We booked a 5 day tour with TanzAmerica for a short holiday and a much needed gateway. They were helpful and provided 5 star service from the beginning to the end. Silas was assigned as our tour guide and took care of everything for us once we reached Zanzibar.On the first day, we relaxed and then went to the Forodhani night food market to try some local delicacies. This was quite fun as we tried some foods quite unique to the region. On day two, we did a full day tour of Stone Town and Prison Island. A very interesting and knowledge filled day learning about the history of Tanzania. We also enjoyed lunching at a local restaurant and checking out the Freddy Mercury museum.On day three to five, we drove up to Kendwa beach at the northern part of the island and did many activities there, one full day of which was spent island hopping with a Safari Blue experience. All in all a great holiday.I would recommend TanzAmerica safaris for a great time in Zanzibar. Our guide Silas, was respectful and kind was with us throughout the day each day and helped us ensure that we were having the best time on our holiday.

Our guide and driver was so amazing and even the most professional in tanzania that we see.They care about your confort, your needs, and they give you a lot of human resources.Beeing with them its the best team ever.Be sure you are in good hands.💞😎👏🏽🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️Asante sana Kaka

Our guide/translator Silas was very dependable and professional. We did a 5 day Zanzibar tour. Everything was properly organized. Will definitely be doing safaris in the mainland with Silas in the future.

Everything was perfectly organized and we really enjoyed our safari with Tanzamerica Safari. Witness was a very nice guide! Definitely recommend this company.

We are in Mikumi about 4 times every year. We always ask Silas for a safari in Mikumi national park. He takes preparation seriously, he shows hospitality and takes great care of his guests. We feel safe with Silas and it is always enjoyable. He truly is passionate about safari guiding and is very knowledgeable. Our favorite part of the safari is always the picnic breakfast at the hippo pool !

I visited Mikumi National Park with my family on July 2017, and Silas was our tour guide/driver. My family enjoyed the trip and Silas was very knowledgeable. We all liked his attitude and his knowledge of animals. He made sure that we saw all the animals and answered all my kids questions. Silas showed us the good place to eat and he waited until we finished eating before took us back to our hotel. I highly recommend Silas and I am glad he was able to have his own website.

When I decided to take this tour I had been living for a year in Tanzania and I had already some experience of safaris, not only in Mikumi but also in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Well, I can assure Silas was the best safari guide I ever had. He had a vast and deep knowledge of every animal in the park, from the big hyppos to the smallest bird, and took us all around the park to spot the rarest animals: some baby elephants, a leopard and a group of lionesses!Many thanks to Silas, I can definitely recommend him to anyone willing to discover the beauties of wild Tanzania.

It was epic.. the trip was awesome. He came to pick us on time, the car was clean and comfortable. He respond.ed to our queries tirelessly, he is good with kids

Super amazing safariWe did a 2 day, one night safari to Mikumi National Park and we loved it.From the initial booking process, everything went smoothly and Silas was incredibly helpful and fast to respond.The safari itself was spectacular. Our guide is very competent in what he does, has a lot of knowledge about animals and their behavior, great spots to see animals very close, plus he is funny, talks English and seems to be a very nice person. We saw millions of antelopes, hundreds of giraffes, elephants, hippos, zebra, buffalo, wild beast and many different birds.Me and my husband had so great time that we would wholeheartedly recommend this company and would for sure go on another safari trip with them.

I can definitely recommend to do the Safari in Mikumi with our Guide Silas. Although I‘ve just done one tour through Mikumi, I‘m sure it‘s hard to find such a smart and cool Guide like Silas. He just knows everything about the animals, the park itself and even many interesting facts about other national parks in Tanzania. His skills are stunning since he sees birds and other animals from very far and tells you the exact species and its name.But even more than that. He is such an organized and kind young man, he even booked the hotel for us and gave us some advice how to get to Mikumi. Moreover he charges a very fair price.If you want to have a adventure that you won‘t forget, go with Silas!

When I decided to do the Safari trip, I had no plans but so much confusing info, luckely I met Silas & he organized it from A-Z with over my expectation.We had a wonderful tour and looking forward to seeing him again on our next one.

We just got back from Mikumi National Park and kind of having a sad feeling that we were there only for one day. It’s a beautiful place where you can see all these wild creatures living in their natural world. Thank to our new friend Silas, who was there with us helping create our memories of this place unforgettable.

Silas is an exceptional tour guide! We absolutely loved our time with him and he has become a friend of the family! He is extremely knowledgeable of the layout of the land, the animals, and history. He is flexible, professional, and took his time in showing us everything we could possibly want to see.If you are looking for the beat tour, Silas is the beat option! We look forward to seeing him again.

An amazing Experience ever and Greatest Hospitality from TANZAMERICA SAFARIS. Silas our guide was amazing: the perfect mix of friendliness, sovereignty and professionalism. Him as our Finest Driver From Dar Es Salaam City to Mikumi park of about 6 hours, We felt comfortable, safe and in good hands from the very first moment.We just finished an excellent tour with Silas Shipula, an incredible guide! We saw each of the Big FOUR of Mikumi,—-even had experienced a rare most incident of all , Four Female Lions gathered around at the Bottom of a tree and at the top of a Tree there was a Leopard, this incident of these two Predators together is Very Rare! What an experience!I would Recommend Silas Shipula As your everytime Tour Guide to Mikumi National Park.

We spent a wonderful 4 days with Silas in Mikumi! Silas is overflowing with information and made our experience a once in a lifetime adventure! Silas is patient, accommodating, enthusiastic and eager to share his wide breadth of knowledge! Someday, when we return to beautiful Tanzania, Silas will be the only guide for us! Not only did we get a wonderful experience, we gained a friend!

Silas is an amazing safari driver! The vehicle was all ready to go when we got there after registering and paying for tickets. Silas was very knowledgeable and informative, sharing animal facts and history and geography all along the way! He also speaks many languages. He made sure to let us see and find as many animals as we could in our given time period. Silas also kept us safe the whole time. He asked what we wanted to see most and made sure it happened. Silas and his business are very friendly and professional, you cant go wrong choosing them. Highly recommend! I cant wait to return to Tanzania for more safari adventures :)

Silas, our guide, has done an excellent job! He was on time early in the morning, has an incredible knowledge of the animals and the park, is very attentive and responds to the wishes and needs of the customer. I would agani go on safari with him - it was great!

This was the first time visit of Mikumi and the 2nd for my family. The first thing that really got my attention was the ontime arrival of our driver cum tour guide Silas. At Mikumi, the arrangement was smooth and entrance clearance took less time than I had expected on a sunday. We knew that Mikumi National Park has only 4 of the big 5..so we managed through patience of our guide to see 3. This is the ultimate experience of safaris, seeing the big 5. The hot meals arrangement wasnt short of expectation as the kids had their minds focused on the animals. The thing that got my attention was the vast knowledge our guide Silas had, he was that extra smart compared to other guides I had been with before. Im not so bad myself with wildlife knowledge and as i listened to him I could tell he was well placed for the job. We had an amazing time and being recommended to this company by another tour operator was a testimony of how reliable you guys are. Thank you for the lifetime experience Silas and Co. ..and ooh...the photo shoots were out of this world. The lioness yawning..I have never seen anything like it. Thanx again and wish to seeing you soon in our #tanapachallenge.

I was fortunate to have a private safari in Mikumi National Park with Silas in July 2019. I was in Dar es Salaam volunteering for three weeks and needed to schedule a quick overnight visit to Mikumi while I was there. I found Silas through some excellent online reviews and reached out to him to inquire about booking. Throughout, his communication was quick, welcoming and professional. Silas and his driver picked me up from my accommodation in Dar and drove me to the park. Along the drive (which is very long due to Tanzanian traffic) Silas provided good commentary on what I was seeing along the road. Once at the park, we were fortunate to see giraffes, impalas, warthogs, wildebeests, zebras, and hippos on the first afternoon before sunset. We were up early the next morning for a post-sunrise drive, but the park was fairly quiet. When we returned to camp for breakfast, we were surprised by four elephants also eating their breakfast just steps away from the cabins. It was an incredible to stand just feet away from these magnificent creatures and just watch them grazing. After breakfast, we went back out in the jeep and saw more elephants and giraffes. Silas had received word that there was a lion sighting in the park and he was determined to find them. We drove for an hour and managed to see two male lions hunting in the tall grasses. An unforgettable experience!I would highly recommend Silas if you are looking for a guide in Tanzania. He is young, enthusiastic, and has lots of knowledge to share about the animals and plants found in the beautiful African countryside. Silas is passionate about building his tourism business, and based on his enthusiasm and personality, I am sure he will be a success.

We had a wonderful safari day with Silas in Mikumi National Park. Never seen so many giraffes anywhere! Silas is a graduate from Arusha Wildlife Academy and that made a real difference. He was great! He is a great guy, sunny and keeps his head cool, took good care of us, knows everything about the animals and birds! We had the best jeep too, very high, open and huge. Silas, we will call you next time we are in the area!

We had a wonderful experience with this company and Silas our guide. Hes passionate and professional. Thank you Silas for sharing with us the love and respect you have for animals and nature.Raphael and Manda

I had an amazing vacation this weekend at Mikumi National Park with my family, my kids want to go back again soon. Our guider Silas is one of the kindest and inspirational tour guider I have never seen. He is so amazing, he does his work as a passion. From arranging the whole park tour, the transport to accommodation he is superb. Will definitely refer him to my family and friends. Will for sure come back again to Mikumi. The food and rooms are so nicee and clean. Very good place to refresh. Thank you so much Silas and God bless you.

A really amazing game drive in a very beautiful nationalpark. Silas is very Professional and has a great knowlege about wildlife and explains everything you want to know. We really enjoyed the trip. Thank you Silas.

I and my visiting friends from Germany have used Silas two times, February 2018 and this June 2019 for a safari in Mikumi and I dont regret using his service. I enjoyed his professionalism, punctuality, good knowledge of birds and wildlife in general.

Silas was a very positive, knowledgable and fun tour guide during our safari. He knows the park and the habits of big 5 very well, we were able to spot 4 out of 5 within half a day safari! I strongly recommend him to every adventure goer visiting Mukimi park.

We were spending our vacation in Zanzibar and we made a short safari trip to the national park Mikumi. We didn´t use travel agency and based on recommendations from Tripadvisor we contacted guide Silas Shipula. He was very kind and willing and has organized everything for us (accomodation, catering, driving and guide services) and even helped us to make a reservation for returning journey.Silas has very strong competency and deep knowledge. He studied at school wildlife specialization and history. He explained everything about animals and we recommend you guys to take his tour with the best guide Silas.

Thank you so much Silas for making our trip and safari so incredible! You have so much knowledge and detail stored in your head. Your love of nature and wildlife added so much to our experience! Also thank you for introducing us to Kevin. Two amazing Tanzanian tour guides.

Great experience! Silas is very prepared and nice. He gave us a lot of information about the wild life and the animals habits. We were also very lucky: we had the chance to see a leopard!

A great thanks to Silas for such unforgettable experience! We came from Zanzibar to Mikumi to start the game drive. Silas supported us already in preparing the trip to Mikumi with bus schedules, hotel Infos and replied very quick all our inquiries during some days. When the game drive started we saw that with Silas we have a very experienced and very educated guide with us who opened the world of Mikumi-Nationalpark in a very smart and friendly way to us. Silas and his team are a mix of German punctuality, Tansanian culture and love for wildlife. We had contacts to some of the guides before our trip. Silas and his team are the right ones to do a drive game again! Thanks a lot guys one more time. Eduard, Germany

Silas was just so amazing. We really had a great time there. Apart from just being our tour guide and driver, he organized everything for us, we did not sweat one bit. From transport, accommodation, food etc etc. Nothing beats this.Thank you Silas!!

Very good gouide, friendly, profesional, clever and funny.If u think which company to chose for the safari, he is the right person.Our group want to say thank u Silas for nice time with u in Mikumi.

We had a wonderful experience with a very caring guide. It tools us 6 hours drive from dal es Salaam bit it was worth coming. We took only one day tour but might be good to Tay one night more to see more animals. Compare to other Safari, the animals are more in round shape

We had an amazing experience in the safari in Mikumi NP. We recommend Silas and his colleagues as a trustworthy, knowledgable safari guides.

Our experience with Silas has been fantastic. Silas is a very prepared, professional, helpful and kind person!

Friendly and amazing experience

Amazing experience with an amazing safari guide. Thank you Silas

Incredible experience with professional guides,best safaris ever in my life.

Nice Safari company

Excellent experience.I recommend visiting Mikumi Park with TanzAmericas. For two days we were able to discover the park and its animals (giraffes, buffalo, lions, elephants, antelopes ...) being almost alone in the park.Erick and Silas are two passionate guides. They went out of their way to ensure that we could see all the animals and share their knowledge with us.I also recommend going on a walking safari, which is another way to discover the savannah and its animals.Eric and Silas are reliable, attentive and have taken into account our constraints to offer us a tailor-made experience at the best price. I recommend contacting them for the organization of a Safari.

Amazing experience, Silas amazing guide, we had a day above all expectations, highly recommend!Amazing experinece, silas is the best guide you can find, we highly recommend to go to mikumi (or any other park) with him!

We benefited from the services of Silas for 3 days of safari. And it was magic!Silas is a fabulous guide, who knows the place and his profession perfectly, made us discover a lot of things about animals and was above all patient and smiling throughout.A big thank you to him for his availability, if I had to go on a safari again it would only be with him.Ps: Thanks for the ride into town after the safari to eat and drink at local places.

Wonderful Safari with Silas !!!Pick up from start to finish of the safari!We have spent a wonderful day in Mikumi Park! So happy to have been able to see the Lions because it doesnt happen every day there!We could also see Elephants, Giraffes, Wildebeests, Antelopes, Zebras ..Silas was with a French Rama guide, they are wonderful guides with whom we had a great day! They were so glad they gave us a good time! I recommend 100%

This safari was a unique moment. Silas is an exceptional guide with a great deal of knowledge about animals. He explains you throughout the adventure. He takes his time, helps us to take pretty pictures. We had a wonderful family time with 2 young children (3 and 5 years old). I recommend it with your eyes closed. Magnificent safari.

Silas was a very, very nice and good guide. We saw many animals and we were explained and told a lot about the respective animals

Many thanks to the Silas guide for a wonderful tour of the Mikumi National Park! He spoke in detail about all the animals, showed in the encyclopedia, was glad to answer any questions. Highly recommend!
