Great visit - unforgettable experience. Transport from hotel to Paje, air transport in Broussard. Excellent guides, everything was perfect with an unforgettable experience with an old male elephant. Only downside with the lions that we approached very closely and that seemed amorphous.

Unique! - Even though we went on a safari in Mikumi National Park at the end of November, during the small rainy season, we were more than thrilled and saw a lot of wildlife. We spotted 4 of the Big 5, though unfortunately there are no more rhinos in the park. During the day, we were even lucky enough to see a leopard, which our guide said is very rare. It was truly a wonderful day, and our guide was simply fantastic! While other jeeps drove past certain animals, we stopped for each and every one, giving us plenty of time to take photos and enjoy the experience. Since it was the low season, there were also far fewer jeeps than what is often shown online, which made the safari even more enjoyable. I specifically chose this tour because it was advertised as being offered in German. Despite several German-speaking tourists being on the tour, there was no German-speaking guide. I chose this tour because my partner doesn’t speak English well, and it would have been more comfortable for him. I don’t understand why it’s advertised this way if it’s not actually available. Despite that, it was still a beautiful and exciting day, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Safari from Zanzibar - We were picked up directly from our hotel and taken to the airport. The journey was smooth and we were looked after. The safari was out of this world and surpassed all expectations. A meal and drinks were included and the day was wonderful. I have booked my Zanzibar holiday again and for certain will visit this Safari once more with this company. No faults whatsoever, the guides even took pictures for me using their binoculars to focus. Totally recommend!

Minneric tour - We had a fantastic day from we started from our hotel until we were back again. Had a very nice guide Nixon, who informed about the park and the wildlife there. There was a nice couple from Lester with us, so we were only 4 pieces in the safari car. Was also a nice lunch stop with good food before we left for the last session before we went home. All in all, a memorable trip that is highly recommended.

Just superb! - It’s really a great moment! The flight in a small plane is already setting the tone! Flight over Zanzibar, ocean and Tanzania We land directly on a runway in the middle of the savannah. Immediate support by David, our professional and friendly guide-driver, in an open Jeep We come across many animals, calm and majestic, often very close. An unforgettable day, timeless, to experience once!

Do not miss ! - Up very very early...We are picked up at the hotel for a transfer to Stone Town airport. Small plane which drops us off directly on the dirt runway of Mikumi National Park at 8am. The jeep is waiting for us next to the plane for an instant departure. AMAZING ! We were able to see all the animals, elephants, zebras, giraffes, leopards, wildebeest, impalas, lions, warthogs, baboons, eagles, buffaloes. The jeeps are not stuck in single file, but isolated in search of animals. The guides communicate with each other to give the situation of the animals and sometimes, for the lions for example, we still found ourselves with several jeeps on the spot. Water, fruit juices and cakes are available in a cooler. Quite decent lunch in a lodge within the park surrounded by pilfering baboons. I'm not giving it 5 stars because the guide was really stingy with explanations.

Avoid it. Agency not serious - We booked and paid for a 1 day safari for MIKUMI in France through the tour operator ô club who unfortunately works with FLASHTOUR. It was impossible to tell us the precise date of the safari and that this would be organized upon our arrival on site. So we arrived on Sunday and Monday asked for the planned date (because no one from FLASHTOUR was going to come us) so that we could organize the other excursions we wanted to make. No answer. After several attempts to call and valuable help from the Hotel Manager SANSI KENDWA we manage to have an appointment at our hotel on Tuesday morning. Since the person sent there was to arrive at 12:20 we did not make the morning excursion because back at 12:30 and we were waiting so long for our date.... This dear gentleman arrives at 1:15 p.m. without knowing the file and without even an excuse. We had to get angry to get a date because he was going to turn us into a squall again. So we are given a safari date on Thursday and we are told that the departure time from the hotel will be communicated the day before. At 7pm the day before tjs no message we try to reach him but no reply. The manager of our hotel managed to reach him via his personal phone to tell us that the safari was cancelled and that he would perhaps be moved to Saturday knowing that we would leave on Monday😖. This safari was our dream and above all it was already settled. We were forced to buy a new safari on the spot with a trusted Fabo person. AVOID FLASTOURS IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SPEND YOUR STAY ON THE PHONE AND MAKE EMAILS.
