A dream Safari Afdventure with the best guides ever!
5/5

We had a wonderful time with Going Green Safari, Lenny the MD is a true chilled out legend and the perfect person to have by your side. Responsive and informative before we left, always quick to reply and flexible with the plan, although he really does know how to make the most of your 3 days at Mikumi so we are glad we took his advice on everything.

We saw so many animals on the first day, on the drive through the park to the hotel, and Lenny spotted many more in the wild that we would have missed, and stopped to let us photograph and enjoy the experience. Elephants, Giraffe, Antelope, Baboons, Zebra and all before we even got to our destination. Our evening with the Masai arranged by Lenny was superb. The singing and dancing and learning how they live in the remote village. Unmissable!

The hotel Babylon was basic but lovely and everyone was so friendly and accomodating, a perfect spot to sleep after long days in the sun. Meals in Camp Bastian were delicious and plentiful, and self service so you can take what you like from the big selection. Be as adventurous as you like - it was all well cooked and lovely.

The main reason for the trip was the full game day on Safari in Mikumi NP, and our driver Selle and guide Jeffeson could not have been better. Knowledable, friendly and went out of their way to make our day amazing. Way beyond expectations. We saw almost everything that could be seen - only the nocturnal and elusive leapord evaded us. Lions - in two groups - so close (almost too close but we felt safe at all times), Elephants throughout the day at the watering hole, and the guide knew how to catch them as they crossed the road for us. Buffalo, Warthogs (a favourite), many types of antelope and impala, Zebra, Wildebeast, Hippo, Crocodiles, and two huge python, so many birds that Jeffeson had details for them all in his book and his amazing mind! We saw a really rare African Owl, eagles, Vultures, so many songbirds, starlings, shrike and lapwings with amazing plummage. I could write an entire book on this day alone and I have the photos to illustrate it and an encylopedia too. Bring a good camera!

Do not hesitate - book your own adventure with Lenny and Going Green Safari today! You will not be disappointed. The value and price is amazing without comprimising on quality or taking any shortcuts.

Unforgettable experience!
5/5

We booked the safari directly with Going Green Safari Tours. From the beginning, communications were perfect and we received all the information we needed in advance (itinerary for every day with specific description of every day's activities, name and contact of our guide).

To our surprise, we did not have any delays whatsoever during the safari, which is, in my opinion, remarkable. The itinerary was carefully planned so we could make it in time to every activity (which is not always the case according to many reviews of other companies - we always read the reviews of several companies before doing any reservations).

The driver was awesome. He truly loves his work and cares deeply for Tansania's animals. He always took care of giving us the best experience, not to mention his knowledge of the game reserves we visited.

This is how you measure quality.

Deeply grateful!

Perfect in a special way
5/5

We have been in Dar in May. Although it was the end of the rainy season and therefore not the best time to go on safari we didn't wanna leave without seeing any animals.
We had booked the three days Selous safari tour. Lenard picked us up at our hotel in Kigamboni right in time. We bought some veggies, fruits and water on markets along the way (what was an experience by itself), had a lunchbreak with a delicious meal in Kibiti. The landscape is so beautiful, Lenard is such a good driver and entertainer, time passed so fast and the six hours tour was never boring.
At arrival in the Ngalawa Tented Camp we had a two hours boat safari on the Rufiji river. Something so very amazing...the silence, the birds, the crocodils, the hippos, the sundown...it is hard to put it in words.
We had a full day safari in Selous the next day. Lenard knows the reserve very good, he knows so much about animals and we saw a lot of them. No cats, but almost every other...even a hyena in the end. Lenard brought us so very close to them, he was so patiently and never got tired to drive, to explain and wait for us making photos.
On the last morning we had a walking safari. It was really exciting to walk in the bush always aware that the animals are close. A real nature experience.
We had full board at the Ngalwa Tented Camp. Food was always very delicous and the camp is a woderful little place somewhere out in the wilderness where we heard the bush babies cry at night.
The whole tour was thouroughtly good organized and perfect in a special way mostly cause of Lenard...we hope to do safari with him again and highly recommend him and his company.

Great Tanzanian expirience
5/5

After four days of expedition I have to say. It was such an amazing experience for me. We met Lenny right in the arrivals hall after we left the airplane.
We got many new information about animals that live in Africa and about live in Tanzania from him and after from his colleague Apollo. Apollo was like our friend during the whole journey. Now I think I know everything what I wanted. After the finish he guide us toward the Dar es Sallams harbor.
Tanzania needs more people like they.
If we are going to travel to Tanzania again, I want another safari just with them.

Amazing tour to see the essential beauties of Mikumi
5/5

We spent 4 days with our guide Apollo as a couple in Mikumi National Park. Apollo was extremely knowledgable about... everything. Wildlife, daily life in Tanzania and beyond. It was an amazing experience and we got to see a wide array of wild animals in Mikumi. Baboons, impalas, zebras, gnus, hippos, lions and we even had a direct encounter and road cross with a lovely giraffe and a family of elephants! The hike in Nudzungwa mountains revealed one of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen.
The (somewhat challenging) hike made the view from top of the Nudzungwa waterfalls even more rewarding.
Starting from the warm welcome and punctual pick up to the goodbye and drop off everything worked out smoothly. The accomodation in Camp Bastian is extremely luxurious for the local standards and everyone tries to make you feel very valued. The ventilation, food and comodities were splendid.

All in all, I can only fully recommend this experience. While everyone might experience it differently I am sure that everyone shares the joy in it. Asante Apollo!

Unforgettable 4-Day Safari Experience with Going Green Safari Tours
5/5

We just returned from a 4-day safari tour with Going Green Safari Tours, exploring the stunning wildlife and landscapes of Mikumi National Park, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From start to finish, everything was incredibly well-organized and thoughtfully arranged. The company was very flexible with our pick-up and drop-off locations, which made planning so much easier for us.

Our guide, Apollo, was truly exceptional. He was not only extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, nature, and Tanzanian culture, but also incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout the entire trip. We felt completely comfortable asking him anything, and he took the time to explain everything in great detail. Thanks to him, we learned so much about the animals we saw, the landscapes we passed through, and the people we met along the way.

We travelled in a very comfortable vehicle, perfectly suited for both long drives and safari game drives. Apollo always took his time during the safaris, never rushing us and always making sure we had the best possible view and understanding of the wildlife around us.

One of the highlights of the tour was the hike to the Sanje Waterfalls in the Udzungwa Mountains, which was very well organized and a wonderful change of pace during the trip. We also had the chance to visit a Masai village, which was an incredibly special and eye-opening experience.

Accommodation during our safari was at Camp Bastian Mikumi, which was fantastic. The staff were welcoming, the rooms were comfortable, and the atmosphere was perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure. Each day, breakfast and dinner were ready for us, and we received a well-prepared lunch pack to take with us on the road.

Overall, Going Green Safari Tours went above and beyond to make sure our safari experience was perfect. Their team is highly flexible, responsive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. We wholeheartedly recommend them—and especially Apollo—to anyone looking for a meaningful, informative, and unforgettable safari. We will definitely recommend this to all our family and friends!

It exceeded all our expectations.
5/5

We went on our honeymoon with my wife to go on a Safari in Mikumi and everything was perfect from the time they picked us up at the hotel until they took us back. Lenny's kindness was incredible and the stay at Camp Bastian luxury. We were greeted with a message in the room that said "welcome honey mooners" and it was very exciting. And most importantly, the safari seemed like a dream. The guide we had made us see four of the "big five". We have seen zebras, giraffes, antelopes, wallabies, lions, elephants, buffaloes, hippos, wild boars, leopards, crocodiles, etc. I really recommend this safari for all those who want to live a luxury experience in Tanzania. I hope we can come back soon!

Kind and professional
5/5

I had a good experience at Mikumi National Park, even though it was a rainy day.
My driver was kind and paid attention to my needs.
My tour guide at Mikumi was knowledgeable. He told me a lot about the animals, so I learned a lot.
As for the hotel I stayed at, there was only one issue: the Wi-Fi was weak throughout the entire hotel. I couldn't use Wi-Fi in my room. Everything else was great—comfortable bed, nice meals, and a great shower.
