Incredibly unprofessional tour operator ruined my entire day
Daudi was incredibly unprofessional - he did not arrive on time for my agreed upon scheduled pickup nor responded to any of my subsequent texts or phone calls over the next hour. Eventually, I gave up on my dream safari and missed the scheduled 6 am train.
Only then did Daudi respond, eventually showing up at my hotel 3 hours late, after I was resigned to frantically finding a new tour operator last minute for my last free day available of my business trip.
I believe I may have been scammed - Daudi asked for all of the cash upfront the week prior (thankfully I declined), sent me WhatsApp photos of his supposed IDs promising that I could keep them as insurance (the birth dates did not match), and did not offer or return my deposit.
I would strongly encourage other travelers to select a more reliable tour operator to ensure that your dream safari comes true as scheduled!

Posted on Feb 11, 2026Dear Desmond — thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry the booking did not go as you expected and I regret your disappointment. For the record and to explain our side of the story:
• The trip was confirmed with a 30% deposit (paid via Pesapal). Our terms (sent at booking) state the deposit secures supplier bookings and is non‑refundable. We did not require full cash payment up front — payments for this booking were processed through Pesapal.
• The original plan was the 06:00 train on 31/01/2026. After that service was missed, you agreed in writing to a revised 08:09 departure. To protect the guest experience I offered to upgrade the booking to a 2‑day/1‑night stay at Mikumi (at our cost), rebooked train tickets for two people (client + company escort/guide), and confirmed park entry and accommodation.
• I personally agreed to travel from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi to escort the trip. Our vehicle and guide were on standby at Four Points by Sheraton at the agreed pickup time.
• Shortly before departure you cancelled, telling us you “didn’t trust” us and that you would use another company. Despite sending proof of the accommodation and making additional concessions beyond the original booking, you did not cooperate or propose an alternative — the last message we received was “good day.”
• Because we had already paid suppliers and rebooked services, we incurred non‑recoverable costs (train tickets and rebooking fees, park entry and permits, accommodation reservations, and operational readiness). Those costs were covered by the paid deposit in line with our booking terms.
• To verify our account, we can provide Pesapal payment confirmation, train ticket receipts (original and rebooked), park and accommodation confirmations, WhatsApp/email logs showing the agreed revised departure and the cancellation, and an operations log showing our team on standby.
We want every guest to have a great safari and take feedback seriously. If you would like to review the documentation or discuss this further, please contact me directly and I will respond promptly.
Best regards,
Daudi Gembe

wonderful 3 days safari in neyerere national park
we did a 3 days safari trip in nyerere national park (seleous reserve) with asentebibitours in january 2026. everything was wonderful. Haji the driver picked us up at our hotel the first day at dar es salaam early in the morning, then we drove about 4h to reach the lodge close to the park. very confortable room with a huge bed. we met Gladness who was our guide for the 3 days. during the afternoon we did a 3h safari boat we saw many birds, hippos and crocodiles. then next day from 7 am to 6 pm game drive in the park we saw hippos, elephants, lions, buffalo, hyenna, giraphes, antelops, baboons, etc... it was our fisrt safari ever and it was like the best day of our lives!!! really really great!!! final day we had a walking safari and then a Masai village visit, very nice also! and Haji drove us back to dar es salaam and dropped us at the ferry station to zanzibar. everything was perfect from the booking to the end: transport, food, lodge, etc... and Haji and Gladness were so kind, they took really good care of us and were very helpful, real professionalism all the time with a lot of knowledge. we recommand this tour highly and we will be back!!

Extremely kind, dynamic and fun!
We had the best time ever with Asante Bibi Tours! We booked a 3-days trip at Mikumi, Masai village and Chizua waterfalls and everything was perfectly planned.
Daudi and Pray booked all our accommodations and transportation and every little problem we had was quickly solved. Even when the train was stuck at the train station, Daudi helped us get on the first train available even without being there!
Pray and our driver for the safari did everything they could to find all the animals, even the rare ones and we couldn’t be more grateful. Having lunch in the savana had been such an experience!
The quality of food and of the accomodation was great, the overall experience was worth the price spent.
Everyone was perfectly on time and greatly organised.
We strongly suggest to have a tour with Asante Bibi!!

Reliable
We recently did a 3-day safari trip with my partner and overall we absolutely loved the experience. Our stay at Camp Bastian exceeded our expectations — the room we were offered had a private bathroom, air conditioning, and was very comfortable. The food included in the all-inclusive plan was delicious, traditional, and well prepared.
All the staff we met were lovely, welcoming, and very friendly, including our guide, who made the safari even more enjoyable. We really liked the safari itinerary, and we highly recommend the 3.6-kilometre hike to Chizua Waterfall — it was an amazing experience and definitely a highlight of the trip.
We were a bit sceptical at first about taking the train, but we were pleasantly surprised by how nice it was, even in economy class. It honestly felt like a European train.
Overall, the trip was absolutely worth every euro we paid, and we highly recommend booking with Asante Bibi.
