Peaceful 4 days exploring in Tanzania.
4 days with my family safari in Tanzania with a professional Tanzanian local tour organizer Herbivore African Expeditions.
Our starting 4-day luxury lodge safari with a gentle morning drive into Lake Manyara felt like easing into something extraordinary. The park's mix of water, forest, and open areas created a beautiful introduction to the journey. We were thrilled when we spotted flamingos lining the lake's edge and elephants appearing between the trees. That afternoon, we reached our lodge, which offered stunning views and warm hospitality. Relaxing on the terrace before dinner quickly became one of our favorite rituals. The next day took us to the Ngorongoro Crater, where the landscape shifted dramatically. Tarangire provided a completely different feel-wide open landscapes, ancient baobabs, and some of the biggest elephant herds we’ve ever seen. We spent the final evening watching the sun melt into the horizon while animals moved below us. The entire experience blended tranquility, excitement, and luxury beautifully. Really it was the best experience for our kids and they were very satisfied with our very experienced guide Clinton Cliff.

This 6 day trek via Machame Route gave us memories for a lifetime
Our six-day ascent of Kilimanjaro via the Machame Route was a mix of physical challenge and very emotional journey with HERBIVORE AFRICAN SAFARIS.
The route offers so much variety that every day feels fresh and full of discovery. We started in lush rainforest, where the air was warm and filled with the scent of vegetation, then gradually transitioned into rocky paths and wide-open landscapes that stretched toward the clouds. Our guide was a fantastic hiker, he always inspired us and said slowly slowly. And the porters were patient and they always smiled and motivated us with humor and encouragement.
Camps became small oases where we could rest, share stories, and enjoy surprisingly delicious meals after long hours on the trail. The final ascent under the night sky tested our stamina, but the quiet determination in the group made a huge difference. Reaching Uhuru Peak as the morning light touched the glaciers felt almost unreal. The sense of accomplishment was overwhelming, a mix of relief and pride. The mountain humbled us, challenged us, and rewarded us with a sense of fulfillment that will stay with us forever.

Simon was the best!
I took a 7 day safari exploring Tarangire NP, the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti. Herbivore Expeditions made my first safari one of the best experiences of my life! Simon took such good care of my group through out the entire trip. He was excellent with all the logistics and communications. His knowledge of the terrain and where to find animals was amazing. His local staff shared the same expertise. Simon and his staff were also so personable and accommodating. I was with a private group of 7 staying in luxury lodging. This trip was definitely an excellent value for the money. All the lodging was clean, comfortable with a very authentic charm. It was a plus for me to be able to support a local Tanzanian business.

Our safari was indulgent, seamless, and full of wonder.
We just got back from our 10 days classic luxury journey in Tanzania with Herbivore African Expeditions, and honestly, we're convinced we were living our best lives out there. We explored Tarengire National Park, Serengeti National Park and the legendary Ngorongoro Crater.
We started at Tarengire National Park. Our guide was fantastic knowledgeable about wildlife, he explained very much about animals behavior. Then Serengeti game drives were basically a nonstop game of spot that animal, and . We saw elephants doing chaotic elephant things, zebras blocking the road like traffic cops, and hippos who looked constantly annoyed with us. Ngorongoro our last stop. We saw the Big Five without rushing, with a guide who truly cared about wildlife and our experience. Herbivore African Expeditions made our whole journey very comfortable and amazing.

The 3 safari we felt seamless and incredibly special.
Our group of friends just returned from the most extraordinary 3-day luxury safari adventure in Tanzania, and we are still speechless with Herbivore African Expeditions. We were first explored as Tarangire, where giant baobab trees and endless herds of elephants made us feel like we had stepped into a nature documentary. Our guide was very knowledgeable and attentive. All arrangements were perfect, every meal delicious. The journey continued to the legendary Ngorongoro Crater, a place so breathtaking it hardly seems real. Watching lions, rhinos, and playful zebras all sharing the same vast basin was a highlight we will never forget.

Perfect 7 days safari in Tanzania
Our 7 days Tanzania safari with Herbivore African Expeditions and it was beautiful and cool experience. Everything was beautifully organized by Herbivore team. We explored Tarengire , Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
We started at Tarengire National Park. Tarangire welcomed us with its majestic baobab trees and incredible elephant herds. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about wildlife- he made sure we didn’t miss a single detail about the animal. We were very excited when we arrived in Serengeti. Serengeti gave us magical sightings of lions, cheetahs, and even a leopard resting in a tree. Lastly we explored the legendary Ngorongoro Crater and we felt were another world. It's nature beauty and wildlife mind blowing views. It was our genuine, immersive safari in Tanzania. Thank you Herbivore African Expeditions for made our safari memorable.

Unforgettable safari adventures with expert guides, wildlife encounters, and authentic culture!
Our safari with Herbivore Expeditions was absolutely unforgettable! From the very beginning, everything was so well organized. Our guide Simon was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and the land, which made the entire experience even more special.
We were amazed by how close we were able to get to the animals while still respecting their natural space. Each game drive was unique and exciting, and we learned so much along the way. The accommodations and meals exceeded our expectations, and I always felt safe and cared for.
If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience, we couldn’t recommend Herbivore Expeditions more highly. They truly went above and beyond to make our trip magical, & we'll treasure these memories forever!

MJ: The Beauty of Africa shines through his expressions, his expertise, and his knowledge!
Simon Mwakajumba radiates the joy of Tanzania! You can’t help but smile when you are around him and embrace the love for his beautiful country! His skill and ability to expose you to vast landscapes, experiences, and culture makes for a truly wonderful vacation.
Our time together consisted of a personalized experience hiking on Mount Kilimanjaro, learning about Maasai tribes, and embracing the wonders of seeing animals in their natural environment in Tarangiri National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti National Park. MJ handled all the details of my journey helping to create an amazingly stress-free experience from start to finish!
MJ’s knowledge about all aspects of the African bush is mind-blowing! He willingly shares amazing facts along the way, allows plenty of time for observation of the animals (whether it be with binoculars or photos), navigates the maze of bumpy roads with care and concern of his passengers, and always fills each day with so much happiness!
No matter how many times MJ has spotted the animals, he always exudes pure amazement for his guest; making our experience truly magical! Not only can you call MJ an amazing guide, but also a true friend!
Thank you Herbivore African Expeditions for your professionalism and such amazing memories that will last a lifetime!

The epitome of hospitality
When we arrived in Tanzania at 5 am Simon aka MJ greeted the three of us; my Daughter Jen , my wife Donna and Myself . Simon was the epitome of hospitality. He invited me to sit in the front of the Safari vehicle . From there our relationship grew with every slow mile he drove , road conditions are not a strength in Tanzania .
MJ now , became our most accessible source of insight .
We were never intimidated nor concerned about our questions directed to him . His responses were comprehensive, but not overly so . We learned an endless amount about the African wildlife and people from MJ .
Sadly the adventure required we part company as Kenya was our next stop . MJ left all of us with priceless memories . Our lives were enhanced thru our relationship .
MJ thank you very much!
