Professional customer service, great experience, a lot of FUN.
I enjoyed every bit of safari with Nyasi Adventure. The communication while choosing between offers was on the highest professional level. Robert runs a business amazingly, he tried and did all to provide what we needed and what was the best for our safari experience. The safari itself was a great experience. Although short (2 days) but very satisfying and fulfilling. We saw all animals we could, had an amazing food and great hotel. I highly recommend safari with Nyasi. If I come back to Tanzania one day I will definitely do longer safari with Nyasi.

WOW! If your thinking of going on a Safari don't think any more. Make it Happen you wont regret it.
African safari has been on my bucket list and something my dad and I have always wanted to do. We chose to go in August during the dry season hoping to see more animals around watering holes. We Booked through Nyasi Adventure. Robert was great with email communication and making sure we got our flights and hotels arranged. He listened to what we wanted to get out of our Safari and made a seven day itinerary for us. Robert responded to my every email within 24 hours.
We landed and took a taxi to our hotel where we spent our first night in Del mar. Our safari was a private tour with my dad and I in a 4WD photographic pop-up roof safari vehicle. Our first guide Davis who spoke very good english. Davis picked us up from our hotel and we started our drive to the Selous game reserve where we stayed at Selous Hippo lodge. Everyone was very friendly and the food was good. We arrived at the lodge in time for lunch and then took time to get settled. Later in the afternoon we took a two hour boat safari with a guide from the lodge through the Rufiji river where we were able to see Crocodiles, hipos, and many species of birds. We also learned some African history. Two hours was just the right amount of time on the boat. We went back and ate dinner. We always had plenty of food and the food was always amazing.
Next day we ate breakfast at 7AM and then Davis our guide took us out on the Selous game reserve where we spent the day. We took a box lunch so we could stay out and see more animals. We saw so many animals which included Lions eating a recently killed Giraffe, Buffalo, giraffe, elephant, Zebra, etc. In the Selous game reserve we were able to see a diversity of wetland, dry grass land, and light acacia forest. Im not sure if the game reserve opens earlier. It would be nice to be able to be out on the reserve when the sun rises. But that may be difficult to do when staying in a lodge when breakfast is scheduled.
We ended up not having a third day at Selous or a half day walking safari the fourth day which ended up being just fine. We ended up catching a flight out early on our third day to Serengiti National Park. We were greeted by Frank who would be our guide for the next five days. We opted for the tented camps/lodging option which was perfect for us. The weather was cool and our tent included a bed, flushing toilet and a warm shower. Frank was very knowledgable about the African history and wild life. He was amazing at always making sure our vehicle was in the perfect location to get the best photos. We were able to see most of the animals that were listed in our guide's book. We were able to see five Cheetahs, Over a 100 lions with several recent kills, two Servals which are hard to find, two Rhinos which are also difficult to find, Several Leopards with recent kills, a lot of elephants, Zebras, Hundreds of giraffes, cape buffalo, Crocodiles, hyenas, impalas, wildebeests, Hartebeest, Thomson's and Grant's Gazelle, bush buck, water buck, mountain reed buck, baboons, monkeys, warthogs, dwarf mongoose, Damara Dik-Dik, Eland, Kudu, and many others. We also saw many bird species. Frank could spot things other guides would just drive by. The weather was cool in the mornings and evenings which was refreshing. Food was always good.
Our sixth day we went to the Ngorongoro crater where we spent the afternoon. It is the 8th natural wonder of the world. Animals seemed to be more concentrated here. After a half day in the Crater We then drove to Ngorongora lodge which was beautiful. Our last day we traveled to the Arusha airport. As we traveled we visited with our guide and he stopped at small shops along the way to get souvenirs. We flew out and arrived back in Dar where Robert picked us up and took us to our Hotel.
Over all this was an amazing trip. I could have not planned it better myself. Everything went smoothly. Everyone went out of their way to make our trip memorable. I would definitely recommend Nyasi Adventure for your future Safari without any hesitation. They will plan the perfect Safari for you. Don't wait any longer if your thinking about a Safari you wont regret it. Go to their website directly which helps them avoid additional advertising fees. Robert and Davis will take great care of you.

Work Field Visit to Morogoro and Mikumi
Davis was knowledgeable, safe, punctual, and a great travel companion. Davis saved my life (long story).
I was doing work out in Morogoro, and he was able to navigate back roads (panya roads) with ease. When we went to Mikumi, he knew where the good spots were to spot wildlife. Overall, I had a great experience with Nyasi Adventure.
In addition, payment was easy and they took credit card through an online link.

Fantastic 2 day safari in Mikumi National Park
We were on a two day safari to Mikumi with a fantastic guide who was very nice and knowledgeable.
On the way to and from the safari he explained things about Tanzania and about the scenery we went through, which was very interesting to listen to.
We were lucky with both weather and seeing animals on both days. Our guide knew exactly where to take us, which made us come very close to the animals. He could also teatch us things about the animals, how they live or how they get their food etc. We saw lots of lions, giraffes, elephants, zebras, impalas, hippos, birds and many many more..
We can certainly recommend booking a safari with Nyasi!
A dream honeymoon and trip of a lifetime
After alot of research we decided to book with Nyasi for our honeymoon safari. From the very first contact with Robert the entire process was efficient and very well handled with Robert giving us alot of very useful advice to help customise the tour to exactly what we wanted.
We did a southern and northern safari with Davis as our guide in the south and Manuel as our guide in the north. The whole safari was excellent and very well organised with both Davis and Manuel being fantastic guides who looked after us fantastically and really made it the trip of a lifetime we had hoped it would be.
We saw so many animals and learned so much about the tanzanian culture and people that was made even more special with the expert knowledge of our guides.
We would absolutely recommend Nyasi for your safari (And have been to our colleagues!)

Everything was very professional and accurate
We took a short safari to Mikumi on our way to Zanzibar. Nyasi Adventure offered the best price out of 11 agencies I've contacted and were among the first to answer my price request mail.
We've booked without any deposit. Nyasi's manager and driver met us at the airport in the afternoon upon arrival, I've paid the settled amount and got an official receipt. The car was ok (the very vehicle we went to the safari). Not new, but comfortable enough (no air conditioning).
We got to Mikumi in the evening (our driver, Gaston, was great at getting us to Tan Swiss Lodge where we stayed on time, so we could get some sleep after a long flight).
In the morning we went out to the safari. There were some difficulties at the entrance (some troubles with our driver paying with a card of another company on his previous visit), so we've lost about an hour.
It was all compensated bu a most wonderful safari! We've even saw a lioness (how our driver noticed her under a bush - it's still a mystery, we've managed to see her only after he drove the car on a few-meter distance!), and a great pack of elephants (with babies), crossing our road and posing for us.
We were back at the Dar as Salam airport right in time for our flight to Zanzibar.
To sum up: that was our first trip to Africa, and I've heard that local people are not the most accurate in terms of timing (and our further experience confirmed that). But with Nyasi Adventure everything was different. They've delivered everything they'd promised, everything we'd agreed upon, for a fair price, at the right time. There were a few drawbacks (at the park entrance), but we were compensated for that with a great safari experience.
And, a big "thank you" goes to Gaston, our driver and guide. He knows his job really well, both as a driver and a guide.
When we come back to Tanzania, I hope to go with Nyasi Adventure for a longer safari. Thank you!

Exceptional trip to Ngorongoro
I had a absolutely wonderful trip to Ngorongoro Conservation Area! None of it would have been possible without Davis Albert at Nyasi Adventure. I was in the area for a work trip and had no time to plan a safari. Davis was extremely helpful and responsive during the process. All of the accommodations, meals, activities, etc. were extremely well planned. I also had the pleasure of having a private tour with two guides. Both Davis and Emmanuel were very well informed and could answer all my conservation/wildlife questions during the safari. They were both so kind and helpful! Many thanks to Davis and Emmanuel at Nyasi Adventure; I hope I can go on a safari with them again!

Amazing experience with the nicest people
Nyasi adventures was a lovely company to go with. They took care of all our needs and were the friendliest people I have met. Their knowledge of the areas was outstanding and any question we could think of, they could answer. They gave me one of the best experiences of my life and when I come back there is no other company I would even consider.
