Very responsible and polite company
It was a very nice safari tour. The company is made up of very responsible and polite people. It is a company that thinks about the guests every minute of the trip and tries to adapt every detail to the guests' taste. I felt very safe and in a native environment. Khadija was especially caring. The safari was also very interesting, we saw many animals. Our visit to the Hadzabe tribe on the last day was the cherry on top.

Responsibility, individual approach and attention to details
The tour covered the most interesting and diverse locations available from Arusha. Each national park has its own unique features, but the strongest impressions on me were made by Serengeti, Ngorongoro caldera, Lake Manyara. The guides worked professionally - they talked interestingly about both wild nature and local traditions. Nutrition was organized at the expected level. The members of an interesting international group did not have any problems. I recommend Jambo Masai Tours as your guide to unforgattable word of Tanzanian wildlife and cultural deversity

Great communication, punctual and informative, relaxed vibe with music—highly recommended!
From start to finish, communication was excellent and the team shared a wealth of information about Tanzania and the region; they were always punctual and responsible, and the safari itself had a wonderfully laid-back vibe, with music in the van and lots of laughter—I had an amazing time and would absolutely recommend it.

Really kind, gentle and awesome
I joined the 3 nights and 4 days camping safari with Suricata Safaris, one of their partner companies. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience. We were able to see a wide range of animals, including the Big Five, and our guide, Reoice, was kind, knowledgeable, and professional.
The meals were good, and water was provided daily (1.5L per person), which was always enough for me. Each of the three nights was spent at a different campsite, and every time the accommodation got better than the previous one. I wasn’t expecting much from the tents, but they were very comfortable with proper mattresses and blankets.
I traveled from December 4 to 7, and on the second night near the Ngorongoro area it was extremely cold. The other two camps were warmer and very comfortable overall.
It was a meaningful and enjoyable safari experience, and I’m satisfied with the service provided👍

A well-organized safari tour that made us truly happy.
Our safari in Tanzania was absolutely incredible! We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, and every day brought new and unforgettable moments. Our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and always attentive to our needs. He made the entire journey enjoyable and educational.
The food was always pretty much the same, but it was totally fine. The tents and lodges were very comfortable, giving us a great place to relax after long days of exploring.
We also visited the Materuni Waterfalls including a traditional coffee tour. It was absolutely beautiful and a wonderful experience that perfectly complemented our safari. We even hiked to the top of the waterfalls, which was more of a challenge because it was steep and slippery, but definitly worth it.
Overall, we were very happy with the entire trip. A fantastic experience we can highly recommend to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

Amazing experience
We had an incredible experience on the day Mount Meru hike. The organization was professional from start to finish, with clear communication. Our guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we felt safe and supported. The views were absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunrise from the summit. The accommodations were comfortable, and the meals were surprisingly good for a mountain hike.

5-days private fly-in safari - unforgettable - perfectly organised by a very considerate team
Choosing the right safari company among so many options can feel like a little bit of a gamble but Jambo Masai Tours gave us three from the start on a very good feeling of confidence. Of course, we were a little sceptical at first, but our experience turned out to be excellent from start to finish. Including the payment aspect went very easy; the advance of 30% is smoothly payed through Pesapal, the remaining balance was conveniently paid locally.
Raphael was in fact fantastic, already from the first contact on he was always there for you. He reassured us about everything before the trip and always replied to our messages and questions instantly, which really gave us peace of mind. The contact is very smoothly and nothing is too much to ask for.
Every day of our safari was perfectly organized, from the very beginning with a fly-in to the Serengeti/Seronera-airstrip, which is very handy and above all a very scenic and special little trip. We did Serengeti-Ngorongoro-Tarangire and saw so much more than we ever expected. From breathtaking landscapes to close-up wildlife encounters, so many different animals, included the big five. Yes, also the rhino that we were lucky to spot two times in the Ngorongoro crater, be it from quite a distance.
Brian, our driver & guide, was a perfect match for us and he was definitely a real expert. He handled every road and every situation with ease, and his knowledge about the animals, the parks, his magnificent country and its culture was impressive. You could ask him everything. Also agreeing on what you prefer to do or to see during each day is no problem at all. We had 5 very enjoyable days with Brian.
The mid-range lodges we stayed at each night were luxurious, spotless, extremely comfortable and clean - perfect places to relax after a day full of adventure. Each one had very friendly staff, offered great food and service as well as beautiful surroundings that made the experience even more special.
We can highly recommend this team - professional, friendly and truly passionate about what they do. A huge thank-you to Raphael and Brian for this perfectly organised 5 days without any worries, and for giving us three an unforgettable journey! The warmth and sincere care we received made it also feel so good.

Amazing Experience
We had an amazing experience with Jambo Masai Tours!
Our tour operator Raphael did a fantastic job — he responded quickly and was always available for questions or feedback.
We went on an 8-day safari that included Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and the Materuni Waterfalls — and it exceeded all our expectations!
A big thank you to our guide Praise Ombeni, who took us to the best spots and made sure we saw the Big Five more than once. His knowledge and passion for wildlife made every game drive unforgettable.
Also, a huge shoutout to our chef Pasco Marco — the food was absolutely outstanding! Fresh ingredients, local flavors, and delicious meals every single day.
We can highly recommend this tour and would definitely love to come back again one day.
Thank you, Jambo Masai Tours!

We found a tour package from Jambo Masai on safari bookings.com. Contacted them on WhatsApp and they even adjusted the tour to activities we wanted to do.
Before the safari, communication with Jambo Masai was always quick and easy to understand. Giving us a list of things to prepare for the safari - we didn’t really need any more than that.
During the tour, we joined with another tour company in the same vehicle, Travel To Africa, as we had similar tour schedules. Our tour guide Miraje was amazing! You’ll be lucky to get him. He was very informative, and a super driver!
From hearing other tourists’ safari prices, I discovered ours was the best deal - especially for budget camping. I felt our 6 day safari was great value for the experience we got.
The chefs were amazing cooks too! Made delicious buffet style breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. I even requested them to make ugali and they did for the next dinner.
The camping experience was incredible! We found it more comfortable than sleeping in a hot room. Definitely choose to camp if you like the outdoors. They provide the mattress and sleeping bag - just bring a hoodie and joggers to sleep in for the colder night.
The shared tour was also very fun! More eyes to spot things too.
Overall, I would book with Jambo Masai again if I were to go on a safari! They also organise other experiences so just contact them and im sure they’ll accommodate. Thank you to everyone who made our experience incredible!

Extremely efficient with superb communication.
Upon making my initial enquiry, Raphael stood out as an exceptional operator. From the start, he was incredibly informative and patient, especially as I navigated the process of getting my visa approved. He guided me seamlessly through the booking process and ensured I had all the relevant information needed for my safari.
The safari itself was beyond words – truly the best experience of my life. Witnessing the majestic animals in their natural habitat was utterly awe-inspiring. What made it even more special was seeing how much the people and country of Tanzania respect their wildlife and environment. It added a profound sense of meaning to the experience.
I can’t recommend Raphael enough as your booking agent. His professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to creating a memorable trip are unmatched. If you’re looking for a life-changing adventure, trust Raphael to make it happen!
