Amazing Tour
We had an amazing week on safari with Mellivora African travels. This is a small local enterprise punching it’s way above in the industry. Fransisca helped us work out what we could do on our budget, and advised us every step of the way. No question too silly, no detail too small. David and Action were on top of everything, great fun, amaizing experience and we ate like kings every day. Johnson was well connected with the other drivers in the park and so we saw loads of animals. The choice of accommodation was great too.
It’s hard to work out which company to go with but we struck gold with this small, honest and experienced team.

Everything is amazingly professional
"An incredible experience which got beyond any expectations we had.
3 days of safari, guided by the lovely Ernest who showed great knowledge and took care of everything we needed.
Me and my sister were amazingly satisfied and happy that Ernest was the one who took care of us.
The safari was well planned, from the first day to last through the tasty meals, safe car, and the beautiful and authentic lodges, which made the experience feels comfortable.
You guys provided the best services anybody could ask for. We have nothing to say than thank you as we enjoyed every moment of it.

Unforgettable experience
Very good and reliable company with great guides. We had 8 day private safari with all Tanzanian highlights. The logdes and the catering was amazing! We’ve seen all Big Five, including a few leopards really close - thanks to our guide Naseeb, very experienced & friendly guy. Definitely recommended!

Hé was perfect for the tour
We had a wonderful 6 days/5 nights trip with Mellivora African Travels from Arusha to Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. We were picked up by our lovely guide Johnson from our Arusha hotel and had a quick stop at the Mellivora African travels office to finalize admin and get a briefing. Then we were off to Ngorongoro.
Johnson was a fabulous guide - friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable about anything we wanted to know about nature and history throughout our trip.
We spotted so many lovely animals, including the rarer ones like cheetahs and rhinos. Well, Johnson spotted them as he has that skill to spot really everything.
Everything worked according to plan and was thought through and we can highly recommend Johnson as a guide and Mellivora is a tour operator!

Loves their job!
I did a share safari tour of Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro NP with 3 other travelers. The trip was very well organized. Communication all throughout the the trip was excellent. Fransisca was always quick to answer any questions I have regarding the trip before the trip begin. The trip was very reasonable priced and they made sure top notch accommodations and service all through out the trip. All the four accommodations we stayed were very well picked. I in particular loved the lodge where we stayed in Ngorongoro and also the tented lodging experience at Serengeti. Issa was our tour guide - he is a very experienced guide and went out of his way to take care of all of us. I also enjoyed our lunch arrangement - unlike box lunch, it was a warm meal with proper utensils and everything. Overall the trip was amazing. Safari is for most of us once in a lifetime experience and I am so glad that I picked Mellivora African travels for that.

Highly organized and professional
our group of four had an unforgettable experience with Mellivora African travels. We visited Tarangire National Park, Ndutu Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park. We watched all big five and plenty of other animals and birds. Before the trip, I had very effective and smooth communication with the owner Fransisca when planning our trip. He always answered my questions very quickly and patiently. Mellivora African travels is a local travel agency and their pricing is very reasonable compared to other travel agencies, especially international travel agencies. Our safari guide and driver Ben is simply gorgeous and amazing! He worked very hard everyday and made our trip such a wonderful experience! The guide Issa for our one-day Kilimanjaro hike is amazing too! Thank you guys and you are the best!

Always happy
We did a one week private Safari in November. Fransisca was very helpful in customizing the trip exactly to our wishes. Our driver Johnson provided us with an outstanding experience due to his deep knowledge of animal behavior which allowed him to anticipate animals movements and created unbelievable
encounters at close range with elephants, lions, cheetahs, hippos and many other. We very much appreciated his respectful behavior towards the wildlife, people and environment as well as his friendly nature.

They made the experience magical and fun!
The 4 day safari is perfectly organized all around. In the short time you have the opportunity to see three very different national parks with different flora and fauna. The accommodations were very clean and spacious, and we especially liked the two nights in the tent, because you sleep right next to the animals (remember warm clothes!). This was an extraordinary experience.
The food was perfect all around, there is always a vegetarian option offered in addition to meat.
The very best thing about the tour was our guide. We can really recommend Simon 100 percent. He is super nice, answers every question and has a huge experience in dealing with the animals. We talked to other people from other safaris and found that Simon was able to show us most of the animals - and that too from a close distance. Thank you very much Simon!
We will definitely come to Tanzania again and book another safari with this provider.
