Trekking to the summit in 6 Days
We reached the summit of Kilimanjaro using the Machame Route with Tanzania Wildlife Adventures in 6 days, which was 2 days quicker than we had initially planned. Our success is thanks to the incredible crew who accompanied us, the favorable weather throughout the trek, all coming together for our achievement. Our guides, Brian and Moses, were outstanding, knowledgeable, and friendly. The chef also did a fantastic job of keeping us well-fed the entire time. The route offered beautiful scenery, and we enjoyed great views throughout the journey. When we returned to Moshi with 2 days to spare which were aptly used for a safari trip to Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater. I am really impressed that Patrick was quick to organize the last-minute trip, getting us a vehicle, guide and great accommodations.
I sincerely appreciate the support from Tanzania Wildlife Adventures and will share their contact information with my family and friends.

An unforgettable experience
We had the most amazing trip with Msangai - we did the 5 night 6 day migration tour into the northern Serengeti.
Msangai were very helpful and accommodating from the start of the booking process all the way through. Our guide Emmanuel was very knowledgeable and kind, and went out of his way to make sure we got the most out of our trip, working really hard all week to find animals in the bush!
Eric was also an amazing resource in the office, and helped us plan our accommodation, onward travel and airport transfers on either side of the trip, making our experience stress free and relaxing.
The accommodation and food were all beyond our expectations. All staff across the week were very kind and hospitable. Staying in the tented camps was a particular highlight of the trip, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the wildlife of the Serengeti whilst still enjoying some luxury home comforts.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, definitely book with Msangai! Thank you to Emmanuel, Eric and Zee for all your help in organising a once in a lifetime trip!! :)

Great Private 5 Day Safari! But read notes below :)
Had a 5 day safari with Jocky Tours, private tour with 3 nights Masai Mara and 1 night in Lake Nakuru.
Picked up by our guide and driver James.
Headed to Masai stopping at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint along the way. The trip took 6 to 7 hours, the jeep was quite old with seatbelts not working very well, seats not super comfortable for a trip that long. Arriving at Lenchada Camp we were greeted by the owners and brought for lunch. The food for the 3 days was good, rice, beans, veg. Happy to have Vegetarian option everyday.
We headed on an evening game drive & then had 2 full days of game drives. Then we left for Buraha at Lake Nakuru. We arrived at 3pm and had the evening free. I had thought we had a game drive that evening (my mistake upon re-reading the schedule info from Jocky Tours), but again we felt that this should have been communicated by our guide, a simple "today we are driving here, we will stop here and here, let me know if you need additional breaks, upon arriving you will have the evening free to rest for the game drive the next morning".
After our morning game drive at Lake Nakuru we headed back towards Nairobi stopping along the way for lunch at one of the Curio shops.
Safely back to Nairobi around 3pm.
Positives:
- Saw the big 5 + a plethora of animals, birds, lizards, was truly fantastic.
- James was a safe driver, was great for spotting animals and he was a chill guide for people who want a calm atmosphere.
- Lenchada camp had everything we needed, hot water, plenty of time to charge phones / cameras, amazing wifi, mosquito net (definitely needed).
- Buraha Zeoni resort at Lake Nakuru was great to stay.
- In all places staff were very friendly, helpful + accommodating.
Room for improvement:
- The jeep was old & unclean even when we were first picked up, seats extremely dusty since day 1, seatbelts not tightening properly, seats like rocks, very uncomfortable for a 7 hour drive.
- When we were picked up we headed to the Jocky Tours offices in the city centre, this was not communicated when booking and it felt a bit odd leaving the jeep open with many people around, with all our luggage inside as we headed to the offices, this needs to be communicated to your customers as I was not expecting this and created some apprehension.
- Really felt that information was limited from the guide in terms of schedules, plans for the day, info on animals was very basic. Would have been nice to hear more about the animals, their migration patterns, why certain animals graze together, who is nocturnal v not.
- Would also have been nice if we had been told about the Masai people, their culture, why they wear red etc found ourselves googling a lot as we were not being told by our guide.
- Buffet food at Lenchada camp is not kept covered and is left open for hours in the morning and at dinner. Many flies and insects landing on food.
- Despite communicating that we were vegetarian, our packed lunches on 1 of the 2 days were meat and we couldn't have our lunch that day, which was not great considering it's a 12 hour day out.
- On the second day of our full game drive, we returned to camp earlier than the previous day (2 hours earlier) this was not communicated to us, we just began the journey back to camp and it was disappointing as we had planned to take some pictures of the sunset on our last day in the Maasai.

Perfect 4 day Safari!
The organization ran smoothly from the very beginning, everyone was extremely accommodating, and any questions we had were answered right away.
We had been searching for such a safari for a long time, and booking this one was truly the best decision we could have made. It was exactly how you imagine a perfect safari to be.
Our safari guide was very experienced, and we were able to see even more animals than we could have ever wished for. The accommodations were beautiful, and camping in particular was a truly unique experience. Even though that was our main priority, we were also very positively surprised by the food. We had a private chef, and we had never eaten as deliciously in Tanzania as we did during the safari.
It was a wonderful time that we will never forget, and we can definitely recommend this safari to anyone!

Great 4 day safari!
We had an amazing 4-day safari through Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti! The whole experience was incredibly well organized, and the team made us feel very welcome and well taken care of.
Our guide, Machete, was absolutely fantastic – he always found the best spots for wildlife viewing and was very attentive to our wishes and preferences throughout the trip. Thanks to him, we were able to see so much and truly enjoy the beauty of the parks.
The food was also delicious every single day.
All in all it was a great experience and
I would definitely recommend this safari to others.

Collin was a fun, attentive safari guide, always caring for everyone’s needs.
Our experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris was excellent in terms of value for money. We chose the Mid-Range Luxury accommodation and it was completely worth it. We saw plenty of wildlife and almost completed the Big Five — just missed the leopard by a bit of bad luck. The service and dedication of our guide were outstanding, and this is definitely an experience I would repeat.

Amazing
We went on a safari in Tanzania this August, and it honestly exceeded all my expectations. The landscapes were stunning, the wildlife incredible we saw everything from lions and elephants to even a leopard!
But what really made the trip special was our guide, John. He was knowledgeable, patient, and had an amazing eye for spotting animals. You could tell he truly loves what he does. He also shared so much about the culture and environment, which made the whole experience deeper and more meaningful.
I always felt safe, well taken care of, and completely in awe of everything around us. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Asante John!
