Amazing experience!
Mwangaza Safari truly provides a five star experience for their clients. Ms. Mwajabu is very attentive and she gave her best to satisfy all ours wants. Communication was excellent from the very beginning , on time and she provided us with all the information needed as well as friendly advices.
Our driver Athman was great! He is very friendly, communicative and knowledgeable. We enjoyed spending time with him and he always made us feel welcome. Highly recommend him as a driver because he made our experience even better. *Asante Sana!
Gilbert took us on a game drive and on the last day to Massai village - very friendly and communicative as well.
On our way back to Dar El Salaam, we missed the ferry due to high traffic. Ms. Mwajabu reacted promptly and we were able to change the tickets for tomorrow's ferry and she also provided us with the accommodation. At the end, it turned out to be just fine. Athman took a great care of us while we were there.
We are very thankful for all the people that were part of our experience!
We highly recommend Mwaganza Safari.

Excellent Excellent Excellent!!!!
One of the best experiences in my life.
The service provided by Mwajabu was a IMPECCABLE!!
She is ALWAYS available over the phone or whatsapp no matter what questions you have even before you set foot in Tanzania. I would text her at 1:00 am and she’d happily reply! Super helpful and friendly and really cares about her clients’ happiness and comfort.
Her staff are very friendly and speak perfect english. We didn’t have any issue at all and while a lot of other safari cars broke down, ours was solid and ran perfectly well. She then met us in Zanzibar after our safari and offered us a free taxi (45 min drive) to our hotel. She even asked one of the hotels to surprise my gf with a complementary birthday cake.
Lovely person, amazing service. Highly highly recommended!!

Probably the most magical and life affirming trips of my life
The communication from start to finish and throughout was exceptional and tailored to my needs. Mwajabu and her staff I’ve already recommended to several traveller friends. I won’t ever go with any other company. Already planning a return trip to Kilimanjaro!!!
The team really went the extra mike for me and it felt like I was part of their family. There was genuine care for my safety, well being and enjoyment of the adventure which I didn’t want to end!
Lions, giraffes, ugali kuku, baby elephants and double rainbows - a dream come true!
When we booked a cheap flight to Zanzibar for some December sun, we didn't even think it was possible to do a safari. Figuring all of this out in your lazy chair all the way in The Netherlands with zero travel experience in Africa was quite puzzling. Luckily Mwajabu from Tanzania Mwangaza Safari came super fast to the rescue! She contacted us via WhatsApp and advised on which park to go to, where to sleep and about the best day and time and that was very helpful. We had no clue! We paid a small amount of money a few months before and paid the rest in cash, which was convenient for us
. Ithman, a very nice driver, brought us in an air-conditioned car from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi park. We had fun in the car and were amazed by everything we saw outside: millions of mango trees, Masai roasting goats, women in wax print carrying all kinds of things on their heads, pineapple fields: it was great.
We arrived at the national park and after putting our luggage away in the bungalow we started the game drive! The vehicle was not exactly modern but we thought that had its charm. The car was open and so we had a good view of everything around us. We did wonder about safety.
Our guide, a nice friendly guy, didn't carry a weapon or anything and there are lions and other predators in the park. We had to stop every half hour to add water in the motor because the car wasn't in a good state, but to be honest we were happy with every stop, so we could take pictures. The park was so full of animals, we couldn't believe it! Giraffes, zebra's, millions of impalas, warthogs, storks, hippos, water buffalos, wildebeests, elephants, monkeys and even lions: everything we hoped to see was there! Most of the animals had babies who were extremely cute. That first day was just magical with all these lion cubs and elephant babies and it ended with a huge double rainbow. Back in the camp we had our first real Tanzanian meal: ugali kuku.
The bungalow had airconditioning and we had a great night of sleep. After breakfast again a full day of watching animals - what a dream! We stayed two nights and two full days in total in the safari, and that actually enough: we saw everything we hoped to see and more! The way back was comfortable, although we did had to bribe the police for reasons we still don't understand. The car was just stopped and we had to give 30.000 Tanzanian shillings because the driver didn't have that money in cash. We didn't understand what was going on and didn't have time to pick a fight because we had to catch the last ferry to Zanzibar.
So, to make a long story short: our safari in Mikumi was really, really great and we are very grateful for all Mwajabus efforts. We didn't have to worry about anything, everyone we met was super friendly and the whole experience was beyond our expectations!

A wonderful experience!
Everthing was taken care of, so that we could focus 100% on the beautiful things there were to see. and do!
Impressive safari. So many animals so close. The staff was professional, helpfull and friendly.
Super safari in Mikumi national park and an extra day in Udzungwa mountains national park. We had good accomodation in Vuma Hills. Good food, good driver. Professional staff and personal attention from the director to make sure vertraging is allright.

1000 percent service and everything arranged properly.
The communication was super good after booking. I got her whats app number and there I could ask all the questions and I got a quick answer back.
The service was also super good. You could ask for anything, nothing was too much, everything was arranged.
What we also liked was that you could pay with euros, dollars and shillings.
Super sweet and nice people.
Athman was a good guide and he showed us that game drive with many different animals.
10 ++ I will definitely recommend this, we really had a great time.

Unbelivable experiance
Everybody says something about Africa but when i come&see, Africa is unbelivable. There is not a such experiance like Africa. You must feel this freedom.
I had no long time and i attent to the 2 days mikumi safari tour. And it was good to feel the ambiance. The road to national park is too too long. The car has no A/C. But our tour guide is so nice and trying to make us comfortable and so you are forgetting all the things. He is so kind and helpfull. We get very very close to the animals. We have change to see all the animals that park has. Even lion family with 3 little kids. Elephants are amazing. Guide makes us some off roads to see the animals closer in the bushes. I love elephants so much. The guide is so important and he finds and shows them again and again and again

Well organized, clean, reliable.
Communication was good and all the drivers were on time. However breakfast which was promised for ride to mikumi was not provided. Accommodation and food during the safari were clean and the service was friendly. Had a nice safari in mikumi! Would reccommend this company.
Reply from Tanzania Mwangaza Safari
Posted on Jan 5, 2020Dear Petra,
Thank you for the best review. Maybe it was not clear about the breakfast, normally we offer the following in the car during the ride:
Flask of hot water/coffee/tea/crisps/nuts /unlimited drinking kilimanjaro drinking water.
This is what we mean by providing in the morning. Lunch time we have a break as well.
My apology if this was differently received from your side.
kind regards.

Professional all inclusive service
Had an excellent safari tour. Mwangaza Safari made every effort in booking our accommodation choices, had excellent communication throughout. Their own suggestion for accommodation at Vuma Hills, Mikumi National Park did not have as good a standard of service as our own suggested accommodation elsewhere, but was a nice experience in any case (we also stayed at Sadaani Safari Lodge which was excellent). Our driver and transport provided were excellent.
