Well organised
Tour was well organised and communication was constant from bookings period, during the tour and even after return in Dar.
The Nyerere tented camp was good. Pretty new and comfortable. The food and service was good as well. Knowing it was the short raining season (but this time with heavy rains) we had a good time.

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

They consistently showed extraordinary responsiveness, care and service. World class.
From the moment we first made contact with them they made us feel important. They were patient and flexible with all the changes we kept making. Through the preparation, planning and during the trip they put our wishes and needs first, their focus was on giving us the best possible safari experience. My partner had mobility challenges when we arrived and our driver and guide was caring, attentive and helpful. Their service exceeded our expectations again and again. Omar was the person we dealt with and his service levels were exceptional. We travel a lot and have never experienced anything quite like this level of personalisation and caring. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Halima was very friendly, willing to answer all my questions, just a joy to work with on the details
Connect African Safaris reached out to us immediately. Halima, our tour operator, was wonderful. Very helpful in answering our questions before and during our safari. Our driver, Mr Moody, was very nice, funny, and full of interesting facts about the animals. Accommodations at Camp Bastian were very nice, and we were treated well by the staff. Food provided was good. Great experience for the price. Saw lots of animals - unfortunately we did not get to see a pride of lions, although on the first day we did see four sleeping female lions.

Super great organized safari! The staff went above and beyond to meet our needs. Would def reccomend
The safari tour was really well organized, everything has been taken care of: game drives, accomodations, food. We did a private safari and our driver did everything according to our wishes and needs. We saw amazing animals from super close, had nice lunch in the nature and we also liked staying at Camp Bastian: It was clean and the food was delicious. We would highly reccomend Connect African Safaris to anyone!

Competent, professional and trustworthy tour operator
We would like to thank Halima for organising our tour so well. She was with us all the way from contacting us through the booking process and even on the trip, making sure we were comfortable and able to enjoy the safari to the full. She was always attentive, professional and extremely welcoming. I'm sure the other staff at Connected African Safaris are also very good, but we can highly recommend Halima. Many thanks to Halima and Connected African Safari!

Very eager to fulfil all wishes and well organised.
We were very happy with our trip and were glad we booked with Connect African Safaris. They were very helpful and looked to tailor everything to us beforehand, making the programme just the way we wanted it. They even picked us up directly from the airport and then brought us back to the ferry as well and helped us with organisations for tickets! 2 small things that could be improved are: We were already picked up from the airport with the car for the safari (because we landed very late and drove directly to the national park). Unfortunately, the car did not have air conditioning and was not too comfortable - this could perhaps be arranged differently. And it would have been great to have a guide with us who could also explain some of the surroundings, the country etc. Otherwise, I can only say it was TOP - our driver knew his way around Mikumi National Park, we saw a lot of animals and very close to them, and our accommodation was clean and nice.
We can only recommend Connect African Safaris!

Honest, reliable, and committed to providing a decent service.
Omar, the owner of Connect African Safaris really gives the personal touch. From being in constant contact over Whatsapp, accepting payment via the secure DPO payment method, and even meeting in person after the safari wanting to find improvements/weaknesses in his tours, Omar really cares. He provided Moody (Mohammed) as our driver, who himself is a never ending driving machine! Also very knowledgeable and takes you into the deepest corners to find the animals, even when they're in their hiding spots.
I would highly recommend Omar and Connect African Safaris.

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.
