Fabulous 1 day safari from Zanzibar to Nyerere National Park
Where can I start…I booked a day private safari with Asante Bibi to go from my hotel (The Residence, Kizimikazi). I struggled as local resources like TUI said they couldn’t arrange as our hotel was too far from the airport. I found Asante Bibi online as wrote as the reviews were excellent. I corresponded with Daudi Gembe who has provided every piece of information I could want and made the booking and arrangements simple. Additionally he gave practical advice and answered any questions promptly and completely and even added to my pre safari excitement by sharing some live videos 🙂. He arranged our transport to and from our hotel without problem and our drivers were prompt and polite. At the airport in Zanzibar our driver went with us into the small terminal and ensured we were met there and given our tickets. The flight went on time and was super! Fantastic views from our one propeller fixed wing plane shared with 23 other excited tourists. The flight took 45mins and we arrived into Nyerere Park Airport. We could have chosen Mikumi National Park but it is smaller (3,230km square) compared to Nyerere (30,893) and seems to have too many vehicles. Online it says the plus is that you stand a better chance of seeing something as the animals are more concentrated but for me it was I little like going to a UK safari park. Nyerere (also called Selous) is more like a true huge park experience but of course finding animals is more of a chance. At the airport we were met by Gladnes (our guide) and Robert (our driver) wearing Asante Bibi shirts and the largest of smiles. There were around 8 vehicles when we boarded our 4x4 and they all split up but were in touch with each other by radio in case of spotting something interesting. This meant we got that “we are our own in the wilderness experience which I wanted. Gladnes and Robert work at the park and used their experience to answer any questions and advised us to speak quietly to avoid disturbing the animals. And what did we see….well what didn’t we see… Warthog, giraffe elephant ( including a 3 week old baby with its family) , zebra, hippos, mongoose, tree squirrel, wildebeest, kudu, impala, dikdik, water buffalo , baboon, and a variety of birds including African Fish Eagle, Saddle Billed Stork, Southern Ground Hornbill, Giant fisher, weaver birds in hanging colonies and best of all a lion with a kill….wow! It was an amazing and exhausting day but Gladnes and Robert kept us well supplied with refreshments including breakfast by a lake (heavenly) and lunch with a selection of delicious hot food and cold drinks (also toilet facilities here). Top tip is wear muted colours ( not white, black or colours), don’t wear perfume but do wear factor 50. You are close to the equator and you will burn even on an overcast day and the covers on the vehicles offer little protection from the sun. I took a hat and wrap around sunglasses to protect my eyes from the dust and they really helped. Can’t recommend Asante Bibi and the team enough…Asante Sana!

An Unforgatable Safari Experience - 5 Stars
We have just returned from an absolutely incredible safari with Asante Bibi Travel Agency to Ngorongoro, National Park, Serengeti and Lake Manyara, and we cannot express how happy and satisfied we are!
From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. Ngorongoro Crater was breathtaking - like entering another world with so many animals in one place. Lions, ryno black and white, hippo and many others; Serengeti was beyond our wildest dreams, endless plains, stunning sunsets, and we were lucky enough to see all the Big Five. Lake Manyara was the perfect gem with its beautiful landscapes, flamingos, and baboons and monkeys.
We felt safe, welcomed, and truly cared for throughout the all days. This was not just a trip, it was a dream come true and an experience we will cherish forever.
If you are thinking about doing a safari, do it! We highly, highly recommend it with Asante Bibi and his staff: the guide *Daudi* and Roberto and the super driver Jeffrey !!!
Thank you for the best adventure of our lives!
Asante sana and ….wow wow wooooooow!

Responsive and direct action.
The safari experience was really good, and we were lucky enough to see a wide variety of animals, which was definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
The planning and communication could have been a little better at times, but it did not take away from the overall experience. We had a great time and made some amazing memories.
I would definitely recommend this company for safari experiences, visiting a Maasai village, as well as hiking in the Udzungwa Mountains. Overall, a very enjoyable experience!

Perfect , excellent services
We spent 3 days of Safari at the Nyerere international park, we stayed in a lodge next to the entrance of the park, a structure all to ourselves, kindness and exceptional service, immersed in the magical nature that captures you every moment.
Mr. Daudi organised everything in an excellent way, from the arrival at the airport of Dar es Salaam, to the transport, to the pick-up in Dar with delivery of the excess suitcases not brought to the Safari.

Our driver Abel was super nice, excellent driver in the transfers and inside the park.
We always had fresh drinks to drink and lunch inside the lunch was super ..
Our guide Gladness super professional and careful in showing us a lot of animals that we would never have seen, detailed explanations of the flora and fauna. I recommend anyone to rely on this tour operator without any hesitation. Thank you for everything, for the emotions you made us live

Very cool.
We did the 4 days safari. From Dar es Salaam to Nyere National Park, Driving to Mikumi Parc, back to Dar Es salaam. It was a very special experience. Something we never forget. We met the amazing Gladness and Abed. Gladness was our very professional and kind guide, she know a lot about flora and fauna and we learnt a lot from her about the nature and animals. Abed was our driver, very calm and nice energy, the sweetest guy. Couple of tips before you go: Snacks are limited as in, no snacks. if you want to bring little snacks you should. Be aware of long driving hours. You will be all day in the car. If you drive to the other parc, it will be much longer. Maybe best to pick 1 parc. Also remember, you are not in Europe or America, the cars aren't up to those standards, these are cars that have to go everyday on wobbly roads. So please be ready to shake around haha. Daude is very communicative and you will get an update everyday about your schedule. Thank you for this experience.

Flexible, understanding and fun
We had an amazing 2-day safari to Mikumi National Park with Asante Bibi Tours & Safaris, and we highly recommend them.
From the very beginning, the experience was excellent, even though we were late with planning and booking. Communication was very fast, and they always answered our questions quickly. The booking process was easy, including secure online payment, and they were very flexible and willing to adjust the safari according to our wishes. We really appreciated that they listened to us and helped create the experience we wanted.
When we arrived by ferry in Dar es Salaam, everything was organised perfectly. We were met and taken care of from the start. Pray was with us throughout the whole journey and made sure everything went smoothly, from the train and car transfers to the safari and return to Dar es Salaam.
The safari itself was unforgettable. We had a private safari vehicle with a knowledgeable guide and driver, giving us plenty of time to enjoy the wildlife. We were lucky to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos and many other animals. Seeing lions and elephants in their natural environment was a truly special experience. We also saw a lot of animals on our way to and from the national park.
Pray was not only professional and helpful, but also very friendly and funny. His good humour and positive attitude made the journey even more enjoyable. We felt safe, relaxed and well looked after the entire time.
The trip included lunch, dinner, accommodation at a comfortable lodge, breakfast, a visit to a Maasai community, time to relax by the pool and lunch before returning to Dar.
A special thank you to Pray, our guides and drivers Abel and Mwanaidi for making this safari such a memorable experience. Their personal attention made a big difference. If you are looking for a reliable safari company with fast communication, flexibility and genuine personal service, we can highly recommend them.
Excellent!
We just finished our 4 day, 3 night safari experience for the first time, and I just have to say Big Thanks to asante bibi tours, for the amazing trip. We got to visit the waterfalls at Kilimanjaro, serval Wildlife, the ngorogoro crater and tarangire national park. Out accomodations was inside the national park, so we woke up to amazing Wildlife. We Saw the Big 5 and many more! Nb I never reccomand to interract with Wild animals without supervision. If you Are considering a tourguide to help you plan an amazing trip, I would gladly recommend Daudi, at asantebibitours.com

Perfect
We had an amazing safari to Mikumi National Park with Asante Bibi Tours and highly recommend them!
From the very beginning until the end of the trip, everything was perfectly organized. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had the best possible experience.

Very pleasant and well organizer tour
I really had a pleasant experience in my 3-day tour with Mr Daudi Gembe of the Asante Bibi Safaris and Tours. I was travelling solo but I always felt safe during the trip. He and the Mikumi guide and driver Abednego accompanied me in a fantastic game drive in the Mikumi National Park on the first day. I had the possibility to enjoy a wonderful african sunset in the Park before going to my lodge. First night was a little bit of and adventure because I slept at Camp Lilac Mikumi held by a Masai family in the middle of the forest! Second day we visited the Udzugawa National Park and went up to 1850 mt in the mountains to enjoy the beautiful Sanje waterfalls with the help of the locale guide of the Park Robert and his beautiful assistant, little Victoria. We finally came back to have dinner at Camp Bastian lodge and stay the night. I recommend it because it's really nice and it has a beautiful swimming pool which I enjoyed the next day, before coming back to Dar es Salaam. Overall, a vacation to remember for the rest of my life!
