Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari with James
We recently did a 9 day safari with Msangai for our Honeymoon with James which was simply amazing and unforgettable.
The booking experience with Zee was great, he was very knowledgable and responsive, and even helped arrange our hot air balloon, internal transport and subsequent week with scuba diving in Zanzibar. On the ground we were in touch with Eric, who was also able to rearrange our flight to Zanzibar when we spotted an issue.
The safari itself was incredible, with James' help we saw all the big 5, the migration (wildebeest, zebras and giraffes!!) and so much more! He was incredible throughout and so knowledgable. We were also very happy with the lodges and camps throughout (special mention for Kiriche, Osiligilai and Kankari Lodge!!) which also prepared us a delicious hot lunch for the following day.
Asante Sana James na Msangai Adventure, hopefully we will see you again soon.

Amazing experience above all expectations
We really enjoyed our 4 day safari experience. Me and my friend booked the mid-range package and we both agree that the accommodations were well above expectations. Food was great and everything was taken care of. The safari itself was an amazing experience. We felt very safe and our guide was very experienced and knew answers to all of our questions about the wildlife. Would totally recommend booking with Msangai! Very trustworthy company, great communication and overall we are just very happy with our decision to book with them.

Professional, fun and Safari experts
Our 5 night 6 day Safari (for my honeymoon) with Msangai was beyond incredible. I cannot recommend Msangai enough. I found Msangai through TikTok (Claire & Peter did a Safari, I recommend looking at their videos, it gives a great feel for the Safari). I looked at 10 Safari operators and was really impressed by Zee's knowledge during the booking process. He was the only person to proactively suggest including northern Serengeti, which was our favorite part of the trip. His suggestion for the Untamed Lodge was great. Msangai provides a good balance between value, expertise and quality. Once we booked the trip, Eric was very responsive to questions and in communicating our itinerary. He picked us up at the Arusha airport and is a great guy
Our driver and lifelong friend, Emmanuel, was phenomenal and an absolute pleasure to be with! I cannot recommend Emmanuel enough. His driving skills are unmatched. He's very knowledgable and took time to point out hard to see things and explain the parks and the animals. Going in the Safari crusier was so much fun. Also, the food is pretty much all inclusive and lunches were provided each day as we drove on Safari. Long story short, request Emmanuel, you will not regret it, he is such an amazing person and a Safari expert!
Also, the lodges were top notch. We stayed at Ngorongoro Manera Mountain View Lodge, Serengeti Sound of Nature, Untamed Migration Camps in Northern Serengeti and Farm of Dreams. All were phenomenal, the service and people at Serengeti Sound of Nature went above and beyond. The food was good at all the lodges. I highly recommend all these lodges - I'd just tell Zee that you want these on your trip.
One last thing. Msangai made the honeymoon very special. They had a Just Married tire cover on the back, they communicated with all the lodges that it was our honeymoon. I appreciate them communicating this with the lodges, as every night was special.
All in all, I highly, highly recommend Msangai. They have very fair prices, are incredibly knowledgable, very communicative, professional and are Safari experts! Emmanuel is the man, best Safari guide ever, request him, you will be thanking yourself for doing so!

Best experience
We did a 7 day safari to the Serengeti and had such a great time. We chose the mid-range option and the lodges were fantastic. We loved the camps in the Serengeti as you’re completely immersed in nature. Eric was great at helping tailor our itinerary and was very responsive. Our guide Godi was also awesome - he was kind, knowledgeable and great at spotting animals. Overall, we had a trip of a lifetime and would highly recommend Msangai and Godi as your guide!

An unforgettable experience
We had the most amazing trip with Msangai - we did the 5 night 6 day migration tour into the northern Serengeti.
Msangai were very helpful and accommodating from the start of the booking process all the way through. Our guide Emmanuel was very knowledgeable and kind, and went out of his way to make sure we got the most out of our trip, working really hard all week to find animals in the bush!
Eric was also an amazing resource in the office, and helped us plan our accommodation, onward travel and airport transfers on either side of the trip, making our experience stress free and relaxing.
The accommodation and food were all beyond our expectations. All staff across the week were very kind and hospitable. Staying in the tented camps was a particular highlight of the trip, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the wildlife of the Serengeti whilst still enjoying some luxury home comforts.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, definitely book with Msangai! Thank you to Emmanuel, Eric and Zee for all your help in organising a once in a lifetime trip!! :)

Unforgettable Safari Experience in Tarangire, Ngorongoro & Lake Manyara
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
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.

Super knowledgeable and organised
This was my 2nd trip with Msangai adventures. Slightly different trip as we also brought our golf clubs!
Again had the most unforgettable experience with Msangai Adventures, and I can’t recommend them enough! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, making the trip seamless and full of adventure.
Our journey began with a visit to Serval Wildlife Park, where we had the chance to get up close with incredible animals in a safe and natural environment. It was both educational and exciting!
We also got to play Kilimanjaro Golf & Wildlife Estate twice, against the stunning backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru. The course itself was a great design and good challenge with spectacular views and wildlife.
Another highlight was exploring Arusha National Park, a hidden gem with diverse landscapes—from lush forests to open plains—where we spotted giraffes, zebras, and so much more. The guides were knowledgeable and passionate, sharing insights that brought the park to life.
Accommodation was top-notch at Kili Seasons Lodge, where comfort and warm hospitality made us feel right at home. After days full of adventure, it was the perfect retreat to relax and recharge.
To top it all off, we ended our stay with an evening at one of Arusha’s rooftop bars, enjoying breathtaking views over the city as the sun set behind the mountains—a magical way to wrap up the trip.
We managed to fit this all in, in 3 days! Msangai Adventures exceeded our expectations again in every way: professional, attentive, and truly committed to creating memorable experiences. If you’re looking for a blend of adventure, relaxation, and world-class service in Tanzania, they are the team to go with!

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