Superb safari experience
Communication: the team at Mazingira, led by Miss Johari, is extremely responsive. She was always quick to respond to our inquiries and address last minute requests.
Accommodations: the hotels that Miss Johari chose, were comfortable, clean and set in beautiful surroundings. The service and food were quite good.
Game drives: we can’t imagine having had a better guide and driver than Solomon. He was amazing at spotting, wild life and an excellent navigator, who kept us out of thick, sticky mud time after time. We got great shots of wild variety of animals, including all three big cats. The van itself was well-maintained, uncomfortable, and was cleaned every night for a fresh start in the morning.
We will be recommending Mazingira safari us to all of our friends and family.
Good
Mazingira safari experience was good. The driver/guide Solomon was excellent, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Lodging and boarding arrangements were also very good. My only concern was the scheduling of the safari that seem to involve lengthy traveses of the same road multiple times. For example, we spent about two hours each time traversing the Ngorongoro rim on four different occasions during the safari. This seemed to be unnecessarily time consuming, tiring, and extra driving. Ms. Johari was very helpful. Thank you.

Lucky to have found them!
As a frequent traveler this was my first trip to Africa. Finding Mazingira Safaris was pure luck. After going back and forth with various tour
companies, I got the best feeling from Johari at Mazingira. She was responsive and seemed to understand the trip I was looking for.
David picked us up at the airport and was our personal guide for our safari. He knew what he was doing, made sure we saw what we came to see, and got us back to the airport in one piece. No hesitation in recommending Mazingira!

Had a wonderful time touring Tanzania's Serengeti NP with Mazingira!
We had a fascinating trip covering the whole of Serengeti and the surrounding interesting areas with our Mazingira travel arrangements. Our driver cum guide Simon was determined to show us all exciting happenings in this Animal world. We saw the migration at least three times and saw the big cats and hundreds and thousands of zebras, wilderbeasts. Elephants were always an exciting experience and giraffes and other numerous animal life were all there in their habitats. The driving was exciting and the camps we stayed, comfortable and welcoming. Our contact person JohariMsangi was always ready and prompt attending to all our queries and facilitating our trip. All in all, we had a wonderful trip.

Very friendly and professional communication and fair pricing.
We contacted Mazingira via Email due to the very good recommendations. We received feedback very soon with a very good offer for a safari. The contact with Johari was very friendly, answering all questions and giving good advices. We paid in advance and did not feel uncomfortable at all, since we received all necessary receipts right away. The tour was organized very good. Compared to other tour guide, David was behaving very fair when it cam to game watching and it was crowded due to other cars. He explained a lot to us.

Knowledgable, engaging, and amazingly talented at finding animals we never would have seen!
My college friends and I had a fantastic experience with Mazingira, and would recommend using them to anyone. Our guide Boniface was so informative and amazing at finding animals we never would have seen without his sharp eyes and talent. Value for money was excellent, and we were very pleased with hotel choices providing excellent food, comfortable beds and additional amenities such as a swimming pool to take a dip in after a long day of safari. Going on safari is a once in an lifetime experience, and Mazingira is a wonderful company to go on safari with!

He was knowledgeable, experienced, and very friendly
We had an amazing time with Mazingira. Our guide was enthusiastic and knew so much about the local wildlife; the overall operation of the company was also very reliable. We had one member of our party get sick and miss a day, and they were willing to accommodate her to meet the next day so she could rejoin. The food was excellent, accommodations were lovely, and everyone we interacted with was helpful and kind.

They are Amazing
We had the most amazing experience. Mazingira are a small local company and well known in the local area. Johari was the person who put together our itinerary. We landed in Kilimanjaro where the driver Leonard was waiting for us. Leonard was our driver and guide during our Safari in Tanzania. He was excellent and very knowledgeable which made our Safari the best experience ever.
The only small difficulty was paying for the Safari which we had to do before we left. The bank details on the website did not match the bank details given to us by email so the bank was very reluctant to pay which made us apprehensive. But everything was perfect.
Mazingira is the owner of the company and personally welcomed us on the first day. During our stay we went to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater which was awesome, Olduvai visit also amazing, Serengeti National Park where we encountered animals up close. The Balloon ride over the Serengeti and then breakfast actually in Serengeti was very surreal and such a wonderful experience. Highly recommended. Thank you Johari for putting together the most amazing holiday. All 4 of us had the best time ever. Hopefully I can add some photos to this feedback . Thank you all again Shaila

Our tour guide went above and beyond!
We had an amazing experience with Mazingira safaris, from start to finish. Johari was quick to respond to messages while we were booking and setting up logistics. She took the time to meet us in person before the Safari and even brought personalized water bottles! Our guide, Boniface was wonderful. He was flexible with trying to help us see the animals we wanted to see and timing of our days. Both the lodging and food exceeded expectations. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would recommend Mazingira Safaris to anyone.
