Super helpful
The communication was fantastic. Loth helped me plan the perfect tour that fit our needs. He spent months helping to arrange the best tour and price. The Safari met and exceeded our expectations. We even saw the Big Five! I lost track of how many lions and elephants we encountered. Our tour guide was amazing and really helped to make our travels excellent. I would recommend bringing lots of protein bars, peanut butter, and snacks along because we got so wrapped up in watching the amazing animals that some of the meals got pushed back rather late. We are also American and so we could not eat some of the raw vegetable salads that were served (our immune system can't handle raw in Tanzania) or that there are not coolers for the meat. So, when I go again I will bring more protein rich snack bars and order the vegetarian meal option. So those are my tips. Definitely book with Loth. He will take very good care of you. The safari was a life changing adventure. There are no words to compare the beauty that we encountered watching live animals in their natural habitat.

This organization provides you the best service you can have. The guides are all local and they are very well prepared and they know the territory very well . Remind that you are on safari you cannot expect luxury accommodation or a full package of service. But with this organization you are supported 100% of your time

Amazing tour and very reliable and well organised Tour Operator!
We've booked a 5 day Tour with Il Masaai Expedition and had the best time in Tanzania!!! The booking and communication with Mr. Loth was very friendly and he explained everything to us. We were picked up on the airport by himself just on time and stayed one night in Arusha before the tour started. Our driver Bryson was such a nice guy and we felt very safe the whole time! Also our cook Othman did a great job he served delicious food every day, like local meals and also Spaghetti, Pizza.... Tanzania is a fascinating country and we were overwhelmed with all that beautiful nature and animals like lions, rhinos, elephants, leopards, zebras....the highlight was definately Ngorongoro Crater - we started early in the morning and saw all the animals walking in the sunrise so magical!!!! Although we did a Budget safari it was the best trip so far and we travelled to many countries before. I would definately choose Il Masaai Expedition again if I will come back - and that's for sure :) Asante!

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!

Masai joy
Thank's Simon and Roman for making my 3-day trip to Lake Natron to a
road of joy. One of the highlights was the meeting with all the friendly Masais.
Climbing Oldonyo Lengai with my masai guide Ringa starting in the middle of
night was the greatest. I recomend it to all with good shape.
Excellent Staff, Good Company
We went on a 6 day safari with Ilmaasai. Our driver Bryson and cook Osman were most accommodating and did everything they could to make our trip great. We saw plenty of animals and were happy with this company. It is locally owned as well, we were happy that our money went to support the local people and not a foreign company.
