African authentic Safari Tour
5/5

Hallo, we haved booked a 9 days Tour in the southern of Tanzania, Ruaha, MIkumi, Udzungwa and Selous. The Organation was nearly perfect. We was 2 Persons , we had one Guide und for some days one cook. The overnite standings was easely but near the african poeple, the breakfast, lunch and dinner was already perfect. We didn't know what was coming , so it was always, every day a surprise to came in contact with the very friendly poeple. You must know, for us it was very intresting, when you want a luxery tour, you must pay much more and you see only the half of the living Africa. The tour was also strenght, because every day on the road and in the parks, when we had known this, so we had booked 3 days more, for example in the future: 2 overnite in the Udzungwa Mountains (go relexed trekking or overnite also in the mountain in tent with an ranger) 3 overnites in Ruaha ( walking safari, Night safari and hole day safari) in the Mikumi 2 overnite (it will be enough for hole day safari) and in the selous 3 overnites (river safari, also night safari , walking safari and relexing in the wilderness camp, its perfect--- big tent like nomads in the nature and wonderful manager and staff) -------Everytime ever very friendly Guide ( Fikirih)and cook all perfect and it was the 5 th Tour that we stayed in Africa ( two times now in Tanzania, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe).Best regards to the Team of Grassroots Safari( the right name for this Organisation !!!!! P.S.: You have wishes, no Problem, ask Micky the Manager it will be organized.

German: Wir haben 9 Tage gebucht, anstrengende, wegen langen Fahrten, die Distanzen sind schon groß und die Strassenverhältnisse afrikanisch, zum Teil Schotterpisten. Wir hatten noch keine so authentische und nahe an / bei der Bevölkerung organisierte Safari. Alles hat genau gepasst, jeden Tag eine Überraschung. Unser Fahrer und ein extra Koch haben alles organisiert . Wer eine Luxus Safari ohne Nähe möchte oder sucht der muß wesentlich mehr bezahlen und bekommt nicht die Nähe die zum pulsierenden Leben Afrikas dazugehört. Bei Fragen und Wünschen seht Micky immer zur Verfügung und managt alles sehr gerne. Ein Tip: für solch eine Tour sind 3 Tage etwas erhohlsamer, da die Entfernungen und die Fahrten zu den unterschiedlichen Parks doch sehr groß sind. Liebe Grüße an das ganze Grassroots Team, welches für seine angebotenen Touren auch den richtigen Namen trägt. Jederzeit wieder !!!

The perfect trip
5/5

We took a three day safari into Selous game reserve with Grassroots. We are a family traveling with two preteens. We were absolutely in the clouds with our trip, the communication before was great, the organization of the pick up and activities was spot on. Our guide and driver was Fikiri and the guy is the perfect guide, a wildlife specialist that knows the ins and outs of this amazing land. We stayed in the Selous wilderness camp and they go highly recommended for our part. The camp is in an amazing location on a riverside with monkeys whipping about in the trees,hippos and crocs in the river below. The tents can hardly be called tents, they are luxurious, clean with full facilities and privacy. Staff as friendly and helpful as can be imagined.
All in all an amazing experience and with that price ticket we feel it was great value for what we paid.

Perfect 3-day Safari in Selous
5/5

We had a lovely time in Selous with Grassroots Safaris. We booked a 3-day Safari, which was awesome. The Wilderness Camp is a lovely place to stay, it's more of a hotel than a camp! Service was more than perfect and we could see hippos from the breaktfast table. The combination of boat safari, game drive and walking safari was very nice as we were able to see very different animals in a short period of time. Communication with Grassroots Safaris was easy and everything worked out as we wished. We would highly recommend to book a Safari with Grassroots.

5/5

We were glad about cooperation with Grassroots. Service was good, we have seen a lot beautiful views with hippos, antilops, giraffes, lions, zebras and etc. we had nice picnics under baobab trees. Gide Fikiri told us a lot interesting things about animals and tied showed a lot animals. He is professional Gide, driver and friendly boy.

Accomodation in Mloka Safari Lodge was unforgettable with warm welcome, hospitable owners, kind and friendly staff. Cozy luxury lodge in the typical African style, tasty kitchen and wonderful service.

Incredible experience with the most attentive guides!
5/5

Everything about our safari with Grassroots was amazing. Being our first time in Africa and having 2 young girls there was a certain amount of trepidation but also excitement in what we would see and where we would go. Our guide Ally and cook Mr Scouty were so friendly and knowledgeable, and really looked after us. Scouty’s food was the best!!! We saw a huge array of animals and travelled long distances over 5 days. Perhaps the only suggestion would be to shorten the driving distance on the first day from Dar es Salaam... other than that it was perfect. Highly recommend Grassroots, Ally and Scouty. We’ll always remember the experience and our new friends.
