100% recommended
For sure my next tour will be with Widman’s. We could arrange the tour from one day to another. Punctual and a big 4x4 for 2 persons with good price. Include accommodations, food, water and entrance. The guide Girbert Kamnya 100%, always try to find animals and do explanations. I will recommend to all my friends. Tks Widman.

A friendly and helpful guy!
Ruaha is a less visited park compared to Ngorongoro, Serenghetti or Tarangire. That makes it a much more easy going tour. Less organisation needed. In ngorongoro we had problems bealcause a guy in the agency didnt say about a russian couple's flight to Sansibar. So we had to do it quickly. Ruaha is a quite place without agencies or too much burocracy. The guy did all I needed. Although at the gate there was a bit problem and I had to wait until the problem is solved but that went quickly. We drove many kms and saw many interesting animals in a quite not so crowded touristy place. Early in the morning or late evening the wildlife is so active. Aah I would even go there again just to be in the middle of nothing but the nature in the calm evening again and listen to the wildlife. I just love it! Food was so delicious and even hyenas were closeby because they smelled cooked meat so I heard them in the bush.

Wonderful Safari with Widman Tours!
We visited Ruaha, Mikumi and Selous (now renamed to Nyerere National Park). Each park has its own charm, relief and nature. That was my first time doing safari, and I'm quite impressed by the diligence and good organisation's of Widman's safaris. Widman and his team did their best to make our group feel comfortable at all times from start to end.
Also, special thanks and big kudos to our guide & driver Gilbert - who has an eagle eye to find the Wildlife through bushes and trees hundreds meters away. Gilbert is very knowledgeable and experienced guide, who always tries his best to show you all he could during a safari.
Highly recommend him and Widman's safari agency for the organisation and the good job during our whole trip

Amazing safaris in Ruaha, Mikumi and Nyerere National Parks
I took 3 people on safari with Widmans Tours & Safaris in July 2021. Most of the time (6 nights) we spent in Ruaha National Park with one overnight (one drive) in Mikumi NP as a logistical stop during the transfer from Dar es Salaam to Ruaha. On the way back we stayed one night in Iringa.
All of us are experienced safari goers (I have been to 40+ parks and reserves in 9 African countries) and eager wildlife photographers, so I this is not a comment from a first timer. We are extremely happy with the tour and especially with our guide Gilbert, a very competent and already experienced young man with eagle's eye for wildlife sightings, as well as excellent knowledge of birds, mammals, reptiles, trees and plants. Please, check the photos from this trip that I have uploaded along with this review.
Gilbert is also a very nice and easy going person, a delight to spend time with. He was very hard working and flexible, satisfying every requirement that we had.
Widman, the owner of the company also worked very hard to organize the trip and made sure that every detail has been taken care of.
In January, 2022, I had another safari (this time with a group with another 5 people) with Widmans Tours & Safaris to Ruaha, Mikumi and Nyerere National Parks. All said above applies for this trip, as well.
I would strongly recommend Widmans Tours & Safaris to anyone trying to get the most for their money for either a long or short safari in Tanzania, especially in the Southern Circuit parks - Ruaha, Nyerere (former Selous Game Reserve) and Mikumi.
I sincerely hope that I will be able to use this company's services again for future safaris in Tanzania.
