Safari Reviews – Real Stories from Our Travellers

"Our family just returned from an unforgettable 3D 2N safari with Calabash to Nyerere National Park, and the trip exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Rama, was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the wildlife and the park. His stories kept us entertained, and he was more than happy to stay at the park all day from opening until closing to try to make sure we saw everything. We saw a huge variety of animals, including hyenas, buffalo, wildebeest, and even the rare African wild dog. One of the most amazing moments was enjoying a delicious lunch at a beautiful scenic viewpoint. The setting was spectacular, and the food was delicious. The peace and quiet is breathtaking. Nyerere National Park is much quieter than some of the other parks, so you really feel like you are in the middle of nature.

"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..."
