- sandra2905200000Dreaming Safariwe had booked a 3 day safari and were picked up from our hostel on time. Our guide Yunus introduced himself, we spent the next 3 days with him, he drove us to the national park and did the game drive with us. after a long drive we arrived at our bungalow accommodation in the middle of the national park. first we were greeted by the monkeys and two warthogs, which stood right in the garden and ran around freely. During the night a ranger was on site for our safety. We can wholeheartedly recommend African pangolin safari. we were two girls and felt comfortable the entire time. we were completely alone with the game drives and were able to direct all our wishes to Yunus, who really was a top-class guide. he had a lot of knowledge about the animals, was very nice and has a lot of know-how. so we were able to spot a few animals completely alone, such as a large family of lions. and most importantly it was all very ethical, the engines were turned off for the animals so as not to disturb them and they were not harassed. Big thanks to Yunus and african pangolin safaris for making our dream come true to see the big 5 and much more (also a 🐆). we would always come back.
- lilli_winterlich00Mikumi Trip with YunusWe have a great time at Mikumi NP. Our guide Yunus was the best. We saw many animals. Yunus had the ability to find the animals from 400m away. It was a great time.
- 952suk00Great experience in Ruaha NPGreat value for price. Right from the beginning the communication was great with Mansoor Mohamed, friendly but also professional. We needed to make adjustments to our tour dates short before our trip, which he kindly arranged without any problems. Our tour guide Serafino was amazing. His English was great and he had a lot to tell about the environment and animals all throughout our journey. In the beginning of our safari there was a problem with our car but he found creative ways to work around it and we still got the full safari experience we payed for. Our meals were always at a restaurant in the campsite, delicious and big portions. The bandas and the restaurant are located right next to the Great Ruaha River, so you get to observe many animals from there already. During our safari we saw giraffes, elephants, zebras, buffaloes, crocodiles, hippos, dikdiks, antilopes, warthogs, eagles, a big pride of lions and a leopard. I did see more animals in total in Serengeti-Ngorongoro, but we preferred to come to Ruaha at this time of the year since the national parks in the North get very crowded and in the end in Ruaha we never felt like it was crowded, was most of the time the only car next to the animals and got to see some of the animals a lot closer than I did in the North. To me this was a perfect honest safari experience. I have two other experiences of safaris in different locations in Tanzania, and this was the most pleasant experience I had with a company. Serafino took great care of us, even helped us with getting bus tickets in Iringa and Baobab seeds from the market. I would highly recommend working with this company!
- yordac00A trip to rememberWe had a very good time this safari! We had an amazing guide who was interacting with us and the environment. He could tell a lot of things about the different species of animals, plants and other cultural facts! I would definitely go again to the north side with the same guide: Mansoor. Thank you so much for making this a trip to remember for the rest of my life!
- frankcR6186UM00Trip of a lifetime!Our guide (Mansoor) was great! He knew a lot about all the animals and the surroundings. He aranged all the accommodations and excursions. He knew to find the animals in the parks. We went to Mikumi, Ruaha and Nyerere. The accommodations were standard which was fine. We combined all the parks and we had to spend a lot of time in the car but there was always something to see. And Mansoor is een excellent driver 😁
- Yorda C00Incredible safari ❤️We had the trip of a lifetime! Great communication when booking and before the trip. Even when we had to postpone our trip due to COVID they remembered our initial booking. Very reliable. The trip (11 days southern circuit) itself was amazing. Mansoor is a great guide, knows so much about all the animals, culture and nature. He is kind, patient and very helpful. Thank you Mansoor for making our trip unforgettable. We hope to see you next time (for the northern circuit)
- G7979UAcs00Wonderful experienceWe have spent 3 wonderful days in Serengeti NP, saw wonderful animals and could hear them as we slept in the tent on the public camping site. Our tour guide and personal cook were very kind and we had much fun. Asante sana!
- 162wiebek00Amazing Serengeti SafariWe’ve had a once in a lifetime Safari experience with our guide Steve. Steve is amazing and knows the Serengeti and other parks like his trouser pocket! The flexibility and kindness of the Pangolin personnel was also very good.
- John R00excellent 3-day safari from African PangolinWe took the 3-day 2-night Mikumi/Udzungwa tour from African Pangolin. We were originally booked for this tour in May 2020, but all travel fell apart with the coronavirus, and we had to cancel. Mansoor from Pangolin was great with communication leading up to our 2020 ticket, and then also when the trip got cancelled. We stayed in touch, and when 2023 gave the green light for the tour, we booked again with Pangolin and were very glad to finally be able to make the safari. Mansoor is professional, prompt, and personal in setting up the experience. Highest recommendation. Our driver/guide for the safari and trekking adventure was Zakaria. He speaks English very well, is a great driver, and has very deep knowledge of biology, particularly of the large animals, birds, and plants. Zakaria is a personable guy who made for great company for three days. The Land Cruiser we rode in is a very tough vehicle that could handle all the road conditions. Everything was very safe. The safari itself was a fantastic experience. It was the late stage of the rainy season, but we were fortunate that we didn't have rain. The park was almost empty of people, and just full of the big animals. They were everywhere; very little time passed between encounters. I suppose we were quite lucky, but the adventure was everything we could expect and more. Many, many giraffes and zebras, sometimes together. Impala, eland, water buffalo, warthogs, baboons, wildebeest, jackals, crocodile, monkeys, hippopotamus, many birds. Two lions together, right next to our vehicle, that we observed for a long time. Close-range elephants. Amazing looks from the Land Cruiser, with plenty of time for observation. The hike up to the falls in Udzungwa NP the next day was very nice, if a little challenging on the way up. It's a long drive to and from the parks, so we had a chance to see a lot of village life in rural Tanzania that one does not see in Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar City. The mid-range accommodations were quite comfortable, and the meals were very good. Safaris are quite expensive, but this 3-day expedition was good value for the money. Great driver/guide, great service, reliable company.
- Q1306IQrachelr00olapexpeditionsI had an amazing trip with olap expeditions who are in Tanzania we had a challenge and how they brought fun into it was amazing I recommend them for a safari trip. just find them on instagram and come thank me later.
- lccamp00Yunus - amazing safari guideThis was our second time on an African safari. Yunus, our guide/driver was excellent. He was punctual, extremely knowledgeable, friendly, patient and an excellent driver. Yunus made sure we were able to see all the animals on our wish list. It was an exhilarating day for us, one we will remember forever. I highly recommend this tour and especially Yunus as the safari guide. Laura and Doug Moore
- L758800Excellent company for a complete safari experienceWe did a 6-day safari with African Pangolin Safaris and our experience was excellent. Our guide Yunus took great care of us and did his best to show the best parts of the park, at the best time of the day. A full week safari is a good way to enjoy the country and its different parks. Our trip included Mikumi, Nyegere and Udzungwa with a mix of game drive, boat safari and walks. Well organised, we had nothing to think about. Definitely recommend.
- Clamelas00The best experience ever.NOT TO BE MISSED. Wow this really is the trip of a lifetime. My friend and I got back from Tanzania early February and we would recommend this to anyone if you like the outdoors and wild animals. Honestly this is not to be missed. Of course we saw the big 5, because of the fantastic pangolin guides. Our guide Mansoor was tremendous; punctual, receptive, organised, knowledgeable, patient, enthusiastic and extremely thoughtful. This was my second trip to Tanzania having last done the southern circuit with Mansoor and Pangolin safaris previously. Thank you SO much to Pangolin safaris and most of all Mansoor. Our trip was perfect.
- 791razvanr00Safari in Mikumi National ParkWe think this is the experience you can’t miss in Tanzania. The road is long by car from dar es Salaam but this gives you the opportunity to see a bit of how the locals live and work. Our driver, Yunus, answered all our questions and with his experience helped us to see almost all the animals including the lions, a leopard, some crocodiles and hippos. We felt safe with him on the road and also near the animals.
- mansoorm22200Best Moment in Mikumi NPI travel with my family this January visiting 2 different parks. Mikumi NP and Udzungwa Mountain NP. The arrangements was amazing. Staying in Mikumi NP Banda which is located inside the park was a nice experience especially when we saw different wild animals like giraffes 🦒,. Elephants 🐘, Zebras 🦓, monkeys 🐒 walking around our Banda. This is the best moments for my family to remember. Many thanks to African Pangolin Safaris team for arranging this safari for us. We highly recommend this company for your safari in Tanzania.

More wild than the northern parks, we loved our 3-day experience with Yunus in the Selous Game Reserve
Nothing to say, a perfect organization, we just had to let ourselves be carried away.
A will to satisfy us by all means.
We enjoyed this safari 100% and recommend it!

Last year we made one of the most, maybe the most amazing experience in our life! We have seen so much wilderness, so much pure nature and so many animals, that we can not believe even today. On this way we would like to thank our driver and guide Mansoor for our wonderful trip to and through mikumi national park and the awesome selous. We had a very nice time, because we had a very experienced and professional scout. The car was comfortable, even on roads "with african massage for free". So we can and will recommend this organizer without any ifs or buts.

I highly recommend African Pangolin Safaris! My daughter, dear friend and I had an amazing trip in July 2018. We visited Selous Game Reserve and Ruaha National Park, among other places. Our wonderful guide, and the company owner, Mansoor, arranged every detail perfectly. We enjoyed and photographed so many beautiful animals and so many of them up close and personal. Some of my favorites were elephants, giraffes, a lion with a kill (so close we could hear the bones snapping), zebra, cheetah, leopard, wild dog, hyena, crocodile, hippopotamus and more. Monsoor was the most attentive guide! We felt very safe during the entire trip. Mansoor is extremely trustworthy and kind. When on safari, you spend a lot of time with your guide, so it's important that you feel comfortable. Monsoor answered all of our many questions about the animals, people and culture of Tanzania. He taught us Swahili phrases. We really enjoyed our time with him. Monsoor has a very clean, comfortable and reliable safari vehicle. The top opens so you can stand and have a great view of the animals and landscape. The accommodations were perfect for our needs, budget and desired level of adventure. In both Selous and Ruaha we enjoyed staying at accommodations inside the park. It was clean and comfortable with many wildlife nearby. Monsoor also arranged all of the food and accommodated our special requests. We ate lunch during the game drive, surrounded by animals and enjoying the scenery. Most importantly, Monsoor shared the beauty of his country and it's people with us. It was so much more than just going on Safari. We took home a little piece of Tanzania in our hearts. Book your safari with African Pangolin Safaris. You will have a fantastic trip and memories that will last a lifetime!! I recommend including the walking safari and the boat safari if available. Be sure to bring a good camera and prepare to have a great time.

Sincerely! I don’t know where to begin, but all I can say from the pick up at the airport. It was promising that it would be a memorable adventure . Wasn’t what I and my fiancé expected on our way to Tanzania, we were beautifully welcomed at the airport and well dropped at the hotel.
During our road trip we had a lot of conversation with our tour guide about the beautiful TANZANIA 🇹🇿, culture, traditions and way of life was pretty interesting. We were exited for the coming since we had so much just during the trip to the park.
During our safari at the SELOUS ( THE NYERERE NATION PARK), we saw so much that blew our thoughts and energy into an excitement and joy. That wasn’t the fact but the guidance and explanations from our guide was more than we expected. Beautiful handled and well taken care of.
Shortly I can say it was amazing, I and my fiancé had a great time during our safari trip. We loved the food, hotel and tour guide company. Truly amazing, it was worth the time and money spent fir our visit.
We would love to visit Tanzania again. And more over I would recommend AFRICAN PANGOLIN SAFARIS. They are truly amazing on their work.
