Knowledgable, excellent, and highly recommendable local tour guide
Our experience with Ibrahim was highly recommendable! Ibrahim was extremely knowledgeable, excellent at spotting animals and answering relevant questions. His many years of experience as a Tanzanian guide were easily recognizable, as we spent one week in Southern Tanzanian parks with him. He was very well-connected with the other tour guides and knew the best circuits and routes to drive in the national parks. We were very happy to support a local Tanzanian tour guide and company! We highly recommend Mtila Safaris and Ibrahim for your travels through Tanzania!

Amazing 10 day safari with Ibra
We had a fantastic 10-day safari in southern Tanzania with some truly memorable moments. Our guide was fantastic! He fulfilled our needs and wishes, both when creating our itinerary and during the safari. He also drove safely and organized everything perfectly, allowing us to enjoy the safari in a relaxed manner. When we saw animals, he gave us plenty of time to take photos and observe the animals. We always felt safe and comfortable. His Land Cruiser also served us well on the adventurous roads. We also liked the accommodations; our request to change a suggested accommodation in advance was no problem.
Asante sana Ibra, for this unforgettable time!

A great trip to 3 national parks in the south of Tanzania
The first time we met Ibrahim was when he came to pick us up with our rented car at our camp just outside Nyerere game reserve. We though we had rented a car with a driver to take us to Mikumi, Udzungwa, Ruaha and finally to Iringa airport (7 days), sleeping in tents and cooking meals ourselves. I had planned the trip myself but with Ibrahim's knowledge of the roads and parks, with his experience and with his patience our Safari turned from great to excellent. Ibrahim seemed to know everybody whom we met along our journey and used his connections to smooth the path. He is also great at spotting animals and is very knowledgeable about them. Ibrahim came as a driver but he was so much more and in the end at Iringa airport it felt like we were saying good bye to a good friend. We can highly recommend Ibrahim as a guide for a Safari in Tanzania who would organize your entire Safari for you wether you decide to stay in tents or lodges.

Amazing and so caring!
I truly enjoyed myself. I woke up sick the day of the tour and they continued to check up on me and still ensured I had a great time. The drive was amazing! I saw lions, zebras, giraffes, elephants, hippos. It was really an amazing trip. Definitely would recommend them!

I recommend this company without hesitation.

Knowledgeable guide, great tour, great vehicle
I had just three days to explore Saadani National Park in Tanzania, so I wanted a knowledgeable and experienced guide who could help me make the most of the trip—especially as a keen birdwatcher. Ibrahim exceeded all expectations.
He knows the park intimately and brought me to fantastic spots for viewing the larger wildlife. We had some unforgettable encounters, including tracking a mother elephant and her calf as they moved gracefully through the bush. Ibrahim's skill in identifying bird species was impressive—we spotted over 50 different kinds during the trip, which was a real highlight for me.
As it was my first safari, I hadn’t realised how much difference a good vehicle makes—not only for comfort, but for accessing more remote areas. Ibrahim’s vehicle was well-equipped for off-road travel, allowing us to follow wildlife closely and safely.
This trip was a memorable introduction to the magic of African safaris. I hope to return to Tanzania someday, and when I do, I’ll definitely book with Ibrahim again. Highly recommended.

Seamless experience!
I travelled with Mtila Safaris from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi for a 2 day trip, and despite having booked just 2 days prior to the departure, everything was organized seamlessly including the train tickets from Dar to Morogoro, the transfer from Morogoro to the camp and the next morning the pickup from the campsite to Mikumi National Park. The safari was amazing, with close sightings of lions, elephants, giraffes and zebras among others, and Victor made sure to give me ample information about each animal. Then after the safari the drive back to Morogoro was well organised as well. Thanks Mtila Safaris for an unforgettable and once in a lifetime experience! Would recommend.

We had an amazing safari experience in Mikumi National Park! Our guide, Apollo, was fantastic—very f
The entire safari was extremely well-organized by the tour operator. The transfers—from the hotel to the airport, to the national park, and back—were smooth and hassle-free. Everything was perfectly planned, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience without any worries.
Very adaptable and had knowlegde of the animals
This tour was perfect. Ibrahimu was so nice and adepted the tour to our wishes of animals to see and where we wanted to take breaks. I was pleasently suprised by the standard of out overnight stay, which is actually the best ive stayed at during my one month trip in Africa. We saw so many animals and got close to them in a calm manner. It was a beatiful tour and such good value for money!
