A magnificent safari in the Ngorongoro crater
Many thanks to Robert for organizing our African adventure. The children were delighted with the trip.
Special thanks to our guide to driver Davis. Two days of accompanying us and solving all the problems. One of them, for example, was a bridge washed away at night to Arusha airport. We were able to fully appreciate the skill of Davis and the willingness of his jeep to solve our problem :) - the crossing of the river. Thanks guys!

Splendid Safari - Tarangire/Ngorongoro
The team at Nyasi Adventure provided gave us a safari trip to remember! Being an operator made of local guides, Robert and his team arranged the perfect itinerary based on the length of our stay and our safari goals. We trusted their judgment and recommendations and we are so glad we did because the trip exceeded our already grand expectations. The safari jeep was incredibly comfortable and the accommodations they picked for us was world class. Davis (our driver/guide) ensured our safety throughout our journey and did an incredible job getting us in perfect positions to see the unforgettable African wildlife. We have recommended Nyasi Adventure to all of our family and friends and are already looking forward to going back for another visit with them. Thank you, Nyasi!

Fantastic safari operator, great communication, helpful with planning
I have only fantastic things to say about Nyasi Adventure! While planning our trip, we were overwhelmed with all of the options (where to visit, how long to stay, getting around inside the country), and the guys at Nyasi helped us out with everything before we even got there. They planned our flights inside, they gave us honest opinions on where we should go based on the time we had and what we wanted to see, booked our lodging, and took away the guesswork of planning. Specifically, we emailed them (and several other operators) about going to the Serengeti, and while the other operators said "sounds good, here's the price", Nyasi asked why we wanted to go to the Serengeti, then said they could make that happen, but also gave us other options that fit what we were looking for that better matched our timeline. They were quick to respond to our (tons of) emails, and overall very easy to work with. They let us make the decisions we cared about, and handled the rest perfectly.
When we actually got there, they were wonderful - every suggestion they had made for our trip was perfect. The communication between everyone was great too - we had indicated over email we wanted to see elephants, and our guides were made aware of that and made sure to spend some extra time when we came across some. I can't imagine a better safari experience, we saw everything I was hoping to see - elephants, lions, giraffes, hippos, even a blank rhino. Our guides were funny, courteous, and super helpful - I had a mobility issue on the trip that made getting around a little more difficult than normal, but it wasn't an issue at all. When we finished our tours for the day, we discussed what we were thinking for the next day, so we could change plans based on how we were feeling and what we wanted to see.
When we finished our safari we did hang around in Tanzania a bit more, but when we were concerned about having too much time at the airport before flying home, Nyasi set up a hotel for us, and even picked us up from the airport to take us to the hotel for our layover. We actually arrived an hour early, and thought we were going to have to wait for our ride, but he knew someone at the airport who called when we landed early, and we waited a total of 5 minutes. This is way above and beyond what I expected from a safari company, but it took all the stress out of our trip. In addition to the fantastic experience we had with them, it was nice to support a small business that was started and owned by locals. We've already started talking about our next vacation here, hoping to bring some friends and family, and will definitely book with Nyasi again!
Simply great!
I had a very satisfying time during my field visits in Tanzania. I found Nyasi Adventure to be professional, and can be relied on for travel and adventure in Tanzania.

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.

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.
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!
