Reviews
A Wonderful Safari Experience
Overall it was a pleasant experience working with Msangai Adventure Safaris.
They were prompt to respond to questions over email. Most of the email correspondence came from the owner Zeeshan. The rate for the 5 days 4 night safari I had was $2390. It included a lodge the night before and after my Safari, which was nice. You pay 15% of the fee upfront with a bank transfer or over Paypal if you want to use a credit card. If you use a credit card there is a 5% fee to cover what Paypal charges, but I found it the easiest option because I booked last minute and didn't have time to go through my bank.
When I landed in Arusha, Eric the Director of Operations that lives in Arusha, greeted me at the airport and took me to the Zawadi House Lodge where I stayed the night before and after my safari. The lodge was nice and had decent internet and charging in the rooms.
The morning my safari started I met my guides Frank and James. Frank is an industry pro that has been leading safaris for a while. James was training under him, but both knew their animals well. Over the 5 days we spent a day in Lake Manyara, two days in Serengeti, a day in Ngorongoro Crater, and a day in Tarangire all National Parks.
During the safari I stayed at the Marera Valley Lodge for two nights. It is a very nice lodge. The dinner they give is a four course feast so make sure to not snack too much during the day. It was nice getting to swim in their pool after a long day of being in the car. While in Serengeti National Park we stayed at the Central Serengeti Tanzania Bush camp. My "tent" was a large canvas structure that was a tent in name only. It had two queen sized beds as well as a shower and bathroom in the tent. Charging for phones and wifi was available at their lounge/bar area, but not in the tent. Overall wasn't a problem as there is plenty of time to charge during dinner or leaving your phone there overnight.
Overall I saw much more than I could have dreamed off! I got to see part of The Great Migration, all of the big 5, a few over 50 lions (some of them even up close!), and so much more. Some highlights for me were getting to see a lion hunting, a group of cheetahs play on the road just a few feet away from us, a herd of elephants cautiously cross by a patch of tall grass where lions were hiding, and a large hippo trotting around like it was light as a feather. There were too many to count, but it was a very memorable experience. Frank was an expert at knowing where to go and how to position the car for the best viewing of all the animals. James and Frank dropped knowledge throughout the whole trip and were very easy to get along with.
I would highly recommend using Msangai Adventure Safaris!
