Well organised
We did a 5 day tour. Selous and Mikumi
We stayed at Ngalawa camp wich was simple but everything was there what we needed. Because of our guide rajabu we saw more animals than we expected.
Mikumi was more open and the animals were easier to see. We have great pictures of a pride of lions.
Massai Village was a great experience too.
Thank you very mu h. We had a wonderfull time in Tanzania

Unforgettable experience with a great tour operator!
I would call it the best experience of my life. We had here a three days trip. In the national park we got to see all the animals we expected such as lions and elephants (even a baby too), we were so lucky!! The staff was very nice, the food was also ok, big portions, never felt hungry. Our guide was helpful and safe driver. The atmosphere in the lodge was wonderful, liked to watch the sunset there while monkeys were just casually playing on the trees. 100%. Would def recommend!!

Excelent organization of the trip
It was very nice and also driver was so friendly and helpful. He was on time everywhere and drove safely. He gave us water during the trip and also stop for lunch. We saw a lot of animals, especially before sunset.
Accomodation in Mikumi Bandas was clean and women who care of it were lovely.
The next time we will take maybe direct flight to Mikumi because the ride was so tiring for us (around 7hours) as the car was not air-conditioned. But we knew about it. We wanted to save money.
It was beautiful and stunning journey. And I recommend this company!

Great Safari with the possibility of seeing the real Tanzania
Ngalawa is a simple camp on the border of the Nyerere National Park. Don't expect a high-class hotel there, but it has everything a tourist needs for a few days.
The bungalows have a bed with bedding, mosquito nets and, most importantly, hot water. A big plus is really very good food prepared by the inhabitants of a nearby village. After a hot Safari in the evening, you can count on a cold Safari Beer straight from the fridge. Ngalawa Camp is often visited by a fairly large herd of baboons. You have to watch out for these monkeys. They are wild and looking for easy food.
The owner named Donatus is a very honest and honorable guy. He tries very hard to keep you happy after your Safari is over. He is not on site, but if something is not in agreement, just call him.
We were on a three-day Safari with a jeep passing from Dar es Salaam. The trip to and from Ngalawa Camp was just as fun as the Safari. Tanzania's red roads are just a fairy tale. Wonderful landscapes. Safari description with a separate story. I will just write that there is an adventure that you will surely remember for the rest of your life.

Amazing experience, great service and awesome wildlife!! Highly recommend.
My partner and I went on a 6 day 5 night Safari trip to Selous and Mikumi reserves. It was an absolutely brilliant experience, one that we will never forget.
Great wildlife, comfortable accommodations, tasty food and a great driver that took us between all the spots.
Highly recommend!

Experience of a lifetime
We've arranged with Donatus, through mail, a 3 days safari at Mikumi, everything was very easy, since the pick up at the airport till the drop at Dar harbour.
We had the luck to get a 5 star guide, Rajabu, who was always there for anything, and apart from that, a very concious driver. (Give this man a raise).
Thank you for the great experience.

A discovery but above all full of memories
We booked the 3-day safari with hotel pick-up (no extra cost) on the first day the boat safari where we discovered the fauna of the Rufiji river with hippos, crocodiles, birds of different species.. . to end with a superb sunset in the African savannah on a sandbank! I advise you to think about having a beer (or other) with you for this moment we forgot each other and we regretted it would have been a plus.
Second day is the day safari in Selous Park we had taken a French-speaking guide (Patrick) (add $30/day) with whom we discussed a lot of things and not just the safari! And our driver (Louis) who without him we would not have been able to see all the animals in the park because he knows the park very well and the places where to find common animals because yes we had the chance to see all the animals wanted! Lions, elephants, hippopotamuses, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, impalas, crocodiles, warthogs etc .. and many birds! An extraordinary moment!
3rd day bush safari (walking safari) with a typical guide and an armed guide because the animals can walk everywhere. There we discover the flora and fauna with explanations how to recognize the traces, how to heal with the trees etc..
an unforgettable stay with friendly people!
The camp is very warm (mattress a bit hard but you get used to it with fatigue) the meals are very enjoyable and the locals are always ready to chat with you if you are doing well in English.
I can only say positive things about this stay, thank you to the whole team and especially to our guides!
See you soon, I hope
