A professional travel agency that knows Africa inside and out.
We enjoyed both the spectacular nature of Africa and the tasteful luxury hotels.
Our guide was kind and taught us a lot about the animals and Africa, which allowed us to enjoy the trip more deeply!

Flexible, conforting, attentive, they made my experience unique. 100% recommendable.
I booked activities in Zanzibar, a 10 safari in Kenia and Tanzania and lemosho route hike to Kilimanjaro with Honest and zanzi trekking safari. They are based in Arusha, so the stronger points where in my opinion Safari and Kilimanjaro experienced which is managed by them directly. In Zanzibar and Kenia we had other agencies/people involved, this did not influence the experience is merely informative.
About Zanzibar, we got a guide assigned to us that accompanied us during the trip and welcomed us as we arrived to Zanzibar. We got a walk around stonetown and experienced other activities like blue safari, Nakupenda and Spice tour. I specially enjoyed spice tour. During the trip Honest was constantly in contact with us checking on us, this gave a feeling that I specially recommend anyone coming to this country for the first time.
We continued with Safari, we kicked it off from Arusha, where we first met Honest. My entirr experience in this country was unique and perfect thanks to his dedication, no buts, thank you honest and team. After we met him, we launched the safari were we got mixed with other people in a car as usual. The overall experience in the budget safari was very good, what refers to the agency I had a couple comments during pur trip like extra sleeping bags or itinerary changes that where handled on the spot, fantastic customer service.
Lastly, for the kilimanjaro trip, Honest came to greet us on the airport directly, again after a briefing of the trip we kicked it off with Justin. I can say that the kilimanjaro guide was very professional, Justin was a great spedition leader, very experienced and calm. At the end we had some extra costs that he took over as a commercial gesture, that we appreciated inmensely, again making our trip stress free and honoring Honest name.
Only good words, no buts.

Exceptional and professional!
I enjoyed the whole process of booking and doing a safari with Massawe Adventures! Their professionalism and knowledge was absolutely exceptional.
Idda (our trip organiser) went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable trip. She was very professional and couldn’t thank her enough for all the detailed information and for staying on top of things while planning. She made the whole process go very smoothly.
The places she selected for us to stay were very nice and comfortable. We were able to rest well, had good food and didn’t feel rushed despite having only 3 days to cover Ngorongoro and Serengeti.
The tour guide was friendly, very knowledgable and patient. He explained things well and took us to the best places where we could have close up of the animals. He was able to spot animals which we wouldn’t have been able to notice ourselves.
The trip was truly amazing and our family can’t stop talking about it. It will forever be one of the best trips.
Thank you Massawe Adventures!

Professional, courteous, helpful
I booked a last minute tour for Mikumi NP the day before arrival. Kihindo Tours responded promptly to my request and helped me book a one-day tour, with pick up from my hotel in Dar es Salaam. The driver was on-time, professional, and courteous an spoke English. We got tothe park at whcih point the in-park driver / guide took over and was similarly excellent. Hihglights of the animals I saw included elephants, baboons, zebra, giraffe, hippos, and a lion. I highly recommend this operator, I enjoyed the excursion greatly.

A trip that brings happiness every time I remember it.
I believe that even the same place can feel different depending on who you're with and how you spend your time. This journey, where I'll follow the best itinerary suggested to me with an exceptional guide, will be a treasure for a lifetime.

Great safari !!!
We took 5 day Safari and it was great experience. We saw everything we could just imagine and even more. First we went to Masai Mara park which is full of wild animals (lions, cheetahs, leopard, elephants, giraffes etc.) and beautiful landscapes. Therefore we went to lake Nakura to saw even more wildlife like hippo , rhinos, flamingos, buffalos etc. Accommodations and food was really good. We had great driver Jack who was very friendly and guide us excellently through this experience.

Amazing 6-day budget safari with Stanley
We did the 6-Day budget safari to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli and had the most wonderful time. The parks themselves are beautiful, with each their own special attractions. The journey from one park to the other is quite long, but 100% worth it. The accommodations are up to standard. When you book a budget trip: don’t expect extreme luxury, as that is not what you pay for. However, all accommodations are comfortable, which is all you want after a long day of safari.
Our biggest thanks to our guide Stanley, without him, this trip would not have been half as good. He was able to show us everything (including the Big Five!) we could imagine and more and was able to predict where and when animals would be and provide us with the best photo opportunities. On top of that, Stanley himself is just a really kind person who'll do everything to make your trip as amazing as possible. I can't praise him enough! Do yourself a favour and ask for Stanley as your guide!

Very reliable & friendly company would 100% recommend.
The service was excellent as the tour operator always answered our questions & concerns quickly. We booked the budget safari 5 days & it was honestly the trip of a lifetime the driver/guide (Emanuel) was always super nice and helpful and made the trip lots of fun, he even managed to get us upgraded from tents to lodges for 2 nights. We really had the best time and couldn’t have spent that money better. The food of our chef was also amazing (will definitely miss those soups & bread). I would definetly recommend booking as we will all cherish those memories forever, watching the sun rise over the Serengeti with lions right by our side was truly magical.
