Great communication, honest and very friendly.
We booked a safari for our family through Kibo.
I have 2 children aged 7 and 12 and wanted them to have the best experience on this trip.
We did some research back at home in the UK and came across very good reviews for Kibo.
I was sent a quote with prices that included taxi rides to and from our hotel, the flights, visas and of course the safari.
The whole experience from booking, to being picked up by Tariq from our hotel was excellent.
Once we arrived in mainland Tanzania our guide Sayed led us to the Jeep. We were lucky to have had lions walk right by us within the first 25 mins.
His knowledge was unmatched and he made the whole experience more interesting with facts about each of the animals.
Overall this whole trip was an unforgettable one and the kids were super happy.
Thank you
Tariq, Sayed and the rest of Kibo

Pleasant and kind
Brian fro Kibo helped make our family safari across Tanzania a truly memorable experience. We were a diverse group of eight—including kids and senior citizens—and Brian was patient, supportive, and accommodating from the initial quotation through several itinerary adjustments. He handled logistics seamlessly, including arranging for our excess luggage to be transferred directly to Zanzibar so we didn't have to worry about the strict baggage limits on small bush flights.
For the safari, we had two dedicated vehicles that were comfortable, well-maintained, and fully stocked with drinks. Brian ensured the day-to-day safari arrangements ran smoothly, and most of the lodge accommodations he recommended were great.
That said, there are two areas where the experience could have been elevated:
Safari Guides: While the overall safari was enjoyable, having more engaging, proactive guides would have made the game drives significantly better.
Zanzibar Leg: The hotel selection did not quite suit our group's preferences. It was undergoing refurbishment during our stay, and for a family of our size, booking a private shared villa would have worked far better than dispersed individual rooms.
Brian is exceptionally capable when it comes to Tanzania safari planning and logistics, but paying closer attention to guide quality and the post-safari Zanzibar experience would make the entire trip flawless.
I would highly recommend Brian and would definitely use his services anytime in the near and distant future.

Attentive and kind team, flexible organization, definetely reccomended
We organized a 4 days safari in Northern Tanzania with them. They're flexible and precise in communicating and organizing the trip and payments, and our guide/driver Brian and Issa were kind, precise, available and patient, and really appreciated by our family group. We absolutely reccomend Kibo Mawenzi Safaris, if I could rate a 6 stars, I would have given them!

Well organized
The team was responsive, patiently answered all my questions, and put together a custom ad-hoc itinerary that fit my needs perfectly. When I needed to change my hotel booking, they handled it quickly and smoothly. Professional and easy to work with — highly recommend!

Very friendly and professional
An absolutely unforgettable experience! We were picked up right at our hotel in Zanzibar and accompanied all the way to the gate, then boarded the plane and flew over to Mikumi. The flight alone was an experience in itself!
Upon arrival, our guide brought us straight to the safari vehicle. We saw all the animals we could have hoped for. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and answered every single question we had. We could take photos at every stop and never felt rushed in any way.
There were a few other safari vehicles at some spots, but really only occasionally, since the park is huge. We got very close to the animals and gained wonderful insights into nature. For lunch, we enjoyed delicious traditional food, and on the way back to the plane we spotted even more wildlife.
The return flight and transfer back to the airport were just as relaxed. It was amazing to see how respectfully the guides treat nature and how attentive and courteous they were with us. A truly unforgettable experience — highly recommended!

Very well organized, everything went smooth. Unforgettable experience
We did 1 day private safari in Nyerere (Selous) national park - amazing tour, saw lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, monkeys, antilopes, buffalos, zebras, snakes and many other species.
From the pick up at the hotel, flight with the 10-passengers cesna, safari itself to the return at the hotel - all smooth, without any issues.
Our guide Martini made sure we saw all the game (btw it is not a zoo, you might not see all of them in 1 day) that we could, explained everything about the animals or the park.
We had great lunch prepared by the local team in the middle of the day.
100% recommend if you prefer to be taken care of by professionals and enthusiastic people rather than big agencies.
Hakuna Matata!

Peaceful family time
My family and I recently completed a 7 days safari in Tanzania. Thanks to the professional Kibo Mawenzi Safaris and the whole team for the excellent organization. Communication was easy, the service was professional, and the safari was truly memorable. Tanzania truly gave us a wonderful seven-day wildlife experience, which we would remember forever.

4 days was completely enjoyable, immersive, and endlessly memorable.
We booked Kibo Mawenzi Safaris for this four-day private safari and we were expecting a nice trip and honestly got something far more profound.
Each park had its own unique vibes. The journey to Tarangire began with a calm morning and elephants roaming very close to our vehicle. From there we entered the Serengeti, where its vastness truly overwhelmed us; cheetahs resting in the tall grass and wildebeest stretching to the horizon. The most impressive for most of us was the Ngorongoro Crater, a natural amphitheater filled with rhinos, hyenas and lots of animals. Our guide (Elia & Peter) knowledge was extraordinary. He was spotting animals we would never have seen and telling stories that brought the ecosystem to life. The campfire food, starry skies, and warm hospitality made it a fantastic adventure. Unforgettable experience.
