Fantastic 3 Day Trip to Mikumi Nationalpark
5/5

We had a fantastic safari with Wildness Safari Ltd. last week to Mikumi. The driver/guide Mr. Sky was an extremely nice person and we highly appreciated his safe driving skills. He was able to see so many animals before we spottet them and brought us to the right places during our game drives. Without him we would definitely have seen much less animals.
We highly recommend Wildness Safari Ltd. in general and Mr. Sky as a Driver in particular for any Safari starting in Dar es Salaam.
The car is an old but amazingly well kept Land Rover with a Safari top for the game drive. Seats are comfy and seatbelts are available as well as a cooling box to keep the drinks cold.
We will defnitely travel with Wildness Safari on our next Safari.

10 Days Adventure Safari
5/5

Wildness Safari are very prompt in responding their mail, bigs up to Ahmed, the Safari expert for arranging the trip. Time fled very fast as 10 days went like 2 days. Everything was well arranged & went as planned. We had a great adventure at the Selous, Ruaha, Udzungwa & Mikumi. These places are awesome & few tourist in these places. We had seen most of the animals in their nature. We had a good vehicle & safari guide Ibra, Ibra was safe driver & he is very professional with knowledge of flora & fauna. We have left our heart & will be coming back again. We recommend Widness Safari

Well-organized safari trip with a old, tired and bad maintained SUV
3/5

Positive: Safari company that has good deals with accommodations. Nice places to stay at, both in Ruaha and Mikumi. The guide we received (Ibra) was good and familiar with the local community. We were picked up at the agreed time from the airport and the manager was good at answering questions before we ordered the safari tour.
The whole trip went well and we saw what we wanted to see. The trip followed this plan we received in advance, not completely but almost. For example, in one of the days it was unrealistic to go for a game drive after driving to the next national park (Ruaha). Although it was in the program.

Negative: On a safari tour you spend most of your day in the car, So the car is essential and vital for a successful trip.
The car was not in a proper condition. It is a reasonably well-used land-cruiser that has not been maintained for a long while.

The left window shook all the time while the car was running and the ventilation system did not work. We noticed that especially when it rained and the front-window from within became foggy because there was no air. Fortunately, it stopped raining after half an hour. It also leaked water from the ceiling down to the feet on the left side of the frontseat.
If you had to close the windows for an unknown reason in the wild and there is no air coming from the cars ventilation system. This should have been fixed before the car was sent on a longer safari ride. Remarkable that this was not taken seriously.

All four tires were in bad condition, hard and old. Particularly the right rear wheel, was not far from bald tyre on the sides. And was directly illegal to use. completely worn out. Especially when driving on longer trips on motorway, rainy days and on rough terrain good tyres is crucial for safety.

Scream sounds were heard when the car braked.. It came from the brake pads. Probably due to very bad brakes.

The left backdoor was very worn out, and one had to pull the lock up/down firmly to make sure it was actually locked. And there was no doorhandle in the innside either if it suddenly opened and one had to close quickly. It may also be unfortunate in a safari situation, in case of dangerous situation where you have to close the door quickly. For example, if an unexpected animal is approaching.

 This puts passengers and clients' safety at risk and these are small obligatory car-expenses every Safari company must have 100 percent in order.

Thanks for traveling with us and the trip went well without any vehicle break down and even without any single tyre puncture.
Due to bad condition of the road there was problem with ventilation, door handle had little problem and 1 tyre was little worn out.
Break pad had some noise as due to bad road condition and mud due to rain.
All have been repaired and all 4 tyres are replaced with new.

Fantastic Southern Tanzania Safari !
5/5

My wife and I went on a 9 Day Tour of Selous GR, Mikumi NP, Udzungwa Mountain NP and Ruaha NP from February 26 - March 6 2018. We had a fantastic time.

This was our first safari and I found Wildness Safari on the SafariBookings.com website. They helped us organize a custom Mid-Range Private tour. I found out – a private tour is exactly that – we could customize our trip however we wanted as it was just for the 2 of us. On our game drives we could pace our game viewing to fit our interests and desires. We found all the accommodations and food to be absolutely fantastic. The food was always superb – fresh, good tasting and nutritious. Every tent/room we stayed in had a nice shower/bathroom. The only downside, is most accommodations in the bush do not have air-conditioning. But the camps are always shady and there are plenty of cold drinks. So everything is good.

We were very happy we booked with Wildness Travel. They were easy to work with and very responsive. We did customize our trip to fit our goals and they worked with us to make sure everything was right for us. Even with the difference in time zones between Tanzania and California, Wildness Safari would respond within a few hours to any email requests we made.

Once on Safari, we had the most excellent guide and driver -- Roger. First, Roger is a very nice human being and a pleasure to be around. Second, he is an expert guide and driver. He knows all the game reserves and national parks completely. He knows where to look for all the animals. He is an expert and can identify all animals, birds, and plant life. We calculated that he has been on roughly 400 Safari's in the last 10 or so years. So he knows his stuff. It is obvious that he loves finding and seeing the animals as much as his clients. He makes everything fun and educational. Life is very good out in the bush -- surrounded by nature and distant horizons!

We wholeheartedly recommend Wildness Safari. They are the best!!
