Reviews
Personalize adventure with Saga Expedition
My experience with Saga Expedition was truly good. What stood out the most was their flexibility and willingness to tailor the itinerary to make our trip even more meaningful. A special thank you to Ernest for adjusting the original plan, what was supposed to be a bush walk turned into an incredible visit to a Maasai village, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our journey.
One day was dedicated to a full safari experience, where we got to enjoy the beauty of wildlife up close, and another day was a shorter, more intimate (about two hours) in the Maasai village. That time felt authentic, personal, and culturally enriching.
Also, as a solo traveler, it can be challenging to find a safari at a reasonable price, but Saga Expedition offered a great value without compromising the experience.
The entire experience felt well-organized yet flexible, allowing me to truly enjoy each moment without feeling rushed. If you’re looking for a company that listens, adapts, and creates memorable, meaningful experiences, I highly recommend Saga Expedition.

Very good experience
The organization of this experience was very good, although not perfect. Omar picked us up from our hotel and took us to the Dar es Salaam station, where we boarded the train to Morogoro. The only downside was having to wait one hour at the station, when I would have preferred to rest a little longer. In addition, we were not informed about the strict prohibition on bringing food and drinks onto the train, so we were forced to leave the groceries we had specifically bought for the trip at the station due to this lack of information. Had we known, we would have purchased what we needed inside the station instead.
First suggestion for Ernest: inform customers in advance about these restrictions.
Upon arrival in Morogoro, we were picked up by Evance very kind and helpful. He took us for breakfast and introduced us to our guide, Azaria, who then accompanied us on the hiking experience in the Uluguru Mountains. We walked about 5 km to reach the beautiful waterfalls. It is highly recommended to start early, both to avoid crowds at the waterfalls and to avoid extreme heat during the hike.
Second suggestion for Ernest: consider equipping the company, as others do, with motorcycles to transport those who are not willing or able to do the hike on foot.
Azaria is unquestionably number one—he was truly phenomenal!
After returning to Morogoro, we all had lunch together and were then taken to Mikumi, to Vamos Hotel. Unfortunately, the management there was very poor and I absolutely do not recommend it. The staff was not very helpful and did not smile much. Fortunately, the next day we were moved to Chambo Villa, where we were welcomed exactly as we had hoped—by very friendly, helpful, smiling, and extremely kind women.
Third suggestion for Ernest: since the two hotels belong to the same property and are very close to each other, it would have been greatly appreciated if someone had offered to help carry the luggage, especially considering the inconvenience of changing hotels during our short two-night stay in Mikumi.
The Maasai experience, accompanied by Ernest, was pleasant but nothing special. Honestly, it felt a bit staged, but we’ll leave it at that. Ernest is a very capable and curious young man; he is well prepared and does his job very well, I’m sure this review will help him out a lot to improve his company even more.
Finally, safari day arrived! Wake-up call at 6:00 a.m. and off to Mikumi National Park. Unfortunately, we were not able to see all the animals we had hoped for, partly due to bad weather. The jeep was already completely wet in the morning, which was unpleasant for those who don’t like sitting on wet seats and then feeling cold during the tour.
Fourth suggestion for Ernest: provide rain jackets or blankets for guests in situations like this.
Aside from these points, everything else was fantastic! I highly recommend this experience to everyone, and above all, I strongly recommend trusting Saga Expedition!

Safari in Mikumi
My safari in Mikumi was a fantastic experience. The park is full of wildlife, and I was lucky to see elephants, giraffes, lions, and more. What made the trip truly special was our driver – professional, safe, and very knowledgeable. He spotted animals I would have missed, shared interesting facts, and made the whole journey enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Wonderful adventure!
The expedition was great in every way: the arrival, the welcome. We saw elephants, zebras, lions, and much more. Luckily, the weather was also pleasant. Later, when we stopped for lunch, we were also very satisfied with the food (a variety of meat and vegetarian options). The expedition guides were friendly throughout and gave good explanations of each animal.
We had a wonderful and unique experience. Thank you.

Incredible and unforgettable
A unique, exceptional, and atypical experience! The organization was perfect, and my wife and I want to thank them! The logistics, the accommodation, the food, the friendliness of the staff—everything was perfect from beginning to end! We were in Zanzibar and had to get to Mikumi! It was quite a journey, but at the end of this trip, we have a thousand memories! Thank you so much; one word says Hakuna Matata, and thank you for everything! We wholeheartedly recommend this tour! Excellent value for money 🙏🏻

Exceptional, knowledgeable, and caring—made our safari seamless, stress-free, unforgettable.
Our safari was absolutely incredible from start to finish. We saw an amazing variety of wildlife, including lions, crocodiles, hippos, zebras, giraffes, monkeys, and so many more it felt like something out of a documentary. Our day was perfectly organized, and our guide shared fascinating insights while making sure we didn’t miss any highlights. A special mention to our driver as well, who was fantastic throughout the trip always punctual, friendly, and made us feel safe and comfortable on the journey. The whole experience exceeded our expectations and gave us memories we will cherish forever. :)
