A pleasure to work with from booking to after drop off on the final day.
Everything I hoped an African Safari would be. Weather was perfect for safari driving and hiking up to Sanje Falls. Very few flies or mosquitos. The length of this trip worked really well for us as we got to see all of the animals in the open plains and water holes of Mikumi NP as well as the rainforest in the Udzungwa Mountain NP. During our first half day in Mikumi we saw all the animals we were hoping for, but saw many more of them on our full day in the park. Even though Mikumi is one of the smaller NPs in Tanzania, the density of animals that you go to Africa to go see in the wild was very high (no Rhinos there and didn't see any leopards, but saw lots of everything else). We also really enjoyed our visit to a traditional Maasai clan on our last morning before returning to Dar Es Salaam. Accommodations and staff at Bastian Camp were great as well. Besides the friendliness of all of the locals we interacted with, I can't say enough good things about Mansoor Mohamed, our guide from African Pangolin Safaris. He was pleasant, flexible, knowledgeable, and has built good relationships with the other guides and agents in the industry. He facilitated and translated for us when we decided to go walk around and shop in the back streets of Mikumi (non-tourist area), and facilitated a visit for us to the Cultural Museum in Dar Es Salaam after our scheduled package was over. The trip was full, but we never felt rushed, and still had some time in the pool and around the fire at night. Highly recommend for a first time trip to Africa.

Unforgettable Safari experience thanks to African Pangolin Safaris (Mansoor)!
We booked a Safari tour (Mikumi National Park) with African Pangolin Safaris. We wanted to spend 1 night in the park and 1 night outside the park and Manaoor arranged that for us well. Mansoor is very friendly, honest and helpful. He also knew how to answer all our questions. An experienced, good guide that I recommend 100%! Thanks again Mansoor, we have had a great experience! :)

EXCELLENT
Mansoor was an excellent guide who I would recommend to anyone. Currently living in the East African region we will also travel with him again. He was a true professional and incredibly knowledgeable of the environment and animals. He had excellent recommendations for accommodation and any other queries we had. Best guide we have ever had

The tour operator was professional, knowledgeable and highly organized.
After researching and comparing other safari companies , I decided on African Pangolin, and I do not regret my decision. I feel like everything from the booking process to actual safari tour was organized and handled professionally. I felt like I was gettting the best value for my money. The tour was super fun and we saw lots of animals. Pick up & drop off went smoothly as well. It was one of the highlights of my trip.

The most fantastic safari company in Tanzania, so good I went twice.
Myself and some friends travelled with pangolin safari in 2019 completing the southern circuit. My experience was do incredible I choose to go back with our guide Mansoor on my return to complete kilimanjaro and thr Northern circuit for safari. I would really recommend this tour company as they are extremely reliable, organised, punctual, have good communication and they love love love what they do. In turn you see amazing things, once in a lifetime opportunities and moments you will never forget. Like seeing the big 5. Thank you Mansoor and Pangolin safaris.

Excellent company
We did a 6-day safari with African Pangolin Safaris and our experience was excellent. Our guide Yunus took great care of us and did his best to show the best parts of the park, at the best time of the day.
A full week safari is a good way to enjoy the country and its different parks.
Our trip included Mikumi, Nyegere and Udzungwa with a mix of game drive, boat safari and walks.
Very well organised.
Definitely recommend.

Pangolins Safaris is an excellent operator which will match your expectations.
We had a wonderful experience with Pangolin Safaris. We took the three days Safari in Mikumi with night game drive and added a day for a hike in Udzungwa. They were very flexible and efficient in adapting the program keeping the trip at a very good price. Our driver Yunus drove us smoothly through Tanzanian tricky roads and thanks to his thorough knowledge of the park and animals we didn't miss anything of the great show of nature in the park. Overall it was a great experience wich perfectly matched our expectations.
