Incredibly unprofessional tour operator ruined my entire day
Daudi was incredibly unprofessional - he did not arrive on time for my agreed upon scheduled pickup nor responded to any of my subsequent texts or phone calls over the next hour. Eventually, I gave up on my dream safari and missed the scheduled 6 am train.
Only then did Daudi respond, eventually showing up at my hotel 3 hours late, after I was resigned to frantically finding a new tour operator last minute for my last free day available of my business trip.
I believe I may have been scammed - Daudi asked for all of the cash upfront the week prior (thankfully I declined), sent me WhatsApp photos of his supposed IDs promising that I could keep them as insurance (the birth dates did not match), and did not offer or return my deposit.
I would strongly encourage other travelers to select a more reliable tour operator to ensure that your dream safari comes true as scheduled!

Posted on Feb 11, 2026Dear Desmond — thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry the booking did not go as you expected and I regret your disappointment. For the record and to explain our side of the story:
• The trip was confirmed with a 30% deposit (paid via Pesapal). Our terms (sent at booking) state the deposit secures supplier bookings and is non‑refundable. We did not require full cash payment up front — payments for this booking were processed through Pesapal.
• The original plan was the 06:00 train on 31/01/2026. After that service was missed, you agreed in writing to a revised 08:09 departure. To protect the guest experience I offered to upgrade the booking to a 2‑day/1‑night stay at Mikumi (at our cost), rebooked train tickets for two people (client + company escort/guide), and confirmed park entry and accommodation.
• I personally agreed to travel from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi to escort the trip. Our vehicle and guide were on standby at Four Points by Sheraton at the agreed pickup time.
• Shortly before departure you cancelled, telling us you “didn’t trust” us and that you would use another company. Despite sending proof of the accommodation and making additional concessions beyond the original booking, you did not cooperate or propose an alternative — the last message we received was “good day.”
• Because we had already paid suppliers and rebooked services, we incurred non‑recoverable costs (train tickets and rebooking fees, park entry and permits, accommodation reservations, and operational readiness). Those costs were covered by the paid deposit in line with our booking terms.
• To verify our account, we can provide Pesapal payment confirmation, train ticket receipts (original and rebooked), park and accommodation confirmations, WhatsApp/email logs showing the agreed revised departure and the cancellation, and an operations log showing our team on standby.
We want every guest to have a great safari and take feedback seriously. If you would like to review the documentation or discuss this further, please contact me directly and I will respond promptly.
Best regards,
Daudi Gembe

a tour operator who works to do the best for you.
Asante Bibi Tours had planned a rich 3-day safari that gave us unforgettable moments. With a visit to a Masai village, we got an insight into a very special culture. We experienced a variety of wildlife up close and a hike to a waterfall in lush nature was a nice end to the trip. The guides were pleasant and knowledgeable. We could have wished for a little more and better information both before and during our stay, but all in all an exciting and well-organized trip.

Carefully, kind and great experience
A very nice, kind, small and familia Safari Company. You can trust them 100% that they do their best to offer you a wonderful safari experiences for a very fair price also for students. Everything went smooth and I really enjoyed the time with our tour guides, the lodge we were located, the food and of course the wonderful safari we did in the Nyerere National Park. The guides are taking much care and have incredible knowledge, they are the best and greatest company you can wish for. What was a bit annoying unfortunately was that the veko, it was a bit broken and on one side the window didn't go down. In addition, the walking safari and the visit to the Maasai was very interesting but did not reflect how such a presentation and "show" for white tourists also reinforces a racist image about the "African continent" in many white people's minds... I think that as a tourist you have to deal with power structures, racist systems and postcolonialism before you travel to countries like Tanzania, which of course is not the responsibility of Asante Bibi. All in all we enjoyed our trip with this company and learned a lot it was a wonderful and unforgettable time .Thank you so much Asante Bibi!

A beautiful experience
a nice experience had with Asante bibi tour.
everything was very well organized, adapted to our needs as a family with 2 small children.
even though we arrived at midnight in Dar es Salaam, Daudi waited for us to finalize the last details.
our very well trained and experienced guide Gladness made us feel good and protected, as did our driver Abele.
recommended because the price is very good and the quality is good.

Small family owned tour company specializing in private affordable tours.
Our tour was overall quite nice. We were able to customize it to our liking, and taking the train to Morogoro is highly recommended. The game drive was the highlight for sure. The guides were knowledgable and catered to what we would like and our needs very well. The only negative was a logistical mix up on the return trip that resulted in us missing the train, however Asante Bibi put us up in a nice hotel and paid for it and the extra meals until we could get back to Dar Es Salaam the next day, showing their commitment to good customer service. Overall would recommend Daudi and his family.

Great Experience with Asante Bibi Safaris and Tours!
I can't say enough good things about Asante Bibi Safaris and Tours! My business partner and I did a 2 day safari by train to Mikumi with owner, Daudi Gembe, manager, Pray, driver, Rajabu, and safari guide, Mhina. The entire journey went very smoothly and the safari was amazing. Our one night stay was at Camp Bastian, and our 2 bedroom cottage was very spacious and comfortable. The food was also good at the camp. We also visited a nearby Maasai village while there, and we highly recommend adding this to your safari. Great service, great fun! Do not hesitate to book Daudi and his staff! They go above and beyond to make your experience is a good one!
Every hope I had has been met.
Looking for a safari adventure? You’re with the right people. The rangers were knowledgeable, skilled, and genuinely friendly—always putting safety first. Excellent job!
