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!

What a great experience!
We are a (relatively) young couple and although we travel the world as much as we can, this was our first visit to Tanzania. We found Loth from Ilmaasai through Safaribookings. After doing an extensive research that lasted several months, we felt that Ilmaasai offered the best overall package for visiting Tanzania, and best value for the price. During the arrangement of the safari, we always felt that Loth would try his best to meet our requirements.
With the help of several guides, internet forums, and Loth's expert advice, we tailored a bespoke safari visiting most of the northern circuit.
The experience itself was fantastic from start to end. Our driver and guide, Bryson, was very very knowledgeable and always looked after us. I was impressed with the care he took to ensure that we learned about nature as well as enjoying the safari. We were also accompanied by Osman, our cook, who was good fun and prepared delicious food! I mention this because spending many days in a car with other people can be difficult, but these guys made us enjoy it. On top of that, both (but especially the guide) were fantastic at explaining every single detail of animals' behaviours and the environment they live in. They are very passionate about Tanzania and they really made the difference to our adventure.
On top of the educational safari, the amazing landscapes and the good company, the trip was organised to include some small excursions that were the icing on the cake: canoeing, hot springs, hiking, etc.
In summary, we don't hesitate to recommend Ilmaasai for a Tanzania safari. We'd like to be back soon, and when we do, Loth's number will be the first one to dial.
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.

Unforgettable experience
We really enjoyed the safari and were looked after very well by our guide and chef. They were both very patient and explained everything we wanted to know about Tanzania to us. It was a great way of learning not only about Tanzanian wildlife, but also about the culture. We saw all the big give animals in just 5 days. It was amazing!

Great Trips, Great Guide
We really enjoyed our trip to Ngorogoro, Manyara and Tarangire over a 3 day weekend. It was a short safari, but Ilmaasai did not make it feel rushed and we had several great experiences. We booked them because we like to support local small business and were glad we did. They were professional and we got all that was promised in a professional, warm manner. Loth, the owner communicated exactly how it would progress and it went off like clockwork.
Highly recommend.

Kilimanjaro 6 days
We had an amazing time on the Kilimanjaro trip. Ilmaasai were very friendly and professional from the start. Best price we could find in Arusha and no pressure selling. They helped to hire the right equipment for the climb. The entire team who helped us up the mountain were amazing, very attentive and the guides were fantastic, very patient and encouraging. I would definitely recommend this company for booking any excursions.
