6 Days 5 Nights Serengeti and Ngorongoro Honeymoon safari
I honestly couldn’t recommend Mellivora highly enough. The communication from the moment we enquired on safari bookings was impeccable and Francisca was very accommodating in helping us alter our trip throughout the initial stages. The service we received was fantastic, including all meals every day and drinks in the jeep whenever we liked.
From what I gathered however (as this was our first safari and an observation from our point of view), the quality of the guiding that we had with Mellivora was really exceptional. Our guide Elia was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and worked extensively to find what we wanted to see on each day. Further, he seemed to have much more of an understanding of the animal behaviour than other guides as sometimes he would tell us to wait patiently near some animals as they were about to do something whilst other jeeps would stop and then shortly move on. Lo and behold they begun to hunt shortly after. This really added to our experience and made our safari after we saw both lions and cheetahs hunting (although we did feel quite lucky to have these encounters).
I would highly recommend going on safari with Mellivora and will be doing so to friends and family who visit Tanzania in the future. I myself was somewhat hesitant as they had slightly less reviews than a peer but I am very glad I made the choice to go with them (and the fewer reviews is one of the main reasons for writing this as I truly want to support this business)!
Thank you for such a fantastic trip!

Great!
We spent two weeks in Tanzania with our two boys (5 and 9 years old). One week of safari and one week of beach vacation in Zanzibar. Fransisca organized everything brilliantly, fulfilled our every wish, and was there for us at all times. We had a fantastic driver/guide who told us a lot about the country. The highlight for the boys was the Land Cruiser with the pop-up roof. Here they were up close to the animals. Highly recommended and we'd love to go again. Thanks Fransisca.

Amazing experience
Thank you so much for very well organized safari in Tanzania. We had a great time and actually seen all we expected and even more
Also thanks to Francisca , who was always in touch and helped with everything we needed
Great team!
Mellivora African Travels Very professional, our journey was without any mistakes. Fransisca is very sincere and friendly, and the itinerary is fully implemented according to my intentions. Mellivora provided very satisfactory service throughout the entire process.
The guide, Eli, has excellent eyesight and is very kind. He loves his work and knows a lot about animal knowledge. In addition, his driving skills are also excellent.
She was the best
Mellivora African Travels provided us the perfect experience in Tanzania. A perfect mix of wildlife and cultural experience we could not have possibly asked for more.
Our tour guide, Jordan, was incredibly knowledgeable on all we had to ask and had an answer for every question. We were so honored to spend 5 days with him.
Along with planning a literally perfect itinerary, Issa was super responsive and helped us resolve any bumps along the way immediately (of which there were very few, for a very active and involved trip!).

Arusha Nationalpark is always a trip worth
It was my second trip to the national park. This time, the highlight was the walking safari with a ranger. It was really great! We learned a lot about the animals that live here, as well as the plants. We saw pumbas and buffalo up close. It was amazing! The waterfall we visited was also very beautiful. Our German-speaking guide, Jeremiah, was very knowledgeable and explained a lot to us. He showed us the diversity of this park. A big thank you to the organizers at Mellivora.

Our first safari in life, facinating!
This day trip was a great experience for us. The chance between driving and walking was a good decision. Our german speaking guide Jeremiah told us o lot of interesting information about the nature and the animals there. He speaks very well german. The walking tour was a special Highlight, because you are so close to the nature with all your sences. We can recommand it by heart. The rangers did a good job, too. We had a picnic with the few of the little Momella lake, beautiful! The lunch was delcious. Always we will keep this first safari trip as a special one in our mind. In summit it was all money worth, good prize.

Excellent services
We went on a 5 days Manyara lake - Tarangire NP - Serengeti - Ngorogongoro safari as a family, got home with a great experience.
Fransisca managed the booking process well,
Our guide, Jordan is was amaizing, we got along pretty well and his enthusiasm and knowledge about wild animals was impressive.He’s a great driver as well, and seems to know everything and everyone around, so you’ll get first hand infos, where the animals located.
All accommodations were great we could never ask for more.
Overall a very nice first safari experience, highly recommended the company.

The operator was Magnificent
The safari with Mellivora African Travels was really amazing. The booking and email exchange with Fransisca was really easy and he adjusted the trip to our needs and requirements until we had the perfect setup.
Also everything was organized well and our guide Elia was the best. He made sure that we see a lot of animals and knew the spots. He answered all our questions and it was a pleasure to spend the 5 days with him. He is also a really good driver which can help as there are some rough roads.
I highly recommend this company.
