A well-organized safari tour that made us truly happy.
Our safari in Tanzania was absolutely incredible! We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, and every day brought new and unforgettable moments. Our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and always attentive to our needs. He made the entire journey enjoyable and educational.
The food was always pretty much the same, but it was totally fine. The tents and lodges were very comfortable, giving us a great place to relax after long days of exploring.
We also visited the Materuni Waterfalls including a traditional coffee tour. It was absolutely beautiful and a wonderful experience that perfectly complemented our safari. We even hiked to the top of the waterfalls, which was more of a challenge because it was steep and slippery, but definitly worth it.
Overall, we were very happy with the entire trip. A fantastic experience we can highly recommend to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

Amazing experience
We had an incredible experience on the day Mount Meru hike. The organization was professional from start to finish, with clear communication. Our guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we felt safe and supported. The views were absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunrise from the summit. The accommodations were comfortable, and the meals were surprisingly good for a mountain hike.

5-days private fly-in safari - unforgettable - perfectly organised by a very considerate team
Choosing the right safari company among so many options can feel like a little bit of a gamble but Jambo Masai Tours gave us three from the start on a very good feeling of confidence. Of course, we were a little sceptical at first, but our experience turned out to be excellent from start to finish. Including the payment aspect went very easy; the advance of 30% is smoothly payed through Pesapal, the remaining balance was conveniently paid locally.
Raphael was in fact fantastic, already from the first contact on he was always there for you. He reassured us about everything before the trip and always replied to our messages and questions instantly, which really gave us peace of mind. The contact is very smoothly and nothing is too much to ask for.
Every day of our safari was perfectly organized, from the very beginning with a fly-in to the Serengeti/Seronera-airstrip, which is very handy and above all a very scenic and special little trip. We did Serengeti-Ngorongoro-Tarangire and saw so much more than we ever expected. From breathtaking landscapes to close-up wildlife encounters, so many different animals, included the big five. Yes, also the rhino that we were lucky to spot two times in the Ngorongoro crater, be it from quite a distance.
Brian, our driver & guide, was a perfect match for us and he was definitely a real expert. He handled every road and every situation with ease, and his knowledge about the animals, the parks, his magnificent country and its culture was impressive. You could ask him everything. Also agreeing on what you prefer to do or to see during each day is no problem at all. We had 5 very enjoyable days with Brian.
The mid-range lodges we stayed at each night were luxurious, spotless, extremely comfortable and clean - perfect places to relax after a day full of adventure. Each one had very friendly staff, offered great food and service as well as beautiful surroundings that made the experience even more special.
We can highly recommend this team - professional, friendly and truly passionate about what they do. A huge thank-you to Raphael and Brian for this perfectly organised 5 days without any worries, and for giving us three an unforgettable journey! The warmth and sincere care we received made it also feel so good.

Unforgettable safari with an agency that cares!
Jambo Masai Tours provided a highly professional and enjoyable safari to Amboseli, Tarangire, Serengeti National Parks and Ngorongoro Crater in October 2025. They were very responsive to emails and helped us to personalise our itinerary in advance of our arrival. Our guide Brighton was excellent and very knowledgeable and passionate about the animals, the landscape, and the culture of Tanzania. We learnt a lot and felt like we were welcomed to Tanzania by a friend. The lodges we stayed at were all fantastic, the food was delicious and even lunch was a hearty meal each time. The vehicle we travelled in was comfortable with lots of space, and we felt at home. If you are considering booking a safari with Jambo Masai Tours, do not hesitate, as you won't regret it! We had a trip of a lifetime and really felt considered and cared for throughout. Thank you Brighton, Raphael, and Hadija!

6-Day Safari
Our 6-day safari was an absolute highlight. The three days we spent in the Serengeti were especially breathtaking and highly recommended. The endless open plains and incredible wildlife are truly unique. An unforgettable experience!

Not communicating the facts.
After booking a 7 day Safari, i found out that day 1 of 7 only consists of checking in to your hotel although the itinerary clearly states that your adventure will begin after meeting the team. No team was ever met. Day 2 was no adventure either. After driving about 75 kms, we had breakfast then i was passed off to another tour company altogether. Day 3 and 4 were fine, but when it came to organizing my balloon trip, the driver new nothing about it. I had to text Jambo Masai Tours and connect them with the driver. After that, things did not get better. On the 5th day, my guide was returning to Arusha with all guests. I informed him that my Safari was for 7 days, not 5. He arranged for me to be transferred to another company, but by then, i was completely fed up an cut my Safari short by 2 days. I concidered requesting a refund, but i didnt want anything more to do with Jambo Masai tours.

Posted on Oct 17, 2025Dear Colin,
Warm greetings from Jambo Masai Tours, and thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We truly value your feedback and are sorry to hear that some parts of your safari did not fully meet your expectations.
We would like to kindly clarify that, as mentioned during your pre-safari briefing, Day 1 of your 7-day itinerary is an arrival day, dedicated to your airport transfer and hotel check-in, with no safari activities scheduled. The adventure officially begins the following morning after meeting the team for your safari orientation.
Regarding the joining (shared) safari arrangement, this was also explained during your briefing. Since this is a shared experience, we collaborate with a few of our trusted partner companies to ensure smooth logistics and guest comfort throughout the journey. This is a common practice among safari operators to optimize group coordination and maintain quality service.
The distance you mentioned reflects the drive from Arusha to Mto Wa Mbu, where you left early in the morning to reach the first point on the itinerary for breakfast before starting the journey toward Serengeti National Park. This stop is included to ensure comfort and a smooth start to the safari.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience with the balloon safari communication. Once we were informed, our team immediately coordinated with both the balloon operator and your driver to ensure the activity went ahead smoothly — and we were happy to hear from you that it turned out to be a wonderful experience.
Regarding your early return to Arusha, our guide informed us and we reached out to confirm with you directly. You mentioned that you had already seen a lot and preferred to conclude your safari early. We respected your decision and arranged your transfer accordingly.
We deeply regret any frustration you experienced and truly appreciate your understanding. Your feedback helps us continue improving our coordination and communication with both guests and partners to deliver even better experiences in the future.
Warm regards,
Michael Tora

Raphael and Hadija were great to work with, very quick to respond and very helpful with ideas.
Our safaris with Jambo Masai Tours were planned according to the areas we were interested in seeing and to fit our budget. The accommodations were very nice for the money. Our tour guides for the safaris were very knowledgeable and we saw lots of animals including the big five. We took a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti which was amazing in itself. We are in our early seventies and my husband has Parkinson’s and we were able to do this trip because everyone was so helpful to us. Since it was vehicle safaris, we didn’t have to do very much walking. Overall, I would encourage seniors or anyone to take this trip of a lifetime as we did. The people were great and I got home without my jackets, which Raphael promptly sent them to me! Unbelievable trip!
