Bidan was the best during my vacation in Zanzibar. He arranged the Safari PERFECT for us. During Safari we had contact with him, he wanted everything to go well. Bidan thinks with everything and takes his job very seriously! He wants you to have a great and unforgettable holiday and come back to Zanzibar soon. I recommend Bidan for all activities!!

Black Willow Safaris arranged a great safari for us including transfer and stay in the park. The food on the way to the park and in the park was also arranged. Contact was super super super good. They listen to your wishes. I recommend Willow Safaris. You can also go for other activities.

Our experience with Bidan was absolutely amazing. He picked us up in the Nairobi airport and we started our trip from there. Then, we went to Tanzania (Serengeti, Ngorongoro) and flew to Zanzibar. He was with us the whole time and made sure we were always comfortable and happy. I highly recommend his services. Plus: he takes the best pictures with his camera.

Bidan was an excellent host. It was great to have such a reliable guide who treated us as a group exceptionally. We got to interact with the Tanzanian locals while touring the fantastic elements of the island. I could not recommend this tour guide more ????

Mikumi and Udzungwa Safari

23-Aug-2022

We are a family of 3 people and were very happy to experiment a 3days safari with our wonderful guide Bidan Everything was perfectly planned and organised. We stayed in comfortable lodgings and had great food. Everything was included in the package (entry-fees of the national parks, accommodation, food and water). The communication with Bidan was simple and fluent before and during our stay in Tanzania. As soon as we met we felt like family members and Bidan our guide did all he could to make us feel great, to please us and show us the most beautiful things (animals, landscapes, waterfalls etc.) Even though it was the rainy season in April, we managed to see lions, girafs, impalas, elephants and many more. Concerning the payment of the safari the good thing was that we could pay on arrival, so absolutely safe and without surprises. In conclusion, these 3 days with Bidan were rell the trip. We start from Dar Es Salam to go to Mikumi National Park. We traveled in a confortable 4×4, the perfect way to enjoy the road and to see all te were very lucky to see a lot of animals (lions, éléphants, buffalo, hippopotamus, girafes, baboons, impalas, etc). We also visited an authentic Masaï Village near Mikumi. The last day we went to Udzungwa to see the highest waterfall in National parks. After the trip our guide (Bidan) brings us back to the harbor to go to Zanzibar but you can choose where you want to go after the safari. The guide (Bidan) was always very kind and professional, we ate together every day and we spend good time with him. He did his best to see animals we wanted to see like lions. And he also help us to speak with the local people and to book our boat trip to Zanzibar. Conclusion: we recommend you BLACKWILLOW SAFARIS if you want to have a great safari tour in Tanzania and meet nice people.
