"A well arranged couple’s holiday with Calabash Adventures was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, they handled everything—planning, logistics, and guiding—so we could simply relax and enjoy every moment. Our safari began in Ndutu during the calving season, and it was magical. Watching newborn wildebeest with their mothers, spotting predators, and seeing playful lion cubs made every game drive unforgettable. We especially loved our guide, Dickson, whose knowledge, patience, and passion for wildlife made the experience truly extraordinary. After the safari, we flew to Zanzibar for a romantic escape in Nungwi, with white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and stunning sunsets. Snorkeling, exploring the local village, and intimate dinners by the sea created the perfect way to unwind after our adventure. Thanks to Calabash Adventures, every detail was seamless, from planning to guiding, making this short safari and beach experience an unforgettable mix of adventure, romance, and..."

"I am truly addicted to safari, and this was our fifth safari with Calabash Adventures! My wife and I first came to Tanzania as tourists in 2017, and our experience with the Calabash Adventures team was simply wonderful. On our second safari in 2020, we decided to pursue our passion as wildlife photographers, and we will never forget how Calabash Adventures played a crucial role in transforming us into the photographers we are today. A special thanks to Malisa—not only our guide but like a brother to us—who motivated us every step of the way. From positioning the safari jeep to perfect timing and spotting wildlife, his expertise was invaluable. Tillya has always guided us on the best times to travel and the best places to explore, making every trip seamless and memorable. Safari has truly become part of our lives, and we eagerly look forward to our next adventure. A journey to Tanzania is in our blood, and we wholeheartedly recommend Calabash Adventures for anyone seeking the ..."

"Meillä oli uskomaton 7 päivän safari Calabash Adventuresin kanssa! Kaikki sujui alusta loppuun saakka moitteettomasti – kuljetukset, kansallispuistojen liput ja järjestelyt hoidettiin täydellisesti. Oppaamme Malisa oli mahtava – ystävällinen, asiantunteva ja intohimoinen villieläimiin. Hänen ansiostaan näimme leijonia, gepardeja, norsuja, kirahveja ja jopa kuuluisia puussa lepäileviä leijonia! Matkan kohokohta oli Mara-joen ylitykset – todellinen once-in-a-lifetime -kokemus. Matawi Serengeti Camp teki seikkailusta vieläkin erityisemmän. Teltat olivat tilavia ja mukavia, ruoka herkullista, ja herääminen Serengetin auringonnousuun oli taianomaista. Serengetistä Ngorongoron kraaterille ja Lake Manyaralle joka päivä oli täynnä upeita maisemia ja unohtumattomia villieläinkokemuksia. Suuret kiitokset Calabash Adventuresille ja Malisalle aidosta safarikokemuksesta, jota tulemme vaalimaan ikuisesti!"

"My husband, our two children, and I had our dream Africa experience with Calabash Adventures, and it was truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, everything was seamless, allowing us to fully enjoy the remote beauty of Western Tanzania. Our journey began at Katavi National Park, where wide-open landscapes and untouched wilderness gave us a real sense of Africa’s untamed magic. Driving from Katavi to Mpanda was an adventure in itself—breathtaking scenery, wildlife sightings along the way, and the thrill of exploring one of Africa’s most remote regions. In Katavi, the river teemed with hippos, while elephants, buffaloes, and countless birds amazed our children at every turn. The highlight was the iconic chimpanzee trekking in Mahale Mountains National Park, where we met the playful Kikuyu family, a group of chimps swinging through the forest and caring for their young—it was an emotional and unforgettable experience for all of us. Along Lake Tanganyika, we visited fishing v..."

"We were recommended to Calabash Adventures by a friend who traveled with them in 2019, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and ran smoothly exactly as planned. Communication with Halima was seamless—she was incredibly helpful and attentive in accommodating all our requests. Our driver and guide, Mood, was fantastic—attentive, knowledgeable, and always eager to share insights about the wildlife in the parks. He made sure we saw as many animals as possible each day, and his enthusiasm and professionalism truly enhanced the safari experience. Both Halima and Mood were extremely friendly and gave us the impression that they genuinely care about nature and take their work seriously. We will definitely travel with Calabash Adventures again and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, well-organized, and unforgettable safari experience."
