Amazing experience!
My 3 days masai mara safari was amazing. we went there exactly in the great migration season, and so blessed to see the river crossing. All things are smooth.. from the beginning of communication until the end. They tried to fullfil my requests. my driver guide is Kikitu, we feel so blessed to be his first group since pandemic. He tried his best to find the animals that we want to see, driving skill is also good. He even explained a lot about the animals we saw in details. The accommodation is comfortable.. but there was no hot water in the bathroom. Also.. drinking water seems not available for us until you keep asking. Other than these, My experience was nice generally :)

Children 4 to 10 Years 50% with sharing accommodation with Parents This is what we paid for. No booking was done for us in Serengeti or Ngorongo. When we got Karatu we had no coach waiting for us to take us to the game reserve and we could not reach Mr. Mohemmed Kambi. We were advised to file a police report in Arusha. We lost all monies paid and the company is unresponsive. The police are following up on our case. Please be advised that this company scammed us of a total of over $5000.00 USD. I would not recommend to anyone. I would verystrongly advice against using this company.

Unforgettable
I know it may seem like I am exaggerating or I was paid to write this review but I wasn’t, I am just a satisfied customer. I got married in the summer of 2019, and me and my hisband since we wanted to go back to our roots we decided to have our honeymoon back in Tanzania. Moraka helped us plan everything from the safaris to the beaches in Zanzibar, I was the happiest and we got to experience so much and enjoyed our time there. The hotels moraka chose for us had great newly wed surprises that left us smiling all the time we were there and made our honeymoon even more romantic. Moraka cheers.

Amazing Safari!
We had such a great time on safari with Travel Africa. Booking with Mohammed was super fast and easy, even though I booked only a couple days before. Communication was great, we always knew what to expect.
Our guide Lucas was so kind and knowledgeable. We were able to spot SO many animals due to his keen eyes, including two lionesses hunting and taking down gazelles. He knew the answer to every question we asked about any plant or animal. And his driving skills are top knotch.
The chef Dennis was awesome and accommodated my vegetarian diet and my husband's food allergies.
The accommodations were nice for the budget option and the price can't be beat, especially since the airport pick up and drop off are included as well as accommodations in Arusha the night before and after.
I would highly recommend!

Expect the Unexpected On Your Exciting Tour Of Murchison Falls with Mega Wild Safaris
I think the tour was very well done. The tour guides were knowledgable and gave us very interesting information as we passed by various ecosystems and animals. They even told us fascinating history of along the whole route from Kampala to Murchison Falls area. I learned so much, and they had answers to all of our (sometimes strange) questions like "Do giraffes sleep standing up?"!
The tour of the game park was AMAZING! It was so cool to see the animals in the wild... and the guides had a good eye for finding and pointing out the animals. We weren't lucky enough to see any lions or leopards, but it was our own groups fault for delaying to get out of bed on time... haha. We did a boat tour as well along the Nile, which had us an arms-length away from hippos and crocodiles... it was SO COOL! I would definitely recommend this.
The tour guides kept us safe, and also were able to improvise well using machetes and manpower when the unexpected came up (such as when trees had fallen to block our path in the game park or when the bus decided to slip around on the road). It made for a fun filled trip! The drivers were also very skilled in their job haha, navigating a large bus like it was a quad.
The company made the experience fun with our tour group, by sharing in dinners and drinks and conversations after long days in the National Park. Overall it felt like they really cared about our experience and knew how to make sure we got the best views, took cute photos, and gave us a unique experience. They also made the journey comfortable with stops along the way to use the washroom and stretch.
I would definitely recommend a tour with them!

Kondoa Rock art - Amazing!!!
I took the 2 day Kondoa rock art tour which is about 4 hours in between Arusha and Dodoma. It was one of the best tours I’ve ever had in Tanzania. Rashid and Musa went out of their way to make me feel welcomed and comfortable and they translated everything our local guide was trying to explain. It was an amazing experience and it seemed more like I was with a group of friends than with a tour company. I would recommend this tour company with my eyes closed.
