Expérience, adaptability, planning, fun all made this trip mémorable
From the beginning with the itinerary conception and follow up with Margaret, all our wishes have been Taken into account. Contacts were smooth as well as the flexibility to change plans.
Everything was perfectly organized, greetings, meeting points, lodges, parcs, activities. We had absolutely no worries.
Then, Jemu, our guide was the cherry on the cake. So easy going, smiling all the Time, so knowledgeable, flexible, he answered all our questions.
We learnt so much from him And Saw all thé wildlife we wanted to sée ( and more) thanks to his bushman knowledge. Hé triés very hard to make his guests feel confortable.
We truly had a fantastic Time And are already thinking of Booking a New And longer adventures with him.
Jemu And Margaret, asante sana.

Amazing experience
We had the most amazing time with Viva Safari. Stayed at tremisana Lodge for all 5 days and were able to see the big 5 within the first 2 days. All the guides- Luke, Nadine, Rocky, KG were all amazing and very knowledgeable. Bella at the kitchen prepared the most delicious food for us. What an incredible experience! We will be back.

Easy Booking
Patricia was very helpful in booking our safari for four. The accommodations were very comfortable and the staff were excellent at check in and checkout. There were plenty of game drive options in a three day safari and animal sightings were plentiful. The food was excellent and in more than enough quantity for even the biggest eater in our group. The drive to and from Johannesburg are long, so if at all possible, we recommend flying to Hudspruit to start your adventure. The Blyde Canyon is well worth the drive back to Johannesburg.

Reliable, friendly and very professional with a lot of expertise
My partner and I had the pleasure of embarking on a 6-day private safari adventure in Tanzania, exploring the incredible wildlife and landscapes of Mikumi National Park, Ruaha National Park, and Udzwunga National Park with African Pangolin Safaris. What made this experience truly exceptional was our outstanding guide, Mansoor. His expertise was great. With his ability to spot animals, we had a chance of seeing elephants, lions, giraffes, buffalos and many others. We even saw leopards on for days in a row, which is really rare. He also gave us interesting background information on the country, people, culture and wildlife in general.
We drove in a nice and really new Toyota Landcruiser, the perfect safari car. Food was included and tasted good, we had a fridge in the car so there was cooled water all the time. you can book different levels of accommodation depending on your budget. we chose basic accommodation and the rooms were okay, mosquito nets were always included.
The above mentioned national parks are really worth a visit as they are less crowded then the northern counterparts (Serengeti for example). We liked Ruaha NP best even though it takes a lot of time to get from A to B in Tanzania. The roads were good but there are lots of trucks on the road. Udzwunga NP is good for hiking, we did a 14km circuit- there are even possibilities of hiking for multiple days.
So if you want to explore Tanzania’s wildlife and you are looking for a nice, friendly and reliable tour operator we warmly recommend to choose African Pangolin Safaris.

Very experienced provider, perfectly organized and individual tours are possible
We did the 5 days medium ranged price private tour with a 4x4 Jeep through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha.
We were picked up at our hotel in Nairobi and were brought to the office in the center, where we payed the remaining amount. There we met Joseph, our tour guide and driver. He was a very friendly and experienced guide and he brought us to the best spotting places in the Masai Mara. Also his driving skills are mentionable and often we were among the first cars at a game spotting. His knowledge about the animals was great and he answered every question we had.
The lodge in Masai Mara (Jambo Mara) was not the best. In the two days we had problems with our toilet and the electricity in our cabin. Lake Nakuru lodge and Sopa lodge at Lake Naivasha were really beautiful and we enjoyed our stay there. The staff in every lodge was very friendly to us.
I would only recommend to strictly avoid the boat trip on Lake Naivasha and the visit to Hells Gate National Park. Both costs 20 Dollars per person, without tip for the obligate guide, and it is the money not worth. These are typical tourist traps!
I would definitely recommend Jocky Tours as a tour operator. The private tour in a 4x4 jeep was totally worth the money and I would do it again, but beware of the typcial traps like optional boat rides and park visits.
