Stephanie answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly. She is very knowledgeable about Africa
I have travelled to about 40 countries, but I have never had experiences like I did in Africa. It exceeded my expectations. We stayed in beautiful accommodation with wonderful scenery. the guides were very knowledgeable. Seeing the animals up close with only our vehicle was amazing.
I also enjoyed learning about the people and their culture. the only experience I didn't like was getting up at 6:00am in the freezing cold, but once I put on my 5 layers I started to warm up! I would recommend Encompass Africa who were first class. Stephanie came up with an individual tour just for my friend and I when I said I wanted to see Cape Town, Victoria Falls and the animals. Stephanie was polite, reliable and enthusiastic.

WOW - The best adventure ever !
My husband and I spent 10 days traveling with Bumhi Safaris on an overland camping adventure from Botswana to Zimbabwe. The camping experience put us right in the heart of the most amazing remote places as we traveled through Chobe National Park, Moremi the Okavango Delta, Suvute, Kasane and then on to Victoria Falls. It was the most incredible way to see amazing wildlife and absorb into your surroundings as you camp under the stars of the African skies or sit in amazement as the sun sets and rises with glorious hues of orange, pink and blue. We saw: hunting wild dogs, leopards, and leopard cubs, male lions, female lions and cubs, rhino, elephants, zebra, hippos, buffalo and alligators. Our guides knew every name of every bird and for you twitchers out there we even saw a Lesser Jacana. All our needs were catered for in terms of comfort and safety. There was great food cooked by the amazing Chris and Tendi such as freshly baked bread and sponges on the campfire were an added unexpected treat. I still want the peanut butter chicken recipe Tendi !! Traveling with two amazing, warm, friendly and funny expert guides was if fact our privilege. We cannot thank you all enough and we will be back for a Mozabiqu. Collect memories not things x

Well Designed 2-Day Safari
I came into contact with Hello, Tanzania! through Safari Bookings and their physical office in the lobby of the Double Tree Hilton Hotel in Dar Es Salaam. Mwajabu and her son Mohammad were both prompt, effective communicators and very generously accommodating of booking a 2-day safari for one person in less than a week’s time. I had a great, safe driver for the long haul to the park and a funny, knowledgeable and charismatic guide once at Mikumi (hi, Bob!). Would definitely come prepared with questions for Bob- he knows a lot but is not one for waxing eloquent unless you ask. The itinerary is well-designed and allows for ample time in Mikumi National Park, which is full of large wildlife. Though the vehicle used for the transfer and the 4X4 for the park were both older and a bit run down, accommodations at Camp Bastian were beyond stellar: great food, comfortable bed, gorgeous ambiance, WiFi and hot water. Overall, I would say this is a perfect 4-star safari option- everything went smoothly and effectively in this no-frills travel package. I had a wonderful experience seeing grassland and big game during my limited time in Dar Es Salaam.

Breath taking experience of a life time which we highly recommend.
What a memorable experience this was. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable (his name is Six) he was pleasant and trustworthy. He drove well and felt like family to us by the end of the safari.
The whole experience was majestic and we can not recommend this safari company enough. Get in touch with Peter the tour operator as he very helpful. They even catered for our vegan diet requirements and prepared a cake for our wedding anniversary.
I urge you to book with best day safaris if you are looking for an above average experience.
Thank you to Six and Peter.

He was an excellent guide, always on time, a very safe driver and did his best to provide us with the best wildlife viewing possible, while at the same time respecting the animals and also other visitors. He also shared some very interesting information and we always felt excellently cared of by him. Highly recommend!
