Everything absolutely reliable, fast and friendly
I chatted with Arnold via WhatsApp for a few days or weeks before booking, and he accommodated all our requests and was very helpful. It wasn't just about completing the booking quickly.
I felt very well looked after. Payment was also seamless.
Our flights from Zanzibar to Tanzania were booked reliably, and the tickets were forwarded to us without any questions.
The transfer to and from the airport to the accommodation worked perfectly.
We were picked up at the airport by Andrew and Brighton (our guides) and set off on our first safari. We spend 3 days with them (we booked a privat Safari).
They were attentive to our needs and desires during the safari. We also had lunch with them every day at special locations.
They explained a lot to us, but we also had great conversations and jokes with them. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed our time to the fullest. Saying goodbye after our three days was a bit difficult :D.
It's clear that for Andrew and Brighton, it's more than just a job. They really enjoy it.
We would highly recommend Major Treks and Safaris and our two guides at any time.
Everything went perfectly.

EXPERIENCE AFRICA TO THE FULLEST AND WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT ANYTHING
If you want to enjoy the best possible experience visiting the Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (in Tanzania), the best choice is Major Treks and Safaris, located in Arusha.
The team, led by Spanish guide and naturalist Luis Alberto Rodríguez and Arnold, the local manager, is exceptional. They have the necessary infrastructure so you won't want for anything. They support and care for you constantly, taking care of all your needs. They pick you up at Kilimanjaro Airport in Arusha after you get off the plane and accompany you throughout your stay until it's time to return to Spain.
The service included in your vacation package is comprehensive. In addition to the safaris (the main purpose of the trip), they include an introduction to the country's art and culture through several excursions to specific places of interest in Arusha and two very interesting excursions.
The first is a 40-minute hike from Materuni to Kuringe Waterfall (70 m). A spectacular place. Materuni is a village inhabited by the Chagga tribe, in the foothills of Kilimanjaro National Park. It is a jungle landscape surrounded by coffee, cocoa, banana, and avocado plantations. Members of the tribe offer a fascinating demonstration of how they produce and process coffee, from harvesting the beans to tasting them in the cup. The excursion is complemented by a delicious lunch served by a Chagga family, consisting of a series of delicious dishes typical of their cuisine, and a relaxing soak in the crystal-clear hot springs of Kikuletwa.
The second is a visit to two truly unique African tribes that live around Lake Eyasi. It is a journey into the past of our species; a unique and unforgettable experience. First, the Hadzabe, one of the smallest ethnic communities on the continent and one of the last to remain hunter-gatherers. Their language is considered Paleo-African, and their total population is estimated at around 1,300 people, distributed in families spread throughout the area. Then, the Datoga. This is a semi-nomadic, Nilotic-speaking ethnic group. One of the oldest peoples in Tanzania, they are farmers, herders, and also fierce warriors. They are excellent blacksmiths. They use scrap metal to make iron and copper items, such as arrowheads, which they trade with the Hadzabe tribe. They also make beautiful knives, hoes, bracelets, and necklaces (available for purchase).
The safari is a four-day, three-night tour of Tarangire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro (one at a Karatu Lodge and two in separate tented camps located within the Serengeti). The safaris are breathtaking. The contemplation of these mythical natural spaces and their wild inhabitants is moving. The expertise of Luis, Silva, and Charles (the native driver-guides) is evident here. There are hundreds of vehicles circulating through the parks (they're all the same), but Luis stands out from the rest for several reasons. He demonstrates his vast knowledge of wildlife and nature in general with a diction that captivates you from the first minute. He also knows the parks and has a sixth sense for spotting opportunities depending on the time of day and the weather. He imbues his companions with a passion that overflows, and all of this results in the success of the mission. With Luis, you don't just see animals. You experience animal life. And in addition to the Big Five (lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos), we saw more than fifty different species of reptiles, birds, and mammals. An absolute success.
Don't hesitate. This is the Tanzanian agency that will allow you to enjoy the delights of this trip with the greatest possible satisfaction.

Fantástica experiencia
An unforgettable experience. Never before had an agency treated us with such care and professionalism. This team gave us 200%; what great professionals, the BEST. With our Spanish guide, Luis Rodríguez, we saw the best scenes from Africa's greats, in unforgettable landscapes. The visit to the tribes took us back thousands of years to experience a primitive way of life far removed from our own. Thank you, Luis, Silva, Charles, Arnold, Christian, Didas, Paul, Inocence, and Alex, for this trip that remains etched in our memories and hearts like no other.

Amazing Safari and cultural local experience in Arusha and Kilimanjaro
An incredible and highly recommended experience. We visited Arusha, N'goro N'goro, Tarangire, and the Serengeti; we saw the Big Five and had extraordinary local guides and drivers who made the experience even better.
Best wishes, guys!
Love... Tom and Angela

Excellent service and attention
This trip exceeded my expectations. The safari was spectacular. The Spanish guide, Luis, was extraordinary: informative, helpful, and very knowledgeable about the terrain and the animals. Thanks to him, we found the Big Five. We were very lucky.

Top-Notch Company and Guides
I have taken numerous guided trips in multiple countries, and Arnold and Brighton are as good as they get. From the start, communication was clear and responsive. Once we arrived in Tanzania, they made themselves available for anything we needed. The Land Cruiser was stocked with water and other drinks, and they were willing to stop for anything we were interested in. They tailored the tour to our preferences and were always willing to do extra for us. Their pricing was fair, and they genuinely wanted to ensure we had an excellent time. I highly recommend Major Treks and Safaris.
