Excellent tour and service - We have recently done this safari and it really was an outstanding experience.
We were unlucky at first because two times the tour was cancelled due to unfavourable weather conditions but in the end we made it, thanks also to the extraordinary flexibility and friendliness of the operator. Despite the weather and the ongoing rainy season, we managed to see most of the animals incl. several lions and a leopard.
The communication with African Pangolin Safaris was very friendly and open. Due to two cancellations, the communication was very intense and at all times the operator was responsive, reliable and forthcoming. I can really fully confirm that we were provided an outstanding service.
We chose African Pangolin Safaris in the first place for its good reviews and their rates which were competitive compared to other offerings.
The service was top-notch and can only recommend them!

An unforgettable experience - Nixon was a very good guide! He was able to answer all of our questions and we were able to see all of the possible animals. He even spotted a leopard, even though it was hiding in a tree hundreds of meters away. He wanted to make the day unforgettable for us and he definitely succeeded.
Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Great day, the car ride... - Great day, the car ride is long, so just be sure the car has A/C bc the truck exhaust in the drive is brutal

Yunus - amazing safari guide - This was our second time on an African safari. Yunus, our guide/driver was excellent. He was punctual, extremely knowledgeable, friendly, patient and an excellent driver. Yunus made sure we were able to see all the animals on our wish list.
It was an exhilarating day for us, one we will remember forever.
I highly recommend this tour and especially Yunus as the safari guide.

Once in a lifetime! - Where do I start! I was a little bit skeptical to book online as the guy in my resort selling safaris told me it was a scam, and it couldn’t possible be under $1000. I trusted my instinct and continued with it, and I haven’t looked back. From the very beginning the customer service was incredible, and we were booked in with ease. Everything ran so smoothly, we were collected on time from our hotel, and it was clearly run well at the airport too… when we arrived in Mikumi, each driver was waiting for us to arrive with our names on pieces of paper and we were soon off. I found it amazing that each safari guide asked us our favourite animals and from that endeavoured to make sure we saw them! The lunch was amazing and we saw every animal we possibly could, with amazing views!!! I feel so fortunate to have experienced this, and will be recommending this company to everyone who is looking to do a safari in Tanzania.

My first safari in Africa - This has been my first safari in an african national park and it was wonderfully exciting. Thanks to MAnsoor and African Pangolin Safaris for the perfect organisation and my special thanks to my great driver and tour guide Kapande Hassan for the outstanding companionship during the whole day including plenty of highly valuable background information.
