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.

We went with Lenard on a 3 day safari and had the absolute best time! He is polite, and accommodating and the campsite with lodges he arranges are extremely hospitable. Good price and overall great experience! Would highly recommend

(We opted for mikumi 3 day safari)

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.

Only the best is good enough.
5/5

This is how I would describe our experience with this amazing company. Mr. Lenard and his team provided excellent service. Communication was easy and clear. After we landed in Dar es Salaam, me and my friend were picked up and we drove to Bastian camp. Double challet was clean and with hot water. Food was always fresh and delicious - we were provided 3 meals per day(pretty enough). You could even get washed your clothes if it’s needed. Our room was repellent every day so we didn’t get any bites from mosquitoes. We had specific program every day-we visited Masai village, big 4 game in Mikumi and hiking to Udzungwa mountains - where we were swimming in the waterfalls.
Our guide Idris was willing to answer all of questions and we are happy we could share this experience with him! He is trustful, friendly and kind person with good intentions.
Hopefully see you soon!

5/5

Since first interaction with mister Lenard, I knew we are choosing his company! Very profesional since the begining. The crew meet us in the airport, explained everything and we were on the road to Mikumi national park. We had 3 nights in Camp Bastion, and that exceeded our expectations. We stayed in private double challet with private bathroom with shower and toilet (hot water). We were provided with breakfast, lunch (during activities) and dinner. Food was tasty and fresh.
Activities were planned only for us, we had a private tour to Masai village on the arrival evening. Second day we went to the game. We spot lion and leopard (which is very rare) and many other animals despite it being a wet season! With experienced guides its not a problem! Third day we hiked to Udzungwa mountains to swim in the waterfalls.
We had amazing guide Idris, who was giving us that extra touch. We are most thankfull for his good mood and spirit everyday!

Friendly, knowledgeable, fun, and charming
5/5

My family and I booked a safari adventure through Camp Bastian, and our driver Sky Uisso picked us up in Dar es Salam and took us to the Camp in Mikumi, and then also shuttled us to Udzyngwa mountains, and back to Dar es Salam. We spent about a week in one another's company. Sky was friendly, humorous, and just all around a lovely person. We started out as strangers and he quickly became a family friend. He is a more than competent driver, and is also knowledgeable, funny, and a truly lovely soul. We would recommend him over and over again.
Thank you so much for all your help, information, and for being a part of our amazing Tanzanian adventure, Sky. We will cherish our memories and our time together, and you will always be in our hearts.
