Excellent tour operator
5/5

we had an amazing 14 day trip totally custom with Hello Tanzania. The operator took the time to answer our thousand questions ! The staff everywhere we went was very friendly and made everything very easy for us. We did not have to think about anything during our stay, everything was taken care of. The best part of our vacation was our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and culture. He transfered to us his passion. Overall had a great experience and would recommend them to all my family and friends.

We had a very good experience in our honeymoon visiting the selous park.
5/5

Hello Tanzania helped us to set up our honeymoon. They offered a very good adventure in the Selous park. The Guide and the people who served us were very kind and friendly. The food was really great. It was a very good experience in Africa. Thanks to Hello Tanzania that provide us everything that was necessary to have a great time on the road and in the savana, with amazing and real animals.
If you are looking for a different honeymoon, you already know, contact hello tanzania. They will look for what you need. You will have the possibility to do a little of everything: culture, safari, beach, gastronomy, and so on.

Helpful and good hospitality
4/5

We did a two-day safari with Hello Tanzania/Kamar Safaris in January 2023. The booking process was very convenient, and we appreciated the opportunity to get domestic flights in the package back and forth from Zanzibar. When we booked the trip, there was an initenary on the safari days, but not info on how much time it took back and forth between the airport and national parks, or from the national park to our safari accommodation. These would have been good to state in the travel initenary to know how much time travel takes. Our driver was really friendly and told us a lot about the animals, as well as made sure to make the most out of our days on the safari. When I think about the experience afterwards, a three - day safari would have been a better option, as it felt like we were in a hurry from time to time. I recommend considering a longer safari altough it is more pricey. I would also consider to book a tour where the safari camp is somewhere close to the national park or even within it, and drive around in the same park for a couple of days. We experienced some really magical moments during our two days, nevertheless. Our flight back to Zanzibar on the second day could have been a bit later, as it felt like we were in a rush getting back from Ngorongoro crater. All in all, we did really enjoy the spectacular views in the national parks of Tarangine and Ngorongoro.

One day safari in Selous
4/5


Our first safari was cancelled because there was technical problems with the airplane, but they quickly proposed us other dates and we were able to go. Service was great, only minus was, that in the airport we didn't get much info where to go and which was our plane etc. Our guide Anton was amazing! We saw lots of animals. Lunch in the bush was really good also.

Great experience.
4/5

Me and my boyfriend booked via Hello Tanzania a 3 days Safari in Selous in the second half of June. It was the first time we went to Africa and we were both very happy with this experience. We stayed at Jimbiza Selous camp and did a boat Safari, a classical game drive in the park and a morning walking Safari. The camp was very basic and you have to be an adaptable person to fully enjoy your stay - for the instagrammers, there is no wifi, which I personally found a nice detox. The staff was available and the food was very good. We never had any issue. Just one suggestion, bring a mosquito net ;)
Sylvia was always responsive and overall we were very happy with this trip, definitely a good value for money, especially after having seen how expensive safaris usually are!

A well-organised, exciting and nature-filled experience
4/5

We booked a 5-night trip with Hello Tanzania, travelling in February 2019, and it was a fantastic experience that we would thoroughly recommend.

We were met on time at Dar es Salaam airport and the same guide accompanied us from there until the end of our trip. We went to Selous where we saw lions, leopard, elephants, wild dogs and a whole host of other beautiful animals amidst stunning scenery. We also had a memorable day in Udzungwa, hiking and swimming in the waterfall. We were just the two of us throughout the whole trip and the guide was flexible to our timings and requests. The days planned were intense and we are glad we stayed behind in Selous for an extra day to enjoy Jimbiza camp for an extra night, rather than move on quickly after just one day. Hello Tanzania were flexible to this request during the planning stages, which deviated from their original proposal.

The Hello Tanzania guide was extremely experienced and clearly very passionate about the wildlife. His calm nature, expertise and passion contributed heavily to the success of our trip. His incredibly keen eye even managed to spot a 20cm-long chameleon as we traveled at speeds greater than 30km/hour en-route to the accommodation. The leopard, the vulture feeding frenzy, and the fish eagles were personal highlights spotted by our guide.

In the pre-travel correspondence, Hello Tanzania were flexible to our many requests, they were incredibly helpful, friendly and easy to converse with over e-mail. Paying large sums of money to a small company in advance of travel can be nerve-wracking, especially when Hello Tanzania weren't always quick to respond (it took them 5 days to confirm they had received our money, for example). The nature of e-mails received from Hello Tanzania leading up to our trip was informal, with notably broken English and grammatical errors. Do not let this dissuade you from what was a well-organised, experienced service delivery on the ground in Tanzania. Whilst a quick online translator/ spell-checker would increase the professionalism of the e-mail correspondence in staff members’ second language, we are glad that we chose Hello Tanzania and trusted them with our deposit and upfront payment.

In short, Hello Tanzania delivered a well-organised and action-packed trip for us. The main contact was incredibly easy to work and plan with in the build up to our departure. We will remember our holiday for many years and are glad that we went with Hello Tanzania.

Wonderful experience
4/5

We did a one-day safari trip to Mikumi national park. It was an amazing experience to see all the animals in their natrual enviroment. We got our own jeep and our own guide, who were very good at spot all the animals and told us a lot of information regarding the animals. The driver from Dar es saalam to the park was at approximately 6 hours, so it was long but it was worth it. The information regarding the payment and the pick up from our hotel could have been a little bit more clear.
