memorable Safari
It was amazing for my family to do a safari with Connect Africa. Sheryl was attentive to our request and organized the safari based on our requirements.
We had an experienced driver and guide for the safari and were lucky to see several animals (more than 20 lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos and others). We had the privilege to see lions hunt. The hotel (Bastian) was perfect, with delicious food.
Thanks a lot to Sheryl and the team for this gift to my daughter, who has seen her favourite animal (Lion).
Sheryl connected us with Juma, a guide in Zanzibar, another professional who organized a perfect tour for us.
We come home with memorable souvenirs, and I will recommend Connect Safari and Juma to others without hesitation.
Sheryl, continue to do what you do- make people's dreams come true.

My first safari
It was my first safari and it was an awesome experience. We saw a lot of animals and our tour guide Francis was really knowledgeable about animals and the history. On the last day he even tracked down a bunch of lions

Unforgettable and enchanting experience!
My husband and I decided to Celebrate our 10-year anniversary with a Safari, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our Safari guide was amazing we saw all the animals we wanted to see. We also told him we saw elephants at the zoo on one of our first dates, so he always made sure to stop where there were elephants because of how special they were to us!
Sheryl was also amazing to work with, we had some issues with our time off from work but she created an itinerary that worked for us. She went above and beyond because all the lodges and places we stayed were amazing! They had beautiful views and it always at a perfect location to relax after a day out with all the animals.
I would highly recommend it! We are hoping to take our daughters next time we go and will definitely come back to Connect

Connect African Safaris, your gateway to Tanzanian safaris
Connect African Safaris was the first to react to my quote request and I was a little surprised that Thecla contacted me personally by WhatsApp. After that there was a good contact with both Thecla and Sheryl and they answered all questions my wife and I had. On the morning of the start of our safari Sheryl came personally to our hotel to make sure that everything was okay. Our driver/tour guide Emanuel proofed to be a good driver and after a 6 hour trip from Dar Es Salaam to Mikuni National Park we could start our first game drive. Thanks to Emanuel we already saw all animals on our bucket list and after a few hours driving through the park we went to the lodge that Connect African Safaris had booked for us for a nice dinner and a good sleep. The next morning it was up early again for breakfast and then off to the park. Again a lot of animals where seen and Emanuel stopped where ever we wanted so we could get the best possible photos. In the afternoon we had a short but very interesting visit to a Masai village. On the final day it was back to Dar Es Salaam where we were dropped off at the hotel of our choice. I can highly recommend Connect African Safaris. Communications are excellent and they give a very good service. If I ever have the opportunity to visit Tanzania again I will certainly book a tour with them again.

Nice Safari
It was a long drive from the port to Mikumi Game park but it gives you the ability to really see how the locals live. At one point, the road was closed for a traveling dignitary. We got out to stretch and met a Maasai man that had walked about 10 miles to find a place for his cattle to graze (drought making it tough). Priceless experience

Beyond expectations and exceptional experience!
We had an absolute glamorous experience in our 3 days safari to Mikumi National park,
we got quite lucky with the game drives and managed to see amazing Tanzanian wildlife beings.
Msangi our tour operator managed to make us meet our beyond expectations by communicating every single detail or demand in advance. Our safari driver Emmanuel provided us with a detailed knowledge of the wild animals and their habitat and was genuinely enjoying sharing the safari experience with us.
Our driver Patrick is a pro on road trips and gave us the best convenience in his rides.
The 3 days Mikumi National Park safari / hiking at Ngorongoro mountain trip is a value for money and an unforgettable experience to get to know Tanzanias wildlife and its amazing and welcoming people.
Would totally recommend

Sheikha is a professional organiser & she dealt with every queries promptly and efficiently.
I’m glad we found this site just a couple of days before our safari trip as it only took them couple of days to organise whole day programme at the mikumi national park. We just had to pay for what program we wanted and rest was all done by connect African safari very effortlessly. We were picked up from our hotel, taken to the national park, did the game drive for 3-4 hours (saw all main five wild animals), lunch/dinner & accommodation was all booked within the programme. We had the best time and made the best first safari memory ever.

The Most Amazing Experience... Selous Park
My husband and I planned to take a much-needed break and I realized we had to try one of several safari experiences when we decided on Tanzania. I had a million safari options, but I got an immediate reply from Omar the owner and manager of this company, I knew we had to go along with him. He was so sweet, assuring and reliable. I felt linked automatically and moved on to prepare. He was still very patient in the arrangement, we chatted a lot online and after a few calls, it began to feel like friends already. For our permits, pick up at the airport and more, Omar went the extra miles to plan out of the package for which we paid for. It was about my wife and my wife.
It was our first safari experiences for both my husband and I and Omar had a lot of well-orchestrated experiences. A very therapeutic experience was our three-day stay in Selous Park. We would like to see it again. On the day of our departures to Selous Park, we were picked up by Sheika (Omar's beautiful wife) with whom we had already spoken and along with our tour guide a very gentle but deeply knowledgeable chap named Frank, so kind-hearted. We just had an incredible time together.
Sheika had planned a very VIP tour for us, with stops to sample tasty Tanzanian dishes from local cuisine. All in all, I have to say, they are a great company, and we had the one of the BEST safari experiences with them. We had an amazing boat ride on the Rufiji River; got to see hippos, elephants, tigers, giraffes, different species of birds and a variety of other animals. We picnicked up in the wilds and had the finest food and customer service in the little lodge we lived in. It was such a sad time for us to leave after three lovely days in Selous.
I will surely recommend their services for all.
Omar and Sheika are the absolute power duo, their customers service skills are top-notch.
And for the record my husband and I will be back for more lavish experience next time.
Thank you to the entire Connect Africa team and in particular to Omar, Sheik and Frank.

Beyond what i expected
In the beginning, I hesitated a lot to book a safari with this company, knowing that it was my first safari trip, as I did not find much reviews for it since it is a new company, but I took the risk because they made a great offer with amazing accommodations with an excellent price, and this was one of my best decisions.
I have contacted several companies and they were offering great offers with a high price, and other companies had offers with a reasonable price, but the accommodations were not good.
I contacted Connect African Safaris and they were very helpful and were very quick to respond in adjusting the safari schedule and accommodations with Hamidu
When we arrived at kilimanjaro Airport, my husband and I met Omar and he explained many things to us about the region, culture and tribes on our way to the hotel and also showed us a wonderful restaurant to have dinner in Arusha
On the second day the adventure started with our driver and guide Hamisi. He is really cool and professional. He was very helpful with us and tried hard to make us enjoy the best game driving and see a lot of animals. We've seen the Big Five
They are a great company and we had the BEST safari experience with them. Thank you guys for the most wonderful trip.

More than we expected:)
We really enjoyed every minute of this safari. Got a really nice guy as our guide. In the end it was even a little bit sad to leave, as we were together for almost one week. He was always very helpful and prepared. Had amazingly good picnics every day!!! Also got some nice photos with animals so close to us. Saw almost every wild animal. The coolest thing was that we saw Simba trying to catch Pumba but he couldn't make it. But we were so close and staring at it was very very cool experience, highlight of the trip. We are more than happy with this tour:))
