendly and professional. Importantly, for those who want an authentic and responsible guide, he respects nature. When other companies went illegally off path - cutting animals’ ability to hunt or stressing them - he found the best spots AND respected the animals and nature. This is so important for the experience and for the continued viability of these incredible parks.
And they are Tanzanian owned! You can’t go wrong! BOOK BOOK BOOK!

Julius was the best game driver ever
Jocky is the most affordable budget safari for the Masai Mara. All safari companies and all hotels travel to the same places but what makes it special is the guide you’re with. Julius was our guide for a group safari. He was so funny, joyful, good at driving, and is very famous ;) He also helped me get transportation to Naivasha after my safari and helped me get a cab to get myself on the correct Matatu back to Nairobi. He has good connections and was good at spotting and finding animals. Hopefully you get Julius because he is the best! Book with Jocky for a budget safari to save money but get 14/10 service!

🏔️ Amboseli Safari: A Journey Beyond Expectations
My trip to Amboseli National Park was supposed to be about Mount Kilimanjaro and elephants, but it turned out to be so much more. It was a day filled with adrenaline, breathtaking views, and warm cultural connections.
🐘 Wildlife Highlights
• The Icons: Seeing the massive, snow-capped silhouette of Kilimanjaro for the first time was deeply emotional. Surrounded by the park's famous elephant herds, including adorable calves playing nearby, it felt like a scene from a movie.
• The Thrill of the Hunt: The absolute highlight was a rare cheetah sighting. My guide spotted it from afar, shouted, and floored the accelerator across the plains. Arriving just in time to see this predator in the wild was a total adrenaline rush!
• Diverse Encounters: From elegant giraffes blending into acacia trees to hippos lounging in the swamps, the park was teeming with life, including zebras, wildebeests, and vibrant birdlife.
🍱 Beyond the Game Drive
• Picnic with a View: Lunch at Observation Hill was surreal—eating sandwiches while watching elephants roam below, with nothing but the sound of the wild wind around us.
• Cultural Immersion: Visiting a Maasai Village was a heartwarming experience. Joining their traditional jumping dance and learning about their way of life inside their manyatta houses added a beautiful human connection to the trip.
🦁 Closing Thoughts
While the lions remained elusive this time, it only gives me a perfect reason to return. A huge shoutout to my incredible guide whose passion and "maniac" driving made sure we didn't miss a single moment of the action!
