Really nice budget short trip!
We made a really short time decision to go for one night to Mikumi National Park. As we were on limited budget and i've been already on another tour with Gombe, I contact them & could agree very fast on a one night trip to Mikumi for a fair price.
They picked us up at our stay in Dar in time. The Driver Rajabu was really kind & could tell a lot about the Park and it's nature.
We had an afternoon drive, a morning drive & another midday drive.
All meals have been included & were really good.
Only negative point on our tip was the fact that there was a fire in the park only few days before we arrive. So the vegetation was not as rich as it has been on my last trip to Mikumi. But that's nature. And not the fault of Gombe Safari.

All in All a great weekend!
My safari with Gombe Track Safaris and Tours was a very spontanous decision - nevertheless the communication was good. My contact person to Gombe helped me very well as i couldn't find a place in my choosen safari to find another one for the same price.
As we started the safari the driver picked me up in time. payment was uncomplicated & there was enough space in the car.
Our driver Rajabu drove fast but safe to the national park. In Mikumi National Park he could tell us a lot about the animals and the nature & was very kind. The drivings in Mikumi were awesome! We really saw every animal which is living in this Park - Lions, Lepards, elefants, giraffs, hippos, crocodiles, buffalos, wildebeasts, antilopes monkeys and many more.
The Food was also great. We got three meals per day, which were always enough and very delicious.
Our trip at the third day to Udzungwa National Park was also very great.
Unfortunately our actually hotel was full, but the alternate accomodation was very nice as well!
All in All it was a great trip to Mikumi & Udzungwa for a reasonable price. We were a funny group of persons & our drive Rajabu was very kind & had a lot of knowledge about the nature and the parks.
I will definitely book with Gombe Track Safaris again.

Incredible trip
I went on a four-day trip to Mikumi and Udzungwa. I had booked last minute and was travelling alone and joined a couple travelling together and another solo traveller who had booked just the day before. Our guide was outstanding - he really went out of his way to ensure our comfort and was very helpful and cheerful. He also knew the park very well and we saw pretty much every animal you can imagine including a leopard! The accommodation was not luxurious but clean and decent enough for the price paid ($150 a day) and the food was good. The mud huts in Udzungwa were spartan but atmospheric and there was a great bar. Everything was well organised and we didn't have to worry about anything. Definitely exceeded my expectations.

Unforgettable memory
Gombe Safari provides a good deal for 3D2N in Mikumi National Park. Starting from deal until the end of the trip, they manage everything professionally. My safari guide, Roman, is a knowledgeable and punctual person. He willing to share the knowledge regarding the animals, and able to explain to my curiosity about animals. He even lead us found the female lion with two little cubs in firtst day! Overall, Gombe Safari did a good job and give me an unforgettable memory in Tanzania. Those who has little time at Dar es Salaam but planning to go for short safari, I would recommend Gombe Safari as one of your choice.

Well organized chimp trekking experience in Gombe NP
Overall we had a great experience working with Joshua and the staff at Gombe Track Safaris. We arranged everything over email, and Joshua was always really quick to respond and was also really flexible in planning and paying for the trip.
We were a bit concerned by the lack of reviews, but were pleasantly surprised with how smoothly everything ran when we got there. All our transportation was on time and efficient, and the food provided was maybe not gourmet, but tasty and filling after a long day of hiking. Gombe NP itself is a great experience, and the trekking guides there are great. Plus you have a beautiful lake to relax by at the end of the day.
The only issues we had were that our flight was a bit late and our schedule ran behind the first day, so we almost didn't get to go out and trek the first day. We had to be a little pushy with the guides to get them to go, but in the end we saw chimps both days.
Overall this is a good, honest safari operator and I would recommend using them to organize your trip to Gombe.

More than just a safari
The safari was well organized and also flexible. Accomandation, food and time were perfect and especially our tourguide Afra. He has a huge knowledge about the animals, the wildlife nature and even above that. In addition he made the athmosphare within the group quit familiar.
Thanks a lot, it was an awesome experience for a fair price.
We can definitively recommend it.
