Exceptional Tour
5/5

Johny Jackson is a dedicated and professional tour guide. He’s very knowledgeable about the safari and experienced guide. As animals are constantly moving, he is able to anticipate the direction of the animals and quickly positioned his jeep ahead at optimal position. He’s also very familiar with the park’s direction and is able to move quickly to a specific location when information is shared on the radio. My wife and I have a great time 8 days touring with him.

Great Safari from Zanzibar
5/5

We went on a 3-day, 2-night safari from Zanzibar – and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Communication with the organizer was excellent from the very beginning. He reached out in advance to make sure we had all the information we needed, and during the trip, he checked in with us daily, which made us feel very safe and well taken care of.

Our adventure started early with a morning flight from Zanzibar to Arusha. After a short wait, we met our driver Jeff and joined four other travelers for our first safari day in Tarangire National Park. We had a fantastic and exciting day with lots of animal sightings, and drinks and lunch were included, which made it a comfortable experience.

In the evening, we arrived at our accommodation. The first room we were given didn’t meet our expectations, but after reaching out to the organizer, we were quickly offered a different one. It was still quite basic, but in line with the budget-friendly nature of the lodge. We really appreciated how fast and professionally our concerns were addressed.

The next morning, we headed to the Ngorongoro Crater – the absolute highlight of our trip! The landscape and wildlife there were breathtaking, and we would highly recommend visiting this stunning place. After another long but incredible day, we returned to our accommodation.

On the third day, we visited Lake Manyara National Park. This time it was just the two of us with Jeff, which made it a very personal and relaxed experience. While we didn’t see as many animals in this park, the scenery was beautiful and peaceful – and of course, spotting wildlife is never guaranteed, as it’s all part of nature. Jeff was kind enough to stop at a few shops and places we wanted to visit on the way back, which we really appreciated.

Jeff was a fantastic driver and guide – very friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to share interesting facts about the parks, animals, and plants. At the end of the tour, we met with the organizer again in Arusha, and they arranged a smooth transfer to Kilimanjaro Airport for our flight back to Zanzibar.

All in all, we would definitely recommend this safari tour – especially because of the excellent organization and our amazing guide. A different accommodation would have made the trip even better, and perhaps a bit more time in the park on the last day, but overall, it was a memorable and rewarding adventure!

Excellent
5/5

I contacted the company by email and they answered me immediately by return email and also contacted me on WhatsApp, which was very convenient. We talked on WhatsApp and tailored the trip to my requirements. The hotels were good and even customizable. They sent me a detailed and rich trip plan. Everything worked according to plan. It was very convenient and safe.

Another unforgettable and unique safari - Madini Africa Adventure is highly recommended.
5/5

I chose Madini Africa Adventure with friends again, because I was so impressed with the safari the first time. And what can I say, it was the best decision ever.

Madini Africa Adventure offers an all-round carefree safari with great travel comfort.
The LandCruiser was in very good condition, comfortable and attention was also paid to cleanliness after a day on safari.
The long experience was noticeable in every respect. The lodges were carefully selected and met our expectations. We felt that we were in good hands and safe at all times.
Our guide spoke very good German and English and gave us a great insight into the culture, landscape and wildlife of Tanzania.

We decided to add some local activities to our safari like waterfall at Kilimanjaro, own coffee roasting, swimming in natural pools, bicycle tour and Masai village. We visited the well-known national parks in the northern part of Tanzania. Our individual wishes were taken into account very precisely and implemented in the best possible way.

We really appreciate the many years of experience of our tour guide, because we experienced one highlight after another and were amazed.
From large herds of elephants, an active leopard, a feeding pride of lions, a rhino up close, wildebeest migration to several cheetahs and much more we were able to experience. We enjoyed our lunch every day in the countryside, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and sometimes animals (for example near a herd of wildebeest).

I had an unforgettably wonderful time, with lots of great new experiences and adventures that I will never forget. It was one of the best trips of my life. A safari in Tanzania is worth every penny and I would always choose a private safari again.

Madini Africa Adventure is highly recommended, I would always choose this local and very trustworthy safari operator again.

Thank you Madini Africa Adventure for this unique safari!

What a team, what an experience
5/5

Communication with Viva Safaris up to the safari itself was pleasant: Patti responded quickly and helped me in getting the perfect package. The safari itself was to die for: driving on the savannah during sunrise, seeing the whole sky turn orange and red, passing a group of zebras while hearing the roar of a lion further away from the vehicle. I kept thinking 'this won't be my only safari'.

The team itself was nothing short of amazing too: very kind and helpful, amazing food (especially dinners were my highlight, though I would recommend getting something like protein shakes or bars if you want to stick to your daily protein goals. It is possible to reach 100gr on a daily basis, but with the available South African diet you go way up in calories as well. I.e. Billtong has +30gr of protein but is also easily +400 in kcal per 100gr) the catering staff always had the biggest smile on their faces and the rangers/ drivers were always willing to explain during the drives. Also, I had my stay in the Tremisana Lodge and it was very comfortable. A/C available but not needed since I went un June (at night temperatures would be around 12-15C), small fridge, good shower and more than enough space for 2 people.

I would def book again with Viva Safaris, my safari has been amazing thanks to the team and the savannah!

My tour operator was solution-oriented, very polite and helpful.Thank you Innocent.
5/5

We purchased a 3-day tour of Zanzibar starting from Dar Es Salaam, including Tarengeri, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara.At the beginning of the tour, Precisionair sent us tickets to fly from Dar es Salaam to Arusha. We were picked up from our hotel in Dar es Salaam right on time. Unfortunately, Precision Air is a very bad airline. Shortly after takeoff, the plane returned to Dar es Salaam. No explanation was given, the plane was broken. We waited at the airline for 6 hours. During this period, Innocent tried to arrange a new ticket for us, but it did not work. Finally, we were able to buy new tickets and fly to Arusha. The tour company covered the cost of the plane ticket we paid.but unfortunately we missed the first day of the tour. İnnocent helped us by giving us a free night's accommodation. We saw the big five rhinos from afar, we could see all of them with that difficulty. It has a wonderful nature in 3 parks, we saw the most animals in Ngorongoro. Lake Manyara is quite small. Instead, a tour with Serengeti can be considered. The things I can say negatively are that we went on safari with different groups in 3 days. This may be related to the day we missed. Also, we left early on the last day due to the flight time of some people in the group from Tarengeri. I would like to thank İnnocent and Majestic Tour for their constructive and polite attitudes throughout this process. The safari was an experience I will never forget in my life.

I did my 7 days safari with Johny Jackson . The safari was amazing. Johny can always find the best position to take picture. Everything is fine. I saw all I expected before the departure, even more. This is my best experience in Africa.
