Okay
Firstly I had an amazing time on safari, the food and accommodation was great along with the activities we did. However the organisation of the tour was poor. There was multiple times where we were an hour late leaving. When paying to be on safari, personally I want to leave on time to spend the most time in the national parks as possible. The communication was also poor, I had to ask to know what was going on and wasn’t informed unless I asked. My itinerary changed many times so I couldn’t follow it . I cannot fault the people, they were all so lovely and friendly (especially Julieth). However, due to the efficiency and communication I would not use this company again.

Splendid Safari and Materuni Village coffee tour
I did the 4 day Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire safari with Jambo Massai. They were extremely polite, responsive and cooperative from the very beginning when I was looking at options and planning my trip. They had the most competitive quote fir lodge stays and service was equally great. At the end if the safari I made a sudden plan to include the Matueruni village coffee tour and coffee experience to my plan and They made it happen. The additional quote was again made to fit my budget. A visit to Massai Boma on the way was also arranged very efficiently. The safari guide Lawrence was very polite and knowledgeable. The car drive GodBless, the travel organiser Julieth and the tour manager Rafael were all a delight to talk to. They went over and beyond to make my a solo traveller feel comfortable and happy. Id definitely recommend JamboMassai tour operator to everyone.

Professional, reliable, and well-organized, creating unforgettable experiences.
We had an amazing safari and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
From the very beginning, Julieth, who I was in contact with from the UK, was so helpful. She answered all my questions (and I had many!), kept me updated throughout the booking process, and made everything really straightforward. It was so reassuring knowing everything had been organised before we arrived. She is honestly one of the most patient people I’ve ever dealt with. Thank you so much!
A huge thank you also to our driver and guide, Kelvin. He was fantastic throughout the trip, friendly, knowledgeable, and always seemed to know exactly where to go to give us the best chance of seeing wildlife. We never felt rushed, he made sure we were comfortable, and he shared lots of interesting information along the way. Thanks to him, we saw so many incredible animals, including the Big Five. He was also an incredibly safe driver, which made us feel completely at ease throughout the safari.
Everything ran smoothly, from the accommodation and food to the daily organisation. It was clear that Jambo Masai Tours is professional, reliable, well organised, and provides excellent service.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Thank you, Julieth, Kelvin, and everyone at Jambo Masai Tours for helping make it such a memorable trip!

Good company for first time safari
Jambo Masai and Raphael in particular were instrumental in giving me the confidence and reassurance to come to Tanzania on safari. The excellent communication with Raphael felt reassuring, professional and comforting. I can’t exactly comment on how a safari with them would have been as I was a solo traveller and got placed with a partner company, Travel Africa, who were amazing and Serengeti Safari. I had a different group to venture out with each day, which is OK if you don’t mind that but not exactly how I thought it would be. Although having new guides and jeeps each day, I knew behind the scenes Jambo Masai were making sure all my transfers went to plan. I especially liked staying at the Karibu Lodge. I liked Tarangire and saw lots of animals and Nogorogoro was spectacular! Lake Manyara was OK. The Masai village tour was OK but I felt a bit pressured into buying things from their village at a mega high price.
The guides from the other companies were fantastic and they made it really special.
Would recommend!

Very professional service, and very good communication
The safari was excellent, I've joined and amazing group of 5 people and we were guided by a very professional and knowledgeable driver. I had everything we asked for at all times during our safari. I also had very good communication with the agency, and they offered good flexibility in adapting schedule, accommodation, itinerary... 100% satisfied with the experience and the service!

Trip of a lifetime
Our safari trip in the central Serengeti and ngorongoro crater with jambo masai tours was an absolute dream come true. We visited as part of our honeymoon and we feel so privileged to have had this experience.
From our initial booking, we had excellent communication from the team updating us regularly and answering any questions we had. There was changes to our accommodation due to renovations however this was all explained and didn’t effect our trip at all.
The whole trip was incredible value for money compared to other companies we had enquired with and we definitely did not feel there was anything missing.
We had transport arranged from our hotel to Zanzibar airport where we then flew to Arusha to board a tiny plane to the Serengeti (seronera airstrip). The small plane was such an experience, we saw giraffes whilst landing at one of the stops which really started our safari off on a high. We were then collected in our safari vehicle which transported us throughout our safari and took us to Arusha airport at the end of our trip for our flight home.
Our accomadation was amazing especially safari heaven. Being right among the animals in the Serengeti was such a beautiful surreal experience and one of the highlights of our trips was lying in bed hearing the hyenas calling just outside.
Our guide Isaya (Isaih) was just the loveliest guide we could have asked for. He really made our trip. He was so friendly and kind and so incredibly knowledgable about the areas we visited on safari and all the animals. We learned so much from him. Couldn’t imagine our trip without him. Thanks to Isaya’s knowledge and experience we had so many amazing encounters with so many animals and he made sure we seen everything we wanted to prioritise. For us it was elephants and lions and we fortunately seen both several times. Please pass on our gratitude to him again.
We also booked a hot air balloon ride as part of our package. I don’t think I will ever be able to get over how utterly magical this was. Flying in a hot air balloon seeing all the animals below was so special and definitely the highlight of our trip.
We already are wishing to come back one day maybe with our children when they are a bit older and wouldnt hesitate to book with jambo again. We will be recommending jambo masai tours to all our friends and family.
Thank you so much for giving us a trip to remember forever

It was my unforgettable moment!
It was great that we could see all of the Big Five animals. Also, I appreciated that transportation from Moshi to Arusha was provided.
Our driver, Joel, had a lot of historical knowledge, so the ride from Moshi to Arusha was really interesting.
It was also easy to communicate with them because they replied very quickly.

Joel was the kind of guide every traveler hopes to get, attentive, patient genuine and knowledgeable
If you’re doing the Materuni Waterfall, coffee tour, or Maasai village tour, definitely ask for Joel…one solid guy. Professional, knowledgeable, down to earth, and genuinely made the whole experience better from start to finish. We laughed the whole day, I learned a lot, and he always made sure I was good, even helping me through slippery areas and making me a walking stick on the spot. The coffee tour and Maasai village experience both felt authentic, fun, and enlightening. Also shoutout to this kid called “Paparazzi” for the amazing photos and slow motion videos.

An amazing experience with an extra touch!
The tour went right as it was planned. The operator was always available for questions, both prior to the safari and even during the trip. The lodge was amazing and the service at the tented lodge was impeccable and engaged. But the one thing that made this safari a once-in a lifetime experience was our ranger Ruben. He had great knowledge about the country and the wildlife and a lot of experience, which came at hand when a thunderstorm was coming up. Moreover he was kind and had a great network which made him find a lot of animals that otherwise are hard to see. He was an amazing guide and made such a big difference. We will definitely recommend Jambo Masai Tours to our family and friends!
