A day at Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area
Booking our trip with Mega Adventures was easy, after having already climbed Kilimanjaro with them, we were confident they would give us a good deal for a trip to Ngorongoro and we were not disappointed.
Booking was completed face-to-face at our hostel, but we had discussed several options with Mohamed previously via telephone and electronic messaging.
We were picked up on time from our hostel, and after a quick stop to collect our lunches from a local caterer we started the long drive West to Ngorongoro. Our driver, and guide Ali kept us informed about our progress as well as telling us what we might hope to see when we arrived.
Upon arrival to the conservation area, entry formalities were completed quickly, and our descent into the park was swift in order to maximise the time spent on the crater floor. The crater was so vast, beyond anything I could have predicted. It was genuinely amazing to see the tiny dots we had viewed from above transformed into zebras, wildebeest, hyenas, warthogs and many more.
Ali took the time to explain each animal to us: numbers in the park, species, habits etc, and drove slowly and responsibly through the area, maximising our viewing potential of the rarer beasts. After some radio chatter he took us to a spot where we could see the critically endangered black rhino. After lunch (a very tasty lunch I might add) by the hippo pool, we searched for lions, which Ali found pretty quickly, a pride sleeping through the afternoon heat. We managed a good 4 hours inside the crater before heading out (seeing elephants as we passed) and returning to Moshi. Although the journey was long and traffic was dense, it didn't detract from the epic day we had at Ngorongoro with Mega Adventures.

Great, enjoyable, lovely safari
We had a very enjoyable, lovely and great three-day-camping safari with Mega Adventures to Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. Excellent food prepared by own cook. All camping equipment provided by the company. Only thing that we wouldn't recommend in general is the cratercrim-walk of Ngorongoro, with a Masaai ranger as guide. Halfway he started asking for a gift or money, which made us quite uncomfortable. But other than that we had the time of our lives with Mega Adventures!

Fantastic trustworthy service, highly recommended.
Very well organised from a very competent team ensured a smooth and very enjoyable day on Safari. The guide was extremely friendly and knowledgable. He made it a great day and the Safari itself was a day to remember. I would recommend Mega Adventures to anyone who wants to explore and see what Africa has to offer. Would love to travel back and would certainly use Mega Adventures again. Big thanks to Mo for making this possible.

First Class Service
My friends and I have just finished summiting Uhuru peak with Mega Adventures and I honestly couldn't rate this experience higher. Mega Adventures were amazing. Clearly very experienced in organising these trips and the whole team were exceptional. We did the 6 day Machame route in June 2016 and Mega Adventures provided us with the best guides and team to help us reach the summit. Everyone had a positive attitude to keep you going, knew the mountain like the back of their hands, and kept you well informed throughout the way. Plus the meals were amazing and we never went hungry.
As our experience with Mega Adventures on Kilimanjaro was so enjoyable, we decided to organised a safari, to the Ngorongoro Crater with them and again the experience was exceptional, our driver/guide, Ali, covered most of the crater and showed us all the animals’ up-close. Making the whole experience a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Overall it was an incredible experience with Mega Adventures and would highly recommend them for any future adventures in Tanzania.

Best service in all of Tanzania, and that means something!
We met Mega Adventures' owner through the 'Kilimanjaro Grand Hostel', which is a great place to stay in Moshi by the way! Back to Mohammed Atik a.k.a. Dodoo. We stayed in Moshi for 3 weeks and during that period Dodoo helped us to see Tanzania's most beautiful hotspots. We booked a three-day safari trip, six-day Machame-route Kilimanjaro climb and one-day self-drive with Mega Adventures. All were amazing experiences, Dodoo took all time needed to make us feel comfortable and showed his patience even after trying more than 10 pair of shoes and still haven't find to right one.
Everything was arranged perfectly and the service Mega Adventures provides is astonishing. Also we spoke to more of the safari guides and they seemed to be just the guys to get you to spot everything you want!
I really recommend Mega Adventures to everyone willing to see the best of Tanzania!

Awesome experience
Very friendly and competent guide & cook. Good food, guide knows what he's talking about. You'll have to be robust enough if you book the tent-version of the safari, but with a reasonable extra charge you could also book the more luxurious version.

Climbing Kilimanjaro and visiting Ngorongoro - just awesome!
Overall the communication must be described as quick and easy. Before, during and after the tours you experience a professional but easy going team that takes care of you no matter what is needed. Furthermore the quality of the provided gears as well as the food(!!!), especially on the trek, is extraordinary. These guys are completely recommendable!

Unforgettable and unique experience
hen we booked the safari we could have never thought it would have been such well organized: Mega Adventures planned for us unique experiences (sunrises in the middle of nowhere, two walking safaris, wonderful campsites, etc) and we didn't see any other tourists doing them...that made us feel really special and that is why we strongly advise you to choose Mega for your safari.
Our guide Ally was absolutely fabulous as guide and driver: he knows everything about paths, nature, animals and everything we wanted to know...and he tried (and managed) to create for us a magic athmosphere wherever we were, looking for secret places where most of tourists don't go.
Campsites were very nice, with amazing landscapes and meals were so good thanks to our chef Massawe.
Choosing Mega Adventures was the best choice we could ever have done!!!
