Excellent
Four day family trip to Arusha, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Olduvai Gorge. We had an absolutely wonderful time, our guide Noel was superb. Overall a 10/10 experience and worth every penny. Communication was outstanding, we followed our itinerary like clockwork. We have been on several safari trips and this was one of the best.

Holiday of a life time
My wife and I went on our honeymoon to Tanzania and Zanzibar in February and booked the entire trip through lion king. All the staff were excellent in the lead up to the trip, both setting the itinerary and answering any questions we may have had in the lead up to the trip.
When we arrived in Tanzania we met Ossie our guide and his car the cape Buffalo. Ossie was THE BEST! He knew loads about all the animals and the areas we were in, he answered a million dumb questions from me, while being super patient. We saw the big 5 and loads more, his eyes were incredible we wouldn’t have spotted half the animals we saw with him. And he was an incredible driver, the roads are bumpy or as he would say you get a free African massage. We saw lots of people broke down but not Ossie once, and there was a day where we had a a surprise storm when out in the Serengeti. It was like driving in a movie, but importantly Ossie was at the front of the pack leading other tours out and back to safety.
You should book a safari with lion king and ask for Ossie!! Best holiday ever!!

Wonderful experience
Very courteous, trustworthy and kind operators. Good and easy communication. The price for value was excellent. We had a very good trip with delicious meals (which were costumized to our specific needs/taste). Our guide was experienced and we saw a lot of wildlife and just stunning landscapes, especially in Serengeti. 100% Recommended!

One of my fav trips
I decided to choose Massawe Adventures because all of my questions were answered by Idda with patience. She replied my emails really quick and worked during weekends to check accommodation availability. She was nicer and more understanding than other agencies' managers. She took care of us in every aspects to make sure we have a safe and happy trip. Our trip was amazing and I would say it was one of my fav. Our guide Julius is a decent and caring man. We had a lot of happy conversations with him and he always met our needs. We saw incredible hunting scenes and cute animals just in front of us. He also followed rules to give the animal a peace and undisturbed environment because he loved them from the deep of his heart. (we saw some irresponsible guide went too close to animals when animals were hunting) It was lovely to meet him and he made our Safari memory unforgettable. Thank you Massawe Adventures and I hope more people can know this amazing agency!

Wonderful trip in a beautiful country!
Our safari was tacked on last minute to the end of a business trip and boy are we glad we did! Jolie was great to work with and easy to communicate with as we aligned on the itinerary/dates/lodging etc. Once everything was booked and we were ready to go, we were assigned our guide/driver, Joseph, who by the end of our trip, felt like we hit the jackpot. Besides kind and knowledgeable, Joseph was well versed in finding all kinds of wildlife and was determined to make sure we saw everything we possibly could. He spotted the rare leopard lounging in a tree that I was only able to see with binoculars and most people would have missed. He made sure we had the best seats on our boat ride (actually saved them for us and turned other guests away when they tried to sit there!) and even took us for a bonus drive since we didn't have the best view of the lions on our morning game drive. He used all his resources and network of colleagues to ensure we had the best experience and our bonus drive even included a front row seat with 2 lionesses and their cubs! We couldn't have enjoyed our time/conversations any more and we were genuinely sad when he dropped us off safely and on time to the airport for our trek home. I couldn't recommend this company and Joseph any more and will be forever grateful for such an amazing first experience into our Africa explorations. Do not hesitate to explore Uganda with Achieve Global Safaris!

Professional game drive
We booked our game drive 3 months before with Mr. BENSON owner of Tall Masai safari for 5 nights 6 days covering Masai Mara, Nakuru and Ambosoli. It was a photographic trip with my brother in a 4X4 land cruiser.
Day 1.
When reaching Nairobi international airport. ( Very early in the morning like 5:30 am) I got a whatsapp MSG from our Guide/Driver Mr. Eric ( The Jungle master ) that he is waiting outside. We cleared our immigration and immediately got into the Land cruiser privately for us.
Mr. Eric was so friendly and didn't say a no for anything. We wanted to take some cash and he helped us going to banks. After finishing the bank works we headed to Masai. On the way we stopped in great rift valley. And then proceeded again. Stopped for breakfast and then with another couple of stops we reached our camp. - AA Lodge Masai.
The camp was fantastic no complaints at all. By 3:00 pm our Jungle Master took us inside the park and we had a great time spotting so many birds and animals. We returned back at 7:00 at the property had dinner and slept early since we have opted for full day safari the next day.
The next day we started by 6:30. We had breakfast by 6 and took our packed lunch. We covered a lot of area. We went to Masai river. We returned back by 5:00 pm
The next day we checked out early and reached lake Nakuru City max hotel by 1:00 pm and on the way in narok city we met Mr. Benson and he was very courteously asking about experience and was ready to improve if anything was wrong. Then we headed to lake Nakuru park by 2:30. We did our game drive till 6:30 and returned back to the hotel.
In these three days itself we able to see The Big 5. All thanks to the Jungle Master Mr. Eric.
Next day morning we started early and left to Ambosoli. We reached Nyati safari camp which just had Mt. Kilimanjaro as the backdrop. We went for the evening game drive followed by a full day game drive the next day. Ambosoli is the land of elephants. Too many elephants.
Next day we had our breakfast and headed to Nairobi Airport.
The whole trip was very memorable and would definitely recommend Tall Masai safari and specially ask for Eric as ur tour guide/driver.

Great safari from start to finish
The operator was very reliable and punctual, everything went smooth and as discussed. It was really nice to just lay back and enjoy this well planned trip. As requested we were served vegan food, and I was surprised how delicious is was. The chef that travelled with us cooked fresh food for us every day. The safari itself in the Serengeti was better than expected because the guide always was ready to go an extra mile to find the lions, cheetahs etc. For us to see. We did 3 days ngorongoro+Serengeti and were quite tired afterwords, but satisfied, we saw everything we wanted in the shortest period. Next time I think I would do maybe one more day in the Serengeti to have more time there.

Very reliable and service minded, true to his every word.
My sister and I went on a safari February 2024 with Serengeti Smile. They are a very reliable organisation. We had a great safari, our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable about all the animals and fauna and of everything we asked about Tanzania. We got to see and take photos of all animals we wanted to, both big and small. Everything was arranged perfectly, all the communications worked as clockwork. I am so grateful to Albert who was our contact person, he is very professional and devoted to service. I can highly recommend Serengeti Smile to anyone who wants to have an amazing safari. My biggest Thank You to them.
