We just arrived home from a amazing 14 day holiday visiting several wildlife parks of Tanzania and in the end spending relaxing days in Zanzibar.
After we made the initial enquiry Peniel got in touch with us and fulfilled all our special wishes. All questions were fully and quickly answered via e-mail, and even when we arrived several hours early in Arusha, he managed to pick us up at the airport together with our driver-guide. We just sent a short message from Daressalam and he organized everything else.
We spent 7 days of wonderful safari on our own with John, our perfect driver and tour guide . The roads are sometimes very rough but with John we felt save all the time. The national parks we visited (Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire) are really fantastic and John presented to us so many more animals than the big five.
All the accomodation at the lodges was wonderful, good food and we particularly enjoyed the Tarangire Roika Tented Lodge.
We have no hesitation in recommending the safari operator to other travellers...

I cannot praise the tour operator enough. After I made the initial enquiry on your site Peniel got in touch with me on a timely basis. Although I did receive answers to my enquiries from the other tour companies they were by far the most efficient and offered the best value for money.
All my questions were answered and Peniel told me things I never thought to ask. At our request they added on a few days in Zanzibar after the safari and that to was excellent.
Peniel was in Arusha to meet us when we arrived at the hotel and he explained everything we needed to know. He came to see us again when we got back from the safari to make sure everything went well and to explain the Zanzibar portion of the trip.
Our guide was also outstanding. During the entire safari his eyes were constantly on the landscaping looking for game for us to view. We saw all of the big five up close. We even saw 4 black rhinos thanks to Anton, and I understand they are hard to see. The safari that they offer is 30% cheaper than other tour companies. I was a little concerned that we may get a cut rate safari but that was not the case. The customer service, accommodation, food and our guide was first rate. All of us have no hesitation in recommending this tour operator.

We have just completed the most amazing holiday in Tanzania. The tour operator was fantastic and I would highly recommend them to any travellers to this area.
Peniel did an excellent job of booking all we required and spending time greeting us and making sure eveything was OK. Our driver guide for our safari Apollo was exceptional. He knew so much about the area and the animals and we saw everything! They offer you a very individualised trip suited to your needs and without having to join a group of strangers.As a small local company they value their clients and we were made to feel special.All the accomodation at the lodges was wonderful and we particularly enjoyed the small Manyara Octagon Lodge unique and friendly with excellent home cooked food.

I am pleased to report we were very happy with the tour operator. THEY were very courteous and accommodated our requests throughout the booking process.
Once on the ground, we had a sensational time and were delighted with arrangements. Our safari guide was knowledgeable and terrific at spotting wildlife. Their representative in Zanzibar was very helpful.
I would not hesitate to recommend them. I would, however recommend Tanzania does something about the state of the road to Lake Victoria - its appalling!

We thought our holiday was unbelievable, awesome, wonderful, fantastic, out of this world!
The tour operator was brilliant, organised, courteous, flexible, they made sure everything passed off without a hitch.
Huruma, our safari guide, was awesome, we loved him, he made sure we had a fantastic safari, and did his best to ensure we saw all the big 5 (and the other 3 to make the big 8) and we did!!! We also saw a Cheetah hunt and kill! WOW.

Firstly, our emails were answered very promptly and with the relevant info - great to have good communications with the company you are dealing with.
We just loved the accommodation suggestions. Apollo our driver/guide was a mine of information about Tanzania and the animals. He was especially good at presenting us with a dust-free, clean car each morning and a happy smile.
Tanzania has a lot to offer and is a very wild and beautiful country (reminded us very much of Australia) which one day, hopefully we can return to for another safari trip. We would not hesitate to use this operator again.
We truly did have a great time and the experience was just fantastic - would very much love to repeat it.

I was delighted with our safari in Tanzania and beach holiday on Zanzibar. I had done a lot of research on the web and Mwanaid sorted out all of our requirements quickly and efficiently, even booking the hotel and room that I wanted in Stonetown.
The Safari lodges were fabulous and I can recommend the Beach Resort in Zanzibar if you want a great beach, room and good food. Its quiet, more of a romantic couples place.

We enjoyed our safari and found it to be everything we had hoped for. The guide, Fabian, was excellent and was willing to find answers to questions that we asked and he was uncertain.
The lodges we great and I can't think of a thing that I would not do. We found most of the auxiliary staff to be accommodating and friendly.
The animals we saw were amazing as is the country of Tanzania. From the jungle to the plains to the sea there are few words that can describe the adventure, but one word will have to do, marvelous.
The operator lived up to their name. Thank you. Brenda Allen

We were and still are really enthusiastic about our holiday in Tanzania and Zanzibar and we want to post our good experiences.
First of all, the co-operation with this operator in Arusha and the services offered by them were really very, very good. Everything - and I mean everything - was really perfectly organized and worked out 100% well!
- Reception at Nairobi airport, transfer to hotel and to Arusha on the next day
- 8 days of wonderful safari on our own with Huruma, our perfect driver, tour guide and who became our friend during these days. The national parks we visited (Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire) are really fantastic and Huruma presented to us so many animals and unforgettable impressions of pure Africa!
- the lodges chosen by us and/or recommended are very nice with perfect service, nice rooms/tents and good food.
- the flight to Zanzibar and the hotel in Stowntown were perfect. The local agent - a partner of this operator - perfectly organized all transfers and hotel check-ins in Zanzibar and we had very relaxing days at the Resort.
We would like to express our thanks to the operator and all their partners. Due to their engagement we spent a fantastic 2,5 weeks vacation in a very nice country. The combination of safari in perhaps Africa's most impressive national parks and the impressions of the spice island Zanzibar is a must and can only be recommended.
If you make your arrangements with them you are really well off!
