Materuni Tours for Safari: 100% Recommendation
Going on safari with Materuni was the best decision. Everything from first discussions with Tory, to planning the trip, then briefing with Ambrose, and the actual climb and safari itself was so professional and comfortable. The guides were respectful and knowledgeable. Our guide for safari was extremely knowledgeable of the parks we visited and led us to see all of the animals! Truly incredible experience with Materuni's staff and would 100% recommend them to anyone else climbing Kili or going on safari. Thank you Materuni team for making it a seamless adventure for us :)

Kili Climb + Safari: Safe, Reliable, Comfortable
I recently traveled to Tanzania for a few weeks with my girlfriend and her brother. We did both the Kilimanjaro climb and safari with Materuni Tours.
To keep it short and simple: both were phenomenal experience and no doubt enhanced significantly because of the dedication of Matruni and their staff to making the experience truly unforgettable.
The climb is definitely not for the faint of heart, but you cannot imagine a more satifying personal accomplishment to achieving the summit - and the Materuni climb team, led by our two guides (Makashi and Joseph), were absolutely essential in making it happen. They were our guardian angels on the mounts. Their positive energy and dedication to our well-being were truly appreciated and will be forever remembered.
The safari was fantastic to do as a reward to ourselves after the climb. Our guide (Mkonyi) was an absolute dream to have by our side for three days. He was enthusiastic, fun-loving, positive and very knowledgeable - along with an absolute blast and all-around great guy to hang out with during our adventures.
Looking back, if we had to do it all again (and wish we could right NOW - we miss it so much already), there isn't anything we would have done differently.
Sincerest thanks to Ambrose, Tory and the entire Materuni Tours family. If you're looking for a company to go with, they come highly recommended!

Exotic Tanzanian Experience In An All Girls Group
What makes a wildlife tour worthwhile is the comfort during the travel days and the actual sighting of wildlife, on both counts Materuni tours can hold its head high.
Most tour operators on email promise the moon ,very few deliver.
Materuni tours never promised us the moon in the first place, but it delivered more than what it promised and that is what counts.
Underplaying your plus points and allowing your actions to speak for themselves is the litmus test of true confidence.
I believe Materuni tours has passed with flying colors.
I recommend them to all real lovers of wildlife, for which no country in the world can hold a candle to Tanzania
I intend to explore this beautiful country once again and yes through Materuni tours.
a special thanks to Ambrose for all the help and Mackoni the wonderful guide who could spot an ant a mile away !!

Exceeded My Expectations
The best thing that has happened to me in the last month has been my trip to Tanzania.
The Tour in Tanzania organized with the company Materuni turned out to be spectacular. Every detail of this week-long adventure was considered by the tour company and I am very glad we took their advice. I was so pleased with my experience, that I am planning a future trip to bring the entire family in 2017.
The choice of accommodation in each of the parks cannot be beat. Expectations were significantly exceeded by this adventure and special considerations of our guides complemented everything else.
Tours Materuni thank you for our wonderful experience and please know we will be returning. See you in 2017.

Experience of a lifetime
Tanzania has always been on my bucket list, therefore finding the right tour operator to book our trip with, was very dear to our hearts. We had a rough idea of what we wanted to do but were quite open to other suggestions. We sent an inquiry to several tour operators but I can honestly say no one was as professional, helpful, caring and competent as Materuni Tours. We were very inquisitive and had a lot of questions to ask. All our questions were not only well-answered but also promptly, which was really reassuring.
The itinerary of our trip was always updated according to our wishes and needs, and Ambrose always made an effort to really cater to our interests while still offering us the best experience for our budget. Even, when we experienced a slight hiccup (on our side) with our money transfer, due to my bank making a mistake, Ambrose was extremely patient with us and reserved our bookings until the money went through! We were so grateful to him, as we could only imagine how difficult it must have been to try and reserve all our bookings for us.
Upon our arrival in Moshi, Ambrose not only picked us up from the airport but he also gave us a tour of the town and showed us the hotspots. We then spent the subsequent days on an amazing safari trip with the best cook and safari guide ever! The entire Materuni Tours team is simply wonderful and so friendly; We really felt at home and had the greatest time with them. The rest of our time was spent in Zanzibar (Stonetown and Paje), once again our trip was planned to the minutest detail and we didn't have to worry about a single thing.
I would definitely recommend Materuni Tours to everyone travelling to Tanzania and hope to someday book with them again!
