What a fantastic unforgettable experience
We had the best guide ( Masudi!). He was so knowledgeable in animals, culture and fauna that we learned a lot during the trip. We show incredible things thanks to his outstanding experience. The hotels were all unique in difference ways and of high quality ( we got the mid-range luxury option). Food was always warm and good and having some wine and beer was also very nice ! The car was of high quality and dispute of the difficult roads we had a very good trip in every sense. We just can’t wait to come back and for sure we will choose wakanda and Masudi as guide if possible again. Thank you so much, Asante sana!

Great customer experience loved the service
My family and I recently visited Amboseli National Park, all thanks to Oloropa Safaris. They were incredibly swift with their coordination, constantly checking on us throughout the journey. The Land Cruiser was in excellent condition, and our driver-guide had an impressive knowledge of the wildlife. I wholeheartedly recommend Oloropa Safaris for anyone planning their travels – they truly made our adventure unforgettable! 🌟🚙🦁

A Journey of Adventure, Wildlife, and Cultural Enrichment
Our recent trip with Mahaba Safaris in Tanzania was nothing short of extraordinary. From the initial booking process to the farewell at Zanzibar, every detail was meticulously planned and executed, ensuring an unforgettable experience.
Mahaba Safaris offers a seamless blend of adventure, wildlife, and cultural enrichment, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to explore Tanzania’s natural and cultural wonders.
Tarangire National Park:
Our journey began at Tarangire National Park, known for its vast elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Isaya, our knowledgeable and enthusiastic local guide. The safari vehicle was comfortable and equipped with all necessary amenities, including binoculars and refreshments.
As we ventured into the park, we were immediately struck by the diverse wildlife. Elephants roamed in large numbers, and we were lucky enough to witness a herd crossing the Tarangire River. The park is also home to lions, leopards, cheetahs, and an impressive variety of bird species. Our guide’s expertise was evident as he shared insights about animal behaviors and the park's ecosystem, enhancing our appreciation of the natural world around us.
Ngorongoro Crater:
Next, we traveled to the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The descent into the crater was breathtaking, with panoramic views of the lush landscape below. The crater floor is a haven for wildlife, and we were treated to sightings of the Big Five: lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and even a rhino.
One of the highlights was observing a pride of lions lounging in the sun, seemingly undisturbed by our presence. The abundance of wildlife, combined with the stunning scenery, made this part of our journey truly magical. Our guide Isaya's passion for conservation and his deep knowledge of the area’s history and geology added a rich layer to our experience.
Serengeti National Park:
Our adventure continued in the Serengeti National Park, renowned for its annual wildebeest migration. The sheer scale of the migration was awe-inspiring, and we marveled at the predators following the herds, including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas.
Mahaba Safaris ensured that we stayed in comfortable, well-appointed lodges that blended seamlessly with the natural environment. Evenings were spent around the campfire, sharing stories and listening to the sounds of the African night. The Serengeti’s vast plains and abundant wildlife created an unforgettable backdrop for our safari adventure.
Community and School Visits:
One of the most heartwarming aspects of our trip was visiting the local communities and local school that Mahaba Safaris supports. We had the opportunity to meet the people whose lives have been positively impacted by the company’s charitable efforts. The visits were well-organized and respectful, allowing us to engage with the community in meaningful ways.
We visited a local school where Mahaba Safaris has contributed to building classrooms and providing educational materials. The children’s enthusiasm and joy were contagious, and we were deeply moved by their warm welcome and the dedication of their teachers. Witnessing the tangible difference that Mahaba Safaris is making in these communities was a highlight of our trip and added a profound sense of purpose to our journey.
Zanzibar: The Perfect Ending
After our safari adventure, we flew to Zanzibar for the final leg of our trip. The island’s pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and rich cultural heritage provided the perfect contrast to our wildlife experiences. Mahaba Safaris arranged for us to stay in a luxurious beachfront resort, where we could relax and unwind.
Zanzibar offered a mix of relaxation and exploration. We enjoyed snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters, exploring the historic Stone Town, and indulging in the island’s vibrant culinary scene. The island’s laid-back atmosphere and stunning natural beauty made it an ideal place to reflect on our incredible journey.
Conclusion:
Our trip with Mahaba Safaris was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that exceeded all our expectations. The company’s commitment to excellence, combined with its dedication to conservation and community support, sets it apart as a leading safari operator in Tanzania. From the thrilling wildlife encounters in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti to the meaningful community visits and the idyllic days in Zanzibar, every moment was thoughtfully curated and beautifully executed.
Mahaba's attention to detail, passion for wildlife, and genuine care for the communities they work with make them a standout choice for travelers looking to explore this remarkable country.

Wonderful experience with the perfect driver
From the moment we met our driver Alex we felt most welcome. He is funny and always happy and our three kids (4, 7, 9) just loved him.
The safari jeep was spacious and well equiped, there was always enough water and Alex is a great driver. When we showed up at the agreed time he was always already there.
The accomodations were also superb, we had grat food every day and a good nights sleep.
Alex knew his way around and he had always the perfect timing to see lots and lots of animals.
We finished by going to Mombasa by train from Voi. Everything went just perfect!
I can only really recommend the tour with Splendid Vacations. We had the most perfect time! It is 100% worth the money👍👍👍🐘🦛🦓🦒

wonderful, warm, authentic
My husband and I arrived in Kenya and spent a week that we will not forget.
From the first day we were well taken care of by Felix and Joseph who were really confident and professional.
We managed to get a general view of Kenya with the visit to the South.
We had some very beautiful safaris with lots of stars in our eyes.
I have never seen so many elephants in my life.
Felix did not hesitate to show us other places that were not planned for and adapted to any situation.
For food we discovered local dishes and we were delighted.
For the planned sites we were just amazed by the beauty of nature and seeing Mount Kilimanjaro gave us a new sense of many things that the Lord has done.
I recommend Marhaba Holidays if you want to visit Kenya.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a tour with Pure Diamond Tours, guided by Albert himself. From start to finish, Albert exemplified professionalism and a deep commitment to customer satisfaction. He was incredibly responsive to my inquiries prior to the tour, promptly addressing all my questions and concerns.
On the day of the tour to Kruger National Park, Albert was punctual and arrived exactly on time for pick-up. Throughout the drive, he not only navigated skillfully but also enriched the journey with his extensive knowledge of South African culture and broader African heritage. His insights were both enlightening and engaging, providing a deeper understanding of the wildlife and natural beauty of Kruger.
Albert was instrumental to the overall experience, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable trip while prioritizing our safety and comfort. I highly recommend Pure Diamond Tours, especially with Albert at the helm, for anyone seeking a memorable and enriching travel experience in South Africa, particularly to Kruger National Park. His dedication to his craft, genuine passion for sharing knowledge, and professionalism make him an exceptional guide.
