Abdallah is the best guide in Tanzania
This is my second trip to Tanzania and wow what a difference. Mega wild safaris knows what they are doing! And our intrepid guide Abdallah was just incredible. His enthusiasm and patience with all of our questions and love of the work made the whole trip so much fun. He also has this Preternatural ability to anticipate where the animals are going to be and how to exactly position the cars so that we could get the best view. It was uncanny. Like a magician. If you are ever going to Tanzania, make sure you request him as your guide because he made everything so special. Thank you mega wild Safari is for the trip of a lifetime. We will definitely be back.

Tailor-made dream vacation to Tanzania
We finally got to travel to Tanzania after COVID stopped our first attempts in 2020 and 2021. Amidst the pandemic's challenges, Tanzania Explorer (TE) demonstrated remarkable commitment to safeguarding our investment in the initial trip. The operator tailored a perfect trip to our wishes and budget, and made adjustments along the way.
In the weeks leading up to our departure, a representative from the company paid a visit to our home. This personalized touch allowed us to thoroughly understand the trip's intricacies and address any inquiries, leaving us feeling assured and well-prepared for the exciting adventure ahead. Establishing a WhatsApp group connecting us with TE staff further underscored their exceptional customer support, enabling us to seek assistance whenever required from the moment we set out until our return from Dar Es Salaam. Navigating through unfamiliar terrains became a breeze as the TE staff offered constant assistance, facilitating our travel between destinations. This was particularly comforting in the midst of bustling environments that could otherwise be overwhelming.
The operator has a wonderful house in the outskirts of Dar where customers can stay free of charge and acclimatize when arriving and repack and to get some rest before departing back home. This is very welcome in conjunction with exhausting long haul flights. The villa had a friendly and helpful staff that did everything to accommodate our needs, from serving delicious breakfast on the terrace, to recommending places to eat, ordering pizza and tuktuk’s and doing laundry.
Our safari experience unfolded flawlessly under the guidance of a knowledgeable and friendly safari guide. Nestled by the Rufiji river on the outskirts of Selous National Park, our stay at the Mpingo lodge provided the perfect base for exploring local village life, embarking on river safaris, and venturing out for thrilling game drives. The staff at Mpingo orchestrated an unforgettable dinner on a sandbank in the Rufiji river, creating an evening etched in our memory. Amidst the darkness, we were ferried to a bonfire-adorned table where an intimate feast awaited us. The local village community contributed to the magic of the night with lively dancing and singing, turning this into an experience of a lifetime.
Following our immersive encounter with Tanzania's untamed wilderness, a week of sheer bliss awaited us on Unguja ("Zanzibar"). TE's meticulous planning secured us an exquisite villa along the pristine southeastern coast of Unguja. Nestled within a boutique hotel, this villa afforded us direct access to the beach, a tranquil haven for relaxation and exploration of the island's treasures.
Reflecting upon our Tanzanian journey, we are grateful for the operator's exceptional efforts that elevated our experience to extraordinary heights. We have no hesitance in recommending Tanzania Explorer to anyone contemplating a tailor-made adventure to Tanzania.

Perfect Mix of Safari and Diving
We had some beautiful days booked via Widman Safari in the Nyegere-Park.
Gilbert was our perfect guide for 2,5 days.
Luckily we had been able to fly directly from Nyegere (Seous) to Mafia Island (AirLink - thanks to Yummi), where we felt very comfortable at Peter Byrne's Kinasi Lodge!
He is a perfect old-school host and the lodge is very beautiful.
Danielle (Mafia Diving) & Team did a great job and we had some very nice dives.
On the second-last day we spotted 3 humpback-whales - another highlight!
On the morning on our afternoon-home-flight-day AirLink flew us to DarEsSalaam and Gilbert picked us up for a last rain-forrest trip :)
A perfect, but unfortunatley a bit too short, trip!

Memories to last a lifetime
What an incredible country, there was so much to be excited about before we travelled but we could never have imagined the experience we had, the people are the friendliest, most welcoming you could wish to meet, the food was incredible, every accommodation tip top with such a warm and hospitable vibe. As we travelled, we got an insight into the daily life in towns and villages, we saw more wildlife than we could have hoped for! We knew this would be an unforgettable trip solely because of the Serengeti but we were lucky enough to discover there is so much more to Tanzania. Every National Park has something different to offer and if you have time, I would recommend driving over flying in to the Serengeti so you can experience more of what Tanzania has to offer.

Exciting MasaiMara & Agriculture is the blessed beauty of Kenya
National parks & conservancies are well maintained, wide range of animal sightings. The local culture, tribes all dedicated to preserve the wildlife & nature. Agricultural land and wildlife conservation are the most valuable & blessed resources of kenya. It’s my 2nd visit and I wish to visit again this year itself, such an amazing experience.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Lyndsey Deane
A small park and so condensed wildlife, we had amazing up-close baboon and elephant encounters here. A day is enough to see the best of what it has to offer.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Lyndsey Deane
This feels like the setting of a Disney movie, lush green views, incredible example of nature and evolution. There is an abundance of wildlife here and we had some amazing lion sightings - a whole pride from a distance.
