Well-run private safari with strong operations, Abdul is top-tier
We booked an 8-day private safari in northern Tanzania and were impressed by how well everything was executed. Before the trip, communication was clear and responsive. On arrival, transfers were punctual, the schedule was organized, and daily routines were consistent, which matters a lot on a safari.
Abdul, our guide and driver, was top-tier. He is excellent at spotting wildlife and even better at positioning the vehicle. He repeatedly chose parking spots that gave unobstructed views, and several times animals naturally moved closer to our side shortly after he stopped. That kind of consistent “right place, right time” ability is rare and made the viewing experience exceptional.
The vehicle was clean and in good condition, and Abdul drove safely on rough roads. Wildlife viewing etiquette was respectful, never aggressive. Overall, this was a smooth, professional safari with a truly outstanding guide. We would book again and strongly recommend requesting Abdul.
