Operator excellent 5 star but guide in our case poor 1 star
We booked a luxury Safari in Tanzania, and Nyemo was dry helpful and efficient in planning and organizing our trip. Very carefully planned our itinerary to visit a set of luxury lodges and it was a good value. The camps and lodges beautiful and the wildlife experience great!
Disappointed though in the guide and the vehicle which was in poor condition. The biggest concern was that the seatbelts were broken, and not usable. This made us very uncomfortable being that we were traveling in remote areas far from medical care and safety and prevention of injury so important. The vehicle also had electrical problems from the day we were picked up necessitating midway through the trip a stop at a garage for half a day and lost safari time.
The driver also was unfamiliar with any of the camps we had chosen, and in every instance was lost trying to find the next camp delaying our arrival by as much as one or two hours each time we changed camps. We chose luxury camps so we could also enjoy the camp ambience at end of day, but the delayed arrival left us feeling rushed.
I believe this experience must be an exception since in all the other reviews, the guides are outstanding. Also I would have thought there would’ve been some follow up from the company at the completion of our tour, but we were never contacted.

Posted on Mar 9, 2026Dear Jon
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about your safari with Zepisa African Safaris. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful lodges and camps, and that the wildlife experience met your expectations. It was also a pleasure assisting you in planning your itinerary, and we truly appreciate your kind words about the organization of your trip.
At the same time, we sincerely regret that some aspects of your experience did not meet the high standards we aim to provide. Guest comfort and safety are extremely important to us. Regarding the safari vehicle, we would like to clarify that our vehicles follow the standard safari specifications used by most tour operators in Tanzania. These are specially designed 4x4 safari vehicles suitable for the rough terrain of national parks. While they may not always be brand-new vehicles, they meet the same professional safari standards used across the industry. All of our vehicles are regularly checked to ensure they are safe and reliable for wildlife safaris.
We also apologize for the inconvenience caused by the unexpected technical stop and any delays during transfers between camps. Safari areas are remote and sometimes challenging to navigate, but we understand how important it is to arrive on time to fully enjoy the camp experience.
Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we will use it to continue improving our service. Our goal is always to ensure every guest enjoys a safe, well-organized, and truly unforgettable safari with Zepisa African Safaris.
