Perfect organized tour with super friendly people!
5/5

Im still excited about the amazing tour and all the animals I have seen. I was picked up early in the morning from my hotel in Dar and then had a good drive to the national park where Lenard introduced me to Jefferson (guide) and a driver which then did the private safari tour inside the park. Both Jefferson a d the driver, who’s name I forgot unfortunately did a great job and went the extra mile to show me as much animals as possible. I was a complete success and I’m still flashed!!! Thank you very much Lenard and team, it has been amazing!

2 day 1 night safari to Mikumi National Park from Dar Es Salaam, booked through an aggregator site. Lenny responded quickly with a comprehensive email, and a very good price. We discussed a few details and confirmed the booking a few hours later.
I was picked up from my address at the agreed time. Comfortable drive to Mikumi, with a couple of rest stops along the way. Lenny was happy to answer any questions on the drive.
At Mikumi, I was met by my guide Ladislaus and driver Omali. Switched to the open top land cruiser vehicle. I was lucky enough to have the vehicle all to myself. We had a great game drive, and were lucky enough to see a pair of lions mating right near our vehicle! Lots of giraffes, zebras, antelope, buffaloes, elephants and many other animals and birds seen through the day. The hippo pool was full due to recent heavy rains, so saw some partially submerged hippos. Ladislaus and Omali did a fantastic job, and were happy to go at my pace.
We stayed overnight in a comfortable and clean lodge with an attached bathroom as well as air-conditioning.
All meals included, and pick up and drop included.
Going Green is highly recommended, and I will definitely be contacting them again on my next visit!

They pampered us the way we wanted
5/5

The service of This company was amazing and professional since the beginning. Starting with Vivian in the moment she contacted me back in November when I first sent a message showing interest for me and my husband to do Mikuni Park Safari Tour 3 days. The communication was smooth and they let us pay until we got to Dar Es Salam ( the day the safari started )
Then Lenny picked us up and drove to Mikuni Park, we took around 6 hours because we stopped several times for coffe, the restroom, and to buy things to take with us to the hotel
We got to the hotel and was very cute with a lot greens. Food wasn’t the best, but service was great. They took us to meet the Masai community and we learned a little bit how they live in Tanzania
The next day, other guys picked us up for the safari since very early until 5pm which was great because we really took advantage of the day to be able to see all the animals : impalas, elephants, lions, giraffes, monkeys, crocodiles , hippos and more. We ate a lunch box in the middle of the jungle ( not too tasty, but at least to recover energies )
The last day we came back to Dar Es Salam, on the way back, Leny stopped serveral times for us to be able to take pictures of the animals that we could see in the middle of the road, also to eat Tanzanian food, to buy souvenirs from Tanzania and more. We took long time to go back but it was a very enjoyable experience because Lenny took care of us, pampered us the way we wanted and took us back safe to Dar Es Salam.
Thanks a lot Green Safari for such an amazing experience that let us learned a lot about Tanzanians and the animals that belong to here #AsanteSana

5/5

If I will ever have the chance to do again a Safari, I would definitely choose the same company and the same awesome guide: Lenard! There is no doubt that he is an experienced guide and he can drive you to the best spots at the perfect time to see the wild animals: hippos, crocodiles, lions, giraffes, elephants, buffalos, impalas and with a little bit of luck you can see rare animals in middle of the day as hyenas and leopards! If you're not convinced, checked the pictures: in 2 days of game drive, one in Seoul and one in Mikumi, we had to chance to see 18 giraffes in one single place, female and male lions, lots of hippos, buffalos, impalas, crocodiles enjoying the meal and many many other. Because every Safari is different, I can only guarantee that if you choose Lenard, it will be a great experience. He pays attention to lots of details: cold water always available, meals preferences, best accommodation and room based on availability, clean car because during a safari it can get very dirty ... he even bought us candies as a small treat ! And if you people are nice, you don't get only a guide, you get also a friend!

Nice safari
3/5

The safari is really great, only one day of game drive is not that much though. The food was good, the drive between Dar es Salaam and Mikumi pretty long with a guy who hardly spoke any English.

Helpful and always on time
5/5

We were on a two-day trip to Mikumi National Park. The first day we were on Safari. The second day we visited Udzungwa mountain. The safari can not compete with the large national parks in terms of wildlife and lushness, but Mikumi was very intimate - we were allowed to drive the safari car ourselves some of the way and we had to get out of the car when it was safe and get close to the peaceful animals.
We stayed at Simanga Lodge. Nothing fancy and sparse with space, but there was air conditioning and we stayed relatively little in the room, so that was fine enough. We ate at Camp Bastian, which is not the same place to stay overnight - the food was really good compared to what we have otherwise experienced in Tanzania.
All in all, a nice trip and Lenard was helpful with small issues that arose along the way. So if you are in Dar Es Salaam, and do not have the time / profit / desire for the big popular Safari places in Arusha, then Mikumi National Park can definitely do something too.

Amazing experience with Goinggreensafari
5/5

We did a 3 days, 2 nights safari in Mikumi National Park and it was a wonderful experience. We started to see many animals on the road to the hotel : impalas, girafes, monkeys, elephants...
We stayed at Simanga Lodge wich was very clean with air conditioning but we took all pour meals in Camp Bastian. The food is very good and the place is beautiful and quiet.
The full day game drive was absolutely great, we had the chance to see the big 4. The period was great because there are lots of baby animals in the park.
Our guide Jaferson was super nice, interesting and fun. We were in the Lion King movie all day.
Thank you so much Lenard for the organisation and the beautiful time we had with you. We recommend goinggreensafari for your safari in Tanzania the price is really good and what you get is amazing. We will certainly try to come again.

Awesome Safari Tour which exceeded our expectations!
5/5

We, two female mid 20 friends from Germany/Austria booked the 4 day Mikumi and Udzungwa NP safari starting from Dar es Salaam.
Lenard was the most friendliest and welcoming guide we could wished for. Always on time and more than happy to assist. We had wonderful conversations, rewarding for both cultural backgrounds and he always made sure that we got exactly what we wanted. Inside the NPs we had different drivers / guides (as they know the area and spots best) which were all really lovely and knowledgeable - so we saw a lot of animals and were always the “luckiest car” as our driver simply knew how to drive *yaay*. Also important to say that this is a private tour and you have your own car with no other tourists! :)
So for the 4 day safari, the first and last day were mainly for driving. Make sure you visit the Maasai culture in the evening of the first day - unforgettable, highly interesting and also authentic encounter with a totally different culture. The 2nd day is for Mikumi NP, one day in the NP for spotting animals is IMO totally fine and we wouldn’t wanted another day as one ist definitely enough to see everything!
The 3rd day in Udzungwa NP was awesome! Nice walk up to the waterfall and incredible views on top of it with lunch next to the cliff! Make sure you go swimming in the waterfall pools!
All in all I can highly recommend this 4 day tour! We were really thankful that everything worked out so smoothly and that we were so welcomed by all the locals and saw everything that we wanted inside the NPs!
Thanks Lenard!! :)

punctual and reliable
5/5

I was on 4-Day Mikumi NP, Udzungwa Mountain Trekking and Maasai. That was great experience. I really liked punctuality and driving skill of the guide (Lenard). Also the company provided experienced safari guides and we saw all animals including lions. The only animal that I haven't seen was leopard. Accommodation was also convenient.

Minuses that I noticed:
1. Food in the hotel. Menu was poor and the same during all days (rice, chicken, beef, eggs, pancakes). At the same time you will not stay hungry.
2. Guide in Udzungwa was not really great, he was a lot on the phone and with other guides that we met.

Overall I really liked the safari.
