Fantastic 3 Day Trip to Mikumi Nationalpark
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.

I had the best time of my life thanks to Wildness Safari!
My friend and I booked a private tour with Wildness Safari at the beginning of September, and had an absolutely incredible time! We planned on doing the southern circuit of Tanzania for 13 days/12 nights, spending time at Mikumi National Park, Ruaha National Park, and Selous Game Reserve during our trip.
I cannot comment on the behind-the-scenes as my friend handled all the bookings for this trip, but it was his third time using Wildness Safaris, so that is definitely saying something about the good service they provide! The owner, Ahmed was very accommodating with our needs from the start, and the tour he helped us plan was very well organised.
Our guide Rajab was phenomenal throughout the entire trip, going out of his way to make sure that we had a good experience and saw as much wildlife as possible. He was very knowledgeable about the various birds and wildlife in the different areas, and his ability to spot the animals so effortlessly was mind-blowing. This was certainly a major advantage of choosing to book a guided tour instead of a self-drive option, as I can guarantee that we would have missed out on a lot more sightings!
The camps we stayed at were very tranquil with the basic facilities needed. They were all situated outside the parks, but within a short 30 minute (maximum) drive from the main gates. Wildness Safaris arranged for a chef to travel with us during the trip so we didn't have to worry about anything, and we were spoiled with the food that was prepared for us - really delicious !
We saw loads of wildlife during our trip, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, greater kudu, wildebeest, bush buck, impala, as well and many different bird species. Wildness Safari also helped us book a boat cruise and walking safari, both of which I would highly recommend.
It was my first time to Tanzania and I can honestly say that I had one of the best experiences of my life, and it was all thanks to Wildness Safaris! Their staff are very friendly, guides are knowledgeable and skilled, and the tours are very well organized - highly recommended!
I left a piece of my heart in Tanzania, and I hope I get the chance to go back there! And if I do, I will definitely use this company again! Special thanks to Ahmed, Rajab and our chef, Leonard!

Great experience!!
I booked the 2-day Safari to Mikumi National Park spontaniously for last weekend, since I was on a business trip in Tanzania. First I was worried to travel as a woman alone in Tanzania, but Ahmed and John from the Wildness Team organized everything so perfectly, that I felt very safe at all times. My guide John picked me up at the hotel early in the morning on Saturday and brought me to the airport again after the trip on Sunday evening. On the Safari, we got to see a lot of elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffalos and even a lion right next to the Jeep! I enjoyed especially the open roof of the jeep, since I had a perfect panorama view, which is just fantastic in the park. I was very lucky with my accomodation too, I got to stay in Vuma Hills Tented Camp, which is a really luxury tent experience. I met the manager of the place and the other guests in the evening when we had dinner together. I even got to feed the bush babies at night with bananas and got to see some wild cats which were around the camp at night. So overall the whole trip was a great experience for me, that I do not want to miss!

Professional and safe drivers who spoke good English and had good educational topics about safari
The drivers had good communication skills. we had 9 people in our party and had to take 2 cars from Dar. They had good communicatation on radio during trip. They provided safe driving, and had very good knowledge of the animals to share. I had a youth group and it was very educational for them.

School visit to Tanzania including working in 3 different schools, a hospital and safari for 26.
What a fantastic experience. Everything was as we planned. Ahmed was always on hand to support us. The complicated 3 week trip ran very smoothly. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Wildness if you are thinking of visiting Tanzania. We will use Wildness again next year. All the drivers were helpful, knowledgable and friendly especially our incredible safari guides. Whilst on safari our enjoyment was the most important thing to them. Ahmed is a brilliant organiser and met and exceeded all my requests including changes to the trip whilst we were in Tanzania. Don't look any further.

Our tour operator was a great communicator and provided awesome service!
Wildness Safari communicated very well about the exact details of the tour before we chose them as our tour guides. The guide picked us up from our location in Dar and drove us for 10 days to Selous, Mikumi, Udzungwa, Ruaha, and finally returning us back to our location in Dar. The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the typical wildlife animals and it was a very nice surprise that he also knew a lot about the birds in those local areas. That was a nice bonus as we are also bird watchers. Since this was a road trip, there were surprises along the way (police roadblocks, traffic accidents in the mountains, etc) and the guide knew exactly how to handle the situations and get us back on track. I can't stress enough how thankful we were to have a local guide taking us around. It made for a much more enjoyable experience and I highly recommend Wildnesss Safari.

An excellent safari experience
Visiting Selous, Ruaha & Mikumi by Wildness Safari Tanzania was a nice experience. We got a touch of Africa, it is more than just a safari.
Wildness Safari Tanzania provided an excellent guide/driver. The communication with the agency was good, fast replies insured that they are worthy of trust. All misunderstandings and troubles were solved immediately. Our tour went according to the plan.
However, looking back, I would add a day or two to our schedule due to large distances between parks. Driving 300 km in Africa means be in the car the whole day. As we spent a lot of time in the car, a better one should be provided by the agency.
Thanks to Wildness Safari Tanzania we spent a wonderful time in Tanzania.
