It is a beautiful island but we forget to say some things in travel agencies, if you know you will go there you will be seduced by the kindness, the landscapes but for gastronomy, frozen is omnipresent....

When I say this safari was amazing, even that doesn’t begin to capture what I experienced. Traveling solo can be daunting, but this tour company made every ounce of worry disappear with how thorough, patient, and organized they were.
Even when I misread the information and woke up late, they never once made me feel rushed or stressed. Instead, they patiently called to make sure I was awake and ready — something I’m incredibly grateful for, because this was my birthday gift to myself, and I would’ve been devastated to miss it. They picked me up right on time, got me to the airport as quickly as possible, had my tickets prepared, and handled everything with impressive efficiency.
The flight to the mainland was its own little adventure — the pilot and attendants were friendly, the views were beautiful, and the entire experience felt special before the safari even began.
Once we arrived, our guide greeted us with kindness and professionalism. He was knowledgeable, personable, and truly committed to giving us the best possible experience. I sat in the front seat, and it felt like having the best view in the entire park. As we drove through the reserve, I was nearly brought to tears. Seeing these animals in their natural environment — close enough to reach out and almost touch — was breathtaking. I’ll never forget the moment I found myself face-to-face with a matriarch elephant, no more than 10 feet away, on my birthday. Elephants are my favorite animal in the world, and that moment felt like a personal blessing.
We saw everything you could imagine — lions, zebras, buffalo, giraffes, warthogs (Pumba himself!), and so many more. Our guide didn’t stop searching until he was confident we had seen every animal possible before our return flight. His passion and dedication made the entire day unforgettable.
Lunch was a pleasant surprise — a delicious buffet with options for everyone. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, and the scenery made it even better. At one point, a baboon came through checking people’s bags, which had everyone laughing and grabbing their cameras. It was such a fun, unexpected moment.
This experience was magical from start to finish. I truly cannot put into words how grateful I am that I chose this tour group. When I return to Tanzania — and I absolutely will — I’ll be booking with them again without hesitation.
A once-in-a-lifetime experience that I’ll cherish forever.

From start to finish this was the best experience.
Prompt taxi to the airport. Simple transfer to our plane. Enjoyable flight to the park.
What a treat was in store for us. We saw impala, warthogs, baboons, hyenas, hippos, giraffes and a magnificent elephant.
Well worth the price paid and the local information provided by the driver.
Such special memories.
