An Unforgettable 2-Day Safari in Nyerere – Special Thanks to Deo!
We had an absolutely amazing 2-day safari from Zanzibar to Nyerere National Park with Connect African Safaris, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations.
Everything was very well organized from the beginning. A few days before departure, the team contacted us with all the necessary flight instructions, and our driver in Zanzibar also reached out in advance. He arrived at our hotel early in the morning, helped us with our luggage and even kindly agreed to store our larger bags while we were away.
The short flight to mainland Tanzania was very easy, and arriving at sunrise was unforgettable — a huge orange sun rising over the African savannah was the perfect beginning to our adventure.
At the airstrip we met our guide and driver, Deo, who made the entire safari truly special. He is incredibly kind, welcoming, professional and knowledgeable. During the game drives he told us so much about the animals, birds, trees, nature and local life. He was always attentive and genuinely enthusiastic about showing us the best of Nyerere.
We travelled through the park in a comfortable open safari jeep and saw zebras, giraffes, antelopes, monkeys, hippos, crocodiles, many birds and other wildlife. One of our favourite moments was seeing a lion and lioness peacefully sleeping together under a tree.
Deo also turned out to be a fantastic photographer and took so many beautiful, natural photos of us throughout the trip. These pictures will definitely remain some of our favourite memories from Tanzania.
We also loved the small coffee break during the safari, with tea, coffee and delicious rice cakes with honey, as well as the wonderful lunch at a scenic spot next to a huge baobab tree.
The lodge was very comfortable and authentic, with private accommodation, a swimming pool, a warm welcome from the staff and a delicious dinner with local food.
On the second day we visited a Maasai village, learned about their traditions and way of life, tried on traditional clothes and even danced together with them. Afterwards we went on a boat safari along the river, where we saw hippos and crocodiles from a completely different perspective.
The entire trip was filled with beautiful nature, wildlife, incredible landscapes and very warm, friendly people.
A huge thank you to Deo and the whole Connect African Safaris team for the excellent organization and for making this experience so memorable.
We highly recommend this company to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. We would absolutely repeat this adventure again — without hesitation!

Wonderful Experience with reasonable price
I joined a 3-day, 2-night tour to Mikumi National Park from April 16 to 18. Due to an unexpected change in my schedule, I asked if it was possible to delay the trip by one day. Connect Safari responded kindly and allowed the change without any additional cost, which I truly appreciated.
During the safari, our guide was very experienced and provided detailed and informative explanations about the animals and the park. Even after seeing many animals, the team made a great effort to help us find lions, showing real dedication to giving us the best experience.
The overall atmosphere was comfortable and the price was very reasonable. I was very satisfied with the tour.

Amazing experience
Our experience with Connect African Safaris was nothing short of amazing! From the moment our flight landed, they were there to pick us up, ensuring a seamless transfer to Mikumi National Park despite some unexpected challenges on the road.
Throughout the safari, they went above and beyond to make sure everything was smooth and enjoyable. We were lucky to see all of the Big Four, and they were incredibly patient, always checking in to see if we needed anything or wanted to take more photos and videos. Their attention to detail and commitment to our experience made the trip even more special.
At the end of the day, they not only dropped us off at the hotel they helped us book, but they also waited until we completed our late-night check-in, ensuring everything was in order. Their hospitality and professionalism were truly outstanding.
If I ever visit again, I’ll definitely choose Connect African Safaris without hesitation! Highly recommended!

Professionally organised safari
It was a great experience for us. All team – Abdul, Aggy, Filippo and James took such a good care of us. Everything was very well organised. Tour guides Aggy and Abdul shared their extensive knowledge about animals, birds and plants in the park. And I never thought I’d see wild animals so close. Elephant babies were my favourites 😊

100% perfect
The safari itself was truly amazing. The guides knew what they were doing and told us a lot of things about the animals and the wildlife. Besides from that they took care of EVERYTHING. Abdul and Philip did an amazing job, from pickling us up, to handling the different tours, and we were in a bit of a hurry back to the ferry but they even managed to get us there in time and helped us through the gates. We loved everything and if we’re ever going to Tanzania safari again, this will be it!

Tanzania Dream Safari- pick up and drop off from cruise ship in Zanzibar
Safari James @ Connect Safari designed and orchestrated the perfect 28 hour excursion for us, during our recent stop in ZANZIBAR on a cruise ship. He coordinated our journey with security on our ship. He picked us up at the dock brought us to the airport and flew us over to Tanzania. Our Safari Guide picked us up at the runway at the park in Tanzania, and on the short trip from the runway to our Riverside Lodge, we saw tons of animals, in particular giraffes. We arrived right before sunset and were whisked away for a two hour river cruise, where we saw a minimum of 40 hippopotamuses and numerous African crocodiles. We had a lovely dinner at our lodge, followed by a very comfortable night in an upscale glamping tent/room. When the sun came up, the lodge supplied us with coffee and boxed breakfast, and our guide were already there and took us for a seven hour Safari. We saw lions, giraffes monkeys, elephants, hippopotamus numerous birds and African deer, etc. our driver was informative, professional, and an amazing navigator. He was in contact constantly with other drivers sharing information to make sure that in the short period of time we could see as much wildlife as possible. At the end of the day, he brought us back to The airport where we were flown back to ZANZIBAR, met by our driver and brought back to the side of our ship …one hour before the ship was ready to leave. It was a wonderful experience. I can’t thank them Enough!.
Incredible encounter to wildlife
Our experience was superb; our two guides had amazing experience they shared their facts and knowledge about the wildlife and environment. We would like to thank Lurdovick and Abdul plus James from Connect African safari for putting everything together. Highly recommended

Wonderful Safari in Mikumi
Thanks a lot to Abdul from African-Connect for a very well organized safari to Mikumi!
Starting with an easy pickup, I enjoyed the smooth 3 days with a nice stay in the lodge and an exciting game drive within the park.
