Family Safari / 6 days
We did a family safari and overall it was a very good experience. The guides and drivers were always kind, attentive, and knowledgeable; the Spanish-speaking guide, who was from the Maasai tribe, was excellent. We also appreciated the good communication and the flexibility of the coordinator, Leopard, who handled unforeseen situations very well, as well as the effort made to show us as many animals as possible.
The hotels were very good, except for the last one in Ruaha National Park, which was not in good condition and did not match the level of the previous ones. One point for improvement would be clearer information about the long transfers between parks: the last stretch involved about 700 km (around 15 hours), and we eventually decided to take a flight instead.
Overall, it was a positive and recommendable experience.

An incredible safari
I went on a safari between September and October 2025 with my sister.
The safari went very well and we were able to get close to the animals thanks to Leopard's experience.
He is a very attentive and caring guide.
Our trip lasted 10 days and we were able to visit Nyerere, Mikumi and Ruaha parks.
I highly recommend the services of Safari Moja Matata.

Just an amazing safari
I had an incredible trip with my sister. The safari was even better than I expected. Leopard gave us lots of information about the animals and about Tanzania in general. He really met our expectations. The safari was well organised and the accommodation and food were impeccable. I recommend it.

We were a group of four friends from Austria. Our safari began in Zanzibar and was very well organized. We drove to Moshi, visited three national parks, hot springs, and the Maturani waterfall. Leopard was a very good driver, competent, and always friendly and helpful. Our friendly guide, Talib, spoke excellent German and told us a lot. It was an impressive trip that we will always remember. Many thanks to Moja Matara and Talib!

9-day Tanzania tour with safari
Thank you so much. It was a truly wonderful trip. Experiencing the tour of Tanzania was fantastic. Leopard and Talib were excellent guides. It was like being part of a small family. Leopard was a superb driver, and Talib was a very good German interpreter with a deep understanding of the country and its people. The journey from Zanzbar by taxi and ferry, and back to our hotel in Nunghwi, the Tanzania Beach Hotel, was all organized perfectly. We visited Dar es Salaam, hiked to a waterfall, visited a coffee farm, a hot spring, and Mkomazi National Park (for rhinos) and Sadaani National Park. It was a pleasure traveling with them. Until next time. Thanks again, best regards, Peter, Sigrid, and friends

Incredible journey!!!
"As a traveler from Korea, I had an incredible journey climbing to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro (Jan 14-19) and exploring Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro on a safari (Jan 20-23). The entire experience was flawlessly organized by 'Safari Moja Matata'. From the moment I stepped off the plane until my departure, they ensured my comfort and safety with exceptional care. Thanks to their professional support, I was able to achieve a successful climb and enjoy a blissful safari. I am deeply grateful to Safari Moja Matata for providing such high-quality service at a reasonable price. Highly recommended!"

Sabastian our guide was fantastic
We have just arrived from a Safari tour organized by Safari Moja Matata. Everything was perfect. We’ve visited Nyerere national park. We have seen lots of wild animals on the tour: lions, buffalo, giraffes, hippos, crocodile, impalas, zebras, elephants… The guides: Sebastian and Charles were really pros and very kind. The Mloka Safari Lodge was very comfortable and autentic. The food was so delicious. Thanks Leopard for the organization!

Outstanding lifetime experience provided by Leopard and his team at Safari Moja Matata.
Four Canadians shared the experience of a lifetime on a Tanzanian Safari provided through the outstanding Dar-es-salaam company - Safari Moja Matata. Leopard the owner of the company kindly and thoroughly provided continuous correspondence with me from August 2025 until February 2026. Suggestions with honest appraisals were provided by Moja Matata. "We walk together" - a phrase coined by the company, aptly describes the experience of planning our 14 day safari through 5 national wildlife parks in the south, central and western regions of Tanzania.
We decided to arrive in Tanzania several days prior to our Safari. We discovered that Ethiopian Airlines provides outstanding service from Toronto to Addis Ababa and then to Dar-es-Salaam. We highly recommend Ethiopian Airlines. They are the largest airline in Africa, and the fourth largest airline in the world. Service is second to none.
Our driver - Richard and our guide - Elle picked us up at our Dar-es-Salaam hotel on the morning of our first safari day. We were excited and also nervous. This was the groups first experience travelling in central Africa.
Throughout our experience, the company addressed our accommodation and dietary preferences. Many of the roads that we travelled required a highly skilled and self sufficient driver. Richard handled every potential difficulty on the rugged, rutted and the occasional washed out dirt/stone roadways with ease.We experienced several mechanical issues in our comfortable Toyota Land Cruiser due to some road conditions that had deteriorated to do heavy rainfalls. All such mechanical issues were addressed promptly and thus maintained our confidence in our collective safety as we journeyed past Tanzanian rural villages. Four wheel drive is definitely required when travelling to and through the national wildlife parks.
Elle our guide throughout the trip provided our group of four senior citizens with information about the locations we would explore. She ensured that each destination was contacted and prepared for our arrivals. On occasion the hotels we used prepared meals for us in advance, recognizing that due to road conditions we might arrive later than anticipated. In addition Elle coordinated meals prepared by our on site chefs at the five national park Bandas in which we stayed. Having both a male and female as guides was most helpful, as they were able to address individual requests professionally. The experience of eating locally prepared fresh meals was great. Meals included meats such as eggs, chicken, beef and fish; vegetables such as peppers, onions, cucumber, beans, peas, squash; fruits such as mango, strawberry, banana and of course staples such as bread, potato, rice and spaghetti. The chefs prepared wonderful tomato, cucumber and potato soups for lunches. While travelling, we were provided with individually prepared lunch packages. Coffee, tea and various fruit juices accompanied meals. Chilled bottled water was available in our Land Cruiser at all times. Throughout the trip all meals were covered by our tour package price.
The purpose of any Safari, is to see wild-life. By visiting 5 national parks over a 14 day period, we saw a multitude of animals close up: elephants, giraffes, lions, water buffalo, zebras, wart hogs, impalas, baboons, monkeys, hippos, hyenas, crocodiles, chimpanzees, cattle, goals, sheep, wild dogs, birds etc. We experienced the opportunity to watch a family of chimpanzees in the rainforest for over 45 minutes, as they groomed one another. We stood within 4 feet of these animals, who lived in an isolated national park on Lake Tanganika. Our journey included trips via our Toyota Land Cruiser, boat trips on lakes and rivers, and concluded with a Tanzanian airline flight from our last site to Dar-es-Salaam. We returned to our initial hotel for several more days, prior to heading back to Canada. Leopard and Sebastian met us at the airport, and then Moja Matata arranged for a terrific Dar-es-Salaam tour by a local guide Sylvester and our driver Sebastian . We highly recommend the cultural park that illustrates types of housing used in the villages at the end of our excursion. In total our trip was 3 weeks in length.
In my opinion, Safari Moja Matata deserves your consideration, if you are looking for a quality and safe experience. I did a thorough check of eight companies prior to booking with Moja Matata. Their overall package was definitely the best. We were all glad that we were able to support a local Tanzanian company, based in Dar-es-Salaam. We would highly recommend a Safari tour. Thank you to all involved.
