For a great time and a good safari i would gladly book once again with grassroots company.
The safari was great, we were lucky enough to see a lot of animals .The water fall,and the tracking was over filling. The guide was really sweet and friendly. All the time asking ihow we are. Food was just like a 5 star resturant. Although we though we are going to have normal rooms, but at the end we had just camps it was still ok. The place how they set it up, was like a picture, full of trees. In the wild, but everything up to standard.
So in total we were very happy with everything we had. I would recomaned this company over and over again.

One of the best travel experiences ever!
We visited Tanzania seven years ago and we were on a 2-night budget tour in Selous Game Reserve with Micky and co. The safari was one of the best experiences I've ever had and I would definitely want to go back there one day!! Everything was very well organized and we had a lot of fun. Already the drive from Dar to Selous was something that I'll always remember, driving through those small villages in the Tanzanian countryside. In Selous, we stayed at a camp by the Rufiji River and slept in tents, which was very exciting. And the food served there was great: I still remember the delicious cucumber soup for lunch and the buffalo meat for dinner, cooked of course on a fire under so brightly shining stars, which are impossible to see in Europe. But the best was of course the animals. We saw many many elephants, giraffes and so on, and even a leopard! I definitely recommend this safari!

It was perfect. Best food we ever had in tanzania at Decken Camp and incredible experiences.
I would recommend Grassroots as a provider which is very friendly and helpfully.
We visited Udzungwa and Mikumi and it was a very nice experience! The campsides he offered are very nice too with very friendly staff. Hondo Hondo is wellknown and the best place to start to the waterfalls.
Decken Camp was very new, I think we were the 6th guests they had. Very, very friendly, clean and near to the Mikumi park. But the best was the food they offered. Everyone also the kids were excited!
We will come back as soon as possible next year.

wildlife galore
We had a great time on safari with Micky and Gabriel. They picked us up in Daar e Salam and drove us to Selous game park. We were on a tight budget so we slept in tents in a campground just outside the park. Micky cooked us 3 meals a day which were delicious! We spent all day in Selous and saw all the animals we could imagine, even the rare wild dogs. Grassroots was great and excellent value. They were very flexible and happy to stay as long as we wanted in the park. I would recommend them.

great time in Ruaha
We went to Ruaha, stopping at Uluguru Mountains on the way and at Udzungwa Mountains on the way back. We really enjoyed traveling with Grassroots. It was so easy and convenient to organize our trip with them. We just told them some places that we wanted to see and they adapted the trip as per your wishes, it was so personalized. They even gave us several options and we discussed them together. Plus, they have good prices, the food was great, and the driver really knew what he was doing, we felt safe and were glad to be with him. Grassroots' people were very nice and always made sure that we are good and enjoy the trip. We also had good laughs and will not forget this trip. I highly recommend it, I was living in Dar Es Salaam during 1 year and never found such a good and friendly company.
Great experience - we had a fantastic safari due thanks to the Grassroot Sarari team!
The Grassroots Safari team combines the unique values of a) understanding a visitors preferences/references and b) ability to translate this leveraging their local knowledge and connections - setting up every trip for success! We saw the big five within 36 hours :) thanks Grasstoot Safari team!

Good experience, excellent servise from operators
Our safari trip to Selous game reserve was perfectly organized. We stayed two nights at a budget accomodation. It was perfectly suitable for us. We had a driver/guide and a chef with us. The food was so good and it was more than enough for us. We took a full day game drive which was a good experience. I would not recommed the walking safari. It was just walking in the near by forest and looking at the baobab trees and other vegetation. Not a good experience. Consentrate on the game drives. Those will give you so much more.

Definitely again!
In November of 2016 we did a 8-day safari with Grassroots to Udzungwa Mountains National Park, Selous and Ruaha and we loved it! It's a long trip on the road (+/- 4 days of driving) but definitely worth it as you will enjoy every moment (of the other +/- 4 days). Our guide Fikiri is a top driver and we felt safe every bit of the way. Scout was a great cook and made us 3-course dinners a night. The accomodations were basic, but fine. So all in one: we had a wonderful time and would travel with Grassroots again when we go to East-Africa.

Good economic private safari
We went with a small party of 2 along with a driver and cook from Dar to Selous, Ruaha and Mikumi in 7 days. The trip was well planned, due to road conditions and traffic around Dar a bit tight schedule but that was to our own request. We experienced the journey as well organized, sleeping places up to our expectations (we went on a tight budget so we definitely cut some corners here and there) and sometime above it. The driver / guide was knowledgeable, fun to talk to and an experienced 4x4 driver. He knew his way around the park and gave us plenty time to make pics and videos. Our lovely cook made very tasty breakfast, lunch and 3-course dinners every night, and even made some real Tanzanian food when we requested some. The car needed some water now and then (December = hot season) but it made for some welcome leg stretching. All in all we had fun and Grassroots delivered. One of the owners even invited us upon return for dinner, which we used to evaluate person to person. Very good experience. Next time, we'll take some more time inside the parks and less travelling. Less parks = more safari...
