This trip is definitely worth your money. We had a great time with Mansoor and Bakari!! They were very kind and we saw everything we wanted and more. All in all it was a time to never forget and I don’t have anything bad to say. Also amazing for families. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
These guys really know their business! We had a private tour custom-made for our family of eight, with two safari cars, and it was absolutely amazing. Mansoor and Bakari took plenty of time to show us the best spots for wildlife viewing. We were lucky enough to see leopards, lions, hippos, buffaloes, elephants, zebras, giraffes, and so much more! Highly recommended if you’re looking for professional, knowledgeable guides with a great sense of humor. They made our safari truly unforgettable!
We decided a good family vacation would be to go on safari for once. We decided to book through Mansoor, which was a great choice. We were greeted warmly at the airport by him and his colleague Yunus. The next morning we departed with another guide from African Pangolin Safaris, Bakari, who was also welcoming: Hakuna Matata he always says! We visited Mikumi, Ruaha, and Udzungwa National Parks. Here we were able to see some amazing things and Mansoor and Bakari got us in touch with other great guides and people they knew. We got to hike in Udzungwa with zien beautiful views. The sightings during Game Drives in Mikumi and Ruaha were awesome, seeing even a baby leopard! Some might call it luck, but I would attribute it to the knowledge and experience of our guides. If I ever return to Tanzania for a different trip I will definitely be getting in touch with Mansoor again for my next experience!
Mansoor and Bakari are easy going, enthousiastic, funny guides who know much about all animals and plants we saw during the safaris. We saw so many elephants, zebras, impalas, giraffes, birds, hippo's, crocodiles, lions and even leopards! We will never forget this experience.
This trip was amazing, Mansoor and Bakari gave us a trip to remember. They planned everything very well. We saw everything we wanted to see and even more. They planned this trip perfectly. Mansoor and Bakari made sure we had an amazing time. They knew everything and are very funny when you talk with them. As Bakari would say: Hakuna Matata!
We had the pleasure to go on a 7 day safari and culture tour in July 2025. It was an once-in-a-lifetime experience and we can only recommend African Pangolin Safaris. Throughout the process Mansoor has been very responsive and helpful in customizing the tour to our wishes and accommodate the full family (7 persons ranging from 10 to 75 years). Our driver/guide Yunus was very knowledgeable and excellent company for our trip through the country. He not only introduced us to the fantastic wildlife, but also explained us about the history and culture of Tanzania and taught us the most basic Swahili words. Asante sana!
My experience with African Pangolin Safaris as solo traveler was great! Mansur and all the staff are very kind, lovely and helpful with everyone, with great knowledge of Safaris in Tanzania! My best experience ever!!
Great trip, the schedule was very well organized , it comprised plenty of safaris in several national parks and a stay at a Maasai village. Everything run smoothly ; our drivers where also our guides who were very experienced and eager to answer to all my questions about wild life and local habits.It was a very pleasant experience.I fully recommend this agency if you want to explore Tanzania!
Together with two friends I booked the 6 day safari tour at African Pangolin Safaris. I would highly recommend it! The organization and tour guide are friendly, professional and very thoughtful. The schedule is very varied. In a short time you will see a lot of (part of) Tanzania! I have experienced the safaris as the best. We saw a lot of animals and it was a beautiful setting. The tour guide and driver is very friendly and enthusiastic. He listens carefully to your wishes and wants you to have the best time. And it worked! Thank you African Pangolin Safaris and especially Mansoor.
I would recommend this safari tour to everyone! The guide is kind, passionate and very helpful. You see a lot and the price/quality ratio is good!
My recent safari with Mansoor was nothing short of extraordinary. Set in the heart of the Tanzanian wilderness, the journey was a mesmerizing exploration of nature's beauty. The parks were hardy visited - unlike the Serengeti or the Ngorongoro... Our knowledgeable guide ensured close encounters with the lots of wild animals, allowing us to witness lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and lots more in their natural habitat. If you're in search of an inspiring journey through the wild, this safari with African Pangolin Safari is the ideal choice.
My partner and I had the pleasure of embarking on a 6-day private safari adventure in Tanzania, exploring the incredible wildlife and landscapes of Mikumi National Park, Ruaha National Park, and Udzwunga National Park with African Pangolin Safaris. What made this experience truly exceptional was our outstanding guide, Mansoor. His expertise was great. With his ability to spot animals, we had a chance of seeing elephants, lions, giraffes, buffalos and many others. We even saw leopards on for days in a row, which is really rare. He also gave us interesting background information on the country, people, culture and wildlife in general. We drove in a nice and really new Toyota Landcruiser, the perfect safari car. Food was included and tasted good, we had a fridge in the car so there was cooled water all the time. you can book different levels of accommodation depending on your budget. we chose basic accommodation and the rooms were okay, mosquito nets were always included. The above mentioned national parks are really worth a visit as they are less crowded then the northern counterparts (Serengeti for example). We liked Ruaha NP best even though it takes a lot of time to get from A to B in Tanzania. The roads were good but there are lots of trucks on the road. Udzwunga NP is good for hiking, we did a 14km circuit- there are even possibilities of hiking for multiple days. So if you want to explore Tanzania’s wildlife and you are looking for a nice, friendly and reliable tour operator we warmly recommend to choose African Pangolin Safaris.
We were two travelers going on a six-day safari through Mikumi, Uduzungwa and Ruaha national parks. Our first time to Tanzania and we wanted to see both the animals and the country itself. The selection of parks in the southern circuit fit our vision and budget well. If, like us, you're unsure what to do or see, reach out to this company and they will help tailor something to your liking. We had a 4x4 Land Cruiser with four rear seats, which was spacious for two people. The car was well kept. Our guide throughout the trip was Mansoor Mohamed and we couldn't have asked for better company. Humble and well spoken with a great knowledge about nature and the animals we saw. For first-timers in Africa he made us feel safe and taken care of from the first e-mail conversation all the way until we parted ways. Some of the lodges or hotels were a bit worn down, but that was our budget range and we didn't mind. The experience, the animals, the car and the guide were all top notch. All-in-all, great services and good value for money. Would definitely seek out African Pangolin Safaris for other trips if we should return. Mansoor told us he would schedule an appointment with the leopard we didn't manage to photograph, so I guess we'll plan a new trip when its schedule is available =)
A trip of a lifetime! We were blown away by everything and so well looked after and cared for by our amazing guide Yunus. It's hard to even come up with the words to express how wonderful this trip was and I'm so thankful we chose Pangolin Safaris. Look no further, you won't regret it!
I went with my family on a multi-day safari with African Pangolin Safaris. We visited Mikumi, Udzungwa and Ruaha National Park. It was an amazing experience. We saw many animals - elephants, lions, buffaloes, impalas, wildebeest, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, baboons, ostriches, kudu, giraffes. dik dik antelope and many birds. We also visited a Maasai village. Our guide Mansoor Mohamad was a great driver and guide. African Pangolin Safaris is a recommendable Tanzania safari organizer. Perfect contact, quick, specific answers. I highly recommend. Robert
My husband and I had an unbelievable time on our safari, Yunus, our guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. Throughout our private safari he provided interesting insights into African life and the animals around us. Our guide knew all of the best spots and times to observe the wildlife we wanted to see and made it his mission to show us the animals we came to see- and we saw so much! (Lion Cubs!) All the lodging was very clean and we were kept quite comfortable throughout our trip, would definitely recommend staying at camps/cabins inside the parks.
