Great guide in-depth knowledge of animals
We spent a weekend (four people, Friday to Sunday) in Mikumi National Park, and everything related to the wildlife and overall park experience was fantastic. Our guide, Louis, was truly passionate about his work. He never rushed through the park or pressured us to move on quickly. We could sit quietly in one spot for up to 45 minutes, watching impalas, marabou storks, zebras, and gnus with the engine turned off, while Louis explained their mating and foraging behaviors in fascinating detail.
He showed us lions, elephants, bulls, and giraffes—all at the same relaxed pace, sharing a wealth of knowledge at every turn. It was also amazing to learn about the savanna’s plant life: trees that produce alcoholic fruit, trees with slick bark, towering baobabs, and much more.
Louis always found the perfect spots to observe wildlife without disturbing the animals or making us feel unsafe. He answered all our questions confidently, and when he didn’t know something, he openly admitted it—something we greatly appreciated. His humility and dedication stood out and made the experience truly special.
What I liked less—though it was still acceptable—was the communication with the manager of the local safari company. We were picked up at the Morogoro train station and sent off with someone we had never met, to a camp we hadn’t been told about in advance. The camp was quite basic: the air in the lodges was musty, and the food was average. This part of the service could definitely be improved.
That said, if you ask me whether I’d recommend Zapisa African Safaris—absolutely. They have fantastic guides who are knowledgeable, respectful, and genuinely love what they do.
