Strongly recommend and have just a suggestion
If you want a detailed review, here it is.
We booked the Mikumi National Park 1-day safari from and back to Zanzibar.
We booked online via safari tours, and after submitting our request, we were contacted by Salimu via WhatsApp. He was always very fast in responding and helpful.
Our booking included pick up at the hotel we were staying, flight from Zanzibar to Mikumi, Game drive, lunch, flight back, and drop off at the hotel. We got everything that was agreed on.
Overall, I strongly recommend the experience. There are just a few details that could have been better.
The driver was supposed to pick us up at the hotel at 4.40 AM and when we walked out, he was already there waiting for us. Arriving to the airport, the driver walked with us to the meeting place (that we didn’t know about, but the driver did so we just followed him). There, we were “dropped off” at a café. Someone from the Salimu’s team came up to us, we checked our names on a list, paid by card, no problems.
We flew in a very small and quite old airplane for 13 people. I was extremely afraid BUT I must say that I am afraid of flying in small planes and a bit claustrophobic. The plane was extremely small, but I was positively surprised. Pilot did amazing. The landing is in the middle of the park and the game drivers are already there waiting. There are toilets in the air strip.
Our ride was with Patrick (guide). He was very nice, engaging on questions, and did a good job “searching” for our wishes.
We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, impalas, hippos, crocodiles, monkeys, many different birds, everything.
Around 12 we stopped to eat lunch, and you can eat inside a facility or outside under some trees. There is also a few cottages in the same area, so again toilets and some infrastructure.
Lunch was delicious. Nothing to complain.
We drove a bit more and back to the airplane. We flew back in the same plane with the same pilot, again did a great job.
Zanzibar airport is quite chaotic, and the other people from the same tour had maybe different agreements or booked through different agents, but me and my husband were a bit lost on how to go back to the hotel. There was nobody from Salimu’s team to meet us and say “here it is your ride back to the hotel”.
We just found the taxi drivers that were waiting for passengers, so we decided to walk back to the Café that we met the Tour guys in the morning, or pick up a taxi by ourselves. At the Cafe, there was a lady that I asked about if there were anyone from Salimu’s team, or his agency. She said she would call him (she wasn’t very happy to help but did anyway) and quickly our driver came to find us, didn’t take more than 5 minutes. So, no problem coming home again.
Here is my only complaint/suggestion:
We felt a bit lost on how things would go because we had the feeling that the tourism agency would have someone to gather us and to give us direction when we landed. It might sound silly but it would give us more confidence and understanding of what is going on if we are informed before hand on how things unfold, instead of learning while they are happening.

Great safari in Mikumi national park!
We were on a one-day safari to Mikumi national park. We were picked up at our hotel in Stonetown at 5 am, and the flight was at 6:30.
The 1 hour flight itself was a great experience; a 14 seat propeller. The pilot fly in to the park at low heights so that we could see herds of zebras and giraffes!
At the airfield we were met by our guide and the safari started at the airfield. We were 7 people in the open car and we drove around the park for 4-5 hours watching the animals, birds and plants. We saw all the listed animals (except the leopard), and the highlight was when 5 lions came and lie down 1 meter from our car! We watched them for 30 minutes.
We had the lunch buffet (they had cold beers for sale!) before our flight departed at 2 PM.
Highly recommended!

Professional and well organized
We went on a 3-day safari tour to lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Tarangire and we saw so many beautiful animals (hippo, lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes and many more). It was absolutely incredible. Had an amazing time!
Amazing service and commitment
Amazing service from the agent.
He planned the whole safari trip exactly as we asked. Very responsive and very friendly.
The agent was in touch with us every day on WhatsApp to make sure we are having good time.

You will have a fantastic journey with unbelievable emotions!
We found this tour through the internet. First, what we liked, was the pre booking deposit ( lower than in other firms). We just left the application, and our manager Veronica contacted us immediately. She is wonderful, communicative and professional person. She gave us all needed information, stayed in touch 10 days before trip. Moreover, she even gave us picture of the meeting person in air port.
The tour was good organised, the lunch was made fresh in hotel in Mikumi park. We had not only the variety of meal, but included drinks in prise.
Everything was really fast and easy, so you have just to enjoy animals ( we've seen all, except leopard)
After the arriving to Zanzibar, our driver was waiting us to get to hotel!)
Thank you, Safari tours Africa, especially Veronica!

The best experience
We stayed in North Serengeti. Our guide Joseph were very experienced, professional and friendly. The game drives were fantastic and we saw a lot during the three days we spent at the safari. Also the staff was very helpfull at the lodge and the food was very delicious.
The way the tour operator organised the information and communication between our guide and us was lacking.
allows you to customize your trip - both the duration and the accommodations. This way you only pay for what you want. They provide links to the different hotels so you can easily chose among them. Salim, our trip planner, was great with arrangements and changes and responded promptly by email answering all questions, no matter how minor. He also provided links to easily gets visas, etc.

super organized and a unforgettable journey
This Safari was one of my best experiences ever! We arrived with a group of 31 people and the atmosphere was great throughout. Everything was perfectly organised, starting by picking us up, finding all the hidden animals, surprising us with fresh food and driving us back to the airport. The service was stunning!
