Very reliable and profesional.
5/5

We booked a safari to Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater. The communication was very good, we got all the details we asked for. The accommodation was in a nice quiet lodge with a swimming pool just perfect for late afternoon after a long game drive. The driver/guide was very helpful, he did his best to show us the most interesting places and animals.
In total, it was a lovely experience that I would recommend to anyone.

I couldn't have imagined a better safari experience
5/5

Wow. I have nothing but awesome things to say about my safari. I was traveling to Tanzania as a single female, and was somewhat nervous going in about booking something by myself. I appreciated the safety of going through safaribooking.com, and was immediately contacted by Mwajabu to help me book it. I had a few questions leading up about the logistics, and Deborah was available to me both on email and whatsapp. It felt very organized, and by the time I arrived I had no concerns about being there alone.

The experience itself was more than I could've even imagined. I was greeted by Deb and Abdullah (I think that's how his name is spelled!) the driver at the airport in Dar Es Salaam and we drove to Kinga Lodge. Despite arriving quite late, the Kinga lodge staff had stayed up to greet me and show me just incredible hospitality after a long day of travel. The accommodations and food throughout the trip were likewise fantastic. The next morning I met Michael, who would be our guide in Selous. Because I went late in the season, I actually got to spend the trip with just me, Abdullah, and Michael, which gave us extra freedom to explore and even drive deep into the park to some hot springs. Michael has to be the best guide in the park - he was so kind and so well informed. We saw everything we set out to see, in no small part thanks to their tracking ability. I won't forget watching a baby elephant and mother reunite with the rest of the family, or laughing together at the baboons and the "honeymooning" lions. The trip included 2 days in the main park, a river safari, and a walking safari, and each activity brought new wonders.

I just can't say enough how grateful I am to all the people I encountered that made this trip great. If you have a chance to take a safari, please look no further.

Professional and enjoyable
5/5

The initial communication was excellent - very quick and clear. Upon arrival in Dar es Salaam we were met at the agrees time and everything was explained to us. The following morning our driver was there on time to meet us. He was very friendly and well informed, and always tried to give us the very best experience.

Absolutely terrific!
5/5

The 1-day trip to Mikumi National park was amazing. Seeing that we were on a tight time scheduel, the 1 day trip was perfectly planned. While at Mikumi, we saw a lot of animals (even leopard) and the drive to- and from the park was comfortabel with drinks and snack. It truly lived up to our expectations

Mikumi Safari - beautifull, long travel
4/5

Mikumi park is beautiful. Just from the road we saw impalas, giraffes, monkeys, tumbas (pig from cartoon). There are many elephants also. We were lucky and was lion family - 4 adults and 2 babies, just 20 meters from us !!! We also saw crocodiles and hippos, but hippos were in the water and crocodiles just lie... We also saw leopard, just for moment crossing the road, but very close to us. We saw some zebras, buffalo, and wild beasts. No so big group but small ones. next to road we also saw vultures. REALLY BEAUTIFUL.

We were there from Dar es Salaam. just for two days. Apartment for night was in very good level.

Negative was VERY long travel to and from Mikumi (from Dar es Salaam). It was 7 to go to and 9 hours back ! Our driver did not know English very well, so it was not possible to talk with him about country and so on... And I like this.

5/5

Everyone was very thorough and quick with communication. We had no issues with the entire safari, beginning to end. The overnight in Camp Bastian was simply amazing - really excellent choice made by the operators! Thank you all for a great trip.

Very serious tour operator, always on time, never bad surprises, exactly as described before buying.
4/5

We have been warmly welcome, our expectations have been heard. Then two precise programs have been proposed to us and we just had to choose. The prices are correct.
Then all was great : the safari in mikumi (we saw a lot of animals!), then the hiking in another National Park and the Waterfalls! The owner, the drivers, the guides were very nice and helpful and the organization perfect!
We warmly recommand Hello Tanzania and thank them a lot.

Amazing experience, perfect organization
5/5

We did our booking during the summer. Mwajabu was really helpful and always replied really quick. When we made our booking we had to pay a deposit in advance with credit card, but it was OK and secure. We were picked up at the airport and they took us to our hotel. We paid the rest of the tour 1 day prior to departure. We did a 2 days trip to Mikumi. The organization was perfect. We were transported to Mikumi in a mini van and there we switched to a jeep. Our mini van driver was really nice and helpful. Our host at Mikumi, Bob was the same (really nice :) ) Bob knew a lot about the wildlife and always tried to entertain us. After the first day we went to out hotel next to Mikumi, which was really beuatiful. In the morning we started early to see some nocturnal animals. Around lunch time we went back to Dar Es Salaam. During the 2 days we were given plenty food and drinks. At night we can choose from an "A la carte" menu. My girlfriend is vegan and upon request they could provide also vegan meals. All in all we really loved it and we think it absolutely worth the price. When we go next time to Tanzania we will contact again Mwajabu ;)
