Best choice for Safari in Tanzania, great guide and detailed plan
There are many safari agencies in Tanzania, but I have selected Meijo based in previous reviews and very detailed plan received since the first email. At the end, it was the best choice I can do.
Routes were planned perfectly and accomodations were amazing. But what makes a trip unforgettable is people and our guide Andrea lead us in this magic adventure. He was able to see animals where I can also see grass and we were able to see a very high number of wild animals closely. Drive was completely safe and we received all explanations needed. I totally recommend both Meijo agency and Andrea!

Great!
I recently returned from a safari, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we arrived, the experience was seamless and immersive.
The early morning drives were particularly rewarding, offering the best opportunities to see a variety of wildlife at their most active. We encountered a range of animals, including lions, elephants, and giraffes, all observed in their natural habitats.
Accommodations were comfortable and thoughtfully designed, blending well with the natural surroundings. The lodges provided excellent service and a cozy retreat after a day of exploration. Meals were delicious, featuring a mix of local and international dishes.
One highlight was the guide’s deep knowledge of the ecosystem and wildlife, which enriched every sighting with context and stories. The small group size ensured a personalized experience, allowing for ample time at each sighting and detailed discussions.
Overall, the safari was a fantastic adventure, offering both excitement and tranquility. It was a well-organized and memorable journey into the heart of nature. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience wildlife up close and enjoy an unforgettable adventure.

Sympathy and professionalism
We chose Uwanda Tours and Safaris for our stay. We were 3 families, 14 people, and we were delighted with adults and children.
The organization, the guides and the drivers were perfect. Available, organized, friendly ..... everything was perfect!
I recommend this tour operator!

Trip of a life time with Soul of Tanzania
My wife and myself went on a Safari in Tanzania in July with Soul of Tanzania for our Honeymoon .
We spent 5 nights in Tanzania and we visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was an amazing experience, the best trip we have had in our life so far.
Soul of Tanzania is definitely an impressive and fully reliable company.
Sandy, our journey designer, has been very patient, helpful and kind: she replied quickly to our hundreds of emails and she provided very good advices on how to organize the trip and which parks to visit. Thank you Sandy.
Our guide in Tanzania was Dominic. Dominic is a great guide: he was very attentive to our needs and desires all days and all time, he provided us with a lot information regarding Tanzania, its parks and animals, and he made all his best to let us enjoy the trip - and no doubt he succeded!!
In addition, the jeep used for the safari was absolutely comfortable, the food provided for lunch during the safari was delicious and the accomodations we selected with the support of Sandy were amazing.
Thank you SoT for thia amazing experience!
If we will ever organize another safari again in the future, no doubt we will go with Soul of Tanzania!!!

A very serious and professional company
I spent 1 week around Uganda parks, and NGONI organized all things perfectly! Scheduling was arranged in the better way, and accomodations were always amazing and very confortable. Our guide and driver David managed in excelent way all situations, and he was very helpful in many occasions!
During the planning of the tour, Sedrick, the Ngoni Safaris owner, was always quick to answer any questions and provide any clarifications requested.
If I will be back to Uganda, I surely will contact again NGONI!
And I surely recommend NGONI to everyone wants to explore Uganda!
I think that NGONI Safaris and its personnel are They are a guarantee of seriousness, professionalism and attention to the customer!
Thank you NGONI!

Superb Experience
We are so glad that we chose African big cat safari as our tour operator. From prompt replies to the five star service by this operator was top notch. The manager met us personally before the trip started and briefed us about the whole plan and answered all our inquiries. Our driver, Obed, was the reason our whole safari experience went great. He was very humble and respectful and by the end of our 5 day safari tour he was like a family member to us. He had put every effort to help us see the mara river crossing and big five. I would one hundred one percent recommend this tour company for making our trip to Tanzania unforgettable.

Great organization for individual tour
I came across Mwangaza Safari while organizing my Tanzania vacation. Due to Mwajabu's friendly, efficient and timely communication on WhatsApp, I trusted her with organizing of all my safari trips in Tanzania. The overall package contained pick-up in Arusha, accomodations, transfer and safari, including hot air balloon safari, guide throughout my stay in the area, as well as flights to Kigoma and visit in Gombe-Stream NP, accommodation in Kigoma and flight to Dar es Salaam. Overall an experience of 9 nights and several great moments. During the planning of the tour I was able to tell preferences and Mwajabu always included those in the tour organization, making the trip a very individual and tailor-made experience. During my stay in Tanzania, she was always in contact with me to make sure that I enjoy my stay and have a great time while visiting the country. When visiting Tanzania again, I will definitely be in contact with Mwangaza Safari again. Great service, great organization, great experience!
Nice person and somebody who truly knows what he’s doing 🤩🤩
Affordable,Fun experiences and no issue regarding the tour every thing was smooth

Awesome humans! Great 9 day multi-country safari
2 people (couple) from California, USA did a 9 day safari Kenya & Tanzania. Abongo was the very best helping us plan and manage every step of the way! We booked nearly a year ahead for mid-August travel. Was scary sending $ to a stranger overseas but felt confident & he answered all questions timely and crafted our dream safari! Super communicative throughout. Abongo & our guides spoke excellent English and understood us well. Everyone we met from Silver Spark spoke like 3-4 languages! Glad we got to meet Abongo in Nairobi & again at the border crossing. Very friendly & knowledgeable guy. He really helped make our border crossing quick & easy. Our safari was amazing! John (Jenga) our driver in Kenya was awesome. Toyota van was perfect & comfy. John was knowledgeable, patient, kind, helpful, patient, and funny. Very happy guy. Vehicle breakdowns on East Africa roads are common so John asked us if it was ok to rescue people a few times. You may have a private safari but expect the possibly helping others transport people or gear. The guides look out for each other cuz you never know when you’ll need help. The roads destroy ALL vehicles. In Kenya, we had a vehicle issue but luckily got fixed quickly & stayed on schedule. The roads out to and in the national parks are bad! But our driver made us feel confident. Then, Babu, our driver in Tanzania was the best!! Land cruisers only in Tanzania. It was cool to experience both types of vehicles. We were sad to leave Jenga but Babu was amazing as well! Felt sad to leave our friends at the end.
If you come up with a dream itinerary, ask Abongo for an ETA between places because the journey btwn parks is long and roads are sketchy & rough. Wish I had known to ask this info. I assumed roads would be bad but way underestimated. The time btwn parks is good for editing photos and napping, however :) It would be good to advise guests of approximate travel times. We chose mid-range accommodations with a mix of camp and lodges. All the places we stayed at were pleasant, some were excellent! We learned that Abongo w/Silver Spark does all the comms and planning in Kenya and they partner with Nyangulo Safaris in Tanzania where Soombe does all the planning. We met Soombe upon arrival & departure. Together, Abongo and Soombe make a great team and worked things out for us to have an amazing 9 days!! Thank you both. Things to know for ANY safari if this is your first: there is no “luxury” driving safari bc these roads are rough & destroy ALL cars ALL safari companies. We had car issues in both countries and saw countless cars broke down on the side of the road. You’ll need to be patient at park entries & in case of vehicle issues. Now we understand why safaris aren’t cheap. Vehicle maintenance in East Africa is a beast! The roads are dusty & bumpy! Don’t expect cold beverages on 9-12 hour road trips but you’ll get used to warm drinking water & Coca Cola. Also, if you end your trip with Zanzibar, be sure to arrive at the airport 2 hours before. We almost missed our flight, but again, Soombe helped with negotiating & begging on our behalf. Tip your guides well; they work HARD and make the journey great. We tipped more than the minimum and were generous to wait staff at lodges too. Silver Spark & Nyangulo are the best!!! We cannot say enough good things about these guys. Thank you, team!!! Asanti sana 🫶🏽 five stars? Hakuna Matata

Friendly Safari
Good organization and very good human beings! Friendly people helpful, awesome safari. For my standards accomodations were a little bit low level, but was my first time in equatorial Africa, so I learned how the life is there.
I will go for another experience for sure
