The Best Experience!
5/5

We could not have went with a better company for our safari adventure in Tanzania! Everyone we interacted was friendly and kind and professional. Our driver Abdallah was amazing, not only did he make the 5 hour drive from Dar to Selous comfortable he also stopped to get us fresh fruits along the way, and was not annoyed by my many bathroom breaks! On our drive out of Selous Game Reserve he went way off the beaten path to get us a close up view of the buffalos, he always got us a beautiful view of the elephants, you could tell he knew what he was doing and was very good at it. We also had Deborah accompanying us for the entire trip and we enjoyed having her because she was able to help us navigate a lot of situations and answered all our questions, we were grateful to have her because it made us feel more comfortable and at ease. During the game drive we had a tour guide, Michael, was basically the Selous Game Reserve Whisperer - this man knew everything!! He took us out at 9 in the morning and we were in the park until 6 pm (we also saw every single animal we wanted to see). We looked around at other folks who were also on game drives and none of them had both a driver (Abdallah) and a tour guide (Michael), we felt very lucky and special to have them both. We purchased the 2 night 3 day tour that came with a stay at Kinga Lodge, which was also an exceptional part of our trip. The best way to describe how we felt at Kinga is "home," the sweetest people, the BEST food we had on our entire 10 day trip to Tanzania, and an amazing environment- there were baboons everywhere and the rooms reminded me of a really cool glamping experience! Thank you to Mwajabu, Deborah, and Abdallah for creating an experience we will never forget!

I can't even imagine better service. I will always recommend them!
5/5

Hello Tanzania with Mrs Mwajabu Sultan exceeded our expectations. We exchanged about hundred emails before the trip. She was always answering our questions in minutes or few ours. Mwajabu Sultan goal is: "when you're on vacations, you want to have a great time - no worries". And this is exactly vacations we had. A great time during the safari and relax on Zanzibar. No worries. I can't even find one thing I would like to complain about.
Thanks to her, I will always remember Tanzania as a beautiful country, where we spent our best vacations ever.
Thank You!

You’ll never find service as great as this!!
5/5

Communication was impeccable. I was going solo to the Serengeti and had many questions throughout the planning phase. I always received a response within 24 hours and was assured my request would be handled appropriately.

Not only that, but I had a nightmare of a commute getting to Africa due to a delayed flight and missing my connection, which would have prohibited me from going on my safari excursion. The tour operator was able to direct me into taking another flight to a nearby city, they rebooked another local flight for me once there, and actually came to sit with me at the airport at 3am until my next flight left at 7am. On top of all that, my luggage was lost for most of my trip and although the tour operator had nothing to do with my initial flights to Africa, they consistently called the airline and the baggage service company to check on my luggage everyday. The tour operator delivered the news of my found luggage on day 5 of my trip and helped coordinate its delivery to my hotel even though I had no other obligations with them for services. I am most grateful for them as they far exceeded my expectations and have service that cannot be matched. They are definitely a service provider I would recommend and use in the future.

Couldn't Be Better!
5/5

As an experience my Fiance and i had been looking forward to, we were really excited and just hoped nothing would spoil it. Right from being picked up from our hotel in Dar es Salaam our Tourguide Steve set the tone of our experience with a great attitude and personality. Very pleasant, cheerful, helpful and knowledgeable. The perfect personality you could ask for and hope to spend a long journey to the reserve and 2 days with. He actually started his 'tour' from the city showing and telling us some great historical and general information about Dar as he drove all the way to the reserve. He made us so comfortable it was as if we had known eachother prior to the tour. Always went out of his way to make sure we were ok, he made us feel like royalty. I could not have asked for a better guide and it just made our Safari that much more enjoyable. A great ambassador for Tourguides, very impressed and satisfied. Highly recommended.

Excellent organisation, very spontaneous
5/5

We decided four days before our arrival in Tanzania that we‘d like to go on a safari. So we just wrote a message and it was no problem to organize a trip in these four days. We always got an answer on all our questions within short time. At our arrival we just had to pay and arrange the exact pick up time for the next day. A very nice and safe driver took us from Dar Es Salaam to Mikumi where we started our safari tour. It was a great experience in a beautiful landscape! The tourguides gave us much information about all the animals we saw. I would definitely recommend Hello Tanzania to everyone interessted in an advernture trip in Tanzania :)

Amazing safari tour!
5/5

We spent amazing 4 days on Safari!
The comunication with all the people from Hello Tansania was very good and everyone was so friendly to us. We could totally enjoy our trip, because every thing was well organized.
If there were some problems we could easily talk over the phone and find good salutions or clear our questions.
The Vamos hotel which was also organized for us by Hello Tansania was also very nice! It's almost in the Mikumi National Park, so it's not far to start a new trip in the morning.
Thank you for organizing such a great trip for us!

Wonderful experience
5/5

We travelled as a couple and chose the 5-day Salous and Mikumi Safari
Since we were already near Mikumi we wanted to meet and start in Mikumi, which was no problem at all. The communication was very uncomplicated. We met Mwajabu at Camp Bastian as appointed and payment was more or less uncomplicated, despite the fact that some of our dollar-notes were too old, which was totally our bad. They then drove us to a nearby bank and we could pay the rest in Tanzanian Shilling.
The accommodations, Camp Bastian and Hippo Camp, were simple but good, the food was delicious (vegetarian food was no problem)! We really liked staying there.
On our safaris through Mikumi and Selous, we saw many animals and nature diversity was incredible. The Parks were not as crowded as other parks, we barely saw other safari touristsOur guides were very friendly and explained a lot.
We really had a great time in Mikumi and Selous and can totally recommend travelling with Hello Tanzania. If you don´t want to spend your money on an overly prized safari and if you don´t need to stay in 5-star-hotels, I´m sure you will enjoy your safari as much as we did.
Please keep in mind, this is Tanzania, usually not everything works perfectly, but eventually everything will work out.

5/5

The owner of this full service tour agency is fantastic. She assisted my family of four plus another couple and a single all traveling together at the last minute to Mikumi Park. She arranged for our personal driver, game drive guide (who was incredible), overnight stay at a lovely hotel and all meals. We saw a huge array of animals including a lioness with her cubs! Thank you for an experience of a lifetime.

Accommodating my needs as a solo traveller
5/5

I enquiried around to go on safari, I was traveling alone and everyone's prices were tailored for 2, as I was about to give up on going to safari hello Tanzania came through for me, they were accommodating enough,we started our journey when they picked me up from my hotel room at 3:30 am from Dar to Mikumi is more than 5 hrs drive ,we stopped for coffee and continued our journey, arrived at park in time, I met with my guide after the registration process we set for some game viewing ,spotted a lot of animals unfortunately not the king of the jungle though. In between the drive we stopped for lunch of ugali, beef and greens, Very tasty. Our drive back was great but took long as traffic was a nightmare, because of exhaustion I left my wallet in the car and I immediately called the sales agent and he arranged for it to be returned. I had a wonderful time and it's all thanks to the team at hello Tanzania, from my driver who I spent the chunk of my time with, to the sales team and my guide Jacob who was very knowledgeable about everything in the park, I appreciate your hospitality. I'll definitely recommend you guys anytime. Regards Violet.
