Great experience
Everything was very good in terms of the service. The communication was great before and during the safari. We were taken care of from the airport to the end of the safari. Eliud was a great companion, professional and really helpful. He is calm, knowledgeable and thoughtful. Would recommend to anybody.
We did a 4day safari in Naivasha (Sopa Lodge) and Mara (Sarova Mara). Both accommodations were good, in Naivasha we had hippos strolling by our house at night and Mara was a bit chilly at night due to the rainy weather.
Eliud took care and did his best to show us the beauties of both parks.

Excellent knowledge and very personalized service
I recently went on a 9 day Safari with Paul from Shalom Safaris East Africa. The experience was exceptional. Paul has over 30 years experience as a safari guide in East Africa, and it shows! His knowledge of the parks, animals, terrain, lodges and local culture are unparalleled. His goal is to provide everyone a 5 star experience, which he certainly delivered on my trip. I would highly recommend Shalom Safaris East Africa to anyone looking for an amazing safari experience. I will certainly be using the company next time we're back!

mostly positive
Package was excellent and delivered as described. Accomodation was overall in good standards. Communication was easy and professional, host was knowledgeable and responsive to queries and very organised.
Pick up time stated for the tour beginning was stated as 6am which is incorrect as we got picked up at 10am, incorrect information forced us to arrive a day early and find our own accomodation when it was unnecessary as flights could’ve got us into VFA by 10am.
Victoria falls part of the tour was good however both lunches and one dinner were not included package. Be prepared to pay approx 25USD per person per meal in Victoria Falls for these. Also, the accommodation is located a significant distance from the town site and thus transport must also be factored.
Botswana was excelled especially as the Chobe game drives were almost always private for our tour party (2 pax) or with only one or two others, rather than a large group. The Botswana component of the tour is all inclusive of meals. Would recommend departure from Kasane airport due to it’s close proximity to the tour end point.
Activities were delivered well. Would recommend optional African village tour. All guides and hosts were friendly, professional, on time and very accommodating.
Overall, safety and security felt assured at all times of the tour and it was a very positive and enlightening experience.

Amazing outstanding an unforgettable experience
We spent 3 amazing days with James on Safari. It was an experience of a life time. James Muchina was most amazing he went about and beyond our expectations. He made our trip of a life time truly amazing. His knowledge and understanding of the animals was amazing. We could not ask for anything more. By the end of our adventure James was like family. If you need a guide look no further. He is the one to make your adventure complete

Excellent organizing, professional staff, lots of different animals to be seen
We booked a day safari from Dar to Mikumi in advance. Mwajabu was very correspondive via Whatsapp and was professional, very well organized. We were picked up from DAR airport after arrival in early morning. We paid the tour in shillings (there was a working ATM at the airport) and we were driven to Mikumi in a comfortable air-conditioned car by driver Dhula. After a 7 hour ride, we arrived and were greeted by our guide Gilbert and we joined his group for safari. The animals were everywhere, especially giraffes were found all over the national park. The drive was slow so we got close to the animals. But there were no lions, we were told they are rare in Mikumi. We had a lunch at the park restaurant, the food was not very tasty but edable. After that we made another different tour around the park with the driver and then headed back to Dar. On the way we had a buffet dinner at a gas stop restaurant. I should have mentioned about my gluten- intolerance beforehand, it was difficult to find something to eat there. Luckily the waiter offered an omelette for me so didnt leave the place hungry.
Mikumi was quite far away from Dar so we should have booked a 2-day tour (which was recommended by Mwajabu but we were stubborn to book only a day-trip).
This safari would have had 5 stars if the food was right. This time it wasnt for us, but it’s partially our own fault. Going for a safari with Tanzania Mwangaza Safari is recommended anyway, this is a trip to remember! But make it longer than one day :D Asanti sana!

Good experience. Felix, always answer for all questions anytime. He is very disponible.
The communications were very easy. The safari tours also.
But tell to your customers the kandili camp is not in the national park.
The camp was perfect anyway.

Unforgettable Tanzania, amazing Safari Crew!
A truly memorable experience, meticulously planned by Safari Crew Tanzania. The experience went far above our expectations.
We have been to Kenya before and we enjoyed every bit of it, but the trip to Tanzania has been the experience of a lifetime.
When booking the trip, our contact was Mr Rocco, the director of Safari Crew, we had the pleasure to meet him before and after our safari. He’s a real expert, passionate about his job and runs his company in such a way that all the staff have a sense of belonging and commitment in their profession.. We also visited his office on our last day, on the way to the airport. He has always been quick in responding the dozens of mails, ready to amend the itinerary to adjust it according to our requests.
The rsult was a perfectly designed 9 day/8 night private safari just for the two of us through Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti (including the extreme north, an area interested by the great migration between July and September) and Tarangire.
Once we arrived the service was amazing from start to finish everything was carefully planned. Our Guide, Saidi, has been more than a guide, a baby sitter, a professor, a great driver, attentive to our needs (the car was perfectly clean every morning, after hours on dusty roads, even when we stayed in tented camps). He was incredibly knowledgeable about all the animals and their behaviour. He could spot game at incredible distance. He was extremely friendly, discrete and knew the routes just like we know the roads of the city we live in.
All the lodges and camps where exceptional, perfectly located, comfortable and cozy. We loved the luxury tented camp experience. All the camp staff made an amazing job providing excellent service in extreme locations.
We saw everything and more, uncontable species of animals, we had the chance to see two river crossings on the Mara River: breath-taking.
This is simply the best safari tour company. They just get everything right. We couldn’t hope to get anything better.
Asante sana Safari Crew Tanzania! we will definitely come back.
