Amazing Experience!
We had a great trip with Watu Safaris to Selous and Mikumi. The combination of the two parks made that we had a great experience and saw lots of wildlife. Excellent guide and great service by the people of Watu Safaris. An amazing experience!

Our safari to Mikumi was perfect - the wildlife was stunning and our driver, Nico was wonderful
We had a wonderful 2 day trip to Mikumi with RajaTours - we saw elephants, giraffes, wilderbeast, zebra, hippos, warthogs, baboons, birds, buffalo, lots of Impala and the highlight was seeing a leopard. Although the drive from Dar was long - we managed to see wildlife on both days and our driver Nico was great - charming, accommodating and went out of his way to look after us. We stayed at the Tan Swiss Lodge which I would highly recommend- perfect evening swim, friendly, welcoming staff and lovely food. Rajab was extremely helpful - he responded quickly to emails and made the booking really easy- even a follow up email to check we had enjoyed ourselves. COudnt have asked for more!

You must experience it because pics & videos can never capture the essence of a Tanzanian Safari
Everything was like a dream. The scenery itself is breathtaking, but with the animals, the experience becomes surreal. The animals roam the land freely, without humans getting in their way. Our accommodations were a perfect blend of luxury and camping (glamping), which gave us the feeling of early safari explorations with a touch of modern essentials. The food was locally sourced and delicious. The weather during our 5 day Safari was cool in the mornings and evenings, in the 80s (fahrenheit) during the peak of the day (we never wore shorts and wished we hadn't packed them). The air was very dry, though we did have a tiny bit of rain for about 30 minutes one afternoon. We did not know about Tarangire before, but are very grateful our booking company suggested we stop there. We thoroughly enjoyed it as well as the Serengeti and Ngorongoro.

Memorable for the right reasons
We went to Selous game reserve for 3 nights, 4 days. We stayed at hippocamp. Our experience at the game reserve was amazing, we saw lots of animals, had lots of breathtaking memories made, so many pictures to go through. Our guide Ali, was very knowledgeable about where the animals might be and about their habits. We loved every minute of it. Would definitely recommend.
Hippocamp, was basic but we knew this. The staff were lovely and the food was very good, we didn’t have a bad meal. No internet for 4days was lovely, there is no WiFi, no need to check social media,
Bush babies visited us every night and our walking safari was eventful, heart stopping and exhilarating.

Trip of a lifetime!
I can say nothing but great things about Suricata. Great equipment, food, car, cook Salim and guide Ezekiel. They are both assets to the company. We saw almost all the wildlife we hoped to, didn't manage to spot a rhino or leopard. Guess this means we just have to go back! Would definitely recommend.

Incredible experience
Our three day safari to Ngalawa camp in Selou was amazing and far exceeded our expectations. The wildlife and scenery were breathtaking and our guide ensured we saw all the animals we wanted to during our full day in the jeep, spending just the right amount of time at each place and telling us interesting facts about the animals, birds, trees and other nature. The accommodation was perfect for us and the food was really good. I cannot fault our safari as it was perfect in every way.

Great safari in the southern parks with few tourists and lots of animals!
The Southern Circuit (Selous, Mikumi, Ruaha) is really recommendable because you discover the big differencies in the behaviour of the animals in the different parks and the changing landscape on the way. The parks are not crowded at all (maybe Mikumi a little bit) and there are plenty of animals to see. Except of lions or leopards (where everyone is going directly to have a look) you will often be the only car close to the animals.
The weather is pleasant and the accomodations very nice. There are also just a few mosquitos and Tsetse-flies.
We would definitely recommend the Safari in the Southern Parks if you like more remote parks with few tourists.

Unforgettable great experience
We had a one-week safari. Our guide, Salum, was awesome: a skilled driver who knows a lot about parks, animals and local life. We enjoyed all three parks we have been to: Selous (many animals, amazing landscape, lovely campsite), Ruaha (the most untouched and particularly quite) and Mikumi (with many animals but way more turistic and overcrowded). Accommodation and meals were good though basic. Sometimes we had lunch in unforgettable places inside the parks. Food in the Selous Campsite will stay in our memory forever: the best food we had over three weeks in Tanzania thanks to Amos!

Amazing and well-scheduled
I was really satisfied about my experience with Safari Specialist.
I did appreciate the customer care from the very beginning. They gave me useful advices, not only about the safari but also with my journey in Tanzania in general. They managed to rescheduled in a very short time the trip in order to meet needs. The driver was great. A very kind guy and the accommodations was very genuine as well as clean.
At the vey end, I felt very comfortable throughout the safari.
