Fantastic Experience
We did a 6 day safari across Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro and Lake Manyara in August 2023. Everything was organised incredibly well.
Our guide Saidi was excellent at teaching us about these beautiful places and creatures. We were lucky to see both leopards and cheetahs up close additionally to scores of elephants and lions. The mix of lodge and camp was a great balance and good value for money. A key highlight was also the hard work of the chef Victor that cooked us superb meals throughout the trip.

Exceptional
I cannot speak more highly about this Expedition. I went to a tour spanning 3 locations Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar over 9 days.
I honestly had everything covered. Paul is an excellent manager who was available 24/7 from a year prior to the safari (when we first booked it) until the last day as we flew back.
The team was OUTSTANDING we felt safe, and taken care of at all times and all accomodations were unbelievably well priced
Thank you so Much
I would recommend our game drivers who were exceptional

Don't look further than Mazingira for your Safari in Tanzania
“My wife and I have recently returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania to witness the “great migration”. We were in Mombasa for a wedding and dreamt of witnessing the great migration, visiting the Ngorongoro crater and seeing all the Serengeti had to offer. Online navigation of the various tour companies is a minefield but we liked the look and sound of Mazingira Eco Safaris; and boy what a great choice this turned out be. We had a complex “wish” list, difficult logistics given we were in Mombasa for a wedding and a need for some adventure. Jacob at Mazingira responded immediately to my email, we were on a long whattsapp telephone call shortly after and had a full itinerary agreed in jig time. Jacob and his company were amazing from start to finish, they arranged our collection from Mombasa (by road to Arusha…an adventure in itself!), all the accommodation/lodges/hotels, all meals and every bit of flexibility we wanted. Truly great service and everything went like clockwork…not a hitch, never a delay. I can’t say I wasn’t concerned with sending such large sums of money as deposits and final payments prior to arriving in country but these concerns were completely unfounded. And a last note of appreciation goes to the Mazingira guide that Jacob assigned to our trip…Lucas. You spend an awful lot of time with your guide while on safari. Lucas was deeply knowledgeable of the wildlife, it was incredible how much he shared with us, not just the names of more obscure species but behaviours, habits and histories of nearly everything found on the Serengeti….but much more than this, Lucas helped us understand Tanzania, the people and the cultures, he was incredibly fun to be around and we had some great conversations on all variety of subjects. Lucas was amazing! So, if you are looking for a tour company in Tanzania, Jacob and Mazingira should be your first choice….

Knowledgeable guide found the big 5!
I had a great 2-night, 3-day Maasai Mara safari experience through SafariBookings.com. Thanks to our exceptional guide Raymond, a true professional with 15 years of game drive experience, we had the privilege of spotting the Big Five. Raymond's knowledge enriched our journey as we witnessed the mesmerizing wildebeest and zebra migration, observed a cheetah on the hunt, and marveled at the elusive rhino and leopard.
The Maasai Mara itself is a stunning park, and even though there were numerous other safari companies present, competing to get to the sighting first. Raymond's expertise ensured we reached the sights before others, adding an extra layer of excitement for us.
The camping site provided much-needed comfort after a day of exploration, offering amenities like hot water, comfortable beds, and charging facilities.
While the food was substandard, it was understandable considering the reasonable price of the trip. My partner is a fussy eater and struggled more than me. Day 1 we had lunch in buffet style on the road, with dinner in the camp, day 2 was breakfast and dinner in the camp with a packed picnic lunch while out on Safari. Day 3 was breakfast in the camp and lunch on the road. We opted out of lunch on day 3 with our whole group wanting to get back to Nairobi ASAP!
Our schedule included a thrilling drive from 4:30 PM to 7 PM on the first day, followed by a full day (7 AM to 6 PM) on the second. Unfortunately, the third day's visit to the Maasai village didn't match the excitement of the rest of the trip. While enjoyable, the very touristy village visit came with high-pressure sales tactics for overpriced items, slightly dampening the experience.
Raymond later dropped us directly at our hotel.
For fellow travelers, bringing cash is recommended, especially for buying beverages at the bar and offering tips to campsite staff and guides. If the group intends to visit the Maasai village, be prepared for additional charges.
Raymond went above and beyond, assisting us with ATM trips and money exchange when we fell short.
Overall, the SafariBookings.com Maasai Mara adventure with Raymond was fantastic, despite a few minor downsides.
Excellent
We were new to Tanga and didn't know where and how to go about enjoying the best of Tanga. Thanks to Next Stop Tanzania and Mo for sorting all this and ensuring we had the best the town and its environs had to offer.
Thanks Mazige for the excellent service

Scammer. Asks for deposit and makes promises that are not kept
Seems very professional in the beginning but did not keep the promises made and changed the schedule to his liking and convenirnce to make more money for himself.
I planned 8 safari day tour and managed to actually do only 3 days. The rest had to be cancelled or changed because of external factors.
Despite having agreed on a refund and getting a confirmation from the official email, they never refunded the money.
I dont recommend going to them for this.

Amazing Safari experience!
I can’t say enough positive things about our experience with African Chitah and the safari they planned for us. Midian was so responsive throughout the entire booking process and answered every question as soon as I sent one. When we arrived, everything was taken care of seamlessly and the hotel that was booked for our stay was fantastic. Our safari driver, Jackson, was amazing. Fun, funny and had an amazing knack for finding animals. We saw everything! I highly highly recommend African Chitah and I would definitely rebook with them in the future.

Excellent safari operator
Everything was excellent during our 5 day safari through Masai Mara and Amboseli.
Serious and helpful agency, they even helped us buying train tickets to Mombasa (since we needed a Kenyan account and we were struggling to create it).
100% recommended.
