4/5

Jimmy our tour guide at Swahili Paradise helped us during every step of this great trip to Tanzania. We could depend on his expertise en sound experience throughout all our wishes and needs! The safari was great, all the time to spot all the animals, our Driver Abdul, very experienced, made the safari an absolute dream come true! I would defenitely recommend this organization as all the guides help you with everything: every hour of the day!

Amazing safari experience
4/5

The operator was very good to communicate with, we got answers quickly before the actual trip. Service was also good, I think the overall experience exceeded our expectations. We saw so many animals and some of them from very close. Good driver and a good chef, we will always remember this trip.

amazing experience for a budget shared safari, good value for money
4/5

we booked a shared safari 4 days and 3 nights, we shared with other 4 travellers so we were total of 6 + our driver and chef. the itinerary is fixed but well planned, we did tarangire then serengueti then ngorongoro, we camp and that was an amazing experience. the driver was good and nice and the chef cooked simple tasty food. the car broke down once but the driver managed to get it fixed so we could continue, for a low budget I would say the experience was really good as anyway you get to see the same things! worth to try

Nice tour with well organized agency
4/5

The 3 nights tour was a nice one. It's very well organized and prepared. We have chance to stay at 2 different private reserves and spent one day driving in Kruger. I traveled alone but had no problem being friend with other people in the group. My only comment is that by staying overnight at private reserves we can only get to Kruger by 9-10am when it's already late for seeing animal. It was a warm day and most of them was just hiding or sleeping. We don't have time for evening drive in Kruger as well because we need to head back to the camp. I would prefer to stay inside Kruger for the morning and evening drive instead if I have a chance to come back. There are a lot more animal in Kruger compare to private reserves. But the walk at Olifants river was very nice. The water at Marc Camp can be improved, we had to walk like 200m to take shower/toilet

Fantastic budget conscious experience
4/5

Ok... what a trip! Feel like having some adventure? Off the beaten track? With a bit of spice? Go for it.

Well, we started by getting 10 people crammed in a 8 seat van due to some last minute schedule change. We got left quite clueless at the base camp for the park, where we got picked up by the jeep a couple of hours later. We got informed about that schedule change, where instead of doing Serengetti and Ngorongoro, we would work it backwards because of the extra people that joined for a one-day trip.
You are starting to feel a bit weird by this time, wondering if it does make sense paying double...

It doesn't.
Our driver and cook were fantastic. Special kudos to our cook who produced gourmet stuff, considering the facilities and everything.
Game-spotting-wise, we got almost everything (ok, the rhinos were really far in the distance). Our tents were nice and solid, even when faced with a little rain.
Camping on Ngorongoro is an experience not to be missed.

The hyenas outside the tents at night in Serengetti and the jeep radiator failure only served to spice things up enough to get some adrenaline coursing through the veins, at it should.

The only things I guess justify paying more is sleeping quarters, if you are not at all comfortable with camping, and a more lavish lunchbox for the midday break. Not at all reasons enough for me, but people differ.

Definitely recommended!

Good guide/driver who made the most of uncontrollable circumstances
4/5

We did a 3 day/2night shared safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was amazingly easy to set up this safari. Our contact person was accommodating even when we had to switch days. We were picked up at a reasonable time from our hostel. It was a shared safari so we had to pick other people up. The car was somewhat cramped but still comfortable. The drives once in the parks were amazing. Our driver spotted many animals, even a leopard sleeping in a faraway tree. In the end, we managed to see all of the big 5. The food was delicious,but the cook was slow to prepare the dinner meals. It rained during our first night in Serengeti and our guide adjusted our schedule accordingly. The biggest hiccup came when the car had to be filled up with gas. The petrol station in the Serengeti didn't have any so we had to wait for trucks to come from Arusha. We continued our game drive during this wait, but in the end, we arrived at our campsite in Ngorongoro well past dark. I don't know what could have been done differently. Overall it was a good experience.

Good experiences at reasonable cost
4/5

The reason why I chosed Swahili Paradise Touwrs & Safaris was its tour cost which was reasonable compared with that of other tour companys. Of course I didn't feel the quality of the tour was behind that of other tour companys. So that I was satisfied with the servfice of Swahili Paradise Touwrs & Safaris .
