Fantastic safari tour - 4 days Mikumi + Udzungwa
We decided to do a 4 day safari in Mikumi NP and trekking in Udzungwa mountains. Already the communication with Mr Mansoor was great, he always replied very fast and changed some things in the itinerary upon my request without any problem. I had some troubles with paying the deposit (technical issues) but Mansoor was very understanding and was trying to help as he could. Our guide and driver was Tony who was very attentive, always punctual, kind and knowledgeable. And he is also a very good driver! We managed to see so many animals during our safari, it was a fantastic experience! The sunset in the African savanna is really something special :) The accommodation and food was also good, we have nothing to complain about. The trekking in Udzungwa mountains was very nice! We went with a different guide from the park, he was very knowledgeable about the different plants and animals and we also managed to see some monkeys :) the nature over there is beautiful! I definitely recommend African Pangolin Safaris and also Mikumi NP very much!! Thank you for everything :)

Amazing safari with the best guide yunus!
We decided to do a 3 day Safari in Mikumi national park. Our driver was Yunus, a great guide. He is really kind and cares about your needs and wishes. We had a lot of fun and have seen many animals, even really close because he took the time if we spotted animal and he explained a lot about the animals and their behaviour and everything. All in all its worth every penny. Th place where we stayed was beautiful as well. They served delicious food and everyone had its own bungalow. The accommodation even had a large swimmingpool. You are going to enjoy if you book the tour.

We had a really good experience! Everything was well organized, reliable, and tailored to our wishes
We spent three days on safari in Mikumi National Park with Mansoor as our guide, and it was an experience we’ll always remember. He picked us up in Dar es Salaam and drove us to Mikumi, his car was excellent and perfectly suited for the safari.
Mansoor is patient, friendly, knowledgeable, but also very reliable. He listened carefully and made sure to accommodate every wish we had, which made us feel truly cared for.
I would recommend Mansoor to anyone looking for a warm, trustworthy guide and a memorable safari in Mikumi.

CIRCLE OF LIFE
We had such an amazing experience with African Pangolin Safaris! As a group of female students, we really appreciated how safe and comfortable we felt during the whole trip. We compared many safari prices before booking, and this was honestly one of the fairest and most affordable options we found. The food was good, the accommodation was nice, and the entire day was exciting from start to finish. We saw so many animals — even lions mating!
A special thank you to our guide Mansoor. He helped us arrange our bus tickets for the next journey, waited with us, and made us feel very safe and cared for the whole time. We truly hope our paths cross again someday ❤️

Don't look any further, you have found the best ...
After browsing sites like safaribookings.com, we found a program from African Pangolin Safaris that appealed to us, well-filled with what we wanted to see, and affordable within our budget. At our request, Mansoor further customized the program with an extra safari day in each of the three National Parks: Mikumi, Ruaha, and Nyerere (Selous). He also arranged a hotel stay in the city upon our late-evening arrival and an extra day in a beach hotel before our return flight, as well as all transfers. Furthermore, due to an announced strike at Amsterdam Airport, we arrived in Dar es Salaam a day early, so we left for Mikumi a day early for an extra day of safari. Mansoor arranged everything. Mansoor, who also accompanied us throughout the tour, and Ismael, who arranged the transfers to and from the airport, are friendly, polite, attentive, punctual, and careful drivers. We always felt safe, both in the hustle and bustle of the city and on the busy main road and unpaved dirt roads. The program was well-structured. The distances are what they are, but were kept short by overnight stays in interesting places like Iringa and MoroGoro. Thanks to Mansoor, we also visited places you wouldn't normally visit as a tourist: in a restaurant in town, in a village for lunch, or buying bananas or water at a roadside stand. Free drinking water was plentiful in the cooler in the vehicle, which had a pop-up roof for the game drives in the parks. Except for the dinners in Iringa and MoroGoro, all meals were included. There was plenty of choice, usually soup, chicken, beef, fish, pasta, potatoes, rice, and melon, pineapple, or cake for dessert. Lunches were sometimes packed, sometimes in restaurants. It's definitely worth visiting all three parks in the Southern Circuit, as each is completely different. What particularly appealed to us after visiting the northern parks 24 years ago was that the southern parks are much less crowded. The guides almost all know each other and exchange information about what they've seen when they cross paths, but even without that, Mansoor amazed us with sightings we would never have been able to make on our own. We saw a huge number of animals of various species, certainly thanks to Mansoor's more than 15 years of experience as a guide. He knows every path in the parks like the back of his hand and knows where the animals like to be at certain times. We opted for basic to mid-range accommodation and were very pleased to be able to stay close to, or even in the midst of, nature in many places. We feel like we've made a new friend in Mansoor and expect to return to Tanzania in the relatively short term to explore the even more unknown parks in the western circuit. Returning to Tanzania for a next safari, will definitely be again with Mansoor and African Pangolin Safaris.

Southern Tanzania: Wild, Private, Unforgettable.
We recently spent a week exploring Tanzania's stunning national parks: Mikumi, Ruaha, and Nyerere. The experience was truly unforgettable thanks to African Pangolin Safaris and especially our guide and driver, Yunus. From the moment we met, Yunus made us feel welcome and safe, expertly navigating the diverse landscapes and sharing his deep knowledge of Tanzania's wildlife.
Visiting Mikumi, Ruaha, and Nyerere National Parks in southern Tanzania is just as rewarding as choosing the more famous northern parks like Serengeti and Ngorongoro, maybe the landscapes were not as stunning but the advantage of fewer crowds an abundant wildlife made it a great choice.
We highly recommend booking with this safari company for an outstanding experience!
