Above and beyond expectations!
5/5

Mwajabu was so helpful in planning this surprise safari trip for my husband during our honeymoon! She is absolutely the BEST! She is so sweet, well organized and goes out of her way to make sure your experience is unforgettable. True five star service.
We were staying in Zanzibar for our honeymoon, and Abdul picked us up from our hotel and took us to the airport. The night before I realized I forgot to pack the SD card for my GoPro camera. Knowing that it was Ramadan, and the only shops that sell these kinds of tourist goods would be closed I was sure we were out of luck. In hopes of a miracle, I messaged Mwajabu who had Abdul running around Stonetown to find a particular SD card after sundown when everything was closed. Abdul somehow found someone to open their shop to sell him an SD card for our trip the next morning. Above and beyond!!!
After taking a small plane from Zanzibar to Dar Es Salaam then to Selous, we arrived at Lake Manze camp. We went on 3 game drives in our short 36 hour trip to Selous. Our guide Kalisti and driver Mgoma were so knowledgeable and showed us tons of animals including African elephants, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, buffalo, zebras, hyenas, as well as several species of birds and so many other amazing animals I couldn't list in this short review. The food at Lake Manze was also incredible. The staff was great, the tents were not just tents, they had a shower, vanity with sink and flushing toilet. True glamping!
In all, the experience was one that we will never forget, and hope to return with the help of Mwajabu and her staff again in the future.

I felt like part of their family.
5/5

Mwajabu runs a company built on constant communication, care, and incredible experiences. Even before I arrived in Tanzania Mwajabu would check in on me every once in a while to confirm my trip and continually make sure I was going to get the experience I wanted. She was able to cater my week long trip to exactly my needs, even being a solo traveler which is extremely difficult to find a company who will host you. Once I arrived the cafe was kicked up even more, I was picked up from the airport by her brother Athman, who was my driver throughout my time in continental Tanzania. I was taken to my hotel the first night as my safari started the following morning. Then at 4 am Athman picked me up and we began our journey to Mikumi National Park. Athman ended up being less of a driver and ultimately a friend I could joke with and laugh with, even given his limited English. At Mikumi, I was introduced to my guide Gilbert, who was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and the area. Again, we interacted more as friends than someone who was being paid to show me around. Before my time in Africa, I got extremely sick in Greece and brought that bug with me o my Safari, during the second day it got extremely bad and I was unable to go on our planned hike to Udzwunga. I messaged Mwajabu and let her know of my issue in which she immediately began to try and help me get better. In about 5 minutes Athman and Gilbert were at my camp ready to take me to the pharmacy to get the mess I needed. Gilbert helped me with translation at the pharmacy and even in rural Africa I was able to get what I needed. I felt like part of their family and really truly cared for. In no time I was feeling better and we went on the incredible hike in Udzwunga where I saw amazing foliage and wildlife while completing an impressive hike to the top of a waterfall. The damp I stayed at, Bastian, was amazing. Every meal was catered around my schedule and time and when I was sick I constantly was being checked on by staff.
After my time in Mikumi, Athman drove me back to Dar airport where I boarded an incredible 20 min flight to Zanzibar. Again, Mwajabu had a driver lined up for me, Abdul, who got me to my beach resort very quickly. The resort was beautiful and I was given the opportunity from Mwajabu to go on both the Stone Town Tour and the spice tour. When it was time for me to go 7 days after my arrival, I was sad to go as I had been taken care of so perfectly. Mwajabu even had arrangements for me to connect from the domestic terminal to the international terminal in DAR. I would tecxomoned Mwajabu and Hello Tanzania 10 out of 10 times, it was beyond was I expected and I got way more than my money's worth. Thank You Mwajabu, Athman, Gilbert, and Abdul for and amazing expertise. Hopefully I will be back soon!!!

Lovely trip to Mikuni and Udzungwa
4/5

Mwajbu was wonderful to deal with. Provided great support and even organised flights to Zanzibar. The process of booking and logistics was very easy. Really enjoyed Mikuni National Park and Camp Bastian. Opted for a one hike in Udzungwa Mountains and it was just spectacular. Our driver was very helpful and the guide in Udzungwa was fantastic.

Fun and experience never-before
5/5

I traveled through Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti in 4 days. Very excited to be within 20 meters of not-so-easy-to-find cheetah after driver-guide's one hour effort.

all in all nice experience from pick up to drop off .. :-)
5/5

We booked our 2-day safari trip to Mikumi NP app. 2 months before our trip to Tanzania, from the beginning we had a nice talk with Ms. Mwajabu, the manager of Hello Tanzania, who is a really nice & caring lady. I had a lot of questions before the safari, the answers were fast and fulfilling. The pick up time was early in the morning around 4am, cause our flight arrived that early, Mwajabu and our driver were already at the airport waiting for us. After 5 hours driving we were in the park, changed the car to open roof and went for the game drive. We saw a lot of animals, it was a great experience to be so close to the wild animals, we were happy. In the evening we went to our acommodation, Tan Swiss Lodge with a pool, it was nice spacious room, with aircondition, TV, mosquito net etc. Another day we started with a tasty breakfast, after that we had another game drive in the park. Later we went back to DAR, but unfortunatelly we missed our flight to Zanzibar due to huge traffic jam in DAR. But during getting stucked in that jam I wrote Ms. Mwajabu, she immediately acted, she pre-booked our flight with the airline for next day, she offered us 1 night in the hotel near the airport and also dinner, and all that FOR FREE. It was very generous and we didnt expect such kindness within this for us unpleasant situation. So I would really like to thank a lot Ms. Mwajabu for such a nice taking care of us. The last day before our flight back to Europe we had a half day more, we used their services again for taking us to the city center, the driver was waiting for us all the time, with our luggage in the car and after we finished he took us back to the airport. Great Service. I recommend Hello Tanzania to everyone. Asante sana Mwajabu & Athman & staff of Hello Tanzania!

Matched our expectations
4/5

We did a short albeit eventfull safari in January and I have only good things to say about it and how it was organized. I came to realize the importance of the drivers quality and how that affects the whole experience, in our case his name was Osmam, a well educated and genuine person that had much to show us. Even though it was the first time we did safari I have traveled much in the past and have worked in some of the most prestigious hotels in the world, I feel that it was, again, excellent value for the dollar. The Ngorogoro crater is a must with a Jurassic Park feeling to it. Luxury Herritage camp is an excellent choice with good standard considering how far it is from civilization,, comtact me if you need specifics: mathiasvarga@hotmail.com

Amazing
5/5

We were 6 guys from Sweden traveling to Tanzania and Zanzibar and booked our safari with Hello Tanzania. Everything was working flawlessly and Missis Mwajabu contacted us even after our Safari had ended to make sure the rest of our trip was turning out good. The safari trip was better than our expectations and we saw all the big five in just two and a half days safari. We got close to the lions, rhinos elephants, giraffes and cheetahs. The driver was very skillful at spotting the animals and did not waste any time to find new kinds of animals we hadn't seen. We stayed inside the Serengeti park at the Luxury Heritage Camp and I highly recommend to it to anyone. To stay inside the park listening to the sounds of animals close by is a experience in itself that leads to another level of excitement. I highly recommend using Hello Tanzania as a Safari agency since it has good prices and a extraordinary service compared to other companies. We spent a lot of hours researching and there is a good chance you get ripped off paying more for the same or less good experience.
