Hakuna Matata - fantastic tour with our family
From the moment we meet Matata until the final farewell at the ferry in Dar es Salaam, our family (kids 7 & 10) enjoyed the safari trip. Matata is one of the most friendly and respectful persons I've met in my life and it was a pleasure to learn from him about the beautiful country Tanzania. Driving the most terrible roads, searching for lions until the very last minute and being fully in control whatever happens, these skills are highly appreciated during a family trip. As it was just Mikumi, Udzungwa and Nyerere/Selous, we already look forward to the day we meet again for a safari trip.

Great guide, great tour
I saw 4 of the so called Big 5 within the first hour after entering Mikumi National Park. The Bastian Lodge was really nice as well with great food options. On the way back we stopped at several places to eat fruits or BBQ from the Massai, which was excellent a well.

Nzuri sana Safari!
Matata is fun, kind and VERY knowledgeable about the fauna (especially around birds!), as well as a great driver!
We vowed with my partner never to go back to a zoo after seeing natural wildlife up close. Matata knew every centimetre of the Morogoro and Mikumi, knew all about the animals' schedules and behaviours so discovering these wonderful beings was also accompanied with lots of information about them, which made the whole trip incredibly interesting. The reserves we visited, the hotels we stayed in, the food we ate, the people we met, made the experience even more special.
We kept a piece of Tanzania in our hearts, and thanks to Matata we want to go back and explore more of this wonderful country with him.
Maisha marefu rafiki!

4 outstanding days in a wonderful park with a great guide.
The service was always great (Always good food, enough to drink, big knowledge about the animals inside the park). We saw (for europeans) many unorthodox animals, as our guide understood it to find them (especially the lions by footprints). The safari tour with the open roof car was just an unforgettable experience and i would totally recommend it.

Our unforgettable safari in Tanzania with Matata!
We would like to share our unforgettable memories, feelings and emotions from the safari we had the chance to make with Matata (from the company « Safari Moja Matata » www.safarimojamatata.com) in Tanzania in the end of December 2016 – beginning of January 2017.
After landing in the capital city Dar Es Salaam, we drove to Selous Game Reserve (a huge private faunal reserve) with Matata and his incredible car (a 4WD Toyota Safari Land Cruisers/land rovers 4×4 with a capacity of 6 to 8 seaters and open roof). There we stayed in the picturesque Hippo Camp, idealy located nearby the Rufiji River. We visited the enormous and impressive Selous Game Reserve, and had the chance to see from very close so many wild and beautiful animals like, among others, lions, elephants, buffalos, hippos, giraffes, zebras, impalas, crocodiles, monkeys, hienas, wild dogs, wiledebeests, antilopes, warthogs, and so many different birds of all kinds. We also went to a spectacular and very instructive « walking safari » with Didi, and to a beautiful « boat safari » on the Rufiji river.
From Selous we then drove to the city of Morogoro. On the way we discovered the very various, beautiful and so different landscapes of Tanzania.
Then we went to the Ruaha National Park, among others through the beautiful Boabab Valley, with a stop on the road in Iringa town. In Ruaha we stayed in the Ruaha Hilltop Lodge (www.ruahahilltoplodge.com/), with an amazing panoramic view on the region. We of course visited the Ruaha National Park, the biggest Tanzanian National Park, where we also had the cance to see plenty of beautiful wild animals, mostly of the same kinds that in Selous (see above). We also had the opportunity to visit a Maasai village, and so discover a little their culture and way of life.
Then we went to Mikumi National Park, where we visited the Park, and saw again many animals. There we stayed in the confortable Tan-Swiss Lodge.
This was the end of our safari. We drove back to Dar Es Salaam, and from there flew to Zanzibar, where we had a delighting rest on the beautiful beaches of the Indian Ocean. We also visited a spice farm and the old city of Stown Town.
This trip left us unforgettable memories of the so welcoming and smiling Tanzanian people, among which our guide and driver Matata, with whom we spent such wonderful and funny times, and who became a friend. We also discovered the incomparable beauty of the Tanzanian landscapes, and the diversity of the wild animals in the various Parks and Reserves.
We strongly recommend to everyone to go to Tanzania, especially with Matata! For sure you will not regret it !
Asante sana (thank you very much in Swahili) Matata!
