"Our safari was all that we could have hoped for and more, and the operator fulfilled everything they promised for our tour according to the trip plan we devised with them through email communications ahead. We felt very well taken care of the entire 10 days we were out on safari, and their careful planning was evident in how smoothly and effortlessly the safari unfolded. As for our guide, we feel incredibly fortunate to have had Huruma as our guide. He made sure that each day’s game drive was planned to give us the most time to see the animals and landscapes at their best. He also took time to discuss what options we had so that some spontaneity could be included if that was our preference. Not only is he extremely experienced and knowledgeable about the wildlife and the park habitats, but he has keen eyes for spotting animals and a keen sense of the subtle behavioral cues that indicate impending activity on the plains. Should we be fortunate enough to visit Tanzania again, we would happily use them again, and we highly recommend this company to others."

"Basically, I was satisfied with the services provided. The people were friendly, accurate in time, and sufficient in English. The program was flexible and according to our suggestions. Our excitement for Africa was marvelous, and I will definitely bring some customers back."

"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."

"Here is our feedback for our tour. We can say that everything was really perfectly organized. Through our whole tour, we were really happy and more than satisfied with the organization of our trip. It starts with perfect and really quick and helpful email contact from the beginning of our tour plans. Everything was going on right with our money and was organized as we agreed. On tour, our guide was really well-informed about nature and a perfect cook. We can really laud them and recommend everyone to do a tour with this operator. We’ve never thought that our trip would be this unforgettable as it was. Great thanks to the operator. It’s sure that we’ll contact them again for our next time in Africa."

"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."

"We had a well-organized journey to Mt. Kilimanjaro with this company. Before the trip, they gave us all the information we needed to prepare for a successful climb. They also arranged a shuttle from Nairobi Airport to Arusha, where the journey began (though the shuttle was full of people in very hot circumstances). The next morning, we started the climb. We took six days to reach Uhuru Peak and descend back to the gate. The guide was okay – not very talkative but polite and knowledgeable. The food was good, considering the conditions. After the climb, we did a four-day safari through Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Tarangire, and Arusha National Parks. We saw the Big Nine, except the leopard. The guide had good knowledge of the animals, and the chef cooked excellent meals. The lodge near Arusha was comfortable, and the staff were kind. The only disappointment was the high fee for arranging flights to Zanzibar. Overall, a very nice journey, and I recommend this company."

"We were lucky enough to travel for two weeks to Tanzania with this company. The staff were amazing – everyone from the director to the driver was friendly, helpful, and extremely efficient. The team worked with us to achieve our needs and desires, and the Southern tour was exactly what we wanted. We visited Selous Game Reserve, Kilwa Seaside, and Mikindani Bay. The accommodations were excellent, and we felt safe despite initial concerns about paying a deposit to an unknown company. We highly recommend this company for a trustworthy and rewarding experience."
