Furthermore Philbert is really friendly and courteous, which made our stay in Tanzania very pleasant. I really recommend it and I will definitely book my next trip to Tanzania again with mytrip2tanzania. With mytrip2tanzania a unforgettable holiday is guaranteed.

Amazing trip! The national parks were amazing. One of the most epic scenery in Ngorongoro that I ever have experienced. We saw all the animals really close and the food was really great.

Amazing experience with MyTrip2Tanzania We went wirh a friend on safari in Tanzania in September 2023. Philbert was really nice guide and met our expectations on sagari 100 %. It was unforgettable experience and would really do safari once again. The lodges he chose for us, was really good. The welcoming, the staff, the food, all in all everything met our expectations more as expected. Keep doing your great work!! Greetings from Lithuania and Switzerland.

Perfect time in Tanzania! We traveled together with a friend to Tanzania in September. Philbert was extremely nice, starting from organizing everything to the last detail and finishing with being very flexible and accustoming to all our wishes. He made our safari experience unforgettable, we also learned A LOT about all the animals, since he was always sharing interesting facts about them. The places he picked out for living were also nice. Basically he took care of everything and we felt very safe and comfortable the whole trip. Generally he is a very nice, trustworthy, had working person who prioritizes his clients and is genuinely trying to make them happy- and this you can definitely feel throughout the whole trip. We would definitely recommend him to everyone who is looking for an unforgettable experience in Afrika’s safaris.

Great Tanzania Experience We started with the usual Safari round trip (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro), spent two nights at a Masai Lodge and went on a guided road trip down to the coast until DarEsSalam. The safari was amazing (we saw the big 5!), the Masai place was really insightful (and the stars at night simply breathtaking) and the second part of the trip was a deep dive into the country‘s less travelled places where thanks to our excellent guides we learnt a lot about the country, culture and people! We highly recommend MyTrip2Tanzania, everything from pick-up to drop off was perfectly organized with great attention to little details! The guides were very knowledgeable and fun! We hope to be back soon!

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES with MyTrip2Tanzania We chose MyTrip2Tanzania and we were not disappointed. It was one of the most beautiful, authentic and incredible stays I've ever had. Philbert is the best guide by far, so don't hesitate to book with him: you'll never be disappointed. He will always suggest the best options and must-do excursions in northern Tanzania. In addition to the safari, he showed us natural pools, an amazing waterfall and coffee plantations. In short: an extraordinary trip with an attentive and interesting guide. Thanks a lot Philbert we’ll miss you!
