Northland Tanzania Safaris

  I have been to Africa many times, but the moment i met George Munge, the owner and safari expert of Northland Tanzania Safaris, everything was really changed me and... read more become in love for Tanzania as my safari destination. This is our 3rd time to book our trip with Northland Tanzania Safaris. We did last year an amazing trip to the Southern Tanzania (Ruaha, Mikumi and Selous) and this year again Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater for 15 days for the migration calving season in Ndutu area and central Serengeti. After the safari we have spent 7 days on Sansibar for relaxing time. The accommanditions were perfekt from Arusha Grand Melia, Ngorongoro Lions Paw, Lake Masek Lodge, Kubu Kubu Lodge and ending our trip to the two beautiful Beach Hotel in Zanzibar at the Residance Zanzibar and Gold Zanzibar, was the perfect choice for our vacation. My husband and I are semi-professional photographers and George knows the best time to go out and the best position for our photographic moments. But all in all SAFETY was his number one priority and believe Mélanie, this company and the guides, George and Vincent, always takes care of us. We wäre in Southern Serengeti-Ndutu area for great migration safari and we experienced some people got stuck, but our guides always advised the best route and it was much personal and close to nature with a lot of wildlife. If you ever want to travel to Tanzania, i am highly recommand NorthlandTanzania Safari as our Host safari company and you can ask George Munge or Vincent Mumba as your driver and guides. See you next trip to Western Serengeti our friends abd cheers all Andrea und Auer

  We've been blessed to take a number of Safari's in various African countries and all have been very good, but if you ask my family who they would like to... read more tour with again, I have not doubt that the unanimous answer would be "George" with Northland Tanzania Safaris. We spent several days round tripping from Arusha with George and toured the Serengeti from Lake Manyara to the border of Kenya including the NGorogoro crater which, if I had only one day to Safari, would be my pick. I've never been any place else where you could sit in one location and see so many things going on.

If George Munge is professional, he is even more personable. The trip was as comfortable as you can get when seeking out wildlife on the Serengeti and George's knowledge made every encounter a growing experience. If you are lucky enough to be present for the crossing of the Mara river during the great migration, there is some waiting involved (the wildebeest are apparently not employees of Northland Tanzania Migration) but the waiting for us passed quickly with George's running narration of the simple thoughts of wildebeest deciding when to cross. He had the family in stitches.

George's personal familiarity with Massai life and culture were also a boost to the trip

George is unique also in that he also is working to conserve Tanzania's wildlife as well as invest in the people of Tanzania. With the outbreak of COVID-19 George worked to supply hand washing stations in the remote villages of Tanzania. .

The camps we stayed at were very nice and close to the action. One night in the northern Serengeti, the wildebeest passed through our camp at night before settling down nearby.

If you've safaried before, you know that when guides meet on the trail they stop to share information. Although I don't speak Swahili it was clear that George's advice was respected and sought out by many of the guides, not only in the location of wildlife, but for operational issue like getting Land Cruisers free from stuck sand.

We heartily recommend George Munge and Northland Tanzania Safaris. George is an excellent "mwalimu" and the service from Northland Tanzania Safaris is "nzuri sana."

(Please note that my trip with George was before April of 2020 which is the earliest date permitted on the form. I marked it July of 2020 since July is the month we travelled.)
