Ruaha national park will give you a chance to discover the most areas of southern circuit. The tour gives a chance to see rift valley and nice landscape of southern circuit. The home of herds of dainty sable antelope, formidable buffaloes and an estimated 10,000 individual elephants, not to mention elusive cheetahs, a cacophonous mix of bird life and marauding packs of African wild dogs besides. But wildlife isn’t this park’s only pull; the loyal following of safari goers it now commands is also due to its wondrous back country, which oscillates between lush riparian wetlands on the edge of the Mzombe and Mwagusi Rivers, sun-caked Savannah and rising highland ridges—all peppered with clusters of looming baobabs and spiraling palms.

Inclusions: Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch, Lunch, National Park fees

In the late 1950s, amid a dramatic landscape of eroded sandstone pillars, archaeologists unearthed one of the most significant Stone Age finds ever identified. Tools found at the site – hammerstones, axeheads, flints and scrapers – are estimated to be between 60,000 and 100,000 years old. There’s a museum with small, well-captioned displays highlighting some of the discoveries. Isimila is signposted off the Mbeya road to the left, about 21km southwest of Iringa.

What a fabulous trip! I booked this safari for my birthday at the suggestion of a friend and was well-rewarded for my decision to go with Wild Gaze. Ernest Lugala knows his stuff. He was courteous and professional and took care of the smallest details. We had to delay the start of the trip by two days, but he was able to rearrange the schedule and rebook our accomodations so that I still got to do everything on the original itinerary. Then I decided to add a hot-air balloon ride over the Serengeti, and he negotiated a discount for me. He even arranged to have a birthday celebration for me with a delicious dinner and cake in the bush. It was the most memorable birthday of my life. I would have no hesitation booking another safari with him when the time comes.

Northern circuit for a week and Zanzibar for a week. Despite having limited reviews, I decided to go for Raja Tours since it was very attractively priced and I was impressed by their quick response and helpful attitude on emails. While we were on the trip, the quality was exactly as promised - from our guide to hotels to food! I would highly recommend them if you're planning to visit Tanzania and / or Zanzibar.

Not difficult trekking with nice views. Near the waterfall there is a views point with a panorama of the city of Morogoro - deserving every drop of sweat;) I did my trip with a guide named Evance. Nice day spent in good company. Nice and smiling dude with whom you can have a good conversation. Also caring and with knowledge. I recommend!

After shopping around the countless Safari Offices in Iringa I found Rubaba to offer the best deal compared to the competition. Entrance fees, 3 meals per day, water, accomodation and transport were all included in the price. I just had to pay for the optional drinks in the restaurants. The guide Goodluck picked me up from my place in Iringa with a Landcruiser in good condition. Together we had 7 game drives in Ruaha and saw every big animal I wanted to see except from the leopard. We stopped while beeing in close proximity to the animals and it was my call on how long we stayed and observed them. He told me many facts about the mammals and also about many of the different bird species we came across. Emima, the owner of Rubaba, borrowed me her Nikon camera with a zoom lense so I was able to take great pictures. I stayed in a Bungalow in the Park (Bandas) that was very secure yet open, so I heard and saw a few hippos and elefants at night. On the way back to Iringa we stopped in Kalenga for a quick visit of the Mkwawa grave without any additional costs (except the Entrance fee for the muesum).

I had a really great trip to Mikumi National Park with Halifa. He’s a very friendly guide and taught me a lot about the animals and the nature of Tanzania. He knew where all the different animals were and showed me around the park. We saw a lot of elephants, giraffes, impalas, zebras, wildebeasts, buffalos, hippos and even a pack of lions! I would definitely recommend going on a game drive with Tail Spotter Safari! It was an experience I’ll never forget.

We booked a day tour with African Pangolin Safaris. They were very responsive and organized a tour for us only one day ahead of our inquiry. It was a wonderful experience! Our tour guide and driver was Yunus. He is very knowledgeable of both animals and plants and the Mikumi Park and area in general. The road and traffic from Dar Es Salaam to Mikumi is very busy and crowded and the travel takes some time and effort - Yunus also did that part like a pro, always calm and careful. I wholeheartedly recommend African Pangolin Safaris, great agency and great people!
