Pushing for customer satisfaction
Leonard was able to tailor us a 2-day safari with transportation from Dar and back. He even helped us get our delayed luggage which was superb service from him.
Camp Bastion was a nice and safe place to stay. Eventhough there wasn't AC in the room, we slept well because there was a fan in the roof, the temp in general is cooler than in Dar and of course nights are cooler. Room and washroom was very clean and sheets were changed daily. Wi-Fi is available only in the restaurant area and speed is enough for messaging. I wasn't able to send any videos, but that's not a big deal.
We had our first Lion contact already before the actual Safari. Just 10min after crossing into the Mikumi NP area we saw 8 lions on the side of the road and stopped to take some photos. In the Safari we saw everything we wished for except a Leopard. That's a reason to come back!
Our other option was to fly for the Safari from Zanzibar but I'm glad we didn't because we weren't in a rush at any point. If we wanted, we could watch e.g. baby elephants play around and on the second day we stayed until sunset.
If you are wondering what camera gear to bring, I had two DSLR bodies, one with 300mm f4 prime with FX-body and other with 85mm f1.8 prime on a DX-body. Maybe a 24-70mm would have been more useful, but I shot 90% of the photos with 300mm anyway. My wife used 70-300mm which also worked nicely. With longer reach heat might become an issue.

10/10
I went with 30 friends and we had the best time. Lenny took care of everything and we could just ride along. Transport, hotel, food, safari and tour of Massaj village. He was also very flexible and nice to have along for the weekend. Would absolutely book with him again!
Makes sure everyone is looked after and cares about our interests
Great price, wonderful experience and overall greatly organized

Reliable and friendly operator
The 3-day safari was well organized and accompanied by Mosha. He was very friendly punctual and responsible. We felt secured all the time and all activities were done as per itinerary with very professional guides. Additionally, he helped us with other things like withdrawing money, booking the ferry to Zanzibar, etc. Highly recommended!!

Very nice experience
It was our first Safari and the experience couldn't be better. Everything worked perfectly since the first contact. Any question or doubt was answered quickly. We saw a lot of animals, even two females lions. Camp Bastian, the place where we slept was very nice. Very worthy for the price. Don't hesitate.

One-day safari recommended 100% if you're traveling to Tanzania. A must.
My experience was very good when hiring this 1-day safari. From the first moment to the last, I was impressed by the efficiency in organizing the entire safari. They picked us up on a Monday at 4 in the morning, we traveled for 5 hours in a comfortable 4x4 jeep, and we did the safari from 10:00 to around 5:00, stopping for about 1 hour to have lunch at the buffet restaurant in the natural park itself. Afterward, we stayed at Camp Bastian, had time to relax in the pool, have dinner, and share anecdotes with other Spaniards we met at the accommodation.
The transfer was punctual and without setbacks, which contributed to starting the experience on the right foot. During the safari, the guide's attention and knowledge of the area and the animals were top-notch. I could appreciate the beauty of the fauna and flora in their natural habitat in a unique way, seeing 3 of the Big Five animals of Africa (African elephant, Cape buffalo, and lion), in addition to antelopes, zebras, giraffes, hippos, and crocodiles, among other animals.
The accommodation exceeded my expectations. The facilities were comfortable and welcoming, and the rooms were spacious, providing the necessary rest after an exciting day in nature. No one would expect a huge room, with more than enough space and fans in the middle of the savannah. Of all the accommodations in Tanzania, this was one of the best. In addition, the meals were delicious, buffet-style and varied, offering a gastronomic experience that perfectly complemented the adventure.
What impressed me the most was the excellent value for money offered by "Going Green Safari Tours" on this safari. I felt that every euro spent was worth it for the quality of the experience received. I recommend this safari 100%. It was an unforgettable experience that I would definitely repeat in the future. Totally recommended for those looking for a unique and well-organized experience in nature!
If you're traveling to Tanzania and don't have time for a multi-day safari, spending thousands of euros on a safari, this is definitely your safari.
Thank you very much, Iddris and Alphonse, for making this experience unforgettable. Asante sana marafiki (thank you very much, friends).

The Experience
Let's get to the facts!
Want an experience? You have hot it.
Leonard is the person that organized everything, at the end we have to thanks for the fact it was a little Sick but did not cancel nothing, we make and delivery.
The driving from DAR to Mikumi is far, and the driving is not the same the European know, for me was ok, maybe for same People scared a little, but for me is a part of the experience.
The car is comfortable, have much room, have pillows, is clean, it's good for this long distance.
The driver and the Safari, well at this point we meet the driver Ladislaus, and what a person! Calm, intelligent, and hard working, he make everything to give you a nice experience, and for my opinion this guy as perfect, impossible to do better.
Dinner at the hotel, sleep and breakfast, this is another part of the experience, the food is very good and the room was nice inside a nice "nature resort" the room is a small house no windows but protected for the bugs, i put a carpet at the door because is have a space form the floor to make it more secure.
You'll listening everything, the sound of the wild, the night animals there.
But again you are slipping in a safari you want wild? This is the best wild / comfortable combo they can get.
5 Star because it was a nice overall.

A reliable safari tour
We finished our 3-days Mikumi park safari tour. Everything was in time with big care of us. Safari guides were wonderfull, they took us from the Dar es Salaam airport at 4 a.m. Iddris did the best our trip to be perfect. Alfonce is so friendly and calm person. He solved the problem with traffic on the way back to the airport. He made a quick decision which saved us from the missing a domestic flight. He took a tuk-tuk to drive us to the airport because we couldn’t reach it on time due to flooded roads. Big big hugs for him. The experience of life won. I recommend this tour company for reliable service, quick responce to my questions before the tour, assistance in every step during safari tour, efforts to make safari trip unforgettable.
