An unforgettable experience! - You can hardly put this safari into words. It was incredibly impressive and great! The experience starts on the outbound flight when you board the little Cessna! Once there you are immediately welcomed and the division into the vehicles is already organized. We had the Nixon guide and we definitely couldn't have got a better one. He has incredible expertise, was able to answer all questions and explains everything about the animals in the park and their peculiarities throughout. His goal was to get us as close as possible to the animals and he mastered that brilliantly. He knew exactly when which animals were to be found where, so we were damn close to the elephants and a lion. It doesn't get any closer and his knowledge has given us a sense of security in these close moments to the animals because he has told us exactly how to behave. A big thank you to Nixon! This experience is highly recommended and worth every penny!

An unforgettable experience with indescribable moments - Flight+Safari: THANK YOU for an unforgettable experience! Nixon - our hero. He knows about wildlife, explains incredibly exactly what is happening at the moment and sees animals where we are all still looking. He gave us great moments and memories. He knows about each animal, explains their history and how they behave in the wildlife. Thanks to him we were allowed to watch the elephants bathe and he was always in the right place with us “just in time”. You can tell he loves his job. Mikumi National Park: Very nice that it is a park that is STILL very original. An incredibly endless expanse as well as special trees. We were a group of 6 people + Nixon and very often felt like we were alone in the park. ! Hopefully the construction of a resort will not interfere too much with the habitat of the wildlife ! How to get from Zanzibar : Huge. Landing and take-off on the sand with a small plane for 12 passengers. Our pilot and copilot had their fun overtaking (Traffic in the Air)

Trip of a lifetime! One Day Safarii with Tom! - We’ve just returned from an exhilarating day trip on the best safari in Tanzania— Safari Gateway with Tomasz Dworczyk and his team! An unforgettable adventure that truly felt like a dream come true! From the moment we were picked up at our hotel, everything was impeccably organized. The day was filled with delicious food, skilled drivers, and fantastic facts, topped off by the incredible talent of our professional photographer, Tom and his team! Our journey in park began at 7 AM and lasted until 5 PM, as we traversed the breathtaking landscapes of the national park in comfortable, well-maintained jeeps. With experienced drivers at the helm, we navigated through dry riverbeds and shimmering lakes, all while keeping our eyes peeled for the majestic wildlife that calls this place home. The excitement of spotting animals in their natural habitat was truly electrifying, and Tom was there every step of the way, capturing stunning photographs that we will cherish for a lifetime. The organization of this experience was top-notch, showcasing his fantastic work with the local people and their dedication to sharing the beauty of Tanzania. We witnessed the full spectrum of wildlife, from graceful giraffes to powerful elephants, and scary lions, every moment was filled with awe and wonder. If you’re yearning for an adventure beyond description, this is it! Don’t hesitate—if you want to experience the thrill of seeing animals in their natural environment, this safari is an absolute must. And for an unforgettable experience, look no further than Tom! Check out Tomasz Dworczyk socials to see his amazing work —your adventure awaits!

Perfect organ, breathtaking wildlife and a first-class guide an unforgettable safari experience of the highest class! - The pickup was done to the minute. The flight was great – it was a special experience to Trips in a small plane After landing, we were assigned our guide, Felix. His English was excellent so we could understand everything without any problems. He provided us with a lot of background information that was previously unknown to us. During the several-hour tour, we were able to experience everything this breathtaking landscape has to offer: Elephants, lions, giraffes, wild boars, monkeys and hippos. It was an incredible experience! Absolutely 5 out of 5 stars. Thank you very much for this unforgettable adventure!
