an amazing experience
A flycatcher brought us to him. First we were a little bit sceptical but he was nice a looked serious. And also the tourist information told us that he has a licence. So we booked the one day trip to Tarangire National Park. We paid the fee by the time he picked us up. Our driver/guide was a pleasant man. So we had a great day. The only bad thing was that the vegetarian lunch pack wasn't vegetarian. But on the pack was vegetarian written. So we think it was the fault of the cook and not of ilmaasai company.

Great journey
We had an excellent journey with great guids, amazing cooks and diners and joyful porters.
Excellent Staff, Good Company
We went on a 6 day safari with Ilmaasai. Our driver Bryson and cook Osman were most accommodating and did everything they could to make our trip great. We saw plenty of animals and were happy with this company. It is locally owned as well, we were happy that our money went to support the local people and not a foreign company.

Masai joy
Thank's Simon and Roman for making my 3-day trip to Lake Natron to a
road of joy. One of the highlights was the meeting with all the friendly Masais.
Climbing Oldonyo Lengai with my masai guide Ringa starting in the middle of
night was the greatest. I recomend it to all with good shape.

Good experience - Kilimanjato
I had a good experience with Ilmaasai to climb Kili. Price vs benefits I think was good. Is not the most complete company but all the services was good. All crew during the climb was very friendly and helpful, and the office efficient with emails.

Very good experience!
My husband and I were on a three days safari in three different park, each one was different for plants but in all of these there was a lot of beautiful animals. Our guide was kind and respectful of animals, our chef cooked very very good dinner and breakfast for us (box lunch during safari not so good as the dinner). The lodge was basic but comfortable and the same for the jeep. We saw Big Five the second day in Ngorongoro Crater, but all three days were very exciting for us. Absolutely recommended!

really good and knowledgable
There was one lodge in Ngorogoro which was pretty mediocre but the rest of it was excellent and very accommodating especially when we wanted to stay an extra day in the crater
With Ilmaasai you make your safaritrip a very personal experience
I spent 4 months volunteering in Arusha (dec13/march14) and did several trips with the little company of the two brothers Loth and Philip. It was my aim to find a good and trustworthy company to organize trips for a lot of volunteers. At first they all went to the big companies. I didn't want that: I wanted the spent money to be supporting local people and local economy. With the Ilmaasai's I was on the right spot. A personal touch, a friendly conversation, always karibu sana when you drop by at the cosy office in the park. Just good folks, that you can rely on.
If you go for the brandnew jeep or the flashy add-on's, go to a big company; if you want the real thing, with an excellent guide and a superb cook (Godson & Saimon were our hero's!), go with Ilmaasai and go to the campsites and not the expensive ridgelodges.
And say hi to Philip and Loth from me!
