      We were so lucky to find Makumi holidays!
      Thank you very much for this amazing experience! Very grateful to our gides Method and Shani and driver Freddy. They took such a great care of us for these 3 days. It was so comfortable, interesting and unforgettable! Everything was great: the ride, searching for animals in Makumi park, accommodation and food. Still can’t believe how lucky we were. Thank you again!

      Lifetime Memories
      This was after Mikumi NP last year our second safari with Mikumi Holiday Safaris and we were so excited. Already the pick-up at Kilimandscharo Airport was great. Benson and Japh our two captains were funny and charming. We stayed in beautiful hotels with delicious food and everything was organized perfectly. It felt like travelling with friends. Japh was really the best in spotting animals in the far and we were lucky to see all of the Big Five. My highlights were definitely sleeping in a tented camp with male elephant's visit in the morning, the huge elephant herd crossing the Tarangire River, big lion families with cubs really close to the car and of course the cheetahs. Animal watching was always respectful and never harassing them. So it was all about enjoying and soaking up what nature is offering to us. This was definitely not our last trip with Mikumi Holiday Safaris. We came as guests and we left as friends. Thank you for everything and take care! ❤️ Dani & Alex from Germany

      100% must visit!
      I went to Mikumi National park on a trip with my son and it was a great experience. Mikumi Holiday Safari's planned my game drive and made the whole experience very memorable. I travelled alone with my son who is 3 years old and they made sure they took great care of him. Our Driver Nasary was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, shared relevant information and engaged with my son so much. If you go to Mikumi, I would 100% recommend Mikumi Holiday Safaris and ask for Nasary!

      Excellent trip!
      My experiences with this company and especially Benson are really super! Through a contact I became aware of this safari operator. Since I am currently professionally involved in Tanzania, my time was unfortunately very limited. I told Benson my wishes and he made it possible in an uncomplicated way. I was picked up in Dar in the morning and taken by transfer to Mikumi National Park. Including lunch everything worked out fine and I arrived at the park around afternoon. There I met Benson and we started directly with a safari tour until sunset, which we watched at a great place in the park. The next day we started early in the morning and stayed the whole day (again including lunch) in the park looking for animals. Through Benson's years of experience, he always found the right spots and so he made it possible that I could marvel at all the animals (including numerous lions, elephants and giraffes, even leopards ) during my time there - even up close. In addition, he could always tell a lot about the park and about the animals and answer all questions. The accommodation at TanSwiss was also perfectly fine and the transfer back to Dar also worked without any problems. All in all I can only recommend Benson. Great guide, mega expertise and he knows the park like the back of his hand, which allowed me to discover all the animals. Organization problem-free and uncomplicated, the prices are fair in comparison. At this time of year I would also recommend to choose the time of the safaris very early in the morning and / or at sunset - here you see the most animals.

      Everything was perfect. We saw elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, hippos, crocodiles etc. It was much better than we expected. Benson was a perfect guide. Everything was precisely organized from the first minute.

      Amazing!!
      Highly recommend this trip, it was seamless and well organised picked up bang on time from our hotel and taken to the airport where we were with someone the whole time guiding us through, we were met the other side by the team and started our tour immediately. The park it’s self is beautiful surrounded by mountains, the range of animals is incredible and guide victor was both fun and so informative! We learnt so much whilst getting so close to the animals. We had a great lunch and then went back out in afternoon n saw more animals! The trip home was just as easy collected at airport door and dropped off back to our hotel. This experience will stay with us for along time the animals are incredible and the trip is enhanced by how smooth and easy the process is! Worth every penny ! Book book book!!

      It was a 10 out of 5!! Benson is a very experienced and great guide, not only interested in the animals but also the birds! An absolute must visit when in Tanzania. The respect for nature is something Benson is breathing through his lungs!

      Excellent experience on a 3-day safari with Mikumi Holiday Safaris
      I had the opportunity to go on the three-day safari from Dar es Salaam with Mikumi Holiday Safari last week and I highly, highly recommend it. Benson was super helpful and organized the trip for me at the last minute. He was really responsive when we communicated and took care of all the details – even transportation I needed outside of the 3-days of the trip. Benson was my guide during the safari and was really nice company. I learned a lot from him about the animals we saw, but also about life in Tanzania. Benson arranged for me to stay at Camp Bastian just outside the park which was a lovely spot. Charming, nice pool, good vibe to the place. As for the safari experience itself, it was amazing. I saw so many animals. We got up close to several lions and giraffes, saw herds of elephants, impalas, zebras and more. As I said, I highly recommend Mikumi Holiday Safari and dealing with Benson specifically.

      Great experience on safari with Benson. Stayed for one night and two safaris and saw plenty, including a lioness hunting zebra's. Benson was a great tour guide and full of knowledge about the animals. Was fantastic price and well worth the money, highly recommend to anyone looking to do a safari in Tanzania

      An unforgettable experience
      We spent a month in Tanzania and this safari was the highlight of the entire trip! It was the first safari I have been on, and it exceeded all of my expectations - never did I expect to see such a variety of animals up close and personal! Benson was a fantastic guide with an obvious passion for animals and he made sure we saw as much as possible, and shared some of his huge wealth of knowledge about them. I would not hesitate to go on this safari again!

    We went on a 2 night 3 day safari to Ruaha and it was amazing! We had a great game drive where we saw many animals and even found a family of lions that were hidden and difficult to spot at first. We also saw a lion from very close by, about 2 meters! We were able to learn a lot about all the different animals thanks to the good knowledge of our guide. Benson had everything planned out perfectly so we didn't need to worry about the logistics of the safari. He arranged very beautiful accommodation for us with good food and a beautiful sunrise in the morning. All of this was for a very affordable price, especially as we are still studying. Thanks Benson for making a party of our safari weekend and teaching us to sing the Swahili songs! We had great fun :)
