Very nice Tour in Africa,Tanzania - In addition to the wildlife, Kumekucha Africa Safaris Tours also exposed us to the rich cultural heritage of Africa. We had the opportunity to visit local villages, interact with indigenous tribes, and learn about their traditions and way of life. These experiences added depth and meaning to our journey, allowing us to gain a greater appreciation for the diversity and resilience of the African people.

Phenomenal experience for those with limited time. - Had a fantastic day with Bakari. A truly lovely man. He picked me up from the airport and dropped me back at my hotel after an amazing day exploring the beatiful park and seeing so many incredible animals. The park is vast and Bakari was a wonderful guide. The perfect option as I had such limited time in Tanzania. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

Everything you could hope in a marathon1-day safari - A wonderful day, even with the challenging drive out/back from Dar. Everyone from the company was kind a courteous, and we were treated extremely well. We were two women traveling at odd hours, because we could only spare the time for the 1-day safari, and felt very safe and well-supported. Our drivers, Albert (to-from Dar) and Michael (tour driver in the park) were fantastic. And Michael somehow led us to lions, elephants, warthogs, hippos, zebras, giraffes, impalas, etc over the course of a 4 hours tour. Lunch food was very good. Genuinely a lovely and exciting day.

Mikumi day trip from Dar Es Salaam amazing one for transit travellers ! - It had been great time at Mikumi national park with one day trip to Mikumi national park where I did game safari for about 4 hrs followed by visit to Masai village. I would say thanks to the direction of Kumekucha Africa tours and Travels Mr. Ferdinand and tour organiser Mr Hamad to get this memorable tour arranged only for me being solo traveller. The drive up and down had been 6 hrs in each direction but didn’t felt tough due to very gentle driver! Special thanks to Aby ( Abraham) tour guide for both game safari and Masai village trip who had been so nice and helpful during attractions visit. In general, for travellers like me having just one day travel time, this Mikumi Day trip to Dar Es Salam is perfect to explore African traditions and Short safari in minimum time. Thanks organisers and guide again! 😊

Wow! what a peaceful and... - Wow! what a peaceful and yet exciting experience! It was so thrilling to see all of the wild animals and also open land where it seems endless. Was able to see: giraffes, zebras, impalas, warthogs, hippos, leopard, and a quick snap of a lion! Would recommend bug/mosquitoe spray and water, cause it’s gonna be hot and the flies can get a bit aggressive. Host made sure i saw all the animals i could and taught me about their lifestyles and behaviors. Seemed super enthused about the animals and loved sharing. — A MUST SEE

Recommended!! - Hamad was our tour guide and driver. He picked us up at 4:30 am to avoid traffic as much as possible. We had breakfast on the way which was super delicious: banana soup with beef. The drive and check-in process at the reserve we’re smooth. He got our tickets, requested our lunch from the menu and we were set on our way. Considering it’s COVID times, we were only a party of 2 and I think I speak for my friend and I when I say that it was an amazing trip. Hamad was very knowledgeable about the animals, their ways and their habits, not to mention a very skilled driver in the mud. He welcomed our questions and spoke really good English and saved no efforts in scouting the animals. He said that he had a 20+ experience in tourism and I believe it! 😃
