Very professional, well organized!
We used Dallas Safaris for a one-day fly in safari to Mikumi national park. After being picked up from our hotel in Zanzibar, with the driver arriving ahead of the agreed time and waiting patiently for us, we flew with a local charter plane to the park. On landing the guide, Riccardo, was already waiting with the safari vehicle and after a quick toilet stop we started our drive. Riccardo was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, sharing his knowledge and passion for the park. We managed to see loads of wildlife, including lions, and after a nice lunch we went on another drive before flying back to Zanzibar where the same driver was waiting to take us back to the hotel. Overall a superb experience and truly very well organized!!

Great holidays
We loved our safari! Our guide was fantastic and we were able to see so many animals. The safari agency was very helpful and even printed some documents we had forgotten. We highly recommend them.

A wonderful guide and host
I have known Geoffrey for many years, first as a colleague within the safari industry, and more recently as an independent guide. He is an extremely knowledgeable, entertaining and capable host whom I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a trusted local, an intuitive guide and a roadworthy 4x4 - and for whom booking with the guide directly is a priority. He has taken wonderful care of me and my family and friends on safari in the Maasai Mara and Amboseli, always avoiding the crowds and bringing out the very best of the destination, with deep inside experience. Geoffrey stands as a beacon of hope for other aspirational local guides wanting to start their own businesses, and I wish him well

Informative
We did the 2 Days / 1 Night Private Safari (Tarangire + Maasai crater + Ngorongoro Crater), and it was a highlight of our trip to Tanzania.
On Day 1, we explored Tarangire National Park, which was full of wildlife—huge herds of zebras, so many elephants, and even lions. The landscape with the giant baobab trees was just beautiful. Lunch inside the park was a really nice touch, and in the afternoon we visited a Maasai, which was such a unique and eye-opening cultural experience. That night, we stayed at a lovely lodge in Karatu with a great dinner and a show.
On Day 2, we headed into the Ngorongoro Crater, and wow—it was breathtaking! We got to see hippos up close by the water, more lions, and so many other animals in such a stunning setting. Having a picnic lunch by the hippo pool felt surreal.
Both of our guides were absolutely amazing—knowledgeable, friendly, and they made us feel so welcome the entire time. The food, organization, and overall experience were excellent.
If you’re looking for a short safari that still gives you a full taste of Tanzania’s wildlife and culture, I highly recommend this trip.

The best!
I booked my trip with MoAfrika. Their staff are very helpful especially Wisdom and Linie. They make sure everything in place and well communicated all the plans. I really enjoy staying in Dumela. The foods are amazing and game driven definitely makes my trip memorable.

So nice caring and kind! Really good job
I would totally recommend this company and our driver!!!
Masai Mara was our highlight and already on the first evening we saw so many animals. Also our driver put so much effort into finding the animals we asked him for that was really appreciated.
The thing I would change about our tour is the one day Lake Nukuru part. It’s a long drive for only 2-3 hours in the park. For us it wasn’t worth it. I would totally recommend another day in Masai Mara or 2 days in Lake Nukuru to make the drive worth it.
Another highlight was the island visit after Lake Nukuru. Doing a walking safari was so much fun!! Would totally recommend to book on top if you visit Lake Nukuru in the end.
Also it ended up being very cold and even rainy so if you go in August it’s really important to bring warm clothes and a rain coat!

Unforgettable
The experience couldn’t have been better.
Mohamed is a great guide. Thanks to his professionalism, we managed to see the Big Five. A huge leopard with her cubs, posing majestically on a rock very close to us, a cheetah and a lioness hunting, and above all, I was able to fulfill my dream of seeing rhinos.
Mohamed was always attentive, making sure we were comfortable and that we saw as much as possible. He worked very hard to help me achieve my dream, and I am deeply grateful to him.
All the accommodations were excellent, and the staff was very kind. Sleeping in the Serengeti is truly wonderful.
Asante sana!

Truly amazing safari experience!
Ai Lin, Malvika and team has been fabulous in helping us to plan our honeymoon visit to Tanzania from initial introduction to lodge selection. We had zero idea in the beginning and they were super patient and detailed when answering our questions. They set up a whatsapp group before our departure and reminded us all important items. The safari experience was superb and the camps/lodged we lived in were great. The ground operators Asilia/Siringit were very professional and the guides were amazing! Overall it is a truly delightful experience!

10/10 FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE & SERVICE!!!
With thousands of Safari companies in Tanzania to choose from I was getting overwhelmed with researching. It took me a couple months but I'm grateful I came upon a Youtube video featuring Jasmine & Sarafika Tours. After seeing her commitment to offering an authentic experience that benefits & dignifies locals, I knew I FINALLY found the company who's values aligned with our's. I can't speak highly enough of the owner Jasmine's professionalism & attentiveness from the planning stages to after we arrived back home! My husband & I were celebrating our 15 yr wedding anniversary. Unknown to us, she even arranged for extra special touches at each hotel/lodge location that blew us away. As for our private guide Kiki....He is so genuine, kind, caring, light hearted, very knowledgable, respectful, patient & humble. We had a lot of fun with him. He got us close to the animals yet maintained a respectful distance that made us feel very secure with his intuition & experience. From the airport pick up to drop off & everything in between, Sarafika made it a seamless, worry free, best vacation for us. Do yourself a huge favor...End your safari company shopping now & book with Sarafika! You'll be happy you did.
