A very nice experience that we are not about to forget! 🦁🌿 The care was perfect, everything was fluid and very well organized from start to finish. We were able to observe the animals at close range, with incredible visibility – a magical moment! Our guide and driver were great: passionate, professional and always attentive to our comfort. Their explanations really enriched the experience. The meal was correct and well organized during the day. Important tip: if you’re going from Zanzibar to Tanzania mainland, don’t forget your passport! I highly recommend this safari to live an exceptional adventure in the heart of African nature.

Great, except for the leopards all seen big five, in the first 10 minutes seen like lions chasing Pumbas and Giraffes. The guide, Ernest and our driver Bruno could answer all questions right away. Of course it was a bumpy ride, but Bruno had everything under control at all times and steered us safely through the park. Elephants and giraffes wherever the eye looked. The lunch was varied and filling.

It was one of the most incredible experiences, to be next to wild African animals in their natural habitat. The park is very well preserved, clean and natural. The tour guides were very well informed, and very funny and professional. Thank you very much Lokushu and Yohann!
