Awesome and Exciting!!!! Life Changing!!!! - Me and my husband went on a 5 day Group Mid-Range Safari in Tanzania organized by Mohammed Haroun. We are from Chicago. We had the best time ever. Our guide name was Simba. When I tell you there was no question he could not answer with a smile. So knowledgeable. He was able to track down or find out about every animal we wanted to see and some we didnt. There were 6 people in our group. We met very interesting people from Spain, Poland, Germany and Canda. We are still in touch with them now. We were able to see the big 5. When we thought we wouldnt see the Rhino he found him. Simba was the best. He stopped when we wanted to take pictures and he never complained about all the questions. He dropped us off at different lodges and gave good instructions about pick up and what was in store. The lodges that we stayed in were budget to luxury. Some of our group stayed in tents. The food was great at the lodges and they always made us feel so so welcome and like they were so happy we came. The lodges we stayed at were Ngedere,Matawi and Rhino. The lunches on the Safari were prepared by our own chef and they were great too. Simba made sure we had plenty of water and took breaks when necessary. I cant say enough positive points about this trip. Just know you will not only have fun but be prepared for a great education about the habitats you are visiting. My favorite was the Serengeti and we went there 2 days. It was so beautiful and the animals were out everywhere like they were expecting us. There was never a dull moment. As soon as we watched a species for a while we were flying off to another sighting. You just never new when one would get spotted.. Even the weather was great. No rain and not very hot. Spend the money and the time. It was well worth it. It will be a trip of magic happenings that you will treasure forever. Hope you get or ask for Simba. It will be a life changing experience.!!!

Amazing 5-day Safari - We had an amazing time during our 5-day Safari. We were lucky to have Silas as our guide for the whole experience and made our time in Tanzania memorable. We have been able to see everything thanks to Silas experience as a guide and his concern about our wellbeing.
We truly recommend this experience, thanks a lot Silas!

Omar and Victor made our trip memorable - Couldn’t have imagined how good this trip was going to turn out, and I do think what made a difference was the people we were with. All started great, we went to Serengeti and started to see amazing animals and experiencing all that Tanzania has to offer. From the beginning, Omar was amazing giving us a lot of information, >spotting amazing animals from FAR< (eagle eyes)
After a time, we were delighted with our first meal that Victor prepared for us and oh my, how can we have this type of meal, and we continue having those amazing meals ALL the trip (he even made cake and pizza for us, soups were amazing)
I can tell you a lot of the trip about why I am amazed by it (animals and landscapes)…. But I can say that our trip was 100% worth it.
They changed our itinerary for the best. All was good with the money transactions and they were very helpful before our trip.
100% recommended and ask directly for this amazing tour guide and chef! 🦁 Thank you for everything! We will try to be back or send a lot of friends to this country.

Great Tour - We had 5 amazing days with Lu, who was an extraordinary good guide and driver - this was important in the rainy days in Serengeti and the mud. He tried everything he can to show us as much animals as possible, explained a lot and it was fun to be with him. He had remarkable knowledge about birds and plants as well which made the days very informative.
We had a group tour which was ok, however mobilization in the morning took sometimes much longer as expected.
Mid range mean that we did not stay in camping spots in Serengeti and Ngorongoro but at Glamping or a lodge, this was a nice add-on to the tour.
Also, in terms of organization, i want to say that this was a very positive experience. I was contacted timely regarding pick-up from/to Airport (not part of the booked tour but can be arrange in addition with the tour operator). I can highly recommend to make this tour with Travel africa safari agency

Disappointing - This was a great experience and our tour guide Omary was great, but , instead of the 6 people safari we had 7 which was too much with luggage and lunch box daily. The truck was packed. And having the lunch box if you were sitting in the back slide about hitting you on every bump and turn was more than frustrating. It also made standing up in the back very difficult and accessing the cold box. It seemed the people who made up our tour had actually booked with other tour agencies so it also meant a long round of picking up and dropping off every evening and every morning which made for long days. It would have been nice if we had mostly been staying in the same accommodation and sadly our guide did not stay with us any of the nights, which is seemed most other groups in our accommodation did.We also arrived one night, and they didnt even know we were coming, so we ended up , eventually being put in twin accommodation when actually we had booked single accommodation and this hasn't been taken into account by the agency even though we did discuss this on our return. I didn't see any other safari truck so packed with people. As we also joined the tour group when the others had already done a day we felt like intruders and never really introduced to the group. So I would like to say if you have Omary as a guide you will be very lucky but just beware how these agencies work.
