Unvergessliche Safari – absolute Empfehlung! Wir waren von unserer Safari absolut begeistert und hatten dank unseres großartigen Teams einen wunderschönen und unvergesslichen Tag! Unser Guide Innocent war einfach hervorragend. Er ist unglaublich kompetent, spricht sehr gut Deutsch und konnte uns unglaublich viel über die verschiedenen Tiere, ihre Lebensweise und den Nationalpark erzählen. Besonders schön fanden wir, dass er uns immer mit einbezogen und sich viel Zeit für unsere Fragen genommen hat. Man hat sofort gemerkt, dass er seinen Beruf mit Leidenschaft macht und sehr viel Erfahrung hat. Auch unser Jeepfahrer Japhasoh hat einen tollen Job gemacht und dafür gesorgt, dass wir sicher unterwegs waren und die Tiere aus nächster Nähe beobachten konnten. Wir hatten das große Glück, unglaublich viele verschiedene Tiere zu sehen: Löwen, Elefanten, Giraffen, Nilpferde, Antilopen, Warzenschweine, Affen und zahlreiche verschiedene Vogelarten. Ein ganz besonderes Dankeschön geht an Innocent, den wir von Herzen weiterempfehlen möchten! Wer eine Safari macht, sollte unbedingt hoffen, ihn als Guide zu bekommen. Er hat unsere Safari durch sein Wissen, seine sympathische Art und seine tolle Betreuung zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht. Vielen Dank an Innocent und Japhasoh für diesen wunderschönen Tag! Wir würden jederzeit wieder mit euch auf Safari gehen. Absolute 5-Sterne-Empfehlung!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Äußerst empfehlenswert! Es war ein wunderschönes Erlebnis. Ich hatte nicht zu träumen gewagt, tatsächlich so viele einheimische Tiere von so nahem sehen zu dürfen. Unser sehr freundlicher Guide (Innocent) hat die Tour zu einem echten Ereignis gemacht. Durch seine hervorragenden Deutschkenntnisse, war er in der Lage uns die tansanische Tierwelt sehr gut nahe zu bringen! Wirklich toll und sehr zu empfehlen!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Journée exceptionnelle Safari journée de rêve grâce à notre guide Emmanuel et notre chauffeur. Nous avons pu observer les lions, léopard, éléphants et tous les animaux présents dans le parc. Un immense merci à nos 2 guides pour leurs gentillesses, écoutes, et explications durant toute ma journée pour nous avoir donné autant de merveilleux souvenirs.

An Unforgettable Safari with Aristides Our safari in Mikumi National Park was truly one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives, and we owe so much of that to our amazing guide, Aristides. From the very beginning, Aristides went above and beyond for us. He made us feel incredibly welcome and truly took care of every detail. He really spoiled us and made sure we experienced everything we possibly could. We had a private safari, and Aristides made sure it genuinely felt private. He always took the time to find the best spots and gave us the opportunity to experience the animals up close, while making sure we could enjoy every moment without feeling rushed. Thanks to his knowledge, passion, kindness and dedication, we were able to see and experience so much more than we ever expected. He didn’t just give us a safari — he gave us memories that we will carry with us forever. Aristides, we are eternally grateful for everything you did for us. You made our safari absolutely unforgettable, and we couldn’t have wished for a better guide. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will never forget you and this incredible experience! ❤️🦁🐘🦒Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Vom bequemen Jeep aus hat man sehr viele Tiere und die beeindruckende Parklandschaft gesehen. Moses hat alles interessant erklärt und man konnte jederzeit Fragen stellen. Joshua ist ein super Fahrer, wir haben uns mit den beiden sehr wohl gefühlt. Vielen Dank für dieses unvergessliche Erlebnis!

An Unforgettable Safari with Aristides 🦁🌍 Our one-day fly-in safari with Hola Africa was an absolutely incredible experience — and a huge part of that was our wonderful personal guide, Aristides. Aristides is an exceptionally experienced, attentive and enthusiastic guide. He seemed to have his eyes and ears everywhere, constantly watching and listening for the next exciting sighting. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see an amazing variety of wildlife: lions, zebras, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, buffalos, elephants, impalas and wildebeest. Every encounter was special and unforgettable. What we appreciated most was his patience and understanding of our passion for photography. He always gave us plenty of time to take photos and videos, while making sure we also had enough time to simply put the camera down and enjoy these incredible animals with our own eyes. He knew exactly when we were ready to move on without ever making us feel rushed. Aristides also shared an incredible amount of knowledge with us. His explanations, stories and insights gave us a much deeper understanding of the animals, their behaviour and the African wilderness. And the wonderful African hot lunch in the middle of this unforgettable day was the perfect addition. ❤️ This was so much more than just a safari — it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget. We are incredibly grateful to have had Aristides as our guide and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a truly exceptional safari experience. Thank you, Aristides, and thank you Hola Africa, for an absolutely magical day! 🐘🦒🦁❤️ HAKUNA MATATA - ASANTE SANAPosted on Google![]()

We had a great experience and highly recommend Aristides, who gave us a marvelous trip in Mikumi National Park. We saw a lion and lioness, buffaloes, crocodiles, elephants, giraffes, zebras, impalas, warthogs, baboons, and elands. We enjoyed it very much and got incredibly close to the animals. Aristides was highly knowledgeable and caring, and the drive was very smooth. You can truly tell he loves his job. Thank you again!Posted on Google![]()

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Hola Africa’s Safari Tour in Mikumi! This was our first-ever safari and first trip to Africa, and it exceeded every expectation. Our guides, Aristitis and Emmanueli, were outstanding from start to finish. They were knowledgeable, professional, and made everything clear and straightforward, so we never felt lost or unsure of what was happening. We managed to see all the animals we’d hoped for, which made the whole trip feel truly complete. What stood out most was how safe and taken care of we felt the entire time. You could tell they genuinely cared about giving us a great experience, not just checking boxes on an itinerary. We’re so grateful to Aristitis and Emmanueli for making our first safari unforgettable. Highly recommend Hola Africa to anyone looking for a well-run, guided safari experience in Mikumi!Posted on Google![]()

We had a wonderful one day safari in Mikumi national park with Pascal as a guide and driver Aristidis. We did not expect too much from a single day safari , but it was an amazing and unforgettable day. I will not add too much words, just watch the pictures.
