Review about Mikumi National Park by Andrey Lopatinskiy
Minimum is small, but animals with high concentration. But park seems like as hand made

Fantastic. Much better than expected
The safari experience was amazing. It was our first time and we would definitely do it again although we would stretch our budget and stay in lodges rather than in tents. Everything about the safari was excellent and went way beyond our expectations with the exception of the accommodation but I put that down to our budget.

Best experience of my life
I cannot begin to explain how much fun we had and how much we saw. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Our guide Shabani was so passionate, he cared about the animals he cared about how much fun we had and made sure we had a good time. We engaged with him and tried to have a laugh, he was good fun and relaxed.
We saw EVERYTHING, the big 5; Lions, a family of cheetahs, sooo many elephants close and far, buffalo, rhino, giraffes, flamingos, hippos, wildebeast. We saw a baby wildebeast walk for the first time, so emotional. Some of the world's only tree climbing lions in Lake Manyara National park. The lion king film is actually like a documentary... the lions sit on rocks all the animals hate the hyenas and pumba trots around. The zebras, wildebeest and hippos all hang out together. Ok, there's no song and dance or crazy monkey... but it's basically the same. Check out Instagram for proof of the amazingness @seemaamistry I have also had people contact me on Instagram to book the same safari we did. Lake Manyara, serengeti, and Ngorogoro crater, 4 days 3 nights camping. They bright mattresses and set up our tents every night. The food was good, curry, soup, potatoes, crepes for breakfast, not great if you're vegetarian you get a lot of carrots! The lunches were a bit dry. And they allow 3 litres of water per day pp which was plenty for us. The serengeti campsite was the most rustic shall we say with big bugs, and we were in the national park not surrounded by a fence. But we were absolutely fine. The other campsites were clean and had decent showers. The weather was perfect, hot but not crazy hot and we had an overcast day which was a lot more comfortable. All in all one of the best experiences of my life.

Amazing
We ordered our safari on 5 days, 4 nights. When we landing we were met by owner the company and driver named Samuel. They did our transfer to hotel, and the next morning we start our safari.
Then the next 5 days Samuel was our guide, our driver and our helper. The first park was the Selious Game Reserve.
In this place we spent 1,5 days of our safari. This is a very big park with many may wild animals. 2 nights we slept in Hippo Camp.
The next place we visited was the Mikumi National Reserve. 1 full day we spent here. The Makino is smaller, but here was many animals with more concentration. The next 2 night we slept in Bastian Camp.
All meals were included in tour, also water.
Samuel is very good driver, he answered for all our questions, he seeked animals perfect. And decided all problem,that we met.

6-day fly-in safari
Overall, we had a great first-time safari with TravelPartners. Arranging the safari from London was very easy - I was able to tailor our itinerary over Whatsapp and email quickly and efficiently. We paid half upfront by SWIFT transfer and the rest on the ground. Be aware that taxes can be added on to credit card payments, so cash is better.
We flew into the Serengeti on effectively our own charter flight, which was fabulous! We were then picked up by our driver in the Central Serengeti and managed to see a live cheetah kill in the first hour! Our jeep was great - a Landcruiser with a pop-up top. We spent the next few days in the Serengeti seeing all of the big 5 (aside from the rhino) and chasing the migration. We didn’t quite get a river crossing (it was a bit late in the year for that), but had amazing experiences chasing leopards around in the rain and listening to hippos grunting outside our mobile migration camp in the Northern Serengeti.
We drove out of the Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater, where we saw (at a distance) a black rhino - finally! Our accommodation was mid-high end and was therefore pretty impressive.
The national parks have strict clock-in and out times, which we were unaware of, and this affects how much time you can spend in them on safari, so it is very important to ask for this information up front. As a result, we had an extra day of safari time which we wouldn’t have been able to use if we had not negotiated (while on safari) to include Lake Manyara national park - which worked out well in the end.
As you are now not allowed to go on walking safaris in the Serengeti, you spend a lot of time with your driver, so it’s important to establish a rapport. Anderson, our driver, was very knowledgeable and accomodating. When asked, he was able to offer up lots of interesting facts on what we were seeing.
All in all, we had a great safari experience covering more or less the entire Northern circuit. Flying in saved so much time, allowing us to fit more in. Thank you to the team at TravelPartners!

The answer is Yes...
If you are like me, you are nervous about finding the right tour operator at the right price, online, from a distance. You are wondering if this is the right selection on both needs, price, trust and commitment.
The answer is that yes, Wamba Safaris is the right choice. Hands down, contact them and you will have no regrets.
Immanuel has the best and fastest response rate I have seen. His prices are fair, the itinerary flexible, service top notch and experience...simply the best. The destinations, routes and lodges are great. This company knows what they are doing and their main goal is getting it right for you.
Stanley was our guide....knowledgable, courteous, flexible. He knows what he is doing, where he is going. An absolute pleasure for the week. We saw and experienced more than everything that we hoped.
This was my third safari, with a third safari company in Uganda. Wamba was definitely the best.
Would I go with Wamba Safari when I return? Absolutely and without any hesitation, yes.

I am writing my recent autumn break journey to Tanzania. I had amazing and awesome time in Tanzania. Oh my God. I wish i could stay there in Tanzania more because the treatment i go was no more than a chief guest in a huge function. Thanks to mori tours and Safari for organizing my trip, everything was so perfect. I got unforgettable memory in my life concerned Tanzania because Tanzania people a so lovely and they do real care about people, love and nature. Good enough i learned a little bit swahili language and Tanzanian culture. We went 5 days mt. Kilimanjaro climbing and trekking marangu route and 8 days safari ( lake manyara, Ngorongoro plus Zanzibar). We got a time to see among BIG 5 animals. Happy that we found mori tours and Safaris, who treated us life families. Highly recommended to all travelers to organizing safaris and trekking with mori tours and Safaris.
