Amazing experience
We booked 7 day safari and it was great. Our driver answered all of our questions, stopped every time we wanted to and made sure we saw every animal as good as possible. The accommodations were all very nice, especially the Serengeti Bush camps (the staff there was also amazing). I would recommend everyone to take the 7 day safari because you have time to see everything without hurrying. If it is migration time it is worth visiting the Northern part of the Serengeti. And hearing lions during the night is something you will never forget. I would recommend this company because the price is good for what you get, and the staff is so kind.
A Wonderful Safari Experience
Overall it was a pleasant experience working with Msangai Adventure Safaris.
They were prompt to respond to questions over email. Most of the email correspondence came from the owner Zeeshan. The rate for the 5 days 4 night safari I had was $2390. It included a lodge the night before and after my Safari, which was nice. You pay 15% of the fee upfront with a bank transfer or over Paypal if you want to use a credit card. If you use a credit card there is a 5% fee to cover what Paypal charges, but I found it the easiest option because I booked last minute and didn't have time to go through my bank.
When I landed in Arusha, Eric the Director of Operations that lives in Arusha, greeted me at the airport and took me to the Zawadi House Lodge where I stayed the night before and after my safari. The lodge was nice and had decent internet and charging in the rooms.
The morning my safari started I met my guides Frank and James. Frank is an industry pro that has been leading safaris for a while. James was training under him, but both knew their animals well. Over the 5 days we spent a day in Lake Manyara, two days in Serengeti, a day in Ngorongoro Crater, and a day in Tarangire all National Parks.
During the safari I stayed at the Marera Valley Lodge for two nights. It is a very nice lodge. The dinner they give is a four course feast so make sure to not snack too much during the day. It was nice getting to swim in their pool after a long day of being in the car. While in Serengeti National Park we stayed at the Central Serengeti Tanzania Bush camp. My "tent" was a large canvas structure that was a tent in name only. It had two queen sized beds as well as a shower and bathroom in the tent. Charging for phones and wifi was available at their lounge/bar area, but not in the tent. Overall wasn't a problem as there is plenty of time to charge during dinner or leaving your phone there overnight.
Overall I saw much more than I could have dreamed off! I got to see part of The Great Migration, all of the big 5, a few over 50 lions (some of them even up close!), and so much more. Some highlights for me were getting to see a lion hunting, a group of cheetahs play on the road just a few feet away from us, a herd of elephants cautiously cross by a patch of tall grass where lions were hiding, and a large hippo trotting around like it was light as a feather. There were too many to count, but it was a very memorable experience. Frank was an expert at knowing where to go and how to position the car for the best viewing of all the animals. James and Frank dropped knowledge throughout the whole trip and were very easy to get along with.
I would highly recommend using Msangai Adventure Safaris!

Experienced and great value
Dreaming of the ultimate safari in Tanzania? Wanting an experienced team that provides exceptional service before, during and after your adventure? Look no further than Msangai Adventure Safaris. Their website has clear and transparent pricing right up front, but each tour can be customized to your own individual needs. Our trip was a private 5 day safari, and we asked to add an additional day pre/post our safari in Arusha due to flight arrival/departure times. The team happily accommodated our request and was able to find and book us in a wonderful 4 star hotel in Arusha for a reasonable price. The safari itself was beyond our expectations. Our driver James had the knowledge, skills and thoughtfulness to make sure we always had the best view possible when encountering the animals. We saw the “Africa Big 5” during our safari(and many many more animals) which was amazing. We completed our safari in February when the number of other tours was lowee which allowed us to observe the animals as long as we desired(not to mention it was also calving season so we saw all the newly born animals, too!). As if showing us all the awesome wildlife wasn’t enough, James also made sure to keep our comfort and safety as a top priority by frequently checking in with us to make sure we were okay, and fulfilling any requested stops we may have had (souvenirs, snacks, bathrooms, etc). All this is to say, if you want a professional, knowledgeable, and experienced safari operator in Tanzania look no further, you won’t regret it!

James was such a great tour guide, we were very happy. We can’t wait to come back
Where do I even start. This was probably the most magical vacation ever and with the help of Msangai Adventure Safaris, it made the tour even better. I’m so glad we went with them. From the very beginning the communication with the booking and reservation team was easy. I told them my dates and they build me a while itinerary. They made the whole experience easy and just worth the wild. Our tour guy James the was such a great guide. He made sure we got to see all the big 5 and so much more. I definitely recommend. 10 out 10 on the accommodations, food, tour guide and company.

Fulfilling a once in a life experience
Our Safari expectations were set high, but our journey with Msangai Adventures surpassed them.
We opted for a 5-day private midrange tour with two days in the Serengeti. The responsive back office team replied quickly to our requests.
On Safari day, our guide and skilled driver, Emanuel, picked us up from our hotel.
Our guide consistently provided warm lunches, setting our experience apart from others offering just sandwhiches .
The accommodation in the midrange lodges was phenomenal and always a highlight.
Beyond the wildlife and Tanzania's breathtaking landscapes, witnessing our guide’s and other guides’ dedication to assisting stuck or troubled vehicles in challenging terrains was truly inspiring.
In summary, Msangai Adventures will fulfill you a life time experience. You should definitely request a quote!
Professional, helpful company.
We booked a last minute trip with Msangai and were not disappointed. The booking staff in Tanzania were prompt and helpful. We took a 5 day safari and visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro reserve and crater, 2 days in Serangeti and Manyara Lake. The itinerary was very well planned to spread sights in between long drives. Our driver Emmanuel was great. Prompt, helpful, personable. Spoke excellent English and able to joke with us. He was very knowledgeable and tried extremely hard to find all the animals. He made sure we saw all the big 5. All the accommodation was good . I also think the 5 day trip was good value for what we paid . We had an amazing time.

5 days of unforgettable experiences
We had such a wonderful trip with Msangai adventures. Everything was so well organised from first communication to the final drop off. Our guide James was very knowledgeable and an excellent driver. The accommodations were fantastic the staff were all incredibly friendly and the food was good. We really enjoyed lunches in the bush. Watch out for monkeys! 5 days was the perfect amount of time for the itinerary. The Serengeti was magical and seeing Rhinos in the Ngorongoro crater was a highlight. Elephants in Tarangire were abundant. Would certainly recommend the Msangai Adventure to all.

Wonderful experience
We booked a five-day safari with Msangai covering Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara in December 2023.
We had previously requested quotes from five companies offering similar routes. Msangai stood out against the other companies through its transparent conditions, communication, value for money, and professional makeup of the website and quote. The communication with the booking team was excellent and they customised the safari to our wishes and answered any questions we had ahead of the safari.
We were met by Erick on the morning of departure at the accommodation Msangai had arranged for us for the night before the start of the safari and then set out on our safari together with our driver, Emanuel. Emanuel was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to ensure that we had a great experience, could see all the animals we wished to see, and had an overall stress-free time during the safari.
The accommodation booked for us was great in all aspects. Msangai also ensured that our food preferences were accommodated by the venues.
A huge thank you to the Msangai team that made sure that we had a wonderful experience on our first safari!
