"We had an excellent guide and cook. Aniceth, the guide, had remarkable knowledge of the plants, animals, and local peoples and customs, and was very forthcoming in providing information to make our trip more interesting. He also gave us options to vary the safari itinerary as we went to improve our chances of seeing aspects of interest to us. Overall, an excellent safari, thanks to the guide and cook."
Amazing trip to Serengeti National Park with my partner! oved every moment. Already planning to return next year with Wonders of Creation Tours & Safaris!
"We have just returned from our trip, and we had a fantastic time. Our guide, Apollo, was very good – he took us straight to all the animals. Sometimes we couldn’t see them until he showed us. The lodges and tented lodges were very good, and we were surprised by how luxurious they were. The food was up to a very high standard, including the packed lunches. I would like to thank you for a perfect safari, and we will be using this operator again."
"This was a wonderful experience for my first time in Africa! Jane helped me customize the tour, and the accommodations were superb. Simon, the safari guide, was 'simply the best' at being at the right time and right place for game viewing and for his informative comments and knowledge of the area."
"They provided a thoroughly enjoyable safari. Although I was nervous booking and transferring money overseas, to our pleasant surprise, everything went according to plan, including the arrangement of pre- and post-safari accommodation at the Impala Hotel in Arusha. We had a comfortable vehicle, and our tent was great – a very good size and kept us dry through storms, night after night. Apollo was our guide/driver and was extremely knowledgeable and proficient. He had to do some very challenging four-wheel driving owing to a lot of rain and got us through every time without a hitch (others were not so lucky!). We saw so much wildlife right up close and personal, including the Big 5 – and he was so patient when we just wanted to spend ages watching nature at its best. Our cook, Bereggi (sorry, I have no idea how he spells it?), was excellent also, providing absolutely fabulous meals!! The two of them made a trip to remember! Overall, it was an excellent 8 days which allowed us to see the best of what Tanzania can offer on safari."
The safari was fantastic – the best holiday I’ve ever experienced. Our guide was informative and taught Swahili along the way. The food at camps was delicious.
"Southern Circuit: This eleven-day tour was most successful. The program was altered to suit us, as arranged before booking. We traveled as a couple with a driver-guide and a guide who was also the cook. We appreciated the African dishes he made. The parks were amazing, and the animals were most interesting. The roads were very rough, but the driving was handled with great care. The camping was mixed, but all accommodations were adequate. One night spent on a campsite where we were the only occupants was particularly memorable."
"Just a few thoughts about our recent safari tour. Despite the initial pricing problem, I must say that the whole tour was very enjoyable, although not cheap. Very good and professional was the tour planning and the perfect logistics with dedicated personal involvement of Mwanaid. The transit hotels in Nairobi and Arusha were good and met the expected standard. The 'Kigongori Mobile Camp' was good, and all of us enjoyed the stay. This was also due to the pleasant camp crew and their personal touch. This includes our driver, John, who proved to be very experienced in finding the animals. The category 'luxury camp' is probably a bit on the high side, but we enjoyed it very much. 'Katavi Palahala' camp was definitely more on the luxury side. Management and staff were pleasant, and together with the good driver, made our stay a success. In both camps, we had the privilege to be more or less the only guests, so all the attention was directed to us. Lupita Island Resort was a memory of colonial luxury days – beautiful, different, and enjoyable. The resort management was professional, and the accommodation was something to remember. I also like to mention the well-organized air services and their experienced pilots. The good variety of food and drinks in all camps was plenty and tasty. All in all, a safari tour to remember, especially all those people who made it a success. Our special thanks go to Mwanaid."
"The operator was thoroughly professional and helpful in every way with our pre-trip planning and the tour experience itself. Mwanaid was very easy to work with and showed a great facility with kids once we were in Tanzania. Huruma and Anton, our drivers and safari guides, were also great with the kids, and we felt very safe in the vehicles with them. Our guides during the mountain climb were patient, jovial, and clearly interested in our welfare. We had a small hitch with one part of our plan, but given that we were a group of 11 (including school-age kids) and that we had to change our schedule a month before the trip, it was impressive that everything else was flawless. Indeed, each time we needed to clarify something, the staff were quick to address the issue, even coming to the hotel to sort things out. We are grateful to the entire staff for their assistance and expertise in coordinating our trip, and we can recommend them to anyone else who would like to arrange a holiday to Tanzania."
"We had an amazing time and really loved our driver and cook. I will definitely let you know when we plan on coming back. Thanks for your help."
