Amazing experience
We had a great safari at Polman's. Every day was special and a surprise as to which animals we would see. It ranged from elephants, giraffes, lions to beautiful birds. We were not short of anything with our driver Mohammed Jija.
Mohammed is a loving driver. He takes you all the way on the different rides.
He has a lot of experience and can tell a lot about the different animals.
You can ask him anything and he goes the extra mile to make every ride special. You just have to stop saying something else and he will do everything he can for the best and most beautiful photos. This was a beautiful and adventurous safari for us that we will never forget!
Compliments to Mohammed. If we go on safari again, we will definitely ask for Mohammed as a driver.
We recommend him 100%, actually more than 100%, as a director. We give Mohammed a 10+.

Fantastic budget priced safari
Our safari was very well organised from start to finish and Evans was a fantastic guide. We saw so many animals and had an amazing experience in the National parks. We were very well looked after by the staff at the accommodations, whuch were very good and food was excellent. We visited a Masai village which was very worthwhile.
One thing to note is that we were offered the option of paying for the safari by credit card but this turned out to be inconvenient and we wasted time on the first morning trying to get cash for the National Park entrance fees. It would be worth clarifying payment options before the day.
Overall a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend Lenchada for your safari!

Amazing 45 year Wedding Anniversary safari with Gerald of Landsman Experience!
From our first contact with Gerald before travelling to Africa he answered all questions and queries promptly and with his help we put together an itinerary to best suit our needs! He met us at our hotel on arrival in Arusha to go through the tour in detail and provide more information, timings and answered any questions we had. He was polite, extremely knowledgeable and we are so glad we chose Landsman for our first safari in Tanzania. We found him to be a superb guide and keen to make sure we had the best experience and see all the animals that we wanted! Sometimes getting us to sites before anybody else arrived ensuring we got some unique footage and amazing memories. Whilst on safari we celebrated our 45th Wedding Anniversary and Gerald organised a hot air balloon trip with Shine Balloon Safaris again another excellent choice and fantastic experience. He also presented us with a lovely gift and cards and organised for the hotel to provide us with a heart shaped cake and celebratory dancers to present it to us, which made the day so special and was a lovely touch and very thoughtful! On the safaris his knowledge of the animals and habitats was brilliant and interesting and we can honestly say that the safari far exceeded our expectations. We felt safe at all times with Gerald and he was genuinely keen to make sure we had the best time and we can only thank him sincerely for achieving that! We can highly recommend him and his company for the caring personal touch in the way they conduct their business.

Evans was very nice and always had a good answer for any question asked. He also managed to show us a cheetah, two lion prides and a tsavo cat so we were all very happy with the experience.
Very professional, friendly and Evans helpful
Evans was friendly, thoughtful and always had a smile. His knowledge of the areas we travelled is extensive and made our trip particularly interesting.

The vast plains of Tanzania unfolded before me, teeming with life, as I embarked on an unforgettable journey with Dancing Simba Safaris from June 28th to July 3rd, 2024. My adventure spanned the diverse landscapes of Tarangire National Park, with its towering baobab trees and vast herds of elephants. The serene beauty of Lake Manyara offered a glimpse of playful baboons silhouetted against the setting sun, their chatter echoing through the trees. Long-necked giraffes stretched their elegant forms to feed on leaves high in the canopy. The awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, left me breathless. But it was the majestic Serengeti National Park that truly stole the show. Here, a seemingly endless sea of wildebeest thundered across the vast savanna, punctuated by the calls of gazelles and the watchful gaze of lions. The air vibrated with a symphony of bird calls, and the iconic wildebeest and zebra migrations painted a moving picture across the landscape.
With Dancing Simba's expert guides and comfortable accommodations, our diverse group from all corners of the globe (America, Africa - me from Ethiopia, Europe - Norway, Asia - China, and Australia) had an unforgettable safari experience. The shared thrill of encountering Tanzania's incredible wildlife fostered a sense of camaraderie that transcended cultural differences. Our safari jeep became a microcosm of the world, with six of us sharing stories and laughter. I, from Ethiopia, learned a lot from my fellows, while the thrill of spotting a pride of lions sparked lively discussions with our fellow travelers from Norway, America, and Australia.
A special thanks goes to Mr. David John, who ensured everything was perfectly organized, and to our incredible guide, Mr. Joseph. His knowledge and passion for Tanzanian wildlife made the experience truly unforgettable. He expertly explained the tour and the fascinating species of animals we encountered, bringing the wonders of the African savanna to life. This trip was more than just a good time; it was a transformative experience that deepened my appreciation for nature's wonders. From the vast plains teeming with life to the awe-inspiring heights of Kilimanjaro, where I challenged myself with a one-day hike to Mandara Hut, with a special thanks to my incredible guide who expertly paced me throughout the climb, Tanzania offered an unforgettable adventure.

Expert and Helpful
Memorable and fruitful experience with Bashir as our expert guide and Ashraf as our amazing chef. We were able to spot a rich variety of animals and birds at both Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Bashir is an expert at navigating through the parks and finding animals. Arshad is an excellent chef and kept us well fed through his culinary artistry. Would love to do this once again!
