Great Experience
We loved the experience, above all thanks to the ability of our guide Bryson to spot wildlife. One of the best trips we have had.

Unforgettable experience!
5 day Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara -Camping.
(Two 19 year olds)
Ilmaasia were happy to collect us from our hotel in central Arusha . Our driver (Bryson) greeted us and we were taken to the office to meet Loth and complete the necessary paperwork, he was helpful and reassuring.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable even on the drive to the first national park he was happy to answer any questions we had about Tanzania and local culture.
We then had the most amazing 5 days exploring Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara we saw all the big 5 and had many unforgettable moments.
Our chef really delivered at no moment we're we left Hungry and the quality of food was surprising due to the basic facilities at some of the campsites.
On 2 of our 4 nights we were put up at the panorama campsite, looking over lake Manyara we had a room and all of the facilities we desired. The other 2 nights were spent camping in the heart of the Serengeti and the top of the Ngorongoro Crator . We were lucky enough to see elephants as they walked through our campsite!!!
After our safari we had 5 days exploring Arusha . Our guide was extremely helpful giving us recommendations on things to do locally.
In the future we would definitely use ilmaasia for our safaris . The good price, amazing experience and great guide and chef highlighted our trips, we were sad to say goodbye!
Excellent Safari to Ngorongoro Crater
Being surrounded by many people who were offering tours to us (which was really stressful) we noticed Loth K. Msechu who was very friendly and calm. Together with him we came up with a fair contract that was fulfilled to our greatest content during the trip. Our guide Godson was very friendly, funny and taught us a lot about plants, animals and people living in Tanzania. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. We highly recommend Ilmaasai Expedition!
Ngorongoro, Tarangire
We really enjoyed our safari trip in Tanzania with Ilmaasai. We had a driver, a chef, and a 4x4 for ourselves, so we got to taylor our trip according to our specific needs. The crew was also very accommodating with all pour requests and the owner was very responsive and on top of everything making sure we were having a great time.
we highly recommend it.

Great Safari with wonderful Guide & Chef!
We booked the 4 nights/5 days Safari for Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Nationalparks.
The prior communication with the operator Loth went very well. He picked us up at the airport and took us to the hostel in Arusha where Brayson, the driver, picked us up the next morning to start the Safari. He was really nice, explained everything to us and answered all our questions. The Chef, Osman, was very nice as well and we really enjoyed his cooking. We had such a good time with the two of them and can only recommend it to everyone who wants to experience a Safari in Tanzania and wants to see the Big Five.

wonderful experience to the summit of Kilimanjaro and 4 day safari-tour
Our family (2 adults 50+ and 4 students 18-26) did a 6 day Kilimanjaro expedition and a 4 day safari tour with Ilmaasai. Both experiences were very positive. The safari guide knew a lot about the national parks and wildlife. The cook served fine and large meals. Reliable, medium sized local tour operator.

Generally it was a really nice safari experience.
Tarangire - Ngorongoro - Lake Manyara
We saw "The big 5". Driver George was very helpful, able to answer each of our questions. Dinner was delicious, the lunch boxes were a bit poor. We spent two nights in a lodge in Fanaka Campsite & Lodge. Staff was very pleasant and also the accomodation was not bad. Everything was clean and tidy.
Tarangire and especially Ngorongoro was a great experiance, many animals and very varied nature but Lake Manyara was very different. There was almost nothing to see.

After being welcomed hearty we always felt comfortable and secure travelling around with ilmaasai.
Our tour was organized by my sister in law. As a local she recommended ilmaasai as relaibel, relaxed and sensible. Our driver was competent in answering questions concerning all kind of wilflife and the environment, etc. He brought us savley to and through all the beautiful tanzanian parks. Nice companion to travel with! Like our cook too! We enjoyed in his cuisine and more than once we were surprised about his performance late at night after a long day out in nature. Al lot of non-replaceble moments we finished our safari impressed deeply. Thanks a lot!

If you like sleeping in tents, it's perfectly fine.
If the company is the same as it was back in 2012, it was a perfectly fine experience. I was not disappointed in the least with the safari. We had good food, we slept in tents, and we were able to see animals out on the Serengeti. It was also a great price. We felt the company was honest in their dealings with us. Looking at companies that charge a lot more, the only thing they can truly offer is housing better than tents, because you will get the same experience driving around looking for wild life. So, I was satisfied.
