Very professional, attentive to our needs, and friendly
We had a great experience with Mafie Adventures. We booked the whole trip over WhatsApp (by choice) and it was a seamless experience. The staff listened to our needs, helped us meet our budget, chose great accommodations, and had good vehicles and guides once we were there. The staff met us in person at our hotel when we first arrived in Arusha and made sure our tour experience was perfect. Once on safari, we had an amazing experience, saw all the animals we hoped to see, and got the trip of a lifetime.

Friendly demeanour and top quality service.
Choosing Mafie Adventures as our tour operator was the best decision made on this trip. From the very beginning the tour guides Olivea and Mustafiri were very clear and personable. A crew of 17 including guides, chefs and porters came with us up the mountain, carrying our heavy bags, outlining the daily route and cooking good quality, satiating food for us. Most importantly, the two head guides and two porters helped us on summit day - the most difficult part of the climb - by supporting us, carrying our bags, and providing motivation. An amazing tour operator delivering amazing service at an amazing price level.

Amazing value for money with a highly dedicated team
Mafie Afventures service was superb throughout the trip from the porters to the guides everyone was extremely nice and helpful. Brayson the chef prepared 3 fresh meals a day including different soups everyday. Msafiri and Oliver, our guides, were super knowledgeable and helped us with our altitude sickness and knew exactly what to do when I felt bad. Overall I was blown away by the quality of the tour and the value for money was exceptional.

Great tour in Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Great safari and great value for money! I would definitely recommend Mafie Adventures for your safari. Thanks Oliver for the organization, she was always available on WhatsApp, and thanks Ayubu for being our guide, a real expert, he had all Serengeti on his fingertips! The accommodations were also great and the people were very nice. The total cost was lower than many other tour operators although we had nothing to envy.

Excellent Tour Operator!
We did a 4 night private tour to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our guide Ayubu was kind and always available. The organization was by Oliver who we met on the last day, she was also very kind and friendly. Perfect accommodations, perfect car, perfect guide, everything perfect! Recommended for a safari in Tanzania! thanks for everything!

Safari perfectly organized and at a fair price
Our driver was a capable and reliable guide, as well as being an excellent travel companion. There were 4 of us tourists and he always proved to be attentive to everyone's needs and we could democratically discuss how to organize the day. Mafie proved to be very reliable in managing the times and services offered and ready to help us in case of requests for changes, we always felt in good hands.
In addition to the safari, really appreciated the bike tour in Mto Wa Mbu.

Great communication to clients
I’ve been scouting for a good Safari company in Tanzania since this is a trip of a lifetime for my family. I chose Mafie Adventures among the rest because of their great communication from start to finish. Ellie was our kind and nice safari guide. He has extensive knowledge about our safari, great driver, good communication, has patience and perseverance. The lodges that Mafie gave us were all Beautiful, with great food. We rested well after a long day Game drive.
Mafie Adventures stands out as the best safari game drive companies due to their exceptional knowledge, outstanding customer and personalized safari experiences. Choosing them guarantees an unforgettable adventure in the heart of the wilderness.

Best Animal Spotter
During the 5 days of our safari we managed to see a lot of animals, the guide was very helpful and informative.
The car was comfortable and the issues have been solved asap.
The lodges were great and the meals very varied.
I definitely recommend MAFIE.

Excellent Kilimanjaro climb
Myself and my partner climbed Kilimanjaro with Mafie adventures via the Lemosho route.
We took 8 days but felt in hindsight it could have been completed in 7. However, neither of us had much effect of altitude so perhaps the longer route was beneficial. We enjoyed the route as it was varied and, with the exception of summit day, pleasantly manageable.
The team was 12 in total: 9 porters, 1 chef, 1 assistant guide and 1 guide. Everyone was very helpful and dedicated in making it the best experience. The guide Oliver in particular was very knowledgeable and had the relevant safety equipment. The chef also cooked exceptional food to a restaurant standard - unbelievable for the setting! The porters also worked exceptionally hard.
Be mindful that tipping is expected and is per person so ask how many will be in the team before you depart. In advance, we were not given much information e.g. on what to bring so don't be shy to ask.
Overall, I would highly recommend Mafie adventures for the full Kilimanjaro experience.

Safari + Kilimanjaro Sep. 2023 - IT WAS PERFECT!
From the beginning everything went well, we talked to Arustus before the trip and met him at the airport as soon as we got there.
Beside a minor change of the start date for the climb (eventually we started one day earlier than planned) everything went like clockwork! The hotels and lodges were very nice and have the value for money we expected for and beyond! Our guides were superb, helped us in everything we needed and became real friends, whom I remain in contact with until today! This goes for both the Kilimanjaro experience and for the safari tour. I recommend this type operator!
P.s. When saying 'we' I mean two male 25 years old travellers.
