It was an extraordinary experience. It was so personal and so connected.
My uncle and I had a superior experience. We were well looked after from the moment we arrived. The safari was amazing and we were fast tracked into the safari as they were well prepared. I have visited other Safaris in both Zimbabwe and South Africa but this was an unparalleled experience. They knew were to find the animals. We saw endless giraffes, lions, hippos etc. I even got to dress as a Masaii and interview what it was really like for them living in the Ngorongoro crater. A year later I am still in communication with them.

[Highly recommended]Can't find better safaris and cultural experience than Matunda provided
The trip provided by Peace Matunda was truly amazing and definitely unforgettable in my life. Also as solo female traveler, they had always made me feel safe and welcome everywhere. During the six-day safaris, my guide had tried all he could to show me the best wildlife at the best position and had good crisis management as well as humour. While my cook had also tried his best to fulfil my special request on food. After coming back from safaris, I had joined the coffee and cultural tour with lots of laughing and learning. By walking and visiting local families, I had felt so privilege to touch and join part of their life.
All in all, no word could really express my feeling well. My heart left in Tanzania thanks to Peace Matunda.
If you have chance, please must take a visit to Matunda orphanage to hang out with children who are nice and polite. Also joining the cultural program(such as waterfall in Mt. Meru, coffee and cultural tour etc.) to have first hand experience on local life.

A great idea for tourism project
Buying a tourism product from an organisation where surplus funds fund an orphanage and school is a super idea in itself - self sustaining, and also adds interest for the kids in the orphanage/school who see a bigger picture, who see a business, who see tourists in a mountainous spot often void of tourists. Accommodation at the base was basic, with times of no power or hot water, but we survived. We did not become ill from the food prepared for us, and interactions with staff and extras was a bonus. The guide and cook were patient with us.

The most sincere, full, fun, personal and professional service
Matunda Cultural Tourism and Safaris service has made my whole one month stay in Tanzania so unique. Since the day my partner and I arrived in Tanzania, Kayaa (director of Peace Matunda) not only welcomed us and helped us plan the rest of our travel but has organised the best safari experience for us. We had selected a budget option, camping in different parks and enjoyed every single second of it all. We also got to visit so many authentic Tanzanian experiences from day walks, treks, climbs, food, coffee making, visited tribes, hunt with them, spend a day dancing, singing. No words can describe how lucky and safe we felt at all times. And the best part of it all was what a remarkable person the owner of Matunda Cultural Tourism and safari is making his company, collaborators and team one of the best safari providers in the country. What's more he has welcomed us to his house and has allowed us to spend time at the school and orphanage he is running- most of his proceedings from tours go into funding this special place. I couldn't recommend it any stronger. I real hope more people will get the opportunity to experience the beauty of Tanzania in this way.

We had a really great and unique Safari as we wanted to do it.
We went with Peacematunda on a 6-days-Safaritrip (Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro NP, Lake Eyasi with the Hadzabe) only we two of us. Everything was how we booked it before (from some poeple who went with other companies we heard that this is not normal). So we could really enjoy a maximum of our trip!!! The guide was excellent (more than 5 stars!!!) he showed us everything and knew really well how to organize such a trip!! The cook was very good too. So both made the safari to an once in a lifetime experience which we would love to do it again. Only the money transfer was a bit difficult. Further was the car not in such a good condition, but we really loved the style of it and the space in it.
Finally we can really recommend this company for a safari trip!
