Flexible and accomodating
I was in Morogoro for 5 weeks project and Hello Tanzania set up a solo 3 day safari that fit my schedule. On both days at Mikuni we saw female lions. All the other animals were in abundant display. Abdullah the Driver Gilbert the Mikumi guide, and Freddie the Udzungwa Falls guide were very pleasant and knowledgeable making the tours very enjoyable. A nice break from my work.

Great Safari at Mikumi and Udzungwa!
We had a great time on our tour of Mikumi National Park and Udzungwa!
We booked a three-day safari leaving from Dar Es Salaam. Two days before the safari, Mwajabu, the owner, arranged for us to be picked up by the driver, Athman, who is her brother. It was a nice touch and saved us on the taxi fare to the hotel. She met with us that evening to conduct a pre-safari briefing and to provide the final payment. She explained the itinerary, asked if we needed any special services or changes. There had been some miscommunication and apparently the final payment needed to be in cash so that they could pay for the park fees. Mwajabu and Athman gladly took us to the nearest ATM.
On the morning of the Safari, Athman picked us up and provided us peanuts and juice for breakfast. We drove directly to Mikumi, which was a five hour drive. The roads in Tanzania is quite challenging, but Athman handles it like a pro. After checking in at the park office, we started on our safari with another couple. We were joined by our guide, Gilbert. Athman drove around the park expertly, while Gilbert was hard at work on his phone getting leads from other guides. We started with a view of many impala, warthogs, zebra, wildebeest and zebra. Then, Gilbert got a call with "good news". We drove toward the good news and ran into some elephants on the way. The good news turned out to be two lionesses and their freshly killed wildebeest lunch. We were able to really get up close to to one of the lionesses, which was napping just 5 feet from our land cruiser.
After seeing the lions we headed to a restaurant in the park for lunch. Lunch was some tasty chicken. Outside the restaurant a marabou stork and some monkeys were hanging out. The rest of the day was spent driving around cm viewing many elephants, zebras, and giraffes.
After a long day we headed to Camp Bastian, where we would be staying overnight. At Camp Bastian, we were welcomed with refreshing glasses of avocado mango juice. Camp Bastian is very cute and had about a dozen cabins surrounded by beautiful gardens. The cabins were private and cute with en suite bathrooms. Dinner was served outside by candlelight and started with soup with a main of a delicious curry and rice. Alcohol was available at the bar. During dinner they took out breakfast order (omelet or pancakes) and asked us when we would like it served.
We got up for breakfast around 6:30 the next day. Breakfast was delicious and served with coffee from a French press. We then got on the road to Udzungwa. The road was mostly dirt and rutted, but again, Athman handled it like a pro. We arrived at Udzungwa and we were joined by a guide from the park. The guide was quite knowledgeable about the plants in park. We hiked a couple of hours up into the mountains and the views were spectacular. We had lunch on the top of a waterfall overlooking a beautiful view if the plains below. Lunch was a packed lunch of chicken, veggie sandwiches, banana, boiled egg, and chapati. We hiked down to a pool where people could swim though we elected not to do so ourselves. While we didn't see a lot of animals in the park, we did see a lot of beautiful butterflies and for to see a couple different kinds of monkeys.
On the last day, we went back to Mikumi and saw many giraffes, elephants, zebra impala, crocodiles, buffalo, hippos, and jackals. It was a lot of fun.
We then headed back to Dar Es Salaam. Unfortunately, we got to the city right in the midst of rush hour and it took more than 7 hours to get to our hotel. Athman never lost his cool despite the horrible traffic. Despite dropping us off at the hotel after 10 pm, Athman gladly arrived at 3:30 in the morning to take us to the airport.
We really enjoyed our safari and wholeheartedly would recommend Hello Tanzania to anyone looking for a safari in Tanzania. Thank you Mwajabu, Athman, and Gilbert!

Good value day trip
I booked a day trip to Mikumi national park, where the car departed very early in the morning. It was of good value as it included everything: transport, park fees, lunch, snacks and guide. The driver was good and fun. Overall had a good experience, got to see most of the animals and big five in the park even though lions were hard to spot. The guide didn't speak English very well, so most of the time it was left to our guessing what was going on. One suggestion is that the guide should be more professional and can communicate better.

Excellent tour operator
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.
Once in a lifetime experience
Ms. Sylwia prepared an individual plan for us - from Zanzibar to the Serengeti with overnight stay in the park (an amazing experience worth everything), the Ngorongo crater (very impressive), overnight stay near Karatu, Tarangire (there we met a huge group of 36 elephants and a wonderful family of cheetahs - a female along with four young people). Unforgettable adventure. Everything was planned very carefully. From the moment we left the hotel until we returned, there was always someone with us to tell us what to do next (I'm mainly talking about airports), and the guide Molel, who was with us for the entire 3 days, was great! He was very engaged, and when we said that we really cared about black rhinos, which we know are hard to see, he found three! Moreover, he answered all our questions and it was obvious that he had a lot of knowledge.

Amazing experience!
It was our first safari and we had a wonderful time. From the e-mail exchange several months ago to the organization and handling on D-day, everything was perfect. Communication was fluid and our questions and concerns were handled very well. Luckily, we saw a lot of animals in this reserve, which offers spectacular scenery. Our guide was great, very friendly and very informative. He did everything he could to show us as much as possible.
We had a great time and it was a day to remember.

Strongly recommend
The safari was very well organized. When I had questions, I received answers quickly without delay. The guide was very nice with a vast knowledge. We took a combined safari with a boat trip down the river, which I also recommend, it provides additional experiences that are memorable. The meals were very good. I strongly recommend.
