Excellent!!!
We had the most incredible experience with Msangai Safaris. They were trustworthy throughout! Our guide Emanuel was excellent and so nice, he went above and beyond for us and he was so knowledgeable! All the accommodation and food we had was excellent. We would highly recommend this company and Emanuel as your guide!

A unique experience
The safari with Meijo exceeded our expectations. We spent 4 days on Safari and saw many animals up close. Our guide Mr. Michael was very courteous, experienced and always in a good mood. We would definitely recommend the tour through the 4 national parks Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Manyara. Hakuna Matata.

Glorified accomodation booking service
The booking process with Spirit of Kenya started positive. However when trying to get more detailed information on the accomodation booked, itinerary specific etc things started to get less impressive. I never managed to get booking details from our Tanzania accomodation from the operator. So we tried to get this info from the accomodation. However without the booking confirmation code ( which Spirit never provided) they could not helps us either. So it became a guessing game in what kind of room, which what inclusions we would stay. Worst part was that Spirit seriously understated all travel times. As I read in a few other recent reviews. This seems to be serial. A quoted 1.5 hrs drive would be 3 hours. And a 6 hour drive became a 11.5 hrs on the road!!!! On top of this they forgot to book Serengeti entry tickets. Causing a 90 minute wait at the gate while our guide was trying to sort this out.
In regards advise on what parts of the parks were good or not to stay in we received absolutely no recommendations leading to very long drives from accomodation to known hot spots for animals.

Best experience ever
I totally recommend doing a Safari with Suricata Safaris. They picked me up at the airport on time and drove me to the hotel in Arusha where a representative of the tours Twaha explained everything in detail, he even helped me driving me to the closest atm. The highlight of the safari was our guide Macha, he is just the best safari guide! He was very funny and proactive. He did his very best to drive us to see the big 5. I had two different guides and I learned the most important thing in a safari is the guide because he’s the one who can take you and spot the animals. So don’t hesitate to book your safari with Suricata!

A well staffed and professional local safari company
We really enjoyed our 7-day safari experience with Polecat Safaris. From the first contact with James he was really professional and took all of our requests and questions seriously, accommodating all our needs flexibly and well. The team that handled out trip, which included our guide Manfred and cook DVD, were super good guys and we really enjoyed both their company, and their good work and local knowledge! It was also clear that the company has built up good relations with other local providers along the way, including in Mto wa Mbu (where the cycling tour with Goodluck was awesome), the Jungle Pearl Resort (fantastic), and the Materuni coffee and waterfalls tour. The vehicle was good, though some of the tour was not always that comfortable because the infrastructure in the Serengeti is not that great (roads, campsite quality) but that is not the responsibility of Polecat. Overall would highly recommend this company and thanks to James and especially Manfred for a memorable experience!

Perfect Safari experience with private transfers
Norman and his team provided a great experience. Our luggage were lost and he helped to accommodate and reschedule for the delay in a very responsive and professional way. We had a private transfer both ways to Kruger and the driver was fun, knowledgeable and expert so it was very enjoyable. Everything was well organized and taken care of so we could only enjoy our vacation. We also managed to see all the big 5. Highly recommended, it was a great experience!!

Super responsive and willing to go the extra mile
Being a family run business, with siblings on the ground in both Tanzania and the UK working together, Massawe offer a truly seamless service. They were available almost 24/7 on WhatsApp to help with any issues from the stage of planning the itinerary to needing to make changes while we were on holiday. Our guide and driver, Temba, was exceptional. He was a very good driver, which made us feel safe during the long drives, which were sometimes on very bumpy and muddy roads. He always had a smile on his face, whether it was at 6am or at the end of a long 12h day. He also had the amazing ability of being able to spot a lion in the long grass hundreds of metres away, all while driving! We also loved his stories of previous safari experiences he had had.

A magical experience in Tanzania
I recently had the pleasure of exploring the wonders of Tanzania on a 4-day safari organized by Ihana Safaris, and I can confidently say that it was an unforgettable experience that was worth every penny.
From the beginning of our adventure, communication with Mike, our guide, was absolutely excellent. He was not just a guide, but a true ambassador of the beauties of Tanzania. With a friendly approach and vast knowledge of the local wildlife and culture, Mike made each day on our safari not only educational but also extremely enjoyable.
Ihana Safaris has proven to be an extremely reliable company, offering top-notch services from accommodation to well-planned itineraries in the most scenic locations. We had the opportunity to see a variety of wildlife in their natural habitat and Mike provided us with valuable information and answers to all our questions.
The safari experience was simply magical. Every moment spent on this trip was a perfect combination of adventure, education and relaxation. I truly felt the essence of Africa and left with memories that I will cherish for a lifetime.
I highly recommend Ihana Safaris and especially Mike as a guide. This safari was an unforgettable adventure and I will definitely choose Ihana Safaris again for my future trips to Tanzania.
