Reviews of AFRICAN PANGOLIN SAFARIS

Comfortable, educational and simply amazing

Just finished Safari (game drive) with Mansoor, and I loved it! Mansoor is an excellent driver and knows a lot about animals. Very patient and nice, we really learned a lot from him. Car was very comfortable and we enjoyed every moment with him. I definitely recommend it to everyone, you will not regret it!

Greatest Safari ever!

From A.. to ...Z we are over happy to have had this wonderful safari experience through Pangolin Safaris and our driver / guide Yunus! The clarifications before the start of the safari went absolutely smoothly, your English is clear, easy to understand and they left no questions unanswered. Every detail of our trip was perfectly organised and carried out with equal efficiency. Even on the longer trips to the parks it never got boring as there was always something to see somewhere and also questions about the different places or animals were answered immediately clear and understandable. We were lucky to see new highlights of the wildlife every day - from wild dogs to leopards, which were very close by. This was clearly only possible because Yunus has loved his job for years and enjoys sharing it with his guests. We can only recommend Pangolin Safaris and Yunus without hesitation!

Just amazing

We booked a 9 day trip with African Pangolin Safaris. From the start the communication was very good, we felt listened to and got good advice too. The planning was flexible and after a few different options, the entire trip was turned around to accommodate a cheaper flight. The booking process is user friendly, All electronic. It was a trip of a lifetime with so many experiences, covering 4 national parks, 4 days of game drives,camping with Masaai, spectacular gorge walk, day trekking in the mountains, a boat safari and a walking safari. We chose basic/standard accommodation and it was always very clean and the beds were comfortable. The car was reliable and comfortable, it even had a mini fridge. Mansoor is a very safe driver, who knows the parks, and many other drivers so often exchanged top tips of where to go and what to see, so we saw loads. And he's just good company. I can't recommend African Pangolin Safaris enough.

excellent 3-day safari from African Pangolin

We took the 3-day 2-night Mikumi/Udzungwa tour from African Pangolin. We were originally booked for this tour in May 2020, but all travel fell apart with the coronavirus, and we had to cancel. Mansoor from Pangolin was great with communication leading up to our 2020 ticket, and then also when the trip got cancelled. We stayed in touch, and when 2023 gave the green light for the tour, we booked again with Pangolin and were very glad to finally be able to make the safari. Mansoor is professional, prompt, and personal in setting up the experience. Highest recommendation. Our driver/guide for the safari and trekking adventure was Zakaria. He speaks English very well, is a great driver, and has very deep knowledge of biology, particularly of the large animals, birds, and plants. Zakaria is a personable guy who made for great company for three days. The Land Cruiser we rode in is a very tough vehicle that could handle all the road conditions. Everything was very safe. The safari itself was a fantastic experience. It was the late stage of the rainy season, but we were fortunate that we didn't have rain. The parks were almost empty of people, and just full of the big animals. They were everywhere; very little time passed between encounters. I suppose we were quite lucky, but the adventure was everything we could expect and more. Many, many giraffes and zebras, sometimes together. Impala, eland, water buffalo, warthogs, baboons, wildebeest, jackals, crocodile, monkeys, hippopotamus, many birds. Two lions together, right next to our vehicle, that we observed for a long time. Close-range elephants. Amazing looks from the Land Cruiser. The hike up to the falls in Udzungwa the next day was very nice, if a little challenging on the way up. It's a long drive to and from Mikumi NP, so we had a chance to see a lot of village life in rural Tanzania that one does not see in Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar City. The mid-range accommodations were quite comfortable, and the meals were very good. Safaris are quite expensive, but this 3-day expedition was good value for the money. Great driver/guide, great service, reliable company.

Amazing Gods creation

Gods creation is beautiful, and with African Pangolin Safaris we got the chance to see the big 4 and many other creations as close as if you could touch them. Important for us was: we got everything as we agreed, price was very reasonable, driver was calm and vriendly. He did everything possible to let us enjoy. We slept in the parc, an amazing experience. Monkeys in front of our room. Next time, we know who we will choose again

African Pangolin Safaris is the best Tour operator in Tanzania!

My experience with African Pangolin Safaris as solo traveler was excellent because they are the best professional ever! Very kind, lovely and helpful with everything, with great knowledge of Safaris in Tanzania.

Excellent service provided

We have recently done this safari and it really has been an outstanding experience. We were unlucky at first because two times the tour was cancelled due to unfavourable weather but in the end we made it, thanks also to the extraordinary flexibility and friendliness of the operator. The communication with Mansoor from African Pangolin Safaris was very friendly and open. Due to unfavourable weather circumstances, 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!

Personalized and kind

We have done a 6 days personalised tour in Tarangire, Serengheti and Ngorongoro with African Pangolin Safaris. All the two guides are very well prepared, we could see all animals, included the big 5! They were very kind, caring and helpful. We had a really nice, personalised and unique experience in Tanzania with Mohamed and Vikto!

there are too less stars to give ...

Last year we made one of the most, maybe the most amazing experience in our life! We have seen so much wilderness, so much pure nature and so many animals, that we can not believe even today. On this way we would like to thank our driver and guide Mansoor for our wonderful trip to and through mikumi national park and the awesome selous. We had a very nice time, because we had a very experienced and professional scout. The car was comfortable, even on roads "with african massage for free". So we can and will recommend this organizer without any ifs or buts.
