More than we could have wished for!!
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!

Amazing safari
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!
Response from the operator: No other word than saying "Asante Sana" Once again thank you for choosing African Pangolin Safaris to host this family safari in Tanzania. Welcome again for the next destination.

My first safari, and immediately the best!
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!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking your time to write review for our company. Really appreciated for choosing our company for your safari in Tanzania. Karibu tena!

The most wonderful 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.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking your time to write review for our company. Once again thank you for choosing African Pangolin Safaris for your Tanzania Safari. Asante sana!

Best trip and guide we could have wished for
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!
Response from the operator: Hakuna Matata! Thank you for taking your time to write positive review for us. Really appreciate to choose our company to host your safari in Tanzania. Asante sana! Karibu tena!

6 Days Safari to Udzungwa Mountain NP, Ruaha NP and Mikumi NP: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dar es Salaam.
How much does 6 Days Safari to Udzungwa Mountain NP, Ruaha NP and Mikumi NP cost?
+
Prices start at $1,656 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dar es Salaam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 6 Days Safari to Udzungwa Mountain NP, Ruaha NP and Mikumi NP take?
+
Plan for about 144 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dar es Salaam is not rushed.
Is 6 Days Safari to Udzungwa Mountain NP, Ruaha NP and Mikumi NP worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dar es Salaam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 6 Days Safari to Udzungwa Mountain NP, Ruaha NP and Mikumi NP?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 6 Days Safari to Udzungwa Mountain NP, Ruaha NP and Mikumi NP suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 6 Days Safari to Udzungwa Mountain NP, Ruaha NP and Mikumi NP?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dar es Salaam can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dar es Salaam and add a light layer if any part of the 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6 Days Safari to Udzungwa Mountain NP, Ruaha NP and Mikumi NP start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dar es Salaam within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dar es Salaam?
+
On Outty we rank every Dar es Salaam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2 nights 3 days safari to mikumi national park, 1-Day Mikumi National Park Fly-In Safari from Zanzibar, 3 Days Safari to Mikumi NP - Accommodation Inside the Park. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dar es Salaam?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dar es Salaam?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 6 Days Safari to Udzungwa Mountain NP, Ruaha NP and Mikumi NP?
+
Included: Walking safari; Bottled water; National Park fees; Driver/guide; and Lunch. Not included: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase); Gratuities; and Anything of personal nature. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 6 Days Safari to Udzungwa Mountain NP, Ruaha NP and Mikumi NP include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Dar es Salaam. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.
What languages is 6 Days Safari to Udzungwa Mountain NP, Ruaha NP and Mikumi NP offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
