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.

6 days - mikumi and ruaha
Before we booked our safari we gained a lot of advice from Chabo. We didn't know exactly where to go.
Their advice helped us a lot and we were able to arrange a suitable safari straight from the Airport.
Modest is a very nice guy, with lots of jokes. Very good to have on your safari. He spotted a lot of animals with his so called 'eagle eye'. The accomodations where we staid were good.
I would recomment Chabo to everyone who wants a safari fit to their needs.

Adventure with Modest: Fly camping in Selous
If you want to get the special kick on a safari, you should go for fly camping together with Modest. Thats what we have done in January 2015. The pathes have been already a little bit mushy and the tents were flooded, but we took it with humor and Modest did his best to manage the situation. And after all we got our cheetah, hunting an antelope. What more do you want? My unlimited recommendation.

Fantastic, well English speaking guides with a lot of knowledge about Tanzania (and insider tips)
We went with Modestus from Iringa (where we stayed some days at Neema Crafts - very good place) to Isimila.
He explained us all needed about that traditional place while we walked around as well as the flowers and animals we have seen. After that days we went with him to the Ruaha NP, where we stayes three days in a very nice tent lodge with very good food. Here we made a two days visitation of the Ruaha NP, one at day time, one in the very early morning. It was fantastic to have breakfast in the park. Back in Iringa we spent a day and an evening with Modestus and learned a lot more as well. Choose this guides - you can´t do a mistake!

Superb experience in Ruaha
Among my 6 safari experiences, exploring the Ruaha with Chabo has been one of the best. The park itself is outstanding even during wet season and since the first moment I had the impression that Ruaha is Ernest's second home! His great passion, instinct, professionalism and experience has led us to discover the wonders of Ruaha for 3 days that are not related to animals only, but the nature itself. I also would like to thank Ernest because helped us a lot when one of us got sick. Definetely Chabo is a reliable company and Ernest a brilliant guide! Asante Sana!

Great guide, great adventure
We (three people) went on safari with Chabo Africa to Ruaha NP. Although it was not the best season, it was awesome. Ernest, who happened to be our guide but also who is the founder of Chabo, drove us in many places in Ruaha for almost three days. He was
- very competent: he knew all about animals and even fauna. He studied a lot on these topics plus he has an amazing experience in Tanzania's parks as ranger, cook, guide (and maybe even something more!).
- very professional: he planned the games in advance and matched his plans with our wishes so as to get the best experience for us
- very helpful and friendly: any time we needed some help, also on the way from Iringa to the park, he was always there for us. He is very kind-hearted.
As we are thinking to come back to Ruaha NP to see it during the dry season, we will definitely do it with Chabo Africa. No doubts!
Nice job!
The company personnel is very trustworthy. I advice them!

First safari - the best
Helen, Tom and I went with Ernest on overnight safari and had the most amazing time. Ernest is extremely knowledgeable and informative, patient, funny and kind. He knew where to go for sightings, including wild dogs which was a really find on a first safari. Would highly recommend the company and Ernest. Thank you so much!!
