Professional, punctual, very friendly, very patient with their clients
It was amazing, we have seen most of the animals described on the quotation. The tour started on time and we were also back on time, as a bonus the operators made us visit one of the local restaurants

Authentic, positive, knowledgeable and fun!
You will spend a lot of time with your guide so choose wisely. I'm so glad I did!! Obed and his team were amazing. I was super excited to go on the Safari even before I met them. Communication was super easy via WhatsApp, I was able to pay in advance using Wise (it's super convenient instead of paying cash and it's easy to use). I knew I could trust them because I saw only good reviews about them (I did a very thorough research online before choosing). I also made sure to know what was included before I paid. Obed came to pick us up at our hotel in Dar es Salaam, and he was on time (even in advance). We were introduced to our driver (Alphonse) and started to drive towards Mikumi. It's a 6-7 hours drive, so be ready, of course you can stop anytime if needed, but Obed and Alphonse knew the best spots to stop for bathroom and lunch/snacks. They also told us so much about Tanzania, the culture, their villages, the different tribes and way of life. It was amazing to learn so much. The landscape on the way is so beautiful, I'm so glad I could see all of that (and not only the city and Zanzibar). The mainland's country is definitely the best part of Tanzania. Then we arrived in Mikumi park, and right away from the highway, we were able to see Giraffes, Impalas, Baboons, Wild beasts, Elephants and more! I couldn't believe we were not even in the park yet and could see them!!
Obed and Alphonse are definitely pros, as they could see the animals very fast even from far away! I was very impressed. We then arrived to our lodge, OMG IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!! The food was excellent, the staff super amazing, we had a pool, and it was not crowded at all. It was paradise! We didn't want to go back to the city ever lol we had dinner with Obed, and start talking about our plans for the safari the next day, also chat about life in Tanzania. We woke up early the next day to have breakfast and start our safari trip (game drive). We got on the highway and then BAM!!!!!! A lioness on the highway, hunting an Impala! WOW!! I just couldn't believe it. Then we saw tons of giraffes, and finally arrived to the park gate. We had to fill out some quick form, and started the game drive. It was totally magical. Obed and Alphonse knew exactly where to find the animals, we saw EVERYTHING, and saw them very close! We even saw a young leopard, tons of zebras, elephants (we almost could touch them but of course DONT!), we saw lions 3 times, hippos, monkeys, impalas in the thousands, and so much much much more. I just didn't want to leave, but we were so blessed and we saw everything! After the game drive we went back to the lodge to relax and eat. Then we headed back to Dar es Salaam on day 3. On the way back we stopped a couple of times to drink coconut water, buy some veggies and fruits. It was super cool. We were so sad to leave Obed and Alphonse, but we really hope to see them again very soon as this will not be our last trip with them! Thanks again to Obag African Safari for such an amazing adventure! Thanks Obed!

Great experience!
As my previous comment got half lost, I would like to add that guys from that tour company were really nice and friendly and always on time which we highly appreciated. The way from Dar es Salaam was long but funny and they took good care of us offering water, soft drinks and snacks all the way. We had 3 days safari starting with river safari, next full day safari in Nyerere national park and on last day they took us back to the port so we could continue our vacation. I must say that due to the rainy weather, the driving itself was an experience, but our driver was very skilled on those roads and we felt always safe. I can highly recommend Obag African Safaris- it's the best you can find!

It was an amazing experience and we are lucky that we met a really kindly tour operator!
If you are planning to go to Tanzania, I definitely recommend that you choose Obag African Safaris.
From the moment you are picked up and dropped off after 3 days it is an incredibly well organized safari. All your wishes are taken into account. You are literally the boss of your own trip and you have 2 new friends who are helping you with everything. It is worth it and the price/quality ratio is also perfect. The accomodation where you will stay is clean and well organized. I could go on for a long time, but you have to go and experience it.
In short, thank you Obed. It was amazing and see you soon!
Once in a lifetime experience
My boyfriend and I did a 3 day Safari tour that had a boat safari, jeep safari and walking safari. We were lucky and saw most of the animals in the park. Really recommend the tent and lodge camping spot they took us too! Food was good too.

Live this tour ones a time
We joined to private tour for 1 night and 2 days Mikumi Park. Our guide Obed and the driver guy was nice to us. We enjoyed to much during taking the travel and the Mikumi Park tour first day. To reaching from airport to park takes almost 8 hours. So it was a little tiring but when you reach to park you are forgetting the tiredness. Our accomation place was very good by the way. The hotel staff was so kind also. Eveything was awesome first day. We aggred with a price including everything like Park entrance fee and accomodation. Second day our expectation was waking up early and try to catch a morning hunt if we can. But guide said us we need to pay entrance fee additionally. He said the goverment has shortened the entrance time to Park because of it is a high season and this information has not given to him before. So we didn’t pay the fee and just returned back. I break one star because of this unexpected situation. So being careful for this situation is important before you agreed.

Great tour with best services
We had really good time with Ngunda. He took me and my familly to Mikumi national park for 3 days where we saw many different animals within park and on the way there. We booked as a private tour and everything run smoothly since pick up from the airport and return. The lodge we stayed in was perfect for me and our kids. I must also mention the good price so I strongly recommend to book with Obag African Safaris. Ngunda is a great guide!
Hope to come back again!
