My mega experience
5/5

We booked Mega Adventures for a climb up to Kilimandjaro and for a Safari. Both trips have been an amazing experience and I couldn't have wished for more. The guides have been very professional. I can really recommend to use this company for your safaris

Top one day trip to Ngorongoro Crater!!!
5/5

As a single traveler in Tanzania I was looking for a group to join for a Ngorongoro Crater tour, as my budget was limited. I was very lucky to get in contact with Mega Adventures, after couple negative answers from other touroperators. First of all they found a group for me to join even just for one day. As the group has already started the tour, guys from Mega Adventures organised everything for me in order to meet the group in certain lodge in the evening and continue safari with them next morning. Communication and organisation was excellent as well as care that Mega Adventures crew provided to me. Seeing that a single traveler is not very often interesting for companies, this is not a case for Mega Adventures. I appreciate a lot the way they treat a traveler and they give even more than traveler expects in order to provide him/her the best high quality experience. Nothing is a problem for them and make customer happy is their main aim. I recommend Mega Adventures to everyone, because these guys know what they do and they do it great! If I come back to Tanzania, I will definetely choose them again for any adventure. I wish there will be more companies like Mega Adventures who understand that traveler is not only source of money but first of all human who seeks authentic experience during the trip!!

I could not have wished for a better safari experience than I got with Mega Adventures!
5/5

I'm so happy with everything from food, camping sites and the guides knowledge and service to the nationalparks, all the animals we saw and the overall experience.

Kilimanjaro Summit and incredible Safari with Mega Adventures was life changing!
5/5

What incredible experiences I had on two different Mega Adventures excursions.
First we were off to the summit of Mt Killimanjaro for a week long trek up the challenging mountain. Our lead guide, Mathew, had climbed the mountain over 400 times so he was a complete pro. Mega Adventures provided most of the required equipment, delicious meals, and competitant staff to get us to the top !
The following week Mega Adventures took us out on a week long safari which was probably the best experience if my life! Our guides were experts at knowing where to find all of the wildlife. During the first hour we saw lions, zebra, elephants, ostriches, gazelles, and giraffes. By the end of the week we had seen every large animal that Tanzania has to offer.
We were thrilled with the resorts that Mega Adventures picked for us for they were all five star!
If you want to see the real Tanzania I highly recommend Mega Adventures!
They will change your life.

Everything was perfect- we are so lucky we have found mister atik and his nature-loving employes.
5/5

The Guide was brilliant. We could really get an impression of the country's nature and how the nature lives.
The Lodges we stayed at were very cozy and clean. The food was delicious and even if i don't like meat that much, i am happy i have chosen a steak one evening. It was worth to repeat it actually!
We loved the early gamedrives and also coming to the lodge after the sunset.
The whole atmosphere during the safari was very relaxed and i was happy our guide was that spontanious.
If you really would like to go on a safari which is incresibly good- choose mister atik's company.
It is worth it!!! :)
Thank you, MEGA ADVENTURES!!!!!

Mega guide, mega safari, mega adventure!
5/5

We (3 people from Europe) booked a 3-day safari in April 2015 through Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire. I can say for sure that we are quite sensible and critical, but this trip was a pure sensation in mostly all points. We booked the budget package with sleeping in (stable) tents nearby Lake Manyara. Although we came in the "low season", we experienced three great days we will never forget.

One of the most important reasons for our enthusiasm was Mubarak, our guide and one of the directors of the company. I don't even know where to start the list of his benefits: He was very professional and friendly, was always in a good mood and never got bored by our many questions about animals, nature and general Tanzanian/African things. Since he is a experienced guide with a lot of knowledge, mostly all of our questions were answered and if there was something even he was unsure of, he promised to look it up in the evening because he also was interested in learning new stuff. Because we had rain seasons, we had several critical situations with muddy roads, but he handled the (huge!) car very professionally and was able to show us interesting spots even when other popular viewpoints were blocked. Every morning, the car was cleaned again from mud and trash. And - which is some kind of rare in Tanzania - he spoke English fluently which made it easy to follow his detailed explanations and answers.

Not only Mubarak was one of the reasons we totally recommend this company but also Mohammed, the company's CEO. Even although we only booked a few days before the safari, he made us a very good offer and provided us with all transparency we needed: prices, accomondation, pick-up from our apartment in Moshi, free water bottles, lunch boxes, a meeting before the safari and so on. In the end, we had to care about almost nothing and were able to enjoy the 3 days without any hassle or complications.

Criticism? Well, we booked the walking safari in Tarangire on the last day (2-3 hours walking in the plain nature). Unfortunately Mubarak wasn't allowed by the park management to come with us so we had another guide and armed ranger. He wasn't the best guide, his English was hard to understand and he wasn't well equipped (no binoculars) and able to answer several of our (I think quite basic) questions. The nature of Tarangire and the atmosphere of walking around freely was absolutely worth it, but maybe MegaAdventures finds a way to improve that. Having Mubarak with us during the walk would have been much more better! But even after long thinking about negative points, this is the only one we honestly can think of.

Oh, and about the animals: I think except a Leopard we've seen the most "important" ones. But if herde of 20 elephants crosses your way 2 meters in front of you with no other tourist cars around you, you don't think any longer about Big Fives or such trivial categories. You're just happy to have a professional guide able to lead you to these locations. We'll definitely looking forward to book Mega Adventures for other trips during our long stay in Tanzania.
