Unforgettable 3-Day Safari from Arusha to Serengeti & Ngorongoro!
Our 3-day camping safari was nothing short of incredible! From the moment we were picked up in Arusha, everything was perfectly organized. The drive through the stunning landscapes set the tone, but nothing compared to the moment we entered Serengeti National Park and immediately spotted lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo and even a cheetah.
Camping in the Serengeti was an experience I’ll never forget. The tents were safe, meals were freshly prepared, and the guide and chef made us feel safe and cared for the entire time. Waking up to the sounds of wildlife right outside was surreal.
On the final day, exploring Ngorongoro Crater felt like stepping into a natural wonder of the world—thousands of animals in one breathtaking place, from zebras and wildebeest to hippos and lions. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, spotting wildlife we would have easily missed and sharing fascinating insights about their behavior and the ecosystem.
This trip was the perfect balance of adventure, comfort, and authentic safari experience. I cannot recommend it enough—absolutely a 5/5, and one of the most memorable trips of my life!

Nice and quiet place with wonderful people and beautiful landscape
It has been amazing to stay at this lodge, we have had everything we need and we have been alone! The people was so nice with us and always worried about our needs.

Amazing
I'm Kenneth
I went on an amazing Safari with Terenga Safaris, and it will always be a Safari to remember. From the time our guide Caleb picked me up from the hotel, to the end of the safari, I can't say anything but praise his knowledge and panctuality. I got to see Owen falls dam and the source of River Nile, Lake Victoria. It will always be a Safari to remember and I recommend Terenga Safaris for sole travelers

A Trip Of A Life Time
Our experience with Family Luxury Safaris was nothing short of exceptional.
From the very beginning, their prompt and professional communication made planning our safari smooth and stress-free.
A special thank you to Geoffrey and Peter, whose attention to detail, quick thinking, and solution-oriented approach ensured that every moment of our trip was perfect and nothing short of an adventure.
Geoffrey and Peter went above and beyond in organizing a truly memorable and spectacular safari for our family. Every part of the journey – from accommodations to game drives – was flawlessly coordinated. You can truly trust them to handle every detail with care and precision.
We felt well looked after every step of the way, and their ability to adapt and respond to any situation with calm efficiency made all the difference.
Family Luxury Safaris created an experience we will cherish forever, and we cannot recommend them highly enough!

The epitome of hospitality
When we arrived in Tanzania at 5 am Simon aka MJ greeted the three of us; my Daughter Jen , my wife Donna and Myself . Simon was the epitome of hospitality. He invited me to sit in the front of the Safari vehicle . From there our relationship grew with every slow mile he drove , road conditions are not a strength in Tanzania .
MJ now , became our most accessible source of insight .
We were never intimidated nor concerned about our questions directed to him . His responses were comprehensive, but not overly so . We learned an endless amount about the African wildlife and people from MJ .
Sadly the adventure required we part company as Kenya was our next stop . MJ left all of us with priceless memories . Our lives were enhanced thru our relationship .
MJ thank you very much!

A great success with Safari Soles
A family with two boys, ages 12 and 15, went to Tanzania and Zanzibar. Safari Soles helped me plan my trip, designing the itinerary based on what I'd read online. We arrived in Arusha, spent a day at the Materuni Falls, coffee plantations, and Kikuletwa hot springs, then Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, the Lake Eyasi tribes (Hadzabe and Datoga), and a day at Mto Wambo (I loved it!). In total, 9 wonderful days in a private jeep.
Our driver, Aziz, could have participated in the Paris-Dakar without a problem—it was wonderful. And our guide, Kabila, was fantastic, since I requested one in Spanish. Thanks to both of them!
After that, we went to Zanzibar, and although I booked hotels independently, I ended up booking several more activities with this agency.
Furahini, my contact at the agency for everything, was infinitely patient and kind. Thank you!
I recommend this agency 100%, really.

Good seevice
Recommend. Good value for money. Good safari day trip (was short on time). Saw many animals unfortunately not lions which was my main reason to go - I was unlucky.
Our guide Maru was great both inside the park (very knowledgeable and a great sense of humour) and he drove us safely on the Mombasa-Nairobi highway. pick-up / drop off operators to and from Diani beach were reliable although pick-up time was communicated in the last-minute by the tour operator which could be the result of me booking this trip in the last minute :). Drivers of Pick-up and drop-off were amazing - friendly, funny and curious!

Unforgettable experience
I spent months researching tour operators for our trip to Tanzania and ultimately chose Mega Wild - it was the right decision.
I was a bit skeptical and concerned because it was so affordable, but my worries were unnecessary.
Our first and last nights were spent in the most beautiful hotels with incredible service and kind staff.
The three middle nights were spent in a luxury tented camp. The camp we stayed at the first and third nights was great. It wasn’t as rustic as I thought it would be, but of course nowhere near luxurious. There were some issues with hot water - but other than that, the staff were amazing; so nice and kind, helpful and accommodating. My friend and I are pescatarian; fish wasn’t being offered at dinner but they made some especially for us. They even made some for us to take the next day in our boxed lunches. The beds were comfortable and the room and bathroom were clean.
The camp on the 2nd night wasn’t as comfortable. The floor was damp and resulted in our luggage becoming wet. They also placed us in a room with only one bed when we had specified that we needed two. No big deal, just minor inconveniences. But when you’ve spent 10 hours on very bumpy roads and are exhausted, the little things can feel much larger.
What made our trip so incredible was our guide, Martin Samweli. He was absolutely amazing. He made sure he scoured the terrain for animals that we would have missed seeing otherwise. He taught us so much about the animals and answered all of our questions.
Not only was he beyond efficient and extremely knowledgeable, he was one of the kindest men I’ve met.
I became ill one day, and he couldn’t have been more concerned, helpful, or caring.
On our final day in Tanzania we were supposed to travel to Uganda. That morning I became severely ill and needed to return home.
Martin did everything he needed to do to get us to the airport. My calls to the airline kept dropping, so he found a place where we could stop so I could get better reception. He helped in every way possible. I could see how genuinely concerned he was and sad for me that we had to cut the trip short.
He truly was incredible.
The thing that impressed me was the truthfulness in the information that was given. Many other companies stated that we would see the Great Migration as well as other animals. I had my suspicions, for how can anyone guarantee when the animals might actually cross? When I inquired with Mega Wild, I was told the truth, that we may or may not witness it. I think that’s what made my final decision to book with them.
There were other mid-level companies that offered the same trip. I was concerned that because our trip was several thousand dollars less that we might be disappointed, but it fit our budget. The only difference I noticed when we saw other travelers was the lunches they were served (hot food in chafing dishes with real plates and cutlery compared to our boxed lunches). Maybe they stayed in better camps - but we did not suffer in the least bit.
I will say you have to be diligent in asking questions before departing. We weren’t told about any vaccinations we would need or the fact that we would need visas. Thankfully we thought we might and knew to ask the questions. Our itinerary was also changed. We still visited all the areas that were originally planned, but weren’t informed by the company of the changes; Martin was the one who told us. Again, no big deal.
We had trouble obtaining our visas online (the system wasn’t working), but as soon as we informed the company, it was immediately handled for us, problem resolved. They were also very responsive and helpful when I needed to cancel the remainder of the trip.
I would definitely recommend Mega Wild to anyone who isn’t planning on taking a 1st class trip that costs tens of thousands of dollars.
It was a truly amazing trip and I couldn’t have asked for anything more!
