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.

Excellent in every sense!!!
We booked our holiday with a lot excitement and also a bit of apprehension as it our first trip to Africa. We had a wonderful experience from each member of the team,Ms Johari Msangi travel advisor ,Leonard our safari guide and the boss Jacob Mazingira.
We visited Tarangire, Olduvai museum, Ngorongoro and Serengeti.
Ngorongoro is a magical place where you see animals so close, the highlights were watching Rhinos and flamingos.
Serengeti is so vast and truly amazing, lots animals everywhere , lions, herds of elephants, zebras , hyenas, buffaloes , giraffes , baboons , hippos.
Wildebeest migration is truly an unimaginable spectacle!!!!!
We were lucky to watch a leopard eating it’s prey on the top of a tree and Cheetahs so close.
Balloon safari was fantastic!!!!
Travel lodges were very good.
We managed to do so many things in 9 days and our guide Leonard played big role in achieving that!!

Mazingira was really willing to make me happy!
We have been on 7 safaris before, so we have lots of experience about different safari organizers. This time we first climbed Kilimanjaro, then took a safari at Serengeti & Ngorongoro.
It was easy to plan safari with Mazingira, and all my questions were quickly replied. Despite all my questions I did not feel myself being difficoult at any moment.
I forgot to ask beforehand which car we would get, so I was pleasently surprised to have a really big Landcruiser for just two of us.
Our guide Leonard was very relaxed, experienced and reliable. He seemed easily find animals we wanted to see, and was good finding right spots for photography. He also made lodges to notice my vegetarian diet, and finally lunch food (boxes) was very good. I recommend to demand good quality from all kitchens, in Tanzania they can make really nice vegetarian food If asked.

Journey of our Livetimes!
What a Journey! We made the first part of our honeymoon with Mazingira Safari and had the experience of our lives. The contact with Johari was very good from the beginning, she is very nice and made as a custom tour through 3 different national parks. The accommodations the Company picked were outstanding beautiful and clean, we loved every Single minute of our stay. In difference to other companies where we requested an offer, Johari was the nicest one of all competitors and answered very quick and respectfully. Our driver, Thom, was outstanding friendly and is very experienced. He told us things about the animals, what they‘re going to do or where they will walk before it Even happend. Only because of His Knowledge and Patience we were able to See and capture the Most amazing photos and memories during our Trip. Thom also waited for More situations, when other drivers in the Park has leaved the scene, so Most of These amazing Moments we could enjoy Even alone or with maybe 1 or 2 other Cars. Thom knows everything about animals and the environment - ask him everything, he can always give you a detailed answer. His goal was to Start as strangers and end as friends, he sure achieved this goal. Also, he made this journey unforgettable. I can honestly recommend this company!
(P.s.: We’re germans and booked directly from germany without any problems. We always felt safe, secure and respected)

Awesome
From start to finish it was a truly a lifetime experience. Jojo was accommodating and explained our options and wanted to know if we required anything extra...dietary etc..
Leo our tour guide was professional, knowledgeable and always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. Can't say enough about Leo. Thank you so much. The resorts were unique and beautiful and fully accommodating minus alcoholic drinks. Wasn't a big deal we were pretty tired after a long day on safari. Overall Can't say enough about how much we loved our experience..Thank you....
