Great trip with Nano Africa Safaris
5/5

Great trip with Nano Africa Safaris.
My wife and I planned the Tanzanian Safari including some R&R in Zanzibar with very short notice. We are expats and travel a lot and I am not accustomed to using a tour operator but for this trip I thought it made sense to use a company with local knowledge. I communicated with one or two other tour operators which had many, many more positive reviews – Nano had only five reviews (all 5*). On one hand I felt I wanted to go with one of the large tour operators with hundreds of reviews but something told me I would not be disappointed with a smaller, more personal operator. Communication with the larger operator become inefficient as the representative I was dealing with was in France while all Nano Staff are located in Tanzania. The larger operator suggested I book the Zanzibar add-on myself while Nano offered a seamless safari experience including Zanzibar and dometic flights etc.
I decided to book a “9 Days Luxury wildlife Safari & Zanzibar” with Nano. Everything was included with the exception of international flights.

My wife and I flew from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to Kilimanjaro International Airport where Loserian and Ezekeil from Nano were ready and waiting to pick us up and drive us to our 5* hotel in Arusha.
Early the next morning we met our guide Haruna who was standing by with our 4x4 Toyota Safari Vehicle complete with pop-up top. Over the course of 2000 km traveled with Haruna I found him to be a friendly, knowledgeable and excellent guide. Importantly, he is a mature and skilled driver – no crazy stuff on the roads and he managed the rough terrain very well. It appears that all of the Safai Vehicles are the same converted Toyota Landcruiser pickup trucks. Standard seating is for 6 guests cramped (very little leg room) in the back and the Driver and Passenger in the front. Our tour was considered luxury, so my wife and I had the vehicle to ourselves along with Haruna but I warn you – traveling the distance we did over the very, very rough roads in a vehicle with 6 passengers would have been torture and I strongly recommend you arrange a private vehicle as we did. Frankly, those vehicles should carry max 4 passengers to allow for minimal comfort.

All wildlife sites we visited were fantastic – Serengeti, Ndudtu and Ngorongoro Crater. I can confirm that we exceeded all of our wildlife sighting goals during the Safari, including the Big 5! Of course some of this is luck, but there is no question that Haruna was fully on duty using his experience and knowledge as to where animals might be and the radio to contact park Rangers for reports.
The tented camp and lodge type accommodation we had during the safari portion of the trip varied but were all good – staff at each venue were all very friendly and accommodating. I think each of us will have our opinion of what luxury is, but in my view the accommodations were very nice given the remote locations. The food at each of the accommodations varied widely – some better than others.
Following 4 days of Safari, Haruna took us to visit a Massai village (I recommend this) on the way back to Arusha to board our flight for Zanzibar.

The flight to Zanzibar was “free seating” and as we were the last to board, my wife and I split up to different areas of the plane and had the pleasure of chatting with our Tanzanian seat mates !
To continue the seamless experience, Nano had indeed arranged a driver to pick us up at Zanzibar Airport and take us the one and a half hours drive to hour hotel. Upon our arrival at the hotel there was confusion as to room type (initial room assigned was far from luxury) and meal plan etc. Nano communicated directly with the Hotel Manager and sorted everything out immediately to our satisfaction. We stayed in the northeast of the island and loved the peaceful setting directly on the beach. Following a day drip to the northwest side of the island we realized how happy we were to be away from the noise and crowds we experience there.
The driver took us back to the Zanzibar Airport at the end of our stay to fly back to Arusha where Loserian and Ezekeil from Nano were again ready and waiting to pick us up and tour us around the rest of the day before delivering us to Kilimanjaro International Airport for our trip home.

I’ve written this long review to support the Nano Team. I took a chance on a small company with 5 reviews and in my view they went beyond expectations to deliver on promises and make us happy. I apricated the immediate communications via WhatsApp and the attention to our needs. I think we suited each other – my wife and I as very experienced travelers who are able to “roll with things” in an undemanding way and the Nano Team who are young and eager to work hard to please the guests.

All in all this was a very positive experience for my wife and I and I can recommend Nano Africa Safaris to anyone interested! I hope this review helps to generate more business for the Team !

We did enjoy our trip with NanoAfrica Safari so much in 2023. Thank you for taking us on this beautiful trip. We saw many animals in the park. It started with monkeys in the parking lot. Then we saw baboons, elephants, zebras, hyenas, giraffes, wildebeest and lions. The baobos trees were so interesting looking. We went to Tarangire national park. It is so beautiful there. Hilonga's family will treat you like family if you choose to take a safari with them.

Helpful and efficient, helped me to find the best tour option according my budget.
5/5

My trip with NanoAfrica Safaris was an unforgettable adventure. They provided us with comfortable tents and sleeping bags, making camping in the wild both exciting and surprisingly cozy. Waking up to breathtaking sunrises and ending the day with spectacular sunsets was pure magic.

The food was delicious, and the picnic lunches in between game drives were such a fun and unique touch. Our guide was fantastic, taking us to the best possible spots to see wildlife. We were incredibly lucky to witness cheetahs, lions, lionesses, a leopard, rhino, the wildebeest migration, and so much more.

Everything felt well-organized and safe, yet still full of adventure.

Passionate, knowledgeable expert who creates seamless and unforgettable Safari experiences!
5/5

My experience with NanoAfrica Safaris was truly outstanding! From the very first communication, their team was responsive, friendly, and extremely helpful in planning every detail of the trip. The service throughout was professional and warm, with everything running smoothly and right on schedule. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, making each game drive exciting and informative. I was also impressed by the excellent value for money, we enjoyed top-quality accommodations, great food, and unforgettable wildlife experiences at a very fair price! Most importantly, I felt completely safe and cared for the entire time. NanoAfrica Safaris is a reliable, customer-focused company that I would recommend without hesitation!
