Breathtaking South Tanzania Safari
We have made very good experience with Faustin. The driver/guide Davis was outstanding, he allways picked us up in time, he cleaned the vehicle everyday, his knowledge about flora, fauna, country and people was excellent, we felt always safe and he took allways care about us in a perfect way. The vehicle was ideally suited, the accommodations well chosen. All in all well and at a good price. Our expectations were exceeded. The only point of criticism: The travel plan was not quite agree with the actual flow. At the end we got a complemantary additional half day iland tour in Dar-es-Salaam, and he took us personaly to the airport which was also not included in our deal. Thanks again Faustin & Davis!

Great personal Service
Faustin and his team are not a huge operator but provide excellent service and were dedicated to make sure my wife and I had a great time. We went after our Ngornogoro Crater Safari to Zanzibar (Melia Hotel). Tanzania is one of the best places to see great wildlife in combination with beautiful beaches.
If you are looking for a good, reliable operator in Tanzania, look no further.

not a good experience poor vehical
Vehicle was not up to standards, old, brake and engine problems and uncomfortable noisy. It was difficult to photograph from the way in which the seats were positioned to a very small roof hatch. The accommodations at the some of the lodges were poor and food not all that great. There was a lot of driving between parks (8-10 hours) in an unconformable vehicle with more time driving than viewing animals which were few far apart. I would not recommend this safari to anyone.

Absolutely fantastic experience
I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.
Faustin was always quick to reply to emails and any queries I had.
You can tell Faustin genuinely cares about providing you a great safari experience, adapting to the conditions quickly and making sure you see as much wildlife as possible.
The bush walkings and boat safari were just fantastic as well.
I wouldn't change a single thing about my tour if I could. 5/5

Strongly do not recommend Faustin's tours
I strongly do not recommend Faustin's tours. On June 1, I deposited 200 US dollars in Faustin's bank account as part of a partial payment of a safari scheduled on July 22. On July 20 I read his email saying that he had to cancel the safari because I was the only person scheduled and it was not profitable for him, he asked me the best way to proceed with the refund. I told him to do it through Western Union. He told me he was going to do it the next day, but he didn't and communication with him started to be very low since then. Then he told me he will go on July 22 in the morning. I called and texted him that day in the afternoon and he didn't reply. By that time I was already in Mikumi doing a safari and I asked my safari guide if he knows Faustin and explained him the situation. Fortunately, he knew him and called him to say that we were going to the police if he doesn't give the money back. Only after that, Faustin gave my money back.
I trusted Faustin because he had overall good reviews and he immediately replied to me when I asked for a quote, but if I would have known what was going to happen, I would have never chosen him to do safari.
Reply from Faustin Tour and Travel
Posted on Jul 26, 2018Fiorella asked for sharing safari and sharing safari is possible only if we get some one else who want to share but all of our client rejected to do sharing and they needed private safari so we had no one to join with fiorella, That is why we cancelled and send her email for cancellation. We asked her to send her refund through her phone number becouse we was about to depart for safari but she rejected to receive money through the phone as we always do here in tanzania and fiorella live in Tanzania. Then fiorella asked to send her money through the western union and that time i was at the airport pick up my client to selous. all in all i sent her money through the same way of the phone transfer, so if she could accept the phone transfer her refund could not take even one minite but her desired way of receiving money was problem to our time limit

Faustin did absolutely everything on his power to make our stay in Tanzania delightful.
Thank you so much for everything Faustin. We enjoyed every second of our safari thanks to you guys. Every detail was perfectly organised, timings, scenarios, the food was lovely, and our tour guide, Novath, was the loveliest, most knowledgeable tour guy we have ever had the pleasure to be with.
We did a safari around Mikumi - smaller than other national parks but with the same beauty and animals, which allows you to see all the animals in a much less crowded park. We also traveled to enjoy the beautiful Udzungwa mountains national park, where we hiked up to the top to a wonderful waterfall (you can swim on the bottom)
I would recommend Faustin tours and Novath without hesitation.
Take care my friends! Hakuna Matata

I knew i made a good choice for letting Faustin organises my son's honeymoon safari
Faustin has been very helpful and avalaible from the earlier booking until the completion of the safari. He kindly and patiently responds to all the queries and questions we had. I would highly recommand to anyone who have a keen interrest in human contact and interaction to consult Faustin for their trip to Tanzania
