A world class tour company
I cannot recommend Matangos Expeditions Tours Tanzania ltd more strongly. I am a secondary school teacher in the US. My students and I spent 12 amazing days with them and they couldn’t have gone more smoothly than they did. We visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Olduvai Gorge. We also had cultural experiences with the Maasai, Hadzabe, and Datoga tribes. They cultivated a 12 day experience that was truly once in a lifetime. Their guides were extremely friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel safe during every moment of the trip. We saw the big five and so much more. Choose Matangos. You will be glad you did

A fantastic trip
Tanzania felt very safe when we followed our guide during the tour. The weather was pleasant, though the sunshine was quite strong during the daytime. The local people were always cheerful, which was truly inspiring.
The Serengeti was vast and breathtaking, full of animals living freely in their natural environment. During the game drive, we could even feel the happiness of the animals. One evening, a group of zebras gathered outside our tent. They never tried to disturb us—they just peacefully grazed on the grass. We never imagined we could be so close to wild animals. It was a deeply healing experience, a place where humans and nature exist in harmony.
The local food was also incredibly fresh and delicious.
For the first six days, we climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with LEKEN Adventure, an excellent company. Alex always replied promptly, even at night, something truly unique about Leken. Our mountain team was also fantastic. Our experienced guide, William, knows everything about the mountain, and his team gave us amazing support throughout the climb.
Kilimanjaro itself is beautiful, full of unique plants and wildlife. Each day on the mountain was physically tiring but immensely rewarding. Nature truly has a healing power!

Really beautiful
We went to the tarangiri nationalpark and it was beautiful but for the rare animals I would definitely recommend the serengeti nationalpark and a minimum of 3 or 4 days for the whole safari to get a great experience.

I did a 4 day tour with Lulu Safaris Uganda. My guides were Sarah and Gary-Simon, who were both outstanding and great company. The tour was all that I could have asked for and more. The accommodation was beautiful and comfortable. The food was large portions, fresh and delicious. The highlight of the trip was trekking in Bwindi national park to see mountain gorillas. Only complaint is that 4 days is too short and I would recommend staying at least a week.

Amazing tour with amazing accommodation
Francis was an amazing guide, he was so accommodating and went the extra mile to make sure we had the best trip.
For a mid range tour, the accommodation was so much better than we expected. The food was also great.
Would highly recommend Safari Connect to anyone

Our safari through Kiboko Tours & Travel with our guide Sammy exceeded our expectations. We delighted in seeing so many wild African animals and the huge variety of birds we were able see and identify. Sammy was very patient with our group and understood that we were just as interested in seeing the birds as we were the large mammals. He was knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the National Parks we were in and willing to take the time to help us identify birds that he had not seen or identified before. Sammy was always respectful of others but always got us into a great position to photograph the animals even when other guides were rude with their vehicle placement.
The Sopa Lodges where we stayed were very clean, well kept and had friendly, competent staff. The buffets had plentiful good food and enough variety to satisfy our group of 6.
We started with a visit to the Sheldrick Elephant Rescue and a 1/2 day safari to Nairobi National Park the day before our official safari began. This was a distinct highlight. We had no idea there was such variety of wildlife so close to this major city. Also, it helped us understand how to prepare and what to expect on our upcoming safari.
Each National Park we journeyed to, and we went to 6 in all, gave us a look at a new species. We got to view everything from the smallest birds to thousands of wildebeest and antelope, to the great cats and the enormous African Elephants. We were truly stunned by the abundance and variety of wildlife. Samburu National Park won the hearts of our group. Not just its amazing desert remoteness and the huge variety of wildlife; but, we so enjoyed the staff and locals that were particularly welcoming and attentive.
Our itinerary was great. There wasn’t much down time with the distances we had to travel but it worked well and left enough time for successful safari drives in the parks. We had full days that started early each day but were so rewarding and we had time for a quick afternoon nap most days. Not to say there wasn’t some sleeping in the car!
Excellent job putting together such a wonderful experience for our group. Thank you Kiboko so very much. Be assured we will recommend you to our friends.

What a wonderful experience!
Our top guide Eric is professional and friendly. Eric not oly chased big fives by only a few game drives in the first few days, but also drives smoothly and safely. He always try his best to let us have a good position to have a good view and good angle to see the subjects.
The night game drive at Ol Pejeta was amazing. The balloon riding, Bush Breakfast, and Sundowner at Masai Mara were excellent and unforgettable moments.
Thank you Banok Safaris, Benson and Eric for this wonderful experience.
I would suggest Banok Safaris to my friends for sure.
