Reviews
First Safari Experience = Awesome
Ernest is one of the best game drivers by far. He really knows the good spots, is very knowledgeable, and is a great guy! Accommodations were great too. Thank you so much for making my first safari a great one!
Fantastic Experience!
I went for a 3 day safari with Chabo Africa, which was incredible start to finish. Previous to arrival I emailed back and forth with Elen, who answered my...many emails. I had a few things I wanted that were different from a standard booking, and her help in navigating that crucial. Once on the safari (I went with George) the time was somewhat unbelievable. You're in a jeep with a pop up roof; a 360 view of an incredible landscape and then...animals. Everywhere. Elephants, lions, Kudu, zebra....we saw a ton. And anytime I had a question George was happy to oblige with an answer - I mean, the guy is full of knowledge. Also I hate birdwatching and even that somehow became awesome, probably because the birds here are huge (I saw one eating a snake) and colorful. So yes. Long story short, the park, trip, and company were all awesome.
Amazing Ruaha two-days trip
My friend and I went for a two days trip to Ruaha NP with Ernesto of Chabo Africa Safari. Everything was well organized in advance and Ernesto has a lot of knowledge about the nature, environment and animals in the park. In addition, he is a great driver speaks good English. Ruaha NP is incredible: Beautiful views and landscapes. We went during the rain season and everything was beautifully green. Absolute must-see when you are in the Southern part of Tanzania!!

Professional service and Warm Tanzanian Hospitality at unbeatable prices!
I booked a 7-day tour to Mikumi, Udzungwa and Ruaha for myself and 5 friends with Chabo. A tight schedule in the difficult rainy season. The trip went off without the tiniest hitch, all arrangements worked perfectly and with great flexibility. Game viewing was awesome, no small feat with the grass so high this time of year. Our guide Modest grew up and lives here - every one knows him and he is on his home ground; we were welcomed and well cared for all along the way. I am an experienced guide and tour leader myself (in other parts of the world) and know top quality when I see it. I fully reccomend Modest and his company , they are totally reliable and will not disappoint you.
Exceeded all of our expectations :)
after doing a lot of safari tours all over tanzania, i am pretty sure that Ernest from Chabo Africa Advebture is by far the most skilled and sociable safari guide that i have seen.
his routes were very well thought out and his skills for spotting animals were unbelievable. with his good contacts and connections, he was always keeping track wirh all the animals that have been spotted in the park, which granted us a couple of chances to experience stuff which is definitely not included in the average safari tour ;)
the downside could have been that he insisted on picking us up a bit too early.. which tirned out to be just fine :D
its definitely worth travelling to iringa just to go on a safari with him :D

Personable and Knowledgeable
I was duly impressed with both the friendliness and knowledge even back in Modest's early days as a guide. Uncanny ability to make you feel right at home and safe, even as you wander close to lions, water buffalo, and such. We've even remained friends over the years.

Family safari
We went for a holiday with the whole family (2 parents and 5 children) and we had the time of our lives!
We started at Dar-Es-Salaam and made a trip past various parks in the south of Tanzania, like Selous, Ruaha, and Mikumi. We were stunned by the breathtaking views along the way. Tanzania is such a beautiful country with nice white beaches, impressive mountains and most important, very kind people. Everything was planned, so we could sit back, relax and enjoy our time in Tanzania.
Modest was our guide and he told us everything about the areas we crossed. He taught us a few things about the nature and wildlife of the different parks, he showed us 4 of the big 5 and he made us laugh a lot because he is a really funny guy.
If you want a nice, relaxing holiday with some very interesting experiences and with everything well cared for, I would recommend this company. I'm sure you will have a wonderful holiday!

Great safari
Great experience with chabo safari! The communication before our trip was good, quick response and very helpfull since we werent sure were to go. We decided to go to Ruaha park and Mikumi (which is on the way to ruaha) since serengeti would be filled with tourists at this time. Our Tour guide Modest picked us up at the aiport and filled our trip with his jokes and big smile. We saw a lot of different animals and Modest had a great eye for spotting them! Would Highly recommend doing your safari with chabo.
