Excellent with Wildness Safari
We are a family from Sweden who visited Tanzania and Mikumi National Park with Wildness Safari Ltd. The tour operator is very easy and nice to communicate with. Fast and accurate answers when e-mailing. Very good service when booking the safari tour and the accommodation. Excellent guiding during gaming in Mikumi National Park. We were very well taken care of and our guide was really nice, competent and attentive and we experienced many "once-in-a-lifetime"-moments. Superb! Really enjoyed our visit in Tanzania.

Efficient, friendly, reliable service tailored to our requirements and our budget.
Ahmed Khan, the manager responds almost by return to communication, he will research different options to suit the clients needs. I have used his company for school bookings for students visiting Africa for the first time and for adults who like myself are experienced travellers in Africa. His staff are experienced, friendly and speak good English. If anything goes wrong e.g. Vehicle breakdown, it is sorted out quickly with minimum disruption to the trip.

I am travailing with Wildness Safari from 2007. Every time the arrangement was perfect. They are the specialist in Tanzania. And particularly The MD Mr Ahmed Khan. He is just superb.

Everything was perfect
Ahmed, the owner, was fast in his reply and very helpful. I got an answer for everything I wanted to know before booking the safari with them. The accomodation, organization and Selous game reserve were up to my expectations. Ibra, the driver was AMAZING, you could see that he's very experienced and loves his job. We felt safe during the jurney from Dar Es Salaam to Selous (5-6 hours) and during the safari too. He's one of those guys that likes to answer your questions, but also knows that's not always necessary to talk. We asked him many things about Tanzanian culture too and he was very helpful, it was a pleasure to know him.

Outstanding!
Abraham was such a great guide. He went above and beyond for my parents. My mother has arthritis and was having trouble getting in and out of the truck. Abraham had a step-stool commissioned for her so it would be easier. He was very patient with my parents in general. He was also an excellent driver, trying his best to mitigate the bumpy ride.
The tour itself was great. We went to Selous, Ruaha, and Mikumi. We were able to get very close to most of the animals in Selous, saw many giraffes in Ruaha, and spent a wonderful sunset with the hippos in Mikumi. The accommodations worked well for us. Although the food portions were at times way too much.
Overall, it was a great trip. Couldn't have asked for nicer weather or more gracious hosts or a better driver.

Well-organized safari trip with a old, tired and bad maintained SUV
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.

Posted on Jul 3, 2018Thanks 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.

Wildness Safari Tanzania - Ezxellent
We were a group of 14 which visited Tanzania from May 20 to 26th 2017. Wildness Safari Tanzania organised the trip in a very professional way. I would rate them as excellent and recommend them strongly

A fantastic experience to be with Wildness Safari, Tanzania.
It was really an experience, with tour of Tarangire National park, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater organised very well and we all enjoyed the safari and had tons of photographs. Its an lifetime experience.
