Good Service
We had a wonderful tour. The waterfall was great, despite the water level being low. The guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. The meal was very good and we had a nice swim in the hot springs.
I am however, taking out two stars on transportation. Very disappointed with the type of transportation provided. We had an old minibus which was uncomfortable and not appropriate on bumpy roads.

Excellent service and support
We visited Pugu forest for hiking. The trip was good. The guides gave us a lot information about the site. We also had a chance to see the whole of Dar es Salaam city. I was impressed.

Amazing 6 days in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro-Area in the best of company!
In July 2023 I spent 6 days with Akida, Bakari and two other travelers on safari. It was such an amazing experience. We saw so many wild animals, that it is hard to name them all. Bakari also gave us lots of informations about them and answered all our questions. One of my highlights: We observed a cheetah during the hunt. And he catched the gazelle in the end. We were also so lucky to see the "Big 5" and the "Big Migration". Akida and Bakari cared about us and always made sure that we're fine. Akida and Bakari: Thank you so much for everything! It couldn't have been better! All the best to both of you!

Best travel agent in Tanzania
Best travel agent for group trips, lay-off adventures, and well planned vacations . Had the best lay-off adventure in Zanzibar in 2020 and multiple group trips rich and worth it.

Forthcoming, time keeping, fun, excellence.
Safari 56 makes everything safari feel great - I've loved all the hiking experiences I've done with them. They are detailed oriented, and nothing is ever forgotten. Loved the experience, and I will go on more hikes and safaris with them.

Amazing Experiences!
Ontime pickup, amazing drivers and guides. The hiking experience is one to die for especially the scheduled groups.

A spellbinding experience made by the experts on the Safari team
I booked Safari 56 after my Tanzanian friend saw the strong endorsement on their Facebook page. I needed to do a 3 day safari in between my stints in Dar and in Zanzibar. I wasn’t disappointed. I had a briefing by Allen and Kenneth the day before and then was picked up by Habib the morning afterwards. We spent a great day driving through Ngorogoro, then to Serengeti and then back through Ngorogoro. Our guide Habib was excellent. He was invariably the most keen sighted and first on the scene for a special moment. I told him I dreamt of seeing a leopard and he duly found two for me that very day. One on a rock and another up a tree with a gazelle as prey. Habib experienced numerous difficulties outride his control during the trip (a flat tire, getting stuck in a muddy pothole and finally a broken brake) but was basically unflappable throughout. He combined all the qualities you need in a good teacher or guide, both deep knowledge of his craft (in this case the flora and fauna of Tanzania) - and trust me, we all bombarded him with questions constantly! But also, you need passion, and it was clear how much Habib loves the animals and treasures his ability to show people the pride of Tanzania. It was his first safari since lockdown and he told us how much it meant to him to be out there again. We saw all the Big Five even a rhinoceros albeit at some distance out. But it was the guide and his cook Peter - who cooked gourmet food under the most challenging conditions - who really made the trip great. The whole experience was very positive. And most importantly it is a fraction of the price of some other safaris I was quoted. I would recommend Safari56 unreservedly. Chris
