Very good experience
The organization of this experience was very good, although not perfect. Omar picked us up from our hotel and took us to the Dar es Salaam station, where we boarded the train to Morogoro. The only downside was having to wait one hour at the station, when I would have preferred to rest a little longer. In addition, we were not informed about the strict prohibition on bringing food and drinks onto the train, so we were forced to leave the groceries we had specifically bought for the trip at the station due to this lack of information. Had we known, we would have purchased what we needed inside the station instead.
First suggestion for Ernest: inform customers in advance about these restrictions.
Upon arrival in Morogoro, we were picked up by Evance very kind and helpful. He took us for breakfast and introduced us to our guide, Azaria, who then accompanied us on the hiking experience in the Uluguru Mountains. We walked about 5 km to reach the beautiful waterfalls. It is highly recommended to start early, both to avoid crowds at the waterfalls and to avoid extreme heat during the hike.
Second suggestion for Ernest: consider equipping the company, as others do, with motorcycles to transport those who are not willing or able to do the hike on foot.
Azaria is unquestionably number one—he was truly phenomenal!
After returning to Morogoro, we all had lunch together and were then taken to Mikumi, to Vamos Hotel. Unfortunately, the management there was very poor and I absolutely do not recommend it. The staff was not very helpful and did not smile much. Fortunately, the next day we were moved to Chambo Villa, where we were welcomed exactly as we had hoped—by very friendly, helpful, smiling, and extremely kind women.
Third suggestion for Ernest: since the two hotels belong to the same property and are very close to each other, it would have been greatly appreciated if someone had offered to help carry the luggage, especially considering the inconvenience of changing hotels during our short two-night stay in Mikumi.
The Maasai experience, accompanied by Ernest, was pleasant but nothing special. Honestly, it felt a bit staged, but we’ll leave it at that. Ernest is a very capable and curious young man; he is well prepared and does his job very well, I’m sure this review will help him out a lot to improve his company even more.
Finally, safari day arrived! Wake-up call at 6:00 a.m. and off to Mikumi National Park. Unfortunately, we were not able to see all the animals we had hoped for, partly due to bad weather. The jeep was already completely wet in the morning, which was unpleasant for those who don’t like sitting on wet seats and then feeling cold during the tour.
Fourth suggestion for Ernest: provide rain jackets or blankets for guests in situations like this.
Aside from these points, everything else was fantastic! I highly recommend this experience to everyone, and above all, I strongly recommend trusting Saga Expedition!

Amazing experience
An Unforgettable Safari Experience – Safe, High-Quality, and Truly Amazing!
From start to finish, this safari exceeded every expectation. The quality of the experience was absolutely top-notch – from the comfortable, well-maintained vehicles to the knowledgeable and friendly guides who made every moment memorable. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife up close, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and more!
What stood out the most was how safe and well-organized everything felt. The team clearly prioritizes both guest safety and wildlife conservation, which made the entire journey stress-free and enjoyable. Accommodations were clean and cozy, with stunning views and excellent meals that added a luxurious touch to the adventure.
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I couldn’t recommend it more. The owner runs a very reliable and trustworthy company — you’ll feel safe and well taken care of every step of the way
Amazing
Amazing 3-Day Safari & Hike!
We waited months for this trip, and it was totally worth it! The tour was super well-organized, and Hernest, Omar, and Saloniki were incredible from start to finish. The safari and hike in Morogoro were unforgettable. Highly recommend this team!

Safari in Mikumi
My safari in Mikumi was a fantastic experience. The park is full of wildlife, and I was lucky to see elephants, giraffes, lions, and more. What made the trip truly special was our driver – professional, safe, and very knowledgeable. He spotted animals I would have missed, shared interesting facts, and made the whole journey enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable Safari!
I went on a day safari to Mikumi National Park from Zanzibar, and it was such a wonderful experience. Everything was well arranged, and our guide Ernest, made the trip unforgettable.
He is super friendly and knows so much about the animals – not just their names, but also how they live and behave. He answered all our questions in the jeep and really made us feel part of the adventure.
What I loved most is his passion for wildlife. You can feel how much he cares, and that made the safari even more special. Ernest now has his own company, Saga Expedition, and I can highly recommend booking with him. You will be in the best hands!

Ernest was amazing, a very knowledgeable and friendly guide
Ernest was great, got us very close to a number of lions & elephants which felt surreal to watch in the Mikumi National Park. Wish it could've been a bit of a longer tour but Ernest made sure we got to see the most animals in the time we had.

Best safari tour
The communication was great, everything went fine with the transfer and we got a lot of informations about the animals from the nicest tour guides. They provided water and snacks for the tour and we got really lucky to see so much animals. We would definitely recommend it and do it again!
