A dreamlike safari with a great guide
The decision to book the safari through Watu was not easy. There are simply unbelievably many providers and typically German you are afraid of falling on your nose and getting cheated. After some mail contact we (4 persons) decided to trust the provider and book a 10 day safari. This was the absolute best decision. The safari was simply terrific, we saw a lot of animals and got a great insight into the culture of Tanzania. Our guide had years of experience and could estimate exactly how far you can get to the animals without any problems and when it gets dangerous. During the whole safari we always felt absolutely safe. During the safari we decided to go on a night safari. The booking was no problem and went without any problems via Whatsapp with Majenda. I can only recommend the night safari to everyone, it is a completely different feeling to get so close to the animals in the dark. For me the safari was a highlight, I often look at the pictures and get incredible wanderlust. Another tip, 10 days safari is not enough, the parks are too far away from each other. Due to a car breakdown we even lost a whole day. Take more time. My next safari will be about 16-17 days.

Fantastic safari operator
We did a 3-day Selous safari and had an amazing time. Our driver-guide, Hamad, was very knowledgeable and engaging. In addition to a day of game drives in a beautiful reserve that isn't overrun by tourists in which we were incredibly lucky to see a pack of endangered African wild dogs up close, there was a boat safari on the Rufiji River and a bush walk just outside Selous. Both were fun and interesting, as was the 5-6 hour drive to Selous, which offers the ability to pass many villages and get a glimpse of "real Tanzania".
The lodge where we stayed was very nice and the staff friendly.
Communication with Majenda of Watu Safaris was fantastic. He is incredibly responsive and professional and delivered a safari that I felt was a great value. Visitors to Tanzania should absolutely not overlook the hidden gem that is the Southern Circuit and when you go, I highly recommend choosing Watu Safaris.

Excellent and customer oriented tour operators
I wrote to Majenda and he replied to every query I had! He booked hotels and the car and the driver was always on time! No hassles! They went beyond their work hours to help my family and made sure we were safe at all times and most important we enjoying ourselves!
The prices are affordable and he cares about the services his company offered than earning extra bucks for ripping off customers!
Both drivers we had to Mikumi and Udzungwa were professional and helpsome!
Highly recommend this tour operator, and would definitely use them again in future !

Excellent safari, great experience
I booked a 2-day safari with Watu Safaris to Mikumi National Park. I am happy I chose them and my guide Rajabu was very helpful and made this short safari a great and unforgettable experience. Saw lots of animals giraffes, zebras, elephants, bulls, etc. No lions came our way but that was fine. Amazing mountain landscapes on the way, very nice national park Thank you Rajabu and Majenda!

Best experience of our lives
For university we fly to Tanzania to volunteer at a school. Due to school not returning until the 8th we contacted Wutu safari who assisted us to plan our trip until we got to the school. We had a 2 day safari, hotel for 2 nights and food as well as travel. As our first time in the country we were apprehensive but Majenda and Amani made sure we were well looked after. It is a definite trip to make, we learnt so much and started Tanzania on a high!
