Outstanding: very responsive, terrific guide, superb value, a dream come true!
5/5

My wife and I went on a 12-day safari to northern Tanzania with Massawe Adventures in February 2024. Our holiday included 2 to 3 days each in 4 locations: Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Ndutu and Serengeti National Park.

We had several key priorities:
a. to photograph the wildlife we saw, and to spend as long as it took to get “the shot”;
b. to see as many of the key animals as possible, with cheetahs especially important;
c. to see as many birds as possible.

Due to our specific requirements – and in particular our keenness to spend as long as we needed observing and photographing particular animals and birds - we decided not to join a group, but rather for the two of us to travel with our own guide/driver.

Idda, who organised the whole trip for us, was extremely responsive to our requirements: she recommended great safari lodges; made sure that our dietary and other requirements were met; and suggested a perfect itinerary. She chose Temba as our guide because his knowledge and enthusiasm for birds was outstanding. He was an ideal guide: very knowledgeable and informative, a very easygoing and amusing companion, and with a quite uncanny ability to spot animals at great distance, resulting every day in sights we couldn't have have dreamed of spotting without him.

One unforgettable highlight was witnessing a cheetah making a kill. Temba saw it from a considerable distance, and instinctively knew it was about to chase down a small group of Thompson's gazelle. No amount of documentary footage could prepare us for the thrill of seeing this breathtaking creature accelerate so fast the antelopes it was chasing looked like they were strolling in the park! Seconds later it had made a kill, and we were able to see it guarding its kill.

We planned every detail of our trip in close conjunction with Idda, who booked all our accommodation, flights etc. Nothing we requested was too much trouble, down to buying the precise quantity of kidney beans needed to fill our photographic bean bag!

I don't have adequate words to express how wonderful Idda, Temba and Massawe Adventures made this trip: I can't imagine how it could have been bettered, and I would recommend this company in the highest terms if you want to experience the most satisfying safari possible.

Professional and Caring
5/5

Before the journey began, Massawe demonstrated their attentive service by patiently answering every inquiry, easing our apprehensions about the trip. The provision of water and food during the journey was also crucial support for us. Julius, as a safari guide, was extremely professional in spotting animals. He enabled us to see many lions, elephants, and wildebeest migrations, as well as cheetah hunts, among other sights. Additionally, he provided expert commentary on the types and behaviors of animals throughout our journey.

Excellent
5/5

Massawe, a family-run business with siblings operating both in Tanzania and the UK, truly offers a seamless service. Throughout the planning stages and even during our holiday, they were readily available on WhatsApp, ensuring every detail of our trip was meticulously arranged. Julius, our guide and driver, stood out remarkably. His exceptional driving skills provided a sense of security during our long journeys, navigating through challenging terrain with ease. Julius's infectious smile greeted us at every turn, whether it was at the crack of dawn or after a long 12-hour day exploring. His talent for spotting wildlife, including lions hidden in the tall grass from great distances, was truly remarkable. Furthermore, his captivating stories of previous safari experiences added depth to our journey, making it even more memorable. Massawe's commitment to exceptional service, coupled with Julius's professionalism and warmth, made our holiday in Tanzania an unforgettable experience. We look forward to returning and experiencing more of what Massawe has to offer.

One of my fav trips
5/5

I decided to choose Massawe Adventures because all of my questions were answered by Idda with patience. She replied my emails really quick and worked during weekends to check accommodation availability. She was nicer and more understanding than other agencies' managers. She took care of us in every aspects to make sure we have a safe and happy trip. Our trip was amazing and I would say it was one of my fav. Our guide Julius is a decent and caring man. We had a lot of happy conversations with him and he always met our needs. We saw incredible hunting scenes and cute animals just in front of us. He also followed rules to give the animal a peace and undisturbed environment because he loved them from the deep of his heart. (we saw some irresponsible guide went too close to animals when animals were hunting) It was lovely to meet him and he made our Safari memory unforgettable. Thank you Massawe Adventures and I hope more people can know this amazing agency!

Super responsive and willing to go the extra mile
5/5

Being a family run business, with siblings on the ground in both Tanzania and the UK working together, Massawe offer a truly seamless service. They were available almost 24/7 on WhatsApp to help with any issues from the stage of planning the itinerary to needing to make changes while we were on holiday. Our guide and driver, Temba, was exceptional. He was a very good driver, which made us feel safe during the long drives, which were sometimes on very bumpy and muddy roads. He always had a smile on his face, whether it was at 6am or at the end of a long 12h day. He also had the amazing ability of being able to spot a lion in the long grass hundreds of metres away, all while driving! We also loved his stories of previous safari experiences he had had.
