Extraordinary
Fransisca followed us every step of the way, answering every question quicky. Everything was perfectly organized. It was our first safari and it went very well. The guide was excellent and the accomodation was great too.

Exceptional
Fransisca was extremely helpful and responsive right from the planning stage. She patiently answered all our questions and helped us feel confident about the itinerary. The lodges and camps she selected were absolutely phenomenal — each stay added something special to the overall experience.
A special shout-out to Joshua, our guide and driver. On a safari, the guide truly defines the experience, and Joshua exceeded all expectations. He was friendly, highly knowledgeable, and had an excellent understanding of wildlife and the park. His calm approach and sharp spotting skills made our game drives unforgettable. We would highly recommend him to anyone planning a safari.
Overall, a very well-organized and memorable Serengeti experience. Highly recommended!

Perfectly organised safari for our family. :)
Family trip, 3 major Tanzanian parks in 4 days
(Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire)
Perfectly organized by Mellivorra and managed with experience and kindness by our driver/guide Jordan.
We saw lots of animals (I think all of them) and even the wildebeest migration, even though it wasn't the right season (climate change...).
Magical and unforgettable moments.

Overall Fantastic experience
My wife and I chose Mellivora as our travel operator for our honeymoon, we had an amazing 5 days Safari in the Serengeti, Ngorogoro crater and Tarangire park. Our Safari guide Jordan was brilliant in locating all the animals and ensuring we were well looked after. Fransisca was very responsive and helpful in answering all of our queries prior to arrival. We would highly this tour to any prospective holiday makers.

Great to deal with
We had a great experience doing a 4 night/ 5 day Safari with Mellivora. Fransisca was very easy to deal with and communicated very well. She arranged the return flights from Zanzibar and airport transfers.
Our guide Joshua was also excellent and went above and beyond. The three lodge accommodations (in Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and lake Manyaea) were very comfortable with Great views.

Outstanding honeymoon safari from start to finish
We booked our honeymoon safari with Mellivora African Travels and it was truly the trip of a lifetime. We spent 5 days exploring Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire, and the whole experience was flawless from start to finish.
Our safari guide, Jordan, was absolutely fantastic – incredibly knowledgeable and knew exactly where to take us for the best sightings. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see three leopards and even a cheetah. We also saw many lions, including adorable lion cubs, herds of elephants, and countless other incredible animals.
The organisation by Fransisca was seamless, and everything ran perfectly throughout our trip. We honestly couldn’t have been happier with how our honeymoon turned out – it was everything we hoped for and more.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Mellivora African Travels to anyone planning a special holiday. They made our honeymoon truly magical.

Fantastic
We had a private safari of four for two days. Fransciscah organized everything perfect: the pickup from and to the hotels, the domestical flight, the accommodation. In the first day we had a delicious hot lunch in the safari, the accommodation she chose was dreamy. James, the guide is so funny, has so much knowledge about everything- animals, birds, fauna, local culture and history... We spent a very pleasuant time with him. This safari tour was definitely an unforgettable experience , a dream that comes true.

6 Days 5 Nights Serengeti and Ngorongoro Honeymoon safari
I honestly couldn’t recommend Mellivora highly enough. The communication from the moment we enquired on safari bookings was impeccable and Francisca was very accommodating in helping us alter our trip throughout the initial stages. The service we received was fantastic, including all meals every day and drinks in the jeep whenever we liked.
From what I gathered however (as this was our first safari and an observation from our point of view), the quality of the guiding that we had with Mellivora was really exceptional. Our guide Elia was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and worked extensively to find what we wanted to see on each day. Further, he seemed to have much more of an understanding of the animal behaviour than other guides as sometimes he would tell us to wait patiently near some animals as they were about to do something whilst other jeeps would stop and then shortly move on. Lo and behold they begun to hunt shortly after. This really added to our experience and made our safari after we saw both lions and cheetahs hunting (although we did feel quite lucky to have these encounters).
I would highly recommend going on safari with Mellivora and will be doing so to friends and family who visit Tanzania in the future. I myself was somewhat hesitant as they had slightly less reviews than a peer but I am very glad I made the choice to go with them (and the fewer reviews is one of the main reasons for writing this as I truly want to support this business)!
Thank you for such a fantastic trip!
