Our Dream Honeymoon with Oldbeast Vacations
Our honeymoon with Oldbeast Vacations was nothing short of magical an experience we’ll cherish forever. From the very first message, Mwanne made everything feel effortless with thoughtful and personalized planning. Every little detail was perfectly taken care of, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the adventure of a lifetime.
When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Mwanne, whose kindness instantly made us feel at home. The briefing about the days ahead was both helpful and reassuring it was clear from that moment that we were in the best hands.
And then came Frank, our incredible guide. Words can hardly describe how amazing he was so knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about wildlife. He always knew exactly where to take us for the best views, and thanks to him, we saw the Big Five, countless other animals, and even witnessed the Great Migration at the Mara River a scene so powerful it brought tears to our eyes. If you’re planning a safari, ask for Frank. He truly made our honeymoon unforgettable.
Every lodge we stayed in was beautiful and welcoming, each with its own charm and breathtaking surroundings. The food was delicious everywhere we went, and every meal felt like part of the adventure. One of the most touching moments was our visit to a Maasai village, where we were honored to learn about their rich traditions and warm way of life.
This journey exceeded every dream we had. It wasn’t just a safari it was an experience that touched our hearts. We would wholeheartedly recommend Oldbeast Vacations to anyone searching for a truly unforgettable, soul-stirring adventure in Tanzania.

From Planning to Wildlife: A Honeymoon Beyond Expectations
Our honeymoon with Oldbeast Vacations was nothing short of magical. It was an experience that touched our hearts and created memories we’ll cherish forever. From the very first moment, Mwanne’s thoughtful and personalized planning took all the stress away, allowing us to simply immerse ourselves in the wonder ahead.
The warmth and kindness we felt when Mwanne, the operations manager, greeted us on day one set the tone for the entire trip. His detailed briefing made us feel safe, cared for, and excited, knowing every little detail was taken care of with love and precision.
Charles, our incredible guide, truly brought the safari to life. His passion, knowledge, and genuine kindness made every moment unforgettable. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to witness the majestic Big Five and countless other awe-inspiring animals in their natural home. One of the most breathtaking moments was seeing the Great Migration at the Mara River crossing. It was a scene so powerful and humbling that it moved us deeply. If you’re dreaming of a safari, please ask for Charles. He’s more than a guide; he’s a keeper of unforgettable moments.
Our accommodations felt like a home away from home. They were comforting, beautifully set amidst nature, and welcoming in a way that made us feel completely relaxed. Every meal was a delight, nourishing not just our bodies but our spirits as well. One of the most touching experiences was visiting a Maasai village. There, we connected with the people, their traditions, and their way of life. It was an encounter that opened our eyes and hearts.
This journey went beyond all our hopes. Oldbeast Vacations gave us more than a honeymoon. They gifted us a soul-stirring adventure that we will carry with us forever. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a safari experience that is truly unforgettable.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Oldbeast Vacations!
From start to finish, this was the most amazing experience! Everything—from the incredible wildlife we encountered, to the delicious food, to the friendly and hardworking staff—completely exceeded our expectations.
Our Safari Guide, Julius, was absolutely outstanding! He always found the best vantage points to observe the animals in their natural habitats. He gave us time to truly enjoy watching them eat, play, and interact as families—nursing, grooming, and more. His expertise made the experience even more meaningful.
One thing we hadn’t anticipated was the variance in weather. We highly recommend asking about the climate in each area you’ll visit. Most days were sunny with highs in the 70s (°F), starting cooler in the 50s, but we did have a few rainy and chilly days—especially in the evenings. Layered clothing is key!
Surprisingly, we didn’t encounter any mosquitos, likely thanks to the cooler weather. As a result, we didn’t need bug spray or preventative medicine, but it’s still wise to check based on your travel season. Also, sun exposure was minimal since all game drives were in enclosed Jeeps, and there was no walking allowed in the habitats.
A quick heads-up: The drives can be quite bumpy and dusty due to mostly dirt and rocky roads—part of the adventure!
As for accommodations—fantastic across the board! We stayed in a mix of hotel-style lodges and luxury canvas tents. We opted for the luxury package, and even though hot water wasn’t available at a couple of locations, everything else was exceptional. The staff at every stop were welcoming, professional, and truly went above and beyond.
And the food… wow! While each site offered its own twist on the menu, most meals were similar and designed to suit all dietary needs. Breakfast and dinner were typically buffet-style, with plenty to choose from. Lunch during game drives varied—some hot meals, but mostly boxed lunches. While the quality of box lunches varied slightly, they were always very generous in portion size. Trust us—you will not go hungry!
We cannot recommend Oldbeast Vacations highly enough—and if you have the chance to request Julius as your Safari Guide, do it! His knowledge, passion, and warm personality made our journey truly unforgettable.

An amazing guy that blessed us with all his knowledge
Oldbeast Vacations made our first safari a dream, they planned everything according to our specific situation.
They were here on time and I could say a lot about the tour, we have seen many animals and Deo (our tour operator) gave us so many interesting information and facts.
We loved the cheetah.

Fantastic 14-Day Safari Trip – North Tanzania & Zanzibar
From the very first request for a quotation to our return flight home, everything was perfectly arranged by Mwanne Arts and our amazing driver/guide Paul.
Paul is a highly skilled, calm, and professional guide who truly goes the extra mile to make your game drives unforgettable. He’s not only passionate about wildlife, but also genuinely helpful—even supporting other guides and organizations on the road. Thanks to him, we saw many animals we’d never seen before and learned so much about them.
One of the highlights was visiting an authentic Maasai tribe, where we were dressed in traditional clothing and joined in their dances. We also took a guided hike at Lake Natron with a Maasai guide to see flamingos up close—an unforgettable experience.
The accommodations were stunning, each carefully chosen to enhance the safari mood. Imagine zebras and other wildlife walking right outside your tent or lodge! The food was excellent too, with delicious local dishes served with warm hospitality.
We can’t recommend the hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti enough—absolutely magical. From the breathtaking views to the champagne landing and bush breakfast, every detail was perfect. Plus, professional photos from the experience were emailed to us for free!
Everywhere we went, we were met by friendly local and Maasai people who made us feel truly welcome. Their kindness and generosity made a big impact on our trip.
In short, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. If you're planning a safari, go with Oldbeast Vacations, ask for Paul as your guide, and your holiday is guaranteed to be unforgettable!
