Mambeu Tanzania Safaris

Trip of a Lifetime

We had a fantastic experience in Tanzania this summer.
When we were booking there were many options from which to choose. The hard part was hoping to have a great guide because this could make or break the trip.
We ended up getting a great guide, Macha. From start to finish, Macha made our trip effortless. He listened to us and knew what it was we were looking for. He knew the parks like the back of his hand and took us to places that were a little more remote and there weren’t as many jeeps around. One day we stopped, in silence, and watched a heard of hundreds of zebras, up close, in the Serengeti. No other jeep tours around, just silence, surrounded by one of the most beautiful scenes we had ever seen. Every day was more exciting than the day before. We saw prides of lions, individual lions up close without any one else around. We saw a mother cheetah who just brought her cubs a fresh kill, which was unbelievable to watch. We saw a leopard relaxing in a tree. There were elephants, nursing elephants, giraffes, wildebeest, hippos, warthogs, flamingos and other exotic birds.
Our safari was considered a mid-range safari, but it seemed anything but mid-range. The accommodations were all beautiful. Dinner and breakfast were usually buffet and were always excellent. One of the highlights was an infinite edged pool overlooking the Serengeti.
Our days would begin at about 7:30 or 8:00 when Macha would pick us up at the camp after breakfast. We wouldn’t usually return til about 5 or 6. Even though all the properties were beautiful, we actually didn’t spend all that much time there except for a couple drinks, dinner, some time by a fire and then it was bedtime and off for another day.
All the communication leading up to the trip was spot on. Everything was arranged ahead of time and nothing was left to chance.
Given our experience, we would go back in a second. We are actually thinking of doing another within the next few years.
Should we decide to go, we would absolutely recommend Mambeu Tanzania. We would also hope to be able to have Macha as our guide. He did really make the trip the trip of a lifetime. This experience will be hard to top.
