nothing is impossible :)
We were on a 6-day safari in June, 3 nights of which we stayed in a Serengeti campsite. We saw a lot of animals, it was a great experience when two lions dropped a zebra or when three baby cheetahs climbed down from the tree to their mother or when the family of 18 lions rested under the tree. There were four of us with Msangai Adventure, the route was well chosen, the accommodation was comfortable, the food was fantastic. Our driver Imanuel was excellent - he found allways the best places to see everything.

Super
We enjoyed our safari. Everything was good arranged by the company. We had a private safari through the serengeti, the crater and tarangire. We slept in excellent tented camps and lodges. The trip was on the occasion of our marriage and we also had a sign on our safari car with 'just married'. Our guide spoke good English and followed our wishes well. I can really recommend this company.

Great safari experience!
We had a great experience with Eric, Emmanuel and the entire Msangai crew. They were able to book us on a 5 day trip with less than 24 hours notice and everything was better than expected. The accommodations, the food, and of course the wild life viewing. Cant recommend these guys enough!

Zuri Sana!
Amazing experience!
Firstly, the communication by Zee and Eric was very efficient and made our planning easy!
Emmanuel, our safari guide made our 4 day very comfortable and enjoyable. He was so knowledgable about the wildlife in the park and was very patiently allowing us to bask in the beauty of the park!
He ensured we got sumptuous meals!
Our Accomodation was also very nice - The baobab tents stay was a lovely experience whether it’s the ambience or the food!
We appreciate Eric for hearing our feedback about reducing the use of single use water bottles - Hope he can put it in action!
We are blessed to be able to witness the beauty of Serengeti with Msangai Adventures and make memories for a lifetime!

Experience of a lifetime!
My friend and I booked a 5 day Safari with Msangai Adventure via safaribooking.com. The communication with Zee was really easy and fast. After paying and confirming everything from both sides we started contact with Eric which was also very easy and fast. Before our Safari, Eric confirmed the pickup location and asked if there were any food preferences/allergies etc.
The day before pickup emanuel came to our hostel because he lives nearby and talked to us for a while and we got to meet eachother. It was very nice for us to know beforehand who would be with us for the whole week.
On monday morning emanuel picked us up and we started our 1st safari day in Tarangire. We saw soooo many animals and learned new things about them. Emanuel answered every question we had and was really funny and nice.
All the lodges were amazing and with great food and lunchboxes.
On day 3 I got sick and everyone took really good care of me and Eric checked in everyday and asked how we are doing.
The remaining two days in Ngorongoro and Lake manyara were also really exciting and beautiful.
The safari was an one time experience and really worth the money! Compared to other safari companys it was an amazing price for the value! Would definitely reccomend it.
Thank you so much!

An excellent experience!
I approached these guys at pretty short notice for a two day safari, which was shorter than most regular offerings but all I had time to do before attending a meeting. I wasn’t disappointed- they put together a custom itinerary for Tarangire and Ngorongoro that perfectly suited the timing and the weather. I saw everything that I could have dreamt of and more. The scenery and wildlife were stunning, the wildlife was spectacular, the accommodation excellent, and my meeting colleagues jealous as none of them were able to get the weekend off to come! Highly recommended.

Go on a game drive in Tanzania!
When it comes to travel, we are more of a “do-it-yourselfer” traveller, the excitement of planning your first safari can start well, but very quickly become overwhelming. But this time all arrangements were up to the mark with the help of Zee and Erick. It's really important to have someone you can rely on, supporting you, even from a distance.
It was a wonderful experience for us. A four-day safari that, in retrospect, might be the highlight of all our vacations so far.
The driver (Immanuel) just was very cooperative, polite, friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed his company. Nature doesn’t work to a schedule, and no two game drives are alike. But that is also what makes going on safari so fascinating and it is worth having an experienced guide and driver like Immanuel!
All accommodations and transportation arrangements were excellent. The holiday ran like clockwork & it was impeccably organised. All that we asked for was provided & we cannot fault the organisation from start to finish. Would use Msangai Adventure Safaris again without hesitation.
Africa is close to our hearts and we were so excited to finally go on Safari in Tanzania.
Thanks & Regards,
Razvan, Roxana & Daria

A super professional, caring, and attentive company! Amazing value for money!
Wow, where do I start! Our 5 day safari experience with Msangai Adventure was out of this world! Me and my wife just finished the tour yesterday, and we came for Calving Season of the Wildebeest. On our trip, we covered Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP (Ndutu Area), Ngorongoro Crater & Lake Manyara NP. Honestly, from start to finish, the iternary was perfectly planned! We were picked up from JRO Airport after landing and taken to our hotel in Arusha . The driver was very friendly and gave us a lot of information about Tanzania along the way. After arriving at the hotel, we were greeted by Eric (one of the company owners) who introduced himself and gave us a briefing about the safari followed by us asking him any questions / addressing any concerns we had. He answered everything we needed to know, and due to us being vegan, he made it very clear that he had informed all the lodges about our dietary requirements to ensure we had suitable food! He even made sure the hotel we were staying at for the first night, which we booked ourselves, knew about our dietary requirements, which was very helpful. The following day, we were picked up and greeted by our tour guides, who were James and Emmanuel. These guys from the get-go were super friendly and very welcoming! They explained again what we would be doing and informed us about every stop off a long the way to our safari experience. When we pulled up to get fuel, Eric also came to meet us again to send his best wishes for our trip and made sure again that we were comfortable and happy with everything. We then set off to our first destination, which was Tarangine NP. The safari jeep was amazing! It was very spacious , comfortable, and clean. It had many pockets on the chairs to store your phones / cameras / gadgets etc ... and it had charging points, which were handy! We had an unlimited supply of bottled water , and the drivers got me a few beers while my wife had some soft drinks for us to enjoy on our game drives. Both James & Emmanuel were so easy to get on with and talk to. Their English was so good, and we all understood each other very clearly. If we ever had a question, they always had an answer or would try to find out. The drives between parks can be hours long, so it's very important that you feel comfortable around your drivers, and we spoke about many things while joking along the way. We learnt a lot about Tanzania culture from them , and they were very interested in our lifestyle / culture too! Across all of the parks, we were so blessed to see 4 of the big 5 (we only missed seeing a leopard). We literally saw Zebra's , wildebeest, lions , lionesses, cheetahs, giraffes , elephants, buffalos , gazelles, ostriches, baboons , various monkeys , various birds & we even saw two black rhinos which is super rare! I know the drivers can't guarantee what you will see, but they made sure we got to all the right places to have the best chance! We always felt safe and confident in their driving, too , and they always got us as close as allowed to the animals for unreal photos / videos. The lodges we stayed in across the 5 days were unbelievable, too! The 1st night was at Marera Valley Lodge , 2nd & 3rd were at Serona Ndutu Mobile Camp, and the 4th night was at a sister lodge to Marera. The food at all lodges was so good! And due to Eric letting each place know we were vegan in advance, they had special dishes prepped, especially for us! Each day, you would get a packed lunch for your gane drive as well, which normally included fruit , bread/sandwich, juice , water, and some veg & rice. The staff at all the lodges were super friendly! On arrival they would clean your bag , give you a rag to clean your face, give you a fresh juice to drink , take your bags to the room , brief you about the grounds / times for dinner etc . The quality of the lodges for the money we paid was so good! We couldn't believe how nice they were. By far our favourite stay was in the mobile camps for our 2 nights in the Serengeti. Luckily for us, we were the only 2 guests for our stay, so we had such a personal experience, and we bonded very well with the group of guys running the camp. The tents were luxury with a proper toilet, shower , sink, and a spacious sleeping area, which had 2 beds and mosquito nets. The best part was waking up in the morning and seeing giraffes and zebras fill the fields around us while they grazed. The sound of the birds and insects throughout the day & night was so relaxing, too! You really felt like you were in the centre of nature. The food here was so well thought of, and it was our favourite! Then, each night, we would sit around the camp fire, which they called Bush Television haha, and share stories together! Something I will remember forever. At the end of each day Eric would always drop me a message to ask how the day went and make sure we were happy with everything! Therefore, as you can see me and my wife were over the moon with this trip, and it's actually emotional writing this as it has come to an end! But honestly, do not have any doubts about booking with this company! If you want a very personal experience, where you feel valued alongside having friendly, knowledgeable drivers, this is the company to book with! Not to mention, you will pay much less than other companies who all do the same thing! I compared across 6 main companies and the iternary is very similiar and most use the same lodges! So why pay more? We also left an expensive soap at the mobile camp by accident, but we couldn't go back as it was over 4 hours away, so James took us in to the supermarket in Arusha and ensured we were able to buy something similar by asking around for us! They really do go above and beyond. Thank you so much, Msangai, for this once in a lifetime experience, which you made even more memorable! Eric should be proud of the company he is developing, and I wish business continues to blossom! James & Emmanuel, you guys are the best, and as you said yourself, we are family now, haha ! Brothers and sisters for life! I have so much more, I could say, but words can only cover so much! Much love and Asante sana Msangai
