The best safari in Masai Mara
It was a great safari and we were very lucky. We saw almost all the animals except Rhinos and Leopard, which are very rare to see. Lots of Lions and Hippos. Would have liked to stay one more day. The staff was very nice and the driver was the best. Driver was very friendly and very knowledgeable. He was very eager to take us to places to see the best views and animals possible. The safari staff provided us everything from the moment they pick us up. They also provide us with binoculars which was really useful. There was free hotel pickup and airport drop off. We stayed at lenchada camp. The staff was also very nice. The food was really nice. All in all, we had very nice experience that worth all the time and money we spent. I highly recommend Jocky Tours to give you the best safari in Masai Mara.

Amazing Ngorongoro Crater
Experienced 2N3D budget safari with Kilipath with 2 night in a campsite. It was perfect arrangement since 1st day very early morning picked me up in Arusha Hostel. i am satisfied with the service since I contact them one month before through email and whatsapp, very accommodating and responding all my queries. Actually I-solo traveling- joined in a shared safari understand that sometimes difficult and challenging to find the same date and plan, so Ms Happy arranged me to Mountain Warrior. Benjamin - our guide and Landcruiser Driver for this 3 days safari is the man of the game, we could see Big 4 (Tembo/Elephant, Simba/Lion, Buffalo, and Chui/Leopard) missing 1 - Kiffaru/Rhino) It was amazing. The campsite was so nice place, matrass and sleeping bag provided, 3 times delicious meals and no worries about cold drinks in the jeep. Only one thing that need could be an opportunity for improvement: Join the people with same accommodation place, I felt a lil bit inconvenience when we are in a same Jeep had different campsite while the others stay in a lodge - WHERE the location is far each other, it took more time to drop us off and pick us up. but overall its wonderful experience and Ngorongoro is the highlight!!

Friendly with clear and speedy communication!
Review
My friend and I did the 7-day Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route followed by the 2-day Short & Sweet Safari.
Both experiences were better than I could have imagined! Booking was really easy and communication was fast through email as well as Whatsapp with Octavian.
We were able to pay a deposit through bank transfer to secure our reservation and the rest in person in cash but you can do credit card as well for a fee.
Octavian picked my friend and I up at the airport and took us to our accommodation which was a really cute and comfortable Lodge. Great services including laundry service and delicious food!
Our tour group met us at the lodge the day of the hike and did a ceremony for us to get us pumped up for the hike with dancing and singing. We all rode together in a van to the trailhead.
The food that was offered was catered to out dietary needs (pescatarian/no dairy) and was sooo good! Fresh fruit, veggies, juice, and even some fish!
The crew was very energetic and friendly throughout the entire experience. Our guides were Rafael and Ester. Both very encouraging the whole way through. We felt very safe with them. Rafael was able to each us about the mountain ecology and point out some unique animals to the area. We really appreciated having a female assistant guide (Ester) as well - being two female hikers. The porters went the extra mile (pun intended) to backtrack and take our packs from us on the final stretches to each camp.
The crew was able to accommodate our hiking abilities and needs by altering the route slightly towards the end of the trip. We shortened the trip by a day to be able to summit a little later in the morning because my friend doesn't do well with cold weather. Our guides were very careful with us as we reached the summit, making sure we were safe and encouraging us along the way.
The 2 day Safari was also incredible! I almost wish we could have stayed longer but we were pretty tired after the hike. If you have time, consider an extra day or two of rest at the lodge in between! Octavian also took us out to buy souvenirs during our day off in between the hike and safari!
Our guide Joe for the safari was so nice and he pointed out allll of the birds for my friend and I. He also was extra careful when driving to avoid getting extra dust in the car because we were struggling with allergies on the trip! We had the same amazing chef for the hike and the safari (Matthew).
I would definitely recommend Incredible Africa Adventures for your trip!
The list of what to bring on the website is very accurate and I had everything I needed. If you have any questions just ask the company ahead of time! They will look at all your gear when you arrive to make sure you have what you need but it may be good to check in ahead of time!

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

Magnificent country, with great wildlife!
Tanzania is a country with many different faces. From the beaches of zanzibar to the beautiful wildlife in the national parks!
All are worth visiting!

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.
