They listened to what we needed and then exceeded our expectations
My wife and I came looking for a very specific kind of safari, with a very specific budget, that would work for our family of two adults and two children. We had a lot of curiosity, a few languages between us, and a limited budget. Elly and Prisca helped us find exactly what we wanted within that budget, and then somehow exceeded our expectations.
What really stood out was how attentive they were to what we actually needed. For example, we hadn't mentioned beforehand that our children don't speak English. When Elly realized this, he arranged for us to have a German speaking guide throughout the safari. That made an enormous difference to our children and to the experience of the whole family. They also made sure that the meals worked for us and paid attention to countless little details along the way.
And their care didn't begin and end with the safari itself. Elly stayed in close contact with us throughout our time in Tanzania, making sure we reached our destinations and even helping us arrange transportation that had nothing to do with the safari, simply because he wanted to make sure we had the best possible visit.
Elly joined us whenever he could, and when he couldn't, he was always available to answer questions or help with whatever came up. Somehow he managed to be incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing. It felt a little like travelling with a dear friend who happened to be there whenever you needed him.
Organizing everything was easy and nothing felt stressful. We arranged our own accommodation, but the safari vehicle was great, the safari itself was a wonderful adventure for all four of us, and we felt we received excellent value for our money.
Most importantly, we had a great time. We came with quite specific wishes and a specific budget, and Manka listened to us and somehow gave us more than we had asked for.

Excellent service
We had a four day safari. Started with Tarangire, then two days in Serengeti and one day in Ngorongoro. We saw the big five and so much more. We had mid-range standard and the places we stayed, and must say …these were above expectations.
Manka made a perfect program for us, perfect service and information before the trip…but what impressed me the most were how Manka helped and had contact with the driver e.g when the rain season hit Serengeti and we almost got stucked. In such a situation it felt safe to have Manka who can safari, Africa and in person followed when we needed them the most. Well done.
I will come back to Serengeti and use Manka as my agent anytime!

Professional
I had a great time with Manka Safaris.
Everything was thoughtfully and well planned. They were good at communicating before, during and after the visit so there were no questions of doubt. The Safari speaks for itself, absolutely amazing (we were blown away by the amount of wildlife that we were able to interact with). Camping set-up was absolutely great, tents in the middle of the national parks with wildlife all around us. AND, we had the best tour guides in our car for our 4 day long safari, so kind and ackommodating!

Helpful, responsive, understanding
Elly and Prisca from Manka Safaris were great, they responded to all of my questions and tried their best to ease my worries as a first time safari booker and find solutions that were comfortable for everybody. They were available every time we needed them, even during weekends, they waited for us at the airport and also drove us back to the airport. And they also reserved for us the only flight back from Kilimanjaro airport that wasn't delayed because of heavy rainfall that evening. :)
We really enjoyed our first safari, we got to see a lot of animals up-close, the jeep was comfortable, we had water, juices and beer for the entire road trip. The only downside was that it was really hot the first day.
As a conclusion, I highly recommend Manka Safaris. We will be back for a safari in Serengeti. :)

Our guides were very good and funny, and explaining everything very well to us!
We had a great time at Safari through Mankq Safaris solutions! They were very helpful and with everything from start to finish. We chose a 3-day safari with Tarangire, Ngorogoro and Lake Maynara, and it was everything we hoped for! We saw so many animals up close, such as lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, cheetah, sebras and so much more! It was of great value for the money, specially with the budget solution. We hade nice breakfast, lunch and dinner included and tour guides who were very social, funny, and nice. I can really recommend using Manka Safari Solutions if you want an excellent safari experience with great guides, reliability and value for money!
