Amazing, trip of a lifetime
Myself and my family have just returned from the holiday of a lifetime on Safari in Tanzania, booked with the amazing Idda at Massawe Adventures.
Idda’s extensive knowledge and expertise made the whole booking process easy and took into account all our wants and needs including my mums request of a luxury tent in the Serengeti with at least 1 wall. Idda also sorted all our visas and Zanzibar travel insurance. She made sure all hotels were informed of any dietary requirements and allergies, upon arrival at breakfast and dinner at the hotels, the head chef would let us know what food fit our dietary requirements and also made special meals if necessary. Idda also arranged at 2 of our accommodation a surprise birthday cake for my dad’s 50th birthday.
On arrival in Tanzania we were met by our guide Temba, who stayed with us for the whole week on safari and what an amazing week we had over 6 nights. We spent one day in the Tarangire national park where we saw, zebras, elephants, giraffes and a rare leopard and then we travelled to the Ngorongro Farm House for 2 nights. The next day we went to the Ngorongoro crater where we saw baboons, Hippos, Hyenas, Flamingos and a rare Rhino. We then traveled to the Serengeti the next day which we stayed at the Kubu kubu tented lodge for 4 nights in the Serengeti, the tented lodge had amazing views of the Serengeti plain and some like ours had outdoor showers. In the Serengeti, we were treated to several sightings of lions along with their cubs, we saw another rare leopard along with 2 cheetahs. We also got to experience the spectacle which is the great migration of wilderbeest and zebras. Another highlight was leaving the Serengeti from Seronera airstrip which is just a dirt runway, on which we took a propeller plane to Zanzibar.
Our guide Temba was amazing, his extensive experience as a guide (12 years) was invaluable and I don’t believe we would’ve seen as many rare sightings without him. He was very knowledgable and very patient with us and was able to change our itinerary day to day to suit our needs. He was very helpful at positioning the jeep so we’d be able to get the best view point and he also helped us take amazing photos through the binoculars as well. Temba was very good at playing Tetris with our suitcases in the back of the jeep, we were very impressed. I couldn’t recommend Temba as a guide more he was phenomenal.
Upon arriving in Zanzibar for the second week of our Holiday we stayed one night at the Melia Zanzibar, within 12 hours we established the hotel wasn’t for us, Idda then arranged another hotel for us within 12 hours, which was amazing. We moved to the hotel Gold Zanzibar which was miles nicer and very relaxing. We stayed at Gold Zanzibar for 6 nights, the hotel had lovely food and even moved the buffet restaurant to the beach one night and pool for another night for dinner which was impressive.
Overall we had the holiday of a lifetime and can’t couldn’t recommend Idda and Massawe adventures more, I can’t wait to go back

Organized and awesome.
We had a three-day custom tour of Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Tarangire National Park. From start to finish, our guide, Edward, was kind, generous, and very, very knowledgeable. He also had a great sense of humour. The Farm of Dreams resort was beautiful and comfortable. We couldn’t ask for a better safari experience – thank you so much to RO Scavenger – Silas and Edward went above and beyond for us. Great value for the money.

African Journey to Remember
We can’t stop raving about our trip to Tanzania, and especially about the amazing team at Migration Ventures Africa and our guide Kareem. Initially, we were a bit nervous about traveling during the rainy season, but honestly, it turned out to be an unforgettable experience!
We were in great hands with an excellent vehicle and an awesome guide, Kareem, who made sure we didn’t miss a single moment. The journey was packed with thrilling adventures, from muddy trails to jaw-dropping game viewing, and we were constantly on the edge of our seats, never knowing what exciting encounter would come next. Some of the quiet moments, though, were just as magical driving through vast, open plains with animals dotting the horizon, then getting closer to reveal herds of buffalo, elephants, and wildebeest stretching out as far as the eye could see.
And of course, the lions, cheetahs, and hyenas were never far behind, often lurking near the herds of herbivores. We also stayed at some incredible lodges, where the service was top-notch, the food was delicious, and the accommodations were extremely comfortable, making our evenings and nights just as memorable as the days.
Tanzania is truly one of the most stunning places we’ve ever visited. If you’re planning a trip, be sure to speak with Amos, the Director, as he can craft a completely personalized adventure tailored to your needs. Highly recommend it!

Incredible Gorilla Trekking and Classic African Wildlife Experience
My wife and I had an incredible 12-day tour that featured astounding wildlife, exceptional food and service, and a highly personalized itinerary. The tour was extremely customizable, as Aron helped craft the perfect trip that encompassed everything we wanted to see and do. The gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda as well as Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda were our highlights and among the greatest wildlife experiences we've ever had--extremely close encounters with continual chances for stunning photos and videos. Chimpanzee trekking, golden monkey trekking, and numerous safaris provided ample opportunity to see everything from elephants, giraffes, hippos, zebras, lions, rhinos, and much more. Martin was the best guide possible, and we'd highly recommend asking for him!

Best Safari Experience for first timers
My partner and I (visiting from New Zealand) had the most incredible experience with African Big Cats Safari. From the moment we landed in Tanzania, everything was perfectly organised—smooth, stress-free, and full of unforgettable moments.
Our guide, Lovoi, was exceptional. He’s not only an expert on wildlife but also a skilled driver who navigated the rugged terrain of Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater with ease. Thanks to his sharp eyes and deep knowledge, we saw all of the Big Five and so many more animals up close—it was truly surreal.
The accommodation was top tier: comfortable, well-located, and made us feel immersed in nature without sacrificing any comfort. The food arranged throughout the trip was also delicious and varied.
As someone who felt a little intimidated about visiting Africa for the first time, this experience completely changed my perspective. The team at African Big Cats Safari made us feel safe, welcome, and completely taken care of from start to finish. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

Great short trip through the Ngorongoro Crater. Along with the normal sightings, we got to see Rhino and lots of monkeys up close.
