Excellent Tour Operator!
We did a 4 night private tour to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our guide Ayubu was kind and always available. The organization was by Oliver who we met on the last day, she was also very kind and friendly. Perfect accommodations, perfect car, perfect guide, everything perfect! Recommended for a safari in Tanzania! thanks for everything!

Safari perfectly organized and at a fair price
Our driver was a capable and reliable guide, as well as being an excellent travel companion. There were 4 of us tourists and he always proved to be attentive to everyone's needs and we could democratically discuss how to organize the day. Mafie proved to be very reliable in managing the times and services offered and ready to help us in case of requests for changes, we always felt in good hands.
In addition to the safari, really appreciated the bike tour in Mto Wa Mbu.

Great communication to clients
I’ve been scouting for a good Safari company in Tanzania since this is a trip of a lifetime for my family. I chose Mafie Adventures among the rest because of their great communication from start to finish. Ellie was our kind and nice safari guide. He has extensive knowledge about our safari, great driver, good communication, has patience and perseverance. The lodges that Mafie gave us were all Beautiful, with great food. We rested well after a long day Game drive.
Mafie Adventures stands out as the best safari game drive companies due to their exceptional knowledge, outstanding customer and personalized safari experiences. Choosing them guarantees an unforgettable adventure in the heart of the wilderness.

Best Animal Spotter
During the 5 days of our safari we managed to see a lot of animals, the guide was very helpful and informative.
The car was comfortable and the issues have been solved asap.
The lodges were great and the meals very varied.
I definitely recommend MAFIE.

Excellent Kilimanjaro climb
Myself and my partner climbed Kilimanjaro with Mafie adventures via the Lemosho route.
We took 8 days but felt in hindsight it could have been completed in 7. However, neither of us had much effect of altitude so perhaps the longer route was beneficial. We enjoyed the route as it was varied and, with the exception of summit day, pleasantly manageable.
The team was 12 in total: 9 porters, 1 chef, 1 assistant guide and 1 guide. Everyone was very helpful and dedicated in making it the best experience. The guide Oliver in particular was very knowledgeable and had the relevant safety equipment. The chef also cooked exceptional food to a restaurant standard - unbelievable for the setting! The porters also worked exceptionally hard.
Be mindful that tipping is expected and is per person so ask how many will be in the team before you depart. In advance, we were not given much information e.g. on what to bring so don't be shy to ask.
Overall, I would highly recommend Mafie adventures for the full Kilimanjaro experience.

Safari + Kilimanjaro Sep. 2023 - IT WAS PERFECT!
From the beginning everything went well, we talked to Arustus before the trip and met him at the airport as soon as we got there.
Beside a minor change of the start date for the climb (eventually we started one day earlier than planned) everything went like clockwork! The hotels and lodges were very nice and have the value for money we expected for and beyond! Our guides were superb, helped us in everything we needed and became real friends, whom I remain in contact with until today! This goes for both the Kilimanjaro experience and for the safari tour. I recommend this type operator!
P.s. When saying 'we' I mean two male 25 years old travellers.

Helpful & Friendly
Communication was really good from Mafie Adventures and everything from pick up at the airport to our hot air balloon trip was organised for us, there was a mistake with one of our accommodations and our guide called the office and they fixed the problem very quickly and found us an alternative. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly and made sure we saw all animals as much as possible and got as close as we could.

Highly recommend
I was with my husband for 3 nights and 4 days and we joined a group of 6. The accommodation was particularly good for the 2night of the Lodge 1night Luxury Tent Camp, so I was able to relieve the tiredness of the tour all day long. There was a small problem, but there was no problem because the Mafia Venture solved it right away. This is my favorite part. The price is also reasonable. I loved that lunch was not a lunch box, but also included a drink, beer, and wine. Personally, I don't think the private tour will be fun, but I really liked the safari that I enjoyed with various people. In particular, I can't forget the warm atmosphere of Ngorongoro's Rhino lodge.

Amazing day trip to Ngorongoro
I made a day trip to Ngorongoro departing from Arusha. Omar was our driver and he did an excellent job. The roads inside and outside the Ngorongoro crater area as well as the 4x4 vehicle used were modern and comfortable. We had been a group of 8 people in the car - some of them were on a multi day safari. I met the others of the group for breakfast in a town close to the crater. We entered the crater at about 9.30 am and left at 4 pm. That gave us enough time to see many birds, zebras, wildebeests, bonobos, … and all the animals of the big five except for the leopard. The scenery of Ngorongoro in itself is already worth the visit. Having our picnic with delicious food at a lake was just the icing on the cake.
When I come to Tanzania in a few years, I would go to the Ngorongoro crater with Mafie Adventures again.
