Deniz mlay AKA NJOFU - der Safari Experte! - The very best safari guide I had the pleasure of experiencing was Deniz Mlay, also known as NJOFU. This man knows exactly what he's doing. Not only does he speak excellent English and have extensive knowledge of Tanzania, but he is also respectful and goes out of his way to satisfy his guests. Let me start from the beginning. He first gave us a brief overview to refresh our understanding of the upcoming safari. Then we set off, and during the drive, there were always pleasant conversations, and we learned a lot about the country and the locals. Once on the safari, Deniz Mlay was right at home; he knew the area better than anyone else. He was not only a superb driver but also knew every shortcut and route. He was familiar with the staff at the park entrances, which allowed us more time to see animals in the national parks since he helped us get ahead of others. Deniz Mlay also has an incredibly extensive knowledge of the animals and the nature there. He could answer every question. We saw almost all the animals you could hope to see—INCLUDING A RHINO! Even after the safari, he remained helpful, doing everything to meet our needs. For instance, when we wanted to buy souvenirs, he took us to the local museum to ensure we didn't overpay. I can only recommend this safari guide/ expert and would gladly go on another safari with Deniz Mlay NJOFU anytime!
