5.0/5What an amazing holiday. The team at Asante Bibi were all fantastic from start to finish. They had great communication leading up to our trip and during. Our flight was delayed and they were so accommodating. The safari was amazing, we saw so much. Our driver and guide were exceptional and they made it the most amazing experience I have ever had. The accommodation was really nice with delicious food. The hospitality was unmatched! We were welcomed by a family of elephants on arrival to make it even more special. The boat trip was really fun as it is something different to your normal dive as well as the walking tour. All incredible. It is fantastic value for money and I couldn't recommend it more. I will definitely be doing more safaris with Asante Bibi again in the future.

Dear Daudi and the entire Asante Bibi Tours & Safaris team, Jambo! We hope this message finds you all well. First of all, thank you so much for being part of such a special moment in our lives — our honeymoon! Our 3-day safari to Mikumi National Park was an unforgettable experience, and we are so grateful to have shared it with your amazing team. From the very beginning of the booking process to the very end of our trip, everything was handled with incredible professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. We truly felt taken care of at every step. Daudi, your coordination and communication made everything smooth and stress-free. Our drivers, Mhina and Kelvin, were not only skilled and reliable, but also warm and friendly. Rajabu, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and made each game drive so exciting and informative. The safari itself was beyond spectacular — we were blown away by the wildlife, the stunning landscapes, and the peaceful beauty of Mikumi. The lodge where we stayed was equally amazing — comfortable, welcoming, and surrounded by nature. One of the highlights for us was the visit with the Maasai community. That experience touched us deeply and gave us insight into a culture that is so rich and unique. It was truly one of the most memorable parts of our trip. We can honestly say we had no issues whatsoever — only wonderful memories that we will treasure forever. Thank you for making our honeymoon so magical. We will definitely be recommending Asante Bibi Tours & Safaris to all our friends and family, and we hope to return one day for another adventure! With warmest regards, Sergio

My family and I had a two-day safari trip in Nyerere with Asante Bibi. Our experience was incredible. From the very first moment they were very attentive to everything we needed, especially with the children. They're a small, growing company that offers a very personalized experience, tailored to each person's choices, and they adjusted very well to our budget. Both the transfers and the lodging were very good, and they were always very careful to make sure everything was okay and that we were satisfied. For us, the most incredible part was our safari guide. Gladness made sure we had a great experience the entire time. Since she's a local guide, she's very knowledgeable about the area and the animals there. Also, her personal treatment was exceptional. We were also accompanied by another guide, Hagar, with whom we had the opportunity to do other excursions in Zanzibar. She was always very helpful, efficient, and kind. We felt very comfortable the entire time, and it's definitely an experience we would recommend and repeat. We also had the chance to have dinner with Daudi, the head of the company, and we were able to ask him about the area, how they organize safaris, and more. Long story short, we recommend 100%
