Perfect Tanzanian adventure in wild nature with the best!
I was volunteering in Tanzania and together with my friends we decided to do the safari. My friend recommended the Mega Adventures Travel to me. From the very first moment I knew it was a good choice. Dodo (CEO) was super helpful, he made a lot of effort to help us with safari, organize everything for us, explained a lot about the nature and nationals parks. Safari itself is an unforgettable experience and I will remember forever how we slept in the midle of Serengeti under the stars with all the wild animals. Food was delicious, we saw all the animals from big 5 and enjoyed it very much. I felt like princess, everybody was looking after us and it was not only about the money. They really tried hard to make the best from the safari for us. Asante sana! :)
Amazing Trip!
We had a really nice weekend! Even if we were just in the smaller National Parks, we saw many animals (more than expected) and were lucky to see lions hunting! It was amazing! Many thanks to our great guide, Hussein, who informed us quiet a lot and speaks English very well. Our accommodation was very nice. It seemed like every wish would be fulfilled and the meals have been tasty!
This weekend-trip exceeded our expectations!
Many thanks to Mega Adventures!

So good I did it twice.
the "luck" in seeing the animals largely thanks to guides who sees everything and are very knowledgeable. I was on the "budget" safari, the food was outstanding (thanks you Charles) and everything was clean and lovely.

You Can Touch The Stars In Tanzania
With Mega Adventures.. You Can Touch The Stars In Tanzania
Autumn 2015
Nothing was as expected.
News reports and the latest on CNN say that Tanzania is the best Safari destination.. well, we visited tanzania, it is the best indeed.
Alarabiya News Channel team had 22 days trip to Tanzania .. were full of experience and excitement. That is unforgettable.
Living next door to Masai, we were observing them, learning a lot of their vision and beliefs..
We enjoyed the simple yet very comfortable accommodation in clean private tent for each one of us.. pillows were super!
We couldn't leave Manyara without feeling the taste of its nature in a huge sand storm that turned day to night for more than 8 minutes. Mohammad Atik was next to everyone and at the same time.. he is always there.. don't understand how he does it but we are sure he is talented.
Mohammad Atik and his team of Mega Adventures take care of everything.
We had a proper kitchen cooking all day and a dining table for everyone. Chef was so talented preparing healthy and tasty food.
Briefly, 4 days close to Masai people taught us the concept of Happiness.
We had a "fairy" stay by the huge dangerous active volcano Oldonyo Lengai, the accommodation was so relaxing in the middle of nature , having tasty breakfast and a lot of exotic fruits on the birds songs was magical.
In Oldonyo Lengai the earth was too hot, with the contrast of the too cold river there.. we experienced the beautiful harmony of the nature. We didn't leave the location before walking almost "forever" to reach the shore of Lake Natron. The team of Mega Adventures made the walk easy by telling us so much interesting stories about the lake and the Masai there all the way until we have reached the flamingos.
The pink color there is the trend. Flamingos are thousands living in the most tranquil peaceful land on earth.
Next is a big adventure... to the WILD.
We planned to spend another 5 days in Serengeti. With the very strong 4 wheel unbeatable vehicles we have crossed the long way from Oldonyo Lengai to Serengeti in comfort and good services all the way, and most of all safe driving by Frank and Mohammad Atik.
Serengeti, that endless land has no rules for animals but a lot of strict rules for humans. Mega Adventures team offer professional guidance about the land, animals, weather, food and the most luxurious accommodation in the wild.
I couldn't help myself take a photo of only one corner of that tent in early morning. I will go there again. We all do. We miss that healthy well done and 5 stars served breakfast, lunch & dinner.
The place is on a plan to visit on every vacation.. few days there can refresh body and soul.. I don't know if you would beieve this.. stars were too close to us staying by the fire in the middle of wild and listening to cute animals like zebra or giraffe having dinner behind the trees around us.. there we have changed our life perspectives.
In a shiny morning, was time to move to the icon Kilimanjaro.. we call it the love mountain .. you will easily fall in love there.. Kilimanjaro is where love is in the air. Hard to climb it but not impossible specially when there is Bouga Bouga leading you to the Top.
The nature and the people make the green icy mountain and the waterfalls around "a must to do" thing, at least once in a lifetime.
It is Zanzibar time after kilimanjaro , "Zanz" the place of blue crystal water, the place of mixed cultures, the place of open hearted people.
Frank is the one who was always choosing the easiest and shortest way to magical adventures. He is a way much better than Google map!
Mega Adventures super cars made it to the land of coffee, sailing to the turkoise shore, to the spices market and so much more .. Zanzibar does not sleep, the city is simply alive.
We wish we could open our hearts to show our love to Mohammad Atik, Abdul Fattah Atik, Frank, Bouga Bouga, Stanley, the best team of Mega Adventures.
We were there and we will go again and again. See you soon Tanzania .. hakuna matata.

The communication was easily and without problems. The service was excellent. Our trip was so spontanely but even without complication. The car is really comfortable and clean, even the overnight in the safari camp was in a unforgettable atmosphere with really delicious food.
I am really thankfull for Dodo and espacially for our guide you showed us the best of the best and explain everything exactly. Your knowledge and your enthusiasm about the area and the animals is great. It felt like a trip with friends. Everyone should do a safari with Mega Adventure. The price and the safari-offer is the best and you accompain a really good tanzanian business-man! Asanteni sana!

With Mega Adventures nothing can go wrong, best insider tip I ever got!
Our safari was nothing but a m a z i n g ! You'd think we were part of the discovery channel. I'm so happy I got this insider tip from a friend who used to live in Tanzania. Mohammed (our organizer), Abu (our guide and driver) and Mudi (our chef) were such good hosts. I'm forever grateful for Mega Adventures' extreme kindness and helpfulness. Without these guys, I'm positive that we'd have spent at least twice as much for half the experience. We saw more then we could have wished for (and more than the other groups we met along the way..) And with the land rover nothing could stop Abu! The Migration, the Big Five, cheetahs.. you name it, we saw it! (Once I've finished the editing of my camera material, I'll share the link of a short movie, and you can see for yourself.) Oh, and the food was incredible! Thumbs up :)
If you're interested in why and how it was so great, here's a longer excursion of what happened:
First we went on a walking safari with a ranger (I advise you to bring water!). It was extremely interesting, we saw so many traces of animals, got to know much about them, and then we just bumped into more and more of them and followed them around. This day we saw a lot of giraffes, and to see them up close on the ground was breathtaking.
We camped in a little town with a pool and showers and good food..
The next day we went through Serengeti and saw the migration.. first you see a couple of zebras, and you're amazed, then some antelopes. Then the antelopes are everywhere and you see a dark gnu, and your amazed, then you see zebras and antelopes and gnus absolutely everywhere, the horizon is just a black line in every direction, made by these incredible animals. Once passed the great migration. We saw a lion on the side of the street, gazing in the sun.. further away another one pops up.. and then another three.. and it just goes on and on. We saw at least 20 lions in total!
Then, all of the sudden the car stops. We've apparently arrived to our campsite - in the middle of the park! This night made us feel so alive! There were hyaenas screaming and running past our tents at night. It's not a joke: you're in the wilderness. You could obviously choose to stay in a lodge if you don't feel comfortable. But for our group this camping experience was something we were grateful and happy to experience.
The following day we started out at dusk. Driving around in complete silence. We couldn't see a thing. Some elephants walking along the horizon as the sun rises.. We almost lost hope in seeing anything.. But then my sister saw something along the road. We thought it was a lion, but as we came closer.. the shape get's more and more obvious: a leopard, and further away another one (this is very rare, since leopards are mainly seen in pairs when they mate). We followed them, as they walked through the high grass. Then one of them climbed the tree and the sun was just right.. And then, as if that wasn't enough, Abu saw something further away - something the leopards hadn't seen yet - a cheetah with three little cubs were gazing and playing respectively. We were just a couple of meters away from these animals, without distracting them, and could peacefully follow them around. These five cats were my highlight! Later on we stopped one meter in front of one of those typical elephant crossings. It must have been at least 20 elephants crossing the street. So playful and nice. We saw some lions on the way to Ngorongoro and got to our campsite just next to the crater. Elephants kept coming there, to drink water from the well. At night buffalos came up the hill to eat..
Following day we went out to see the crater. All of these animals gathered in the greatest unfilled volcanic crater in the world. The sight itself is enough to stay stunned. We went through the park and there, not far away, a black rhino is walking towards the vehicle. Closer and closer, and then across the road just in front of our car. It was such a precious moment. Later we saw another two black rhinos further away, along the horizon.
Even after the safari Mohammed sorted us out and gave us tips on what to do with the rest of our days in Tanzania and Zanzibar. He never stopped to amaze me. Just the kindest person!
It was just such a nice experience, we were all extremely happy and overwhelmed. The food, the kindness, the engagement, the nature, the animals…
Wish you all a wonderful trip if you decide to go to Tanzania, and especially Mega Adventures, then nothing can go wrong!
Pole Pole, Hakuna Matata :)

If you don't want to worry about anything - rely on Mega Adventures :-)
M for Mohamed Atik, the founder and owner of Mega Adventures.
We have never met a person who's more caring than he is. Any question, any wish, any sorrow, any problem- he listens, he answers, he solves, he makes it come true.
E for Enjoyable. Enjoyable was everything about our 4-day budget safari. Hussen our driver and guide was 100% concentrated and exactly knowing what he's doing. He is a safe, calm and patient driver, who is very eager to find the animals in all the hidden places.
When we could not see many animals in Tarangire he was somehow disappointed, because he's so ambitious and wants to show as much as possible.
The one and only cook Mudi prepared all the famous meals that made me feel like I'm home. He cooks as good as my mother (what is the highest compliment I could give ;-)) Everything was perfectly organized although it was somehow a spontaneous trip- but it felt like it was planned for ages.
G for Game drives: One game drive in Tarangire, two in Serengeti and one in Ngorongoro Crater. It was exciting, never became boring.
All in All: MEGA Adventures is a small and also new company but it's giving its best to satisfy the clients and everyone who is working there does it with lots of passion, power and excitement. Plus: They make you feel like a part of the team, a piece of a chocolate cake and not a drop in the ocean.
For sure, like all the other companies, they can't change the weather or the actions of the animals - but they don't give you any reason to be sad about anything.
I'm looking forward to my next safari with them when I come back to Tanzania.
Thank you Mega Adventures for all the unforgettable moments

Without a doubt, I recommend Mega adventures to anyone considering a safari.
Last easter, I went to a three day safari to Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro and Tarangire national parks with Mega adventures.
Everything worked. Good car, good food, good hostel, reliable service.
What I appreciated the most was Mubarak, our guide. He had an extensive knowledge of the parks' flora and fauna which enriched the experience. His enthusiasm in giving us the best time possible and his ambition in finding good locations really enhanced the experience.
Without a doubt, I recommend Mega adventures to anyone considering a safari.

Great safari that exceeded our expectations
Mega Adventures organised a great safari for us; 4 days, 3 nights to Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Part of the programme was to follow the great migration, for which we went all the way to the northern edge of the Serengeti. Views were spectacular, with wildebeests everywhere you looked. During the safari, we saw many animals, including the lion and elephant (close distance), rhino (in Ngorongoro crater), hyenas, almost every animal you would hope to see.
As we opted for the budget safari, we camped in little tents. This was quite exciting, as there are no fences around the campsite. During our last night, we saw some zebras at the camping site. The quality of the meals was fine (the fact that I eat vegetarian was no problem). The tour guides were knowledgeable. The schedule was pretty tight; going all the way up northern Serengeti takes a lot of time. We often felt that we were in a rush, not allowing us to spend as much time watching animals as we would like. However, since the guide (Ibrahim) often decided that we had to move on, we saw probably more animals (and better views) than we would have if we would have taken it easy. He knew very well to set priorities, searching for the most spectacular scenes.
Initially, the Maasai cultural interaction was included in our itinerary, but it turned out that we did not have enough time to do this. However, I was glad that we took as much time as possible for game viewing.
Altogether a very good experience and well organised. Another major advantage of booking with Mega Adventures is that they did an effort combining groups (which is why they could offer a competitive price) - perfect for individuals searching for a group to join.
