Excellent professional and customer focused operator
I can strongly recommend Ernest Magic Tours and Safaries and for you who maybe like us were new to this and not sure what to choose amongst tons of offers here is why I found this operator nothing but just excellent.
First of all Ernest MT are a completely reliable operator. We had some troubles transferring money and we had to make a few late changes to the trip and all was accommodated without any problems. Ernest, the owner himself, even turned up and met us in the Kilimanjaro airport.
Second, everything was delivered according to the standards, description and itinerary described in the contract, no surprises.
Third, the company is still relatively small and works only with experienced guides. This is probably the absolute most important part to look for. Our guide Karim had 15 years of experience and was outstanding, completely committed give us as clients the best possible experience from our perspective. We love to see as much as possible of culture, landscape and of course wildlife and he gave us that, was very friendly and almost became and extra member of the family during the trip. You spend around 12-14 hours a day with your guide so this is important.
When you are on safari there is no guarantee that you will see every animal but the experienced guides, like Karim, give you a better chance and when you have found the animal, the next thing is to find the right way to see it. The experiences guide can predict the next move and in many occasions our jeep was positioned in the front row of action e.g. the leopard claiming a three, a cheetah with her five cubs playing around her or a herd of elephants crossing the road just in front of the jeep.
Fourth, giving the little extra. On our way back on a day where we spend more than 14 hours together, there was still time for a 30 min stop in a town on Christmas day attending a local market.
I am sure there are many good safari operators and some bad. If you choose Ernest MT I think I can say you are in good hands. Our experience was just excellent.

Unforgettable 3-Day Safari Experience – Highly Recommended!
We had an absolutely amazing 3-day safari experience and couldn’t be happier with our choice. From the very first contact, everything was organized professionally, smoothly, and with great attention to detail.
Our guide was outstanding – incredibly knowledgeable, patient, kind, and always made sure we felt comfortable and safe. He shared so much interesting information about the wildlife, nature, and local culture, which made every game drive even more special. We were lucky enough to see an incredible variety of animals, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and so much more – truly beyond our expectations.
The accommodations were well chosen, clean, and comfortable, and the food was delicious throughout the trip. Traveling with a child, I especially appreciated how thoughtful, calm, and caring the entire team was. Everything felt well-paced and never rushed.
What really stood out was the personal care and honesty. When there was an excess payment, Ernest personally met us and returned it – something that speaks volumes about the integrity and professionalism of this company.
This safari was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us, full of beautiful moments and memories we will treasure forever. I can wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone looking for a trustworthy, well-organized, and truly memorable safari in Tanzania.
Thank you to the entire team for making this journey so special. We would choose you again without hesitation!
