5/5

All was perfect from the beginning to the end. The safari park was amazing we could see all of animals we wanted to see and the service was always friendly and on time! The only thing that they could develop is an electronic system's payment!

Excellent service and safari experience
5/5

Service and communication before, during and after safari were excellent.

We were taken very good care of.

Safari was great, we saw a lot of different animals. We went to Selous Game Reserve.

Hotel was nice and cozy, and food was good. We stayed in Kinga Lodge.

Overall I'd recommend Hello Tanzania to anyone.

Hello Tanzania and Mwajabu were very communicative and professional. Great experience!
5/5

I traveled to Tanzania on business in early December and hoped to squeeze a brief safari in before my work responsibilities. Hello Tanzania helped me make it happen. Mwajabu was super communicative and answered all my questions. The tour operator in Selous Game Reserve was friendly and knowledgable. Grade A experience.

A Breath Taking Experience
5/5

Hello Tanzania made this trip an unforgettable experience! Communication is a very important part of traveling especially aboard. Mrs. Mwajabu Sultan did a excellent job on all the above! The Safari Tour was incredible. Our driver Mr. Athuman and tour guide Gilbert made sure we were comfortable and made sure we had an exciting mix of wild life and scenic experience. I want to give a special thanks to our driver Mr. Athuman, we never think about thanking people such as drivers but he did a fantastic job serving us, taking us places and doing his job well. Also, going over and beyond to make sure we ( Larissa's x2) had an amazing time while in Africa.

Everything was like in the offer. Safari tour-incredible! Place we stayed-Camp Bastian-customer experience was like 5 star hotel! Food was amazing.

Such a friendly family business who really care about making your holiday the best experience!
5/5

Mwajabu and Hello Tanzania truly made our holiday such a great experience! Firstly, she was always available over whatsapp or email to respond to my many queries having never been on a safari before. Our driver Osman was really friendly and got us through the very long drive from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi safely and back to the airport in Dar es Salaam with plenty of time to spare.

Secondly, our driver for the game drive Bob was excellent and very patient. He was a great spotter and even managed to get us up close to a lioness and her three cubs which was an amazing experience. Mwajabu had promised us a private game drive and that was exactly what we were given.

We stayed at Camp Bastian which had a lovely atmosphere. The cottages were clean and cosy. The staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Finally, we only used Hello Tanzania for our first part of our holiday which was the Safari element and booked a trip to Zanzibar separately. I would really recommend booking it all through Hello Tanzania as Mwajabu has many contacts with the airlines and people on Zanzibar. Mwajabu went out of her way and spent ages on the telephone arranging an earlier flight for us from Dar es Salaam to Zanzibar even though we had not even booked this part through her company. She then also arranged two drivers, one for a day trip on Zanzibar which she organised for us including a hotel transfer at the end of the day and one for our transfer between terminals in Dar es Salaam which meant all the little pieces of the holiday ran smoothly.

An absolutely fantastic safari with one big issue
5/5

When we looked at options for safaris we choose Hello Tanzania because one of the safaris listed was a 'migration' safari. Our goal was to witness the great wildebeest migration and my husband was very specific about that when he booked the safari. He literally wrote 'the only thing we care about seeing is the migration of the wildebeest'. We met with the representative the night before departure and she gave us our tickets and the name of our camp. After she left I looked on line to discover the wildebeest pass through that camp area in March and April. Needless to say it was too late to make any other arrangements and we went on an absolutely fabulous safari. We did give the rep our feedback when we returned to Dar regarding our disappointment of signing up for a safari that wasn't what we got. Hello Tanzania took care of every detail: they picked us up at our hotel in Dar Es Salaam and took us to the airport, they arranged for air tickets, we were met at the airport near the camp and brought back to the airport after the safari and we were met back in Dar Es Salaam and taken back to our hotel. It made it so easy for us. The camp was of of several owned by the Asilia company and I must say we are very impressed with their concern for the environment and how they have created a model for other companies to show respect for the environment. They also plow money back into the communities. So for instance they help support the education of 12,000 primary school children. The camp used solar power for electricity and to heat water for showers, no plastic water bottles were used in this camp. We were issued stainless steel bottles and they were replenished every time we left the tent. The accommodations were superb with a large tent that was kept spotless, an indoor and an outdoor shower, a toilet with a wonderful view of the Serengeti. The bedroom had a very comfortable king size bed and a wall of screen that overlooked the Serengeti and the river that ran through the camp so we had lots of animal viewing from our tent. We loved our accommodations. We also loved the staff. They were friendly, fun to be with and so accommodating. Every need was addressed immediately although most needs had been anticipated and taken care of in advance. The food was healthy and delicious and any special requests were taken care of. In my case I am lactose intolerant so no whipped cream on my dessert for example. Our guide was a delight and had an eagle eye for spotting game and knew so much about the habitat, the physical characteristics and behaviors of the animals and birds. In 2.5 days my husband took 700 photos because there was so much to see with our guide. His name is Lenga Nasa and I highly recommend him. When we found out he was a Masai, we asked him about his culture and we learned a lot and were grateful for his willingness to share. The trip in every way far exceeded our expectations (this was our third safari by the way. 15 yrs ago we did two safaris in Zimbabwe.)

Mikumi National Park Trip
5/5

I had a very short time to organise my trip. I contacted Hello Tanzania before my departure and Mwajabu was in nonstop contact with me. I travelled by myself from Dar Es Sallam to Mikumi National Park and stayed over night in Camp Bastian in Mikumi. Loved my driver, he was very attentive and funny! We were joined by a park guide that made sure that I got to see all animals. My accommodation was very cute. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious. Mwajabu is very customer orientated. I also have to point out that after careful research of other competitors in the area, Hello Tanzania's services were the cheapest! I had an amazing time and would love to see Mwajabu again!

Everything was well taken care of from start to the end. So efficient!
5/5

Hello Tanzania made our travel experience so pleasant and well taken care of from the minute we arrived DarEsSalaam. We had our Safari Tour in Mikumi and Udzungwa for 2 days, the stay in Camp Bastian was great! I felt like the hospitality there was so personalized and attention to detail. It was lovely. We then transferred to Zanzibar for another 2 days there, before we headed back to DarEsSalaam for our flight back to Dubai. Everything from transfers (car, ferry, charter flight) to accommodation was arranged by them according to whatever my requests were. I communicated directly via whatsapp with Mwajabu and she was always on point in replying to my queries and last minute requests! Truly admirable. All in all, itt was a memorable great experience for my first time in Africa..and I did the right choice in choosing Hello Tanzania to help me out with it. Asante sana!
