Outstanding experience! Highly recommend Maasai Wanderings!
5/5

Incredible!! Five stars, for five days of nonstop action and adventure with our family! We were exhausted and completely satisfied by the end, full of the most outstanding African memories we will have for the rest of our lives. We searched through many safari companies but none could compare with Maasai Wanderings; they are known by the community for being the best, and we experienced no less. Well communicative, reliable and great value for the money. Our guide Moody was personable, flexible, and all around a breeze to work with, taking us around the best spots where we viewed far more than we expected! Just check out the photos we included on their Google business page to see a small sample of what we saw. Highly recommended. Thank you!!

Great trip with super drivers.
5/5

I travelled in a family party of nine in two vehicles supplied by Maasai Wanderings on a six day safari in three different camps in Tanzania. The tour was superb but what really made it for us was the drivers. They were lovely people who joked and laughed with the family and I think they must have enjoyed the trip as much as we did. I do wonder how the tour would have been if the drivers had been less friendly, knowledgable and such fun. Not only were they nice to be with they were always on time and very reliable. Wilson 1 and Wilson 2 as they became known added to a lot to our safari which in every sense was a wonderful experience.

Brilliant!
5/5

Our Safari was fantastic, made even better by our guide Jamal, who was so knowledgeable about the area and where to get the best views and see all the animals. The excitement of having elephants walk right past the vehicle is something I can't explain, it's just magical.
The camps were amazing, you really get a feel of living amongst the wildlife. Food excellent and so much of it!
Camp staff were all friendly and welcoming and accommodation very impressive considering they are in the middle of nowhere, all with WiFi too!
If you are thinking about going on Safari just do it, you'll have the time of your life

Very Professional
5/5

Our family of 4 had the most unforgettable experience in Tanzania thanks in no small part to the Masai Wanderings who curated a mix of fine hotels and tented bush experience to give us varied experience in Tanzania. Special shout out to our guides Abu and Mohamed who made our games drives and overall experience even better with their in-depth experience about the best routes and animal behaviour which helped us predict their movements leading to some surreal moments.. they were extremely patient with our boys who threw all sorts of questions at them but they patiently answered all of them. The most unforgettable moment was when we had coffee watching the Serengeti sunset in a picnic setting outside the car right in the middle of the jungle.. was not sure if our kids would have the bandwidth to do a week of safari but to our pleasant surprise they were left asking for more..

Excellent communication, knowledgable guide, the best of the best!
5/5

We recently did a 6-day safari in Tanzania with Maasai Wanderings and it was the trip of a lifetime! Communication from the outset was fantastic when we were making enquiries - super responsive and they were able to work with all of our requests and put together the perfect private tour for my mum, brother and I. We explored Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Ndutu Lake conservation area, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide Abu was simply amazing - his knowledge of every animal, bird, tree and location was second to none, we saw everything and learned so much. Abu's driving skills were also impressive - from navigating deep mud tracks to bumpy national park roads - we knew we were in the safest hands (v.important since we had our 76 year old mum with us!). Not to mention the truck (and Abu himself) were immaculately presented at the beginning of each day (how he managed that in the back and beyond was a wonder!). The places we stayed each night varied, but all super comfortable with proper beds and en suite bathroom facilities, and each one had something special about it - not least the fabulous hospitality shown by all the staff at each lodge. We saw many other tour operators out on the road but had the distinct impression that we were with the best. Do not look elsewhere, book with Maasai Wanderings for your safari, you will not be disappointed. I cannot wait to come back!

Knowledgeable, caring and hard working
5/5

I would highly recommend this company. Their attention to detail and reliability was excellent from start to finish. Simon was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and put so much effort into ensuring that we had a great time.

Simon knew the reserves really well and this knowledge ensured that we saw all the animals that we could hope for on a trip like this.

He was careful in his driving which is difficult on the reserve paths and whenever we were out of the vehicle he advised on keeping safe. The breakfast and lunch boxes were always excellent with tablecloths!!!

Simon’s care went as far as ensuring that he did not leave the Serengeti until he knew that we were safely on our plane.

All in all this is an excellent company with top quality guides.

Kindest, most engaging tour guides ever.
5/5

We recently completed our Tanzanian safari through the Ngorogoro Crater, Lake Manyara and North Serengeti for our honeymoon. We're just writing to sincerely thank everyone involved at the Plantation lodge for making our trip such an exceptional experience. They met us with some juice and were able to give us an upgrade for our honeymoon! All the staff were so attentive, friendly, helpful and every single other positive adjective possible.

In particular, we really want to acknowledge our guide - Yunus. Yunus picked us up from the airport, took us around the Crater, Lake Manyara and facilitated our cultural exploration day. He was extremely kind, friendly and was always giving us cool historical facts about every place we went through. His driving got us to see an incredible leopard in Lake Manyara, and his enthusiasm for every animal was extremely infectious.

We've recently returned to life and find ourselves missing Tanzania and the team every day.

I have travelled with Maasai Wanderings twice and both times I have been extremely pleased with the service & experience. They are very responsive and our trips were all impeccably organized. The guides they use are excellent, ethics and enthusiastic, and they also have very good and well-maintained vehicles. Highly recommended!

Excellent guide for first safari
5/5

Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro was the first stop on my Wife and I's honeymoon, and it did not disappoint. This is in large thanks to our guide Oltesh, an experienced guide who was born in the region in a Maasai village. He provided incredible insights on the animals, communities, and history of the area that enriched our entire safari experience, all while having fun during a few rainstorms and early mornings. We highly recommend taking a safari with Oltesh!
