Unforgettable whale shark safari
So grateful for Deo Safaris for offering the possibility of a 1-day trip from Zanzibar to Mafia Island for whale shark safari. Not many companies do this and typically you are recommended to go via the main land, which would have eaten up too much of our time. They turned out to be very helpful, and arranged transfer back and forth to our hotel in Nungwi. The whale shark safari itself was an unforgettable experience, where we managed to get up close to a whale shark.
We had booked a specific date at first, but the weather turned out to not be with us as the flight to Mafia Island got cancelled. However, we were offered a full refund or a new date to which we picked a new date. But all in all proof of how helpful and easy to communicate with they are, and which made for an even better experience!

I think that was a good operator
I liked the experience but my only disapointment was not seeing any leopard.

Posted on Feb 22, 2026Hi,
We are very happy to hear you had a good experience. We hope you have memories that you can enjoy for a lifetime.
We understand your dissapointment about not seeing the leoppard. However, it's wildlife. And especially leopards are very rare to see, in every national park. They are primarily nocturnal and have a solitary existence, which makes it very hard to "find" them. Luckily you could enjoy many other animals.
We wish you a very pleasant remaining stay in Zanzibar and hope to see you again in the future.
Kind regards,
Reinie Verlaat

My safari tour was amazing and i made memories that last for a lifetime!
I went on a 3 Day trip on the 9th, 10th and 11th of March. The flight from Zanzibar to Tanzania was smooth. From the airstrip i went to the Slow Leopard Lodge. The arrival there was super friendly and the service was amazing. All the food en drinks where super fresh. You could ask for everything! The first day was a game drive and i was in great hands of the driver Goodluck. He was amazing behind the wheel, what a driver! And my guide Shukran has an answer on all your questions about wildlife! The second day was a trip on the river that also was an amazing experience with all the animals you see there and the beautiful nature that surrounds you. The third was also a game drive and again with Shukran and Goodluck. Those 2 are amazing! Also special thanks to Deo and Reinie for arranging a mindblowing 3 day trip! Everything was taken care of really good and everything you want to do, even if it is extra, is open to discussion. Thank you all so much for the memory of a lifetime.

Excellent 3 Day Safari
A really great Safari in Nyerere National park. Deo was able to customise this trip for us to add an extra game drive and an extra night and I texted him each evening about the plans for the next day and he was always very responsive. The accommodation and food was great and the guides were all really friendly and informative. I visited 6 other national parks on my trip and this one was the best experience because of the the service provided by the guides. In particular Joseph was amazing. Very knowledgeable and relaxed and a very good jeep driver which was very useful for the rainy season. We saw loads of amazing wildlife on the trip and I would definitely recommend to anyone considering.
