Everything was perfectly organized, with support from departure until return. Excellent value for money, I highly recommend!Posted on Tripadvisor Joanne JVerified Memorable first safari experience We enjoyed the game drive in Nyerere National Park and the river safari in the Selous River for 1 night and 2days.It was a comfortable and fun safari trip thanks to our guide, Charles and Dozo. They were great at explaining the animals and the whole Nyerere area so it was a great experience.It was good to enjoy the animals up close and the pick-up service was also so nice.Also, the dishes served were delicious.If you just do the safari in Serengeti, and not Nyerere, you’ll miss out!Posted on Tripadvisor SiljeVerified Much for the money! The safari started when we were picked up in Dar es Salaam. We set our course to Mikumi National Park. The guide adapted to us, and we only had a few quick stops on the road - as we wanted to get the most out of the park.When we arrived in the park we left our things and agreed a time we would meet for game drive in the park. We drove around and saw many animals in close proximity! The first thing that met us when we got into the park was a flock of elephants, which was a big wish from our side!We took an early evening and agreed to leave early for game drive. We got to see almost all the 5 big ones, except cornea! We saw leopards, elephants, lions, river horses, crocodiles, zebras, buffaloes, giraffes, hyenas, monkeys. Our guide had an enormous amount of knowledge and was engaging throughout the safari, which we greatly appreciate!We got lunch the first day, dinner and accommodation. In addition to a day and a half in Mikumi National park, and we felt this held. We can recommend this company, they are easy to deal with and deliver what they want according to the budget you have. They are welcoming and friendly!Posted on Tripadvisor Saif AVerified Highly recommended tour guide We booked a 2-day safari with Mr Widman in mid-August, we were picked up in Dar es Salaam and driven to Mikumi National Park, everyone involved was very friendly and it was always taken into account our wishes. On the second day we also got a very nice introduction through a Masai village where the culture was explained to us in more detail. Overall it was a very nice adventure and we felt very safe with Widman and his team, we can only recommend
