Such a friendly family business who really care about making your holiday the best experience!
5/5

Mwajabu and Hello Tanzania truly made our holiday such a great experience! Firstly, she was always available over whatsapp or email to respond to my many queries having never been on a safari before. Our driver Osman was really friendly and got us through the very long drive from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi safely and back to the airport in Dar es Salaam with plenty of time to spare.

Secondly, our driver for the game drive Bob was excellent and very patient. He was a great spotter and even managed to get us up close to a lioness and her three cubs which was an amazing experience. Mwajabu had promised us a private game drive and that was exactly what we were given.

We stayed at Camp Bastian which had a lovely atmosphere. The cottages were clean and cosy. The staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Finally, we only used Hello Tanzania for our first part of our holiday which was the Safari element and booked a trip to Zanzibar separately. I would really recommend booking it all through Hello Tanzania as Mwajabu has many contacts with the airlines and people on Zanzibar. Mwajabu went out of her way and spent ages on the telephone arranging an earlier flight for us from Dar es Salaam to Zanzibar even though we had not even booked this part through her company. She then also arranged two drivers, one for a day trip on Zanzibar which she organised for us including a hotel transfer at the end of the day and one for our transfer between terminals in Dar es Salaam which meant all the little pieces of the holiday ran smoothly.

Amazing service and safari
5/5

I cannot recommend Hello Tanzania enough - from the first email to the very end of my trip Mwajabu could not have been more helpful - she was an absolute star! As a solo traveler, many tour operators didn't even bother to reply to my initial email but Hello Tanzania arranged everything perfectly, from my pick up at the airport to the trip itself. Transport was clean and comfortable. Accommodation was nice and Mikumi National Park was fabulous - our Hello Tanzania guide was particularly good at making sure we saw lots of animals - including several lions! Would highly recommend Hello Tanzania for anyone looking to organise a safari in Tanzania. :)

An absolutely fantastic safari with one big issue
5/5

When we looked at options for safaris we choose Hello Tanzania because one of the safaris listed was a 'migration' safari. Our goal was to witness the great wildebeest migration and my husband was very specific about that when he booked the safari. He literally wrote 'the only thing we care about seeing is the migration of the wildebeest'. We met with the representative the night before departure and she gave us our tickets and the name of our camp. After she left I looked on line to discover the wildebeest pass through that camp area in March and April. Needless to say it was too late to make any other arrangements and we went on an absolutely fabulous safari. We did give the rep our feedback when we returned to Dar regarding our disappointment of signing up for a safari that wasn't what we got. Hello Tanzania took care of every detail: they picked us up at our hotel in Dar Es Salaam and took us to the airport, they arranged for air tickets, we were met at the airport near the camp and brought back to the airport after the safari and we were met back in Dar Es Salaam and taken back to our hotel. It made it so easy for us. The camp was of of several owned by the Asilia company and I must say we are very impressed with their concern for the environment and how they have created a model for other companies to show respect for the environment. They also plow money back into the communities. So for instance they help support the education of 12,000 primary school children. The camp used solar power for electricity and to heat water for showers, no plastic water bottles were used in this camp. We were issued stainless steel bottles and they were replenished every time we left the tent. The accommodations were superb with a large tent that was kept spotless, an indoor and an outdoor shower, a toilet with a wonderful view of the Serengeti. The bedroom had a very comfortable king size bed and a wall of screen that overlooked the Serengeti and the river that ran through the camp so we had lots of animal viewing from our tent. We loved our accommodations. We also loved the staff. They were friendly, fun to be with and so accommodating. Every need was addressed immediately although most needs had been anticipated and taken care of in advance. The food was healthy and delicious and any special requests were taken care of. In my case I am lactose intolerant so no whipped cream on my dessert for example. Our guide was a delight and had an eagle eye for spotting game and knew so much about the habitat, the physical characteristics and behaviors of the animals and birds. In 2.5 days my husband took 700 photos because there was so much to see with our guide. His name is Lenga Nasa and I highly recommend him. When we found out he was a Masai, we asked him about his culture and we learned a lot and were grateful for his willingness to share. The trip in every way far exceeded our expectations (this was our third safari by the way. 15 yrs ago we did two safaris in Zimbabwe.)

5/5

We had a wonderful experience with "Hello Tanzania" tour "3 Days/ 2 nights at mikumi and uduzungwa".
First of all Mwajabu is a lovely person, always so kind and helpful in all the way, she came personally to pick up us with the driver and she help us in many other things. All the "Hello Tanzania" staff that stay with us in our trip was so kind and qualified too.
The organization was excellent and the timetable was exactly as it was written in the brochure.
Nothing has been missed.
At least, Camp Bastian, the location where we slept, was a wonderful place with a magic atmosphere, a so gently staff and a very very good food.
We are very happy to have chosen "Hello Tanzania" and we sincerely recommend this tour operator to everybody.

The best experience we had in Tanzania
5/5

To say the truth, it was our first experience of booking safari, and we used this website to find safari provider. Among other companies, Hello Tanzania responded me always in time and in full. At the stage of booking, Hello Tanzania recommended itself from the best side. The organization of safari was excellent as well. The company executed the negotiated service and always tried to exceed our expectations through providing tailored service (we needed some changes in the planned route). Moreover, all our queries and issues were resolved in highly professional way with client-oriented attitude. We wish all the best Miss Mo Mwajabu and her company, and definitely recommend to choose Hello Tanzania as safari provider.

2 day/1 night Mikumi safari
4/5

As a female solo traveler, I was happy to be in contact with Mwajabu to organize my trip. She was always accessible and very pleasant. She also offered a very good price for solo travelers, as other companies charge twice as much. Mwajabu and her brother, the driver, met me at the airport, and accomodated my every need from beginning to end. Mikumi park is impressive in its own right and Camp Bastian is beautiful. I was disappointed with the food there, especially given lunch in the park the first day was so nice, but all in all, I really enjoyed Hello Tanzania's choice for hotel. I would highly recommend Hello Tanzania to organize and guide a Tanzanian safari!

to be in good hands, 3-days last minute Safary to Serengeti
5/5

We booked a last minute Flyin Safari to Serengeti. Mwajabu Sultan and her crew were very helpful and made our trip to Tanzania unforgettible. From the booking till the end of our trip to Serengeti they have taken care about us. We got picked up at the airport on the arrival day. Next morning a driver came to bring us to the domestic airport, we got well instructed in advance. Mwajabu herself was always in contact with us and is very well networked with Domestic airlines and Safari companys. Specially we apreciate the choice of a responsible eco-tourism company, luxury tendet camp on a beautyful landscape. Her arrangement for us was just great and well organized, we felt very safe and enjoyed as much as possible. By the end of the tour we got accompanied to our next destination. Thank you so much dear Mwajabu and team, you was the best choice!

Very organized, no problems at all!
5/5

The communication through WhatsApp was very useful. They picked us up in Dar Es Salaam and drove us to the airport and picked us up at the airport after the safari and drove us to our residence, which made life very easy. The safari was incredible - cannot say enough positive feedback. Definitely the highlight of the trip.

Ruaha
5/5

We were three people in Ruaha. That was our first safari, so I cannot compare with other. But I can say it was just amazing ! No problem with the organization, Hello Tanzania manage it very well.

In Ruaha you're sure to see lions, elephant, zebra in a wonderful landscape. With luck, we saw also Leopards and wild dogs. Next I hope to see Cheeta !
