Amazing safaris in Ruaha, Mikumi and Nyerere National Parks
I took 3 people on safari with Widmans Tours & Safaris in July 2021. Most of the time (6 nights) we spent in Ruaha National Park with one overnight (one drive) in Mikumi NP as a logistical stop during the transfer from Dar es Salaam to Ruaha. On the way back we stayed one night in Iringa.
All of us are experienced safari goers (I have been to 40+ parks and reserves in 9 African countries) and eager wildlife photographers, so I this is not a comment from a first timer. We are extremely happy with the tour and especially with our guide Gilbert, a very competent and already experienced young man with eagle's eye for wildlife sightings, as well as excellent knowledge of birds, mammals, reptiles, trees and plants. Please, check the photos from this trip that I have uploaded along with this review.
Gilbert is also a very nice and easy going person, a delight to spend time with. He was very hard working and flexible, satisfying every requirement that we had.
Widman, the owner of the company also worked very hard to organize the trip and made sure that every detail has been taken care of.
In January, 2022, I had another safari (this time with a group with another 5 people) with Widmans Tours & Safaris to Ruaha, Mikumi and Nyerere National Parks. All said above applies for this trip, as well.
I would strongly recommend Widmans Tours & Safaris to anyone trying to get the most for their money for either a long or short safari in Tanzania, especially in the Southern Circuit parks - Ruaha, Nyerere (former Selous Game Reserve) and Mikumi.
I sincerely hope that I will be able to use this company's services again for future safaris in Tanzania.
