Beyond all expectations!
Truly the trip of a lifetime!!! From start to finish, the team made us feel completely cared for — warm, professional, and deeply knowledgeable. The owner even met us at both the start and end of our journey to make sure everything went smoothly.
We saw the Big Five and so much more — every game drive felt like a new adventure! Our guide was amazing at spotting animals and always made sure we got the perfect view (and photo!). He also shared stories and cultural insights that really brought everything to life.
The accommodations were stunning — right in the middle of nature yet incredibly comfortable. Falling asleep to the sounds of the Serengeti and waking up to its sunrise was pure magic.
We can’t recommend this company enough. Every moment was unforgettable, and we’ll treasure this experience forever! Thank you again :)

AMAZING and trustworthy. The best tour operator there is.
This was an AMAZING experience. The process of arranging the tour went super smoothly and was clear. They had great accommodation choices and even chose the best spots were you stop for breaks and lunch. They definitely pay attention to details and tailor the experience in such a way that you feel super comfortable, safe, while you enjoy at the maximum. Thank you to Rigan for arranging everything and being so kind. Also special thanks to our guide Benjamin!!!! He is an amazing guide, very knowledgeable, ready to help, reliable, fun, and took great care of us! I learned so much during this trip and had so much fun as well! It was definitely a unique vacation experience :) thank you!!!

Unforgettable Experience with African Big Cats
Unforgettable Safari with African Big Cats – a dream come true!
Our safari with African Big Cats gave us unforgettable moments we will cherish forever. Everything we had hoped for was fulfilled – and even exceeded. The lodges were stunning, the organization was flawless, and our driver Gabi was absolutely fantastic: knowledgeable, kind, and always made us feel safe and well taken care of. Every detail was thought through, and every day brought new highlights. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Wonderful safari
We were on safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro and they were days that we will never forget because of how wonderful and magical they were.

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!

Thanks to Peter, We could see cheetahs. Saw so many crossing and migration of beast. We missed only leopard, but its hard to find.
