Serengeti Safari – A Journey I'll Never Forget
I just visited Serengeti National Park with Maasai African Guides, and it exceeded my expectations. The vast stretches, golden light, and an abundance of wildlife is a once in a lifetime experience
The lodges were stunning and hospitable, with amazing views and tasty food. I felt deeply connected to nature, and each day delivered something fresh and surprising.

KNOWLEDGEABLE
I had the incredible opportunity to experience a 6-day safari from 22/04/2025 in Tanzania with Maasai African Guides DMC, and I can confidently say it was one of the most unforgettable adventures of my life. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism by the team. Every detail of our journey from ,accommodation to daily game drives was thoughtfully curated.
Our guide was knowledgeable, fun, and deeply passionate about wildlife and conservation. We explored iconic parks like Serengeti, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro Crater, and saw everything from lions and elephants to cheetahs and flamingos. What made it even more special was the personal touch and cultural insights the team shared along the way.
I highly recommend Maasai African Guides to anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized safari experience in Tanzania. Their dedication, care, and expertise made this trip truly expectation.

An exceptional tour operator that makes every safari a unique and memorable experience.
Charles was always available to help us design our safari route, and he was fantastic.
Our guide, Barto, has been outstanding, always going the extra mile to ensure we had the best possible experience. He has been attentive to the children at all times, found perfect spots and angles to photograph the animals, and every morning we found the vehicle clean with a bottle of water at each seat. He’s always looking for the animals the kids request—giraffes, zebras, gazelles, hyenas, wildebeests, lions, servals, birds, leopards, cheetah... He has infinite patience.
The value for money is the best I have ever found. We will definitely come back to Tanzania. We did a 6-day safari visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, the Migration at Ndutu, and Ngorongoro. The safari was amazing, and the night safari in Tarangire was truly a highlight. The lodges were fantastic (although the Arusha hotel could use a little improvement).
The Maasai African Guides team also made sure to check in on the last day to see what went well and where improvements could be made. Exceptional local tour operators with fantastic communication and problem-solving skills.
his was the best trip of our lives, and we can’t wait to return!

Posted on Apr 5, 2025Thank you for Your Exceptional Review of Your Tanzania Safari Experience!
Dear valued Ainhoa,
I am truly humbled by your wonderful review of your Tanzania safari experience with Maasai African Guides. As a senior tour consultant, nothing brings me greater joy than knowing your family had "the best trip of your lives" with us!
I'm particularly pleased that Barto exceeded your expectations as your guide. His attention to detail – from keeping the vehicle pristine with water bottles ready each morning to his infinite patience with the children's wildlife requests – truly exemplifies the dedicated service we strive to provide. His skill in finding perfect photography angles for all those amazing animals (giraffes, zebras, gazelles, hyenas, wildebeests, lions, servals, birds, leopards, and cheetah) is something we take great pride in.
Your 6-day Serengeti safari across Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu for the Great Migration, and Ngorongoro Crater covered Tanzania's premier wildlife destinations perfectly. I'm especially delighted that the night safari in Tarangire was a highlight – it offers such a unique perspective on nocturnal wildlife that many visitors miss!
Thank you for your valuable feedback about the lodges, including the note about the Arusha hotel. We continuously review our accommodation partners to ensure the highest standards, and your input helps us improve.
We at Maasai African Guides are committed to creating authentic Tanzania wildlife tours that showcase our magnificent wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and rich Maasai culture. From the Great Migration to the Big Five and beyond, our local expertise ensures every safari is tailored to our guests' dreams.
Your satisfaction and the memories you've created with your family are our greatest rewards. We would be honored to welcome you back to Tanzania for another adventure – perhaps to witness a different season of the Migration, explore the southern circuit including Selous Game Reserve and Ruaha National Park, or enjoy a cultural extension to Zanzibar's pristine beaches.
Asante sana (thank you very much) for choosing Maasai African Guides for your Tanzania safari adventure!
Warm regards,
