The Most Amazing Experience... Selous Park
My husband and I planned to take a much-needed break and I realized we had to try one of several safari experiences when we decided on Tanzania. I had a million safari options, but I got an immediate reply from Omar the owner and manager of this company, I knew we had to go along with him. He was so sweet, assuring and reliable. I felt linked automatically and moved on to prepare. He was still very patient in the arrangement, we chatted a lot online and after a few calls, it began to feel like friends already. For our permits, pick up at the airport and more, Omar went the extra miles to plan out of the package for which we paid for. It was about my wife and my wife.
It was our first safari experiences for both my husband and I and Omar had a lot of well-orchestrated experiences. A very therapeutic experience was our three-day stay in Selous Park. We would like to see it again. On the day of our departures to Selous Park, we were picked up by Sheika (Omar's beautiful wife) with whom we had already spoken and along with our tour guide a very gentle but deeply knowledgeable chap named Frank, so kind-hearted. We just had an incredible time together.
Sheika had planned a very VIP tour for us, with stops to sample tasty Tanzanian dishes from local cuisine. All in all, I have to say, they are a great company, and we had the one of the BEST safari experiences with them. We had an amazing boat ride on the Rufiji River; got to see hippos, elephants, tigers, giraffes, different species of birds and a variety of other animals. We picnicked up in the wilds and had the finest food and customer service in the little lodge we lived in. It was such a sad time for us to leave after three lovely days in Selous.
I will surely recommend their services for all.
Omar and Sheika are the absolute power duo, their customers service skills are top-notch.
And for the record my husband and I will be back for more lavish experience next time.
Thank you to the entire Connect Africa team and in particular to Omar, Sheik and Frank.

Beyond what i expected
In the beginning, I hesitated a lot to book a safari with this company, knowing that it was my first safari trip, as I did not find much reviews for it since it is a new company, but I took the risk because they made a great offer with amazing accommodations with an excellent price, and this was one of my best decisions.
I have contacted several companies and they were offering great offers with a high price, and other companies had offers with a reasonable price, but the accommodations were not good.
I contacted Connect African Safaris and they were very helpful and were very quick to respond in adjusting the safari schedule and accommodations with Hamidu
When we arrived at kilimanjaro Airport, my husband and I met Omar and he explained many things to us about the region, culture and tribes on our way to the hotel and also showed us a wonderful restaurant to have dinner in Arusha
On the second day the adventure started with our driver and guide Hamisi. He is really cool and professional. He was very helpful with us and tried hard to make us enjoy the best game driving and see a lot of animals. We've seen the Big Five
They are a great company and we had the BEST safari experience with them. Thank you guys for the most wonderful trip.

More than we expected:)
We really enjoyed every minute of this safari. Got a really nice guy as our guide. In the end it was even a little bit sad to leave, as we were together for almost one week. He was always very helpful and prepared. Had amazingly good picnics every day!!! Also got some nice photos with animals so close to us. Saw almost every wild animal. The coolest thing was that we saw Simba trying to catch Pumba but he couldn't make it. But we were so close and staring at it was very very cool experience, highlight of the trip. We are more than happy with this tour:))

Incredible time during safari in Tarangire Park & Ngorongoro
Just had an incredible experience with Connect African Safari.
My guide Frank showed up on time to pick me up early at the hotel. Frank is polite, patient, and knowledgeable about the area and animals. I saw thousands of animals and had all my questions answered by Frank. They accommodated my meals (vegan) and my overnight stay, always providing assistance when needed.
My husband fell ill before the Safari and we couldn’t go together but hopefully we can go in the near future and without hesitation I would use this company again. My husband and I recommend them 100%. Tanzânia is also a beautiful country!

Very helpful during COVID
We had a Safari planned in Tanzania for this September, but COVID forced our airline to cancel our flight over to Africa so we could not make our trip.
We had already put a deposit down for our Safari, which we had to wire over with our bank. This was a very easy process, though.
Since our trip was cancelled, we needed to request a refund for our deposit. The company graciously refunded our ENTIRE deposit and wired it back to us in a very timely manner. We used Western Union for the wire and it was a seamless transaction.
Omar helped us along the way with everything! Omar spent a couple of weeks with us over email creating our perfect safari, and he did! We were very disappointed we could not experience it.
When we plan our trip back to Tanzania, we will be contacting Omar with Connect African Safaris!
Thank you for all of your help again.

Best experience ever
This was my first safari and did not know what to really expect. Thanks to Connect Safaris it was one of the most memorable holiday ever. From day one the Connect Team were on point. From the airport pick up to our camp site Ngorogoro and the lodge in the Serengeti whole journey was seamless experience. The choice of accommodation was first class very practical and well within our budget . They where always available when we needed they assistance and made our gateway a trip to cherish and remember. I will definitely be using them on the next Safari I take. Thanks so much Connect.

Super Safari Experience
Thank you Connect African Safaris for providing me with total excellent customer service during my 2 week safari tour in Tanzania. The communication and service you provided me was high class and I enjoyed the adventure of the customised private tour you delivered to me visiting the Ngorongoro conservation area and Lake Manyara national park.
I also got to have a few peaceful and relaxing days in Zanzibar. Overall my holiday from start to finish was amazing, as you took care off all the finer details to make my holiday stress free, I would highly recommend Connect African Safari to all customers looking for a quality holiday experience in Tanzania no matter your budget.

3 Day Short Exciting Tanzania Safari
We had an extraordinary experience with connect African Safaris. At first we were hesitant to take this trip due to weather forecasting that it will rain but Sheikha convinced us to do so. We planned for a short time and we just decided to go to Africa!
The day started well because Msago, our tour guide was very early to pick us from our hotel. We had a discussion at the hotel lounge and he was very keen to know what animals we wanted to see and our overall expectation. We had some good laughs and thorough discussion on different aspects of wildlife because John and I adore animals. The lodges where we stayed were fantastic and so was the food. Msago had dinner with us the first night and we really loved the conversations. We are super proud that we booked with Connect African Safaris and are happy to recommend other travels to the team at Connect – Sheikha, Msago, Omar, and Hashim
