Unforgettable Safari Experience in Tarangire, Ngorongoro & Lake Manyara
5/5

We had a wonderful 3-day safari with Msangai Adventure Safaris, exploring Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. Our guide Godlizen was truly exceptional. He drove safely and with great care, and was always attentive to our questions and interests. He had a great sense for spotting wildlife, which made the experience truly special. The communication with Zee and Eric before the trip was quick and very helpful. Compared to other safari providers, the value for money was outstanding.

We can highly recommend Msangai Adventure Safaris – and next time, we will definitely come back for a safari in the Serengeti! Thank you for everything!

Amazing experience for safari lovers
5/5

Our 2-day safari with Msangai Adventure Safaris in October 2023 was unforgettable. The team was professional, the vehicle comfortable, and the guide went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience. We spotted so many animals and learned a lot about the parks. Everything ran smoothly, and we truly enjoyed every moment.

Very Knowledgeable about the vast area of Tanzania and all the animals, oraganised and friendly
5/5

I had the privilege of experiencing a safari with Msangai Adventures in Ngorongoro and Nkaiti, it was truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, the team was professional, warm, and attentive, making sure every detail of the journey was perfectly arranged.

Our guide was not only highly knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystems but also incredibly passionate about conservation and local culture. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to spot the Big Five and so many other animals up close, all while learning fascinating facts about their behavior and habitats.

The safari vehicle was comfortable, well-equipped, and ideal for photography. What really stood out was the personalized touch—Msangai Adventures made us feel like more than just tourists, they made us feel like part of a family exploring the beauty of Tanzania together.

The Ngorongoro Crater itself is breathtaking, but experiencing it with a company that values quality service, safety, and authenticity elevated the entire trip.

I would highly recommend Msangai Adventures to anyone looking for a genuine, memorable, and enriching safari experience in Ngorongoro and beyond. They exceeded all my expectations, and I will definitely book with them again in the future.

I recommend you do not book!

I booked a 3-day safari with Msangai Safaris with my spouse, and unfortunately our experience fell far short of what was promised.
• Missed game drives: The first day had no proper game drive or lunch, and the second day was largely lost due to delays and the guide being absent for over 2.5 hours at Kogatende airstrip. The only meaningful game drive happened on the final morning, and only after concerns were raised directly with the company.
• Unsafe, unfit vehicle: The guide’s car was an old open model that repeatedly broke down, including a muffler failure that left us stuck on the road. At one point, we were taken to a garage during game drive hours.
• Professional concerns: The guide admitted he could not reliably manage the vehicle and attempted to borrow a relative’s car. There was minimal concern for safety or the quality of the safari experience.
• Broken promises: Binoculars that were confirmed in writing were never provided.

While lodges, flights, and the hot air balloon were delivered, the core safari experience — the main reason for booking — was significantly disrupted. The company issued a partial refund of USD 1,250, but this only covered a small portion of the losses.

Update: After posting the review, the owner asked us to remove it, claiming one bad experience shouldn’t reflect their company. This was our one and only experience — and it was severely disrupted. It’s important to leave this review so future travelers can make informed decisions.

Additionally, while the wildebeest migration was impressive, our car arrived last, we were stuck in the back, and the driver could not get us closer. The company’s marketing implies an “unforgettable safari experience,” but in reality, this was not delivered

Extremely Disappointing & Unsafe Safari Experience – Do Not Recommend
1/5

UPDATE: After posting my review, the owner asked me to take it down because “one bad experience doesn’t reflect his company.” But this was my one and only experience and it was robbed from me. That alone should tell you something about this company handles dissatisfied guests.

Also, notice how tactical the company is in their response: they claim they gave me a “full refund.” In reality, it was USD 1,250, which is less than a quarter of what I paid, and only covered one disrupted day. The failures on Day 1 and the overall safari experience were never properly compensated. Calling that a “full refund” is misleading at best.

Yes, I saw the wildebeest crossing, but let’s be clear, hundreds of guides bring guests there daily during this migration season. There was nothing exclusive about this being provided by Msangai. Our car was one of the last to arrive, we were stuck in the back, and the driver wasn’t even able to get us closer. This company did nothing special to deliver an “unforgettable safari experience”, despite how they market themselves.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I paid over USD 5,000 for a 3-day safari with Msangai Tours, and what I received was nothing close to what was promised. The trip was poorly organized, unsafe, and deeply disappointing.

Key issues:
• Missed game drives: Day 1 had no proper drive, just a transfer to the lodge. Day 2 was largely wasted due to delays and breakdowns.
• Abandonment: Left for 2.5 hours at Kogatende airstrip with no guide, no communication, and no safe transport.
• Unsafe, unfit vehicle: Given an old open vehicle (never disclosed beforehand) that broke down repeatedly, including a muffler failure that left us blocking traffic.
• Garage stop during safari: Instead of a game drive, we were taken to a garage while the car was being fixed – unacceptable for paying clients.
• Broken promises: Binoculars, a basic safari necessity, were promised but never provided.
• Unprofessional guiding: The guide admitted his car was failing, tried to borrow a relative’s, and showed little concern for safety or experience.

Yes, the lodges were fine and the hot air balloon was enjoyable (booked through another operator), but the safari itself was essentially undelivered.

I did eventually receive a small partial refund of $1250, but it does not make up for the wasted time, stress, and lost experience.

Bottom line: If you are considering booking with Msangai Tours, I strongly advise against it. There are many other operators in Tanzania who deliver safe, professional, and reliable safaris.
