Amazing experience climbing my Mount Meru
5/5

Raphael helped organise my trip up to Mount Meru, visiting me the day before my trek started to check my gear and coming with the guide to talk me through the itinerary and answer all my questions. The next day they picked me up at 9am and drove me to the gear rental shop (not the cheapest, but had no concerns on cleanliness or quality like other trekkers). The food served was delicious and there was always plenty so I was never hungry. I never felt in danger and especially on summit day when I wasn’t feeling great my two guides took great care of me. Very efficiently dropped back to Arusha airport on the final day to catch my 4pm flight in a car with wifi and charging ports (no electricity whilst climbing). Brilliant experience!

An amazing experience with an extra touch!
5/5

The tour went right as it was planned. The operator was always available for questions, both prior to the safari and even during the trip. The lodge was amazing and the service at the tented lodge was impeccable and engaged. But the one thing that made this safari a once-in a lifetime experience was our ranger Ruben. He had great knowledge about the country and the wildlife and a lot of experience, which came at hand when a thunderstorm was coming up. Moreover he was kind and had a great network which made him find a lot of animals that otherwise are hard to see. He was an amazing guide and made such a big difference. We will definitely recommend Jambo Masai Tours to our family and friends!

Joel was the kind of guide every traveler hopes to get, attentive, patient genuine and knowledgeable
5/5

If you’re doing the Materuni Waterfall, coffee tour, or Maasai village tour, definitely ask for Joel…one solid guy. Professional, knowledgeable, down to earth, and genuinely made the whole experience better from start to finish. We laughed the whole day, I learned a lot, and he always made sure I was good, even helping me through slippery areas and making me a walking stick on the spot. The coffee tour and Maasai village experience both felt authentic, fun, and enlightening. Also shoutout to this kid called “Paparazzi” for the amazing photos and slow motion videos.

It was my unforgettable moment!
5/5

It was great that we could see all of the Big Five animals. Also, I appreciated that transportation from Moshi to Arusha was provided.
Our driver, Joel, had a lot of historical knowledge, so the ride from Moshi to Arusha was really interesting.
It was also easy to communicate with them because they replied very quickly.

Trip of a lifetime
5/5

Our safari trip in the central Serengeti and ngorongoro crater with jambo masai tours was an absolute dream come true. We visited as part of our honeymoon and we feel so privileged to have had this experience.

From our initial booking, we had excellent communication from the team updating us regularly and answering any questions we had. There was changes to our accommodation due to renovations however this was all explained and didn’t effect our trip at all.

The whole trip was incredible value for money compared to other companies we had enquired with and we definitely did not feel there was anything missing.

We had transport arranged from our hotel to Zanzibar airport where we then flew to Arusha to board a tiny plane to the Serengeti (seronera airstrip). The small plane was such an experience, we saw giraffes whilst landing at one of the stops which really started our safari off on a high. We were then collected in our safari vehicle which transported us throughout our safari and took us to Arusha airport at the end of our trip for our flight home.

Our accomadation was amazing especially safari heaven. Being right among the animals in the Serengeti was such a beautiful surreal experience and one of the highlights of our trips was lying in bed hearing the hyenas calling just outside.

Our guide Isaya (Isaih) was just the loveliest guide we could have asked for. He really made our trip. He was so friendly and kind and so incredibly knowledgable about the areas we visited on safari and all the animals. We learned so much from him. Couldn’t imagine our trip without him. Thanks to Isaya’s knowledge and experience we had so many amazing encounters with so many animals and he made sure we seen everything we wanted to prioritise. For us it was elephants and lions and we fortunately seen both several times. Please pass on our gratitude to him again.

We also booked a hot air balloon ride as part of our package. I don’t think I will ever be able to get over how utterly magical this was. Flying in a hot air balloon seeing all the animals below was so special and definitely the highlight of our trip.

We already are wishing to come back one day maybe with our children when they are a bit older and wouldnt hesitate to book with jambo again. We will be recommending jambo masai tours to all our friends and family.

Thank you so much for giving us a trip to remember forever

Good company for first time safari
5/5

Jambo Masai and Raphael in particular were instrumental in giving me the confidence and reassurance to come to Tanzania on safari. The excellent communication with Raphael felt reassuring, professional and comforting. I can’t exactly comment on how a safari with them would have been as I was a solo traveller and got placed with a partner company, Travel Africa, who were amazing and Serengeti Safari. I had a different group to venture out with each day, which is OK if you don’t mind that but not exactly how I thought it would be. Although having new guides and jeeps each day, I knew behind the scenes Jambo Masai were making sure all my transfers went to plan. I especially liked staying at the Karibu Lodge. I liked Tarangire and saw lots of animals and Nogorogoro was spectacular! Lake Manyara was OK. The Masai village tour was OK but I felt a bit pressured into buying things from their village at a mega high price.
The guides from the other companies were fantastic and they made it really special.
Would recommend!
