Very nice and very friendly staff would recommend to friends to visit Zanzibar
Most friendly and helpful ever so a lovely and great first experience had a fabulous time and hope to be back for longer visit next time.
An experience of a lifetime!
My friend and I travelled a 5 days 4 nights circuit through lake manyara, ngorogoro, serengeti and tarangirr using mercury travels, and we were very satisfied with the experience. Our guide, Stewart, was a total pro at his job, and was almost always among the first to get to the spots where lions, cheetas and leopards recided. In addition, not once did we break a wheel on the whole trip. One truly appreciates this feat, after having driven past several vehicles that had to stop in the middle of the savannah to change wheels or wait for assistance. His driving was really top notch, and I must say that this turned out to be one of the top priorities in hindsight. In addition to this, he could answer almost all questions we had about the animals, and otherwise had a good set of books to fill in the blanks. The sleeping facilities were fine for the budget, with nice sleeping mattresses and warm sleeping bags. Also, the owner of mercury went the extra mile to get us to our hotel a bit outside of Arusha, and we appreciated the service. I would definately recommend Mercury tours for anyone wanting to go on a safe, professional safari!

Very professional company, everything well-organised.
As a family we were very satisfied. From the same beginning everything was well-organised. The camp (Panorama) was nice, facilities ok, also a tent, atmosphere great. Our guide (Abraham) was fantastic, he knows a lot about animals and their habits. Also a chef was great and he cooked delicious meals.

Great experience with a great driver
We booked a 3 day safari to tarangire, ngorongoro and lake manyara over the internet. Mr. Ndamungu replied my emails very fast and answered all questions. The driver and his boss collected us at your camp in arusha in the morning. After a visit in the supermarket the boss left in arusha and we first went to tarangire. Our driver Abraham was very good in english and so we spoke a lot and he told us very much about the country and the animals. Both nights were in the panorama camp with a great view over lake manyara. The food was good and very much. Second day we went to ngorongoro, a really fascinating place! Afterwards we go back to the camp, where we were allowed to left our bagagge. Last day we spent at lake manyara. In these days we saw almost every animal, we wondered if Abraham could smell the animals over kilometers.
So we enjoyed our stay with mercury tours really very much and i only can recommend this company, it was a really good and cheap safari!

A magnificent safari in the land of wild animals
I traveled together with my wife.
We planned our safari in advance for six months and, like everyone here, a little worried.
I will note the high organization of the safari and the accuracy in time with Mercury Tours.
There were no overlays and everything corresponded to a pre-planned route. And it was even better than planned!
Instead of the planned camps, we lived in the big lodges for the same price and instead of a group tour, we had a private tour for the same money.
Kitchen and eating in Ruaha NP were perfect! The food was almost individual - the cook at the lodge were masters of their craft!
Our lodge was located on the top of a nearby hill. And what an amazing view was from there to the whole park ... - it was just unmatched!
In Ruacha NP and Mikumi NP we saw all the animals that could possibly be seen there.
We were completely delighted with both the organization of the safari and the accompanying guide-driver!
If we ever visit Tanzania again, we will take a safari only from Mercury Tours and Ndamungu.

The best I ever had
I would first like to thank Mr Ndamungu for his professionalism and our guide Samwel , without them this trip would not have had the same and it is thanks to their devotion vouyage it will remain for us as good and wonderful memories. We liked Tanzania as much for its scenery, national parks but also for its people. They are very likeable people. The visit to the Maasai village of Longuido was perfect, far from villages turned into marketing to tourists, the guide Loy Tribe Datoga Hadzabe and was perfect (clear explanations person invests in his work). The different tribes gave us a taste of change of scenery,(Tarangire, Lake Mannyara, Serengheti and Ngorongoro) are wonderful, we had the chance to see a lioness hunting and thanks to our guide , the big five was assured. The lodges were very comfortable, the food very good and excellent. We returned the head filled with beautiful and good memories. Thank you
