Amazing
I found the safari very pleasant and comfortable and above all very professional with regard to dealing with customers, they received me from my hotel which was far away and they hosted me the afternoon we finished the safari, they were concerned at all times for me and above all I found the price very good.

Amaizing safari
This is my second time visiting the National Parks in Arusha, Tanzania and I have had the best experience with Kibo Mawenzi Safaris in Jan 2023 as compared to the last time in August 2021 when I used another tour operator I got after arriving in Arusha. This time I was coming for my honeymoon, and I can say it was the best decision my husband and I ever made.
With Kibo Mawenzi Safaris team, communication was fast and very informative. The guide was also very professional, passionate, attentive to our requests and well organized. He gave us very informative briefings, He was also humble and a true environmentalist, he even collected wastes he saw on our way to protect the parks. He also made sure we saw animals very close and explained about so many animals, it was incredible to learn so much.
In the end, my husband and I got exactly what we expected, we saw everything from lions, elephants, cheetahs, crocodiles, hippos, and countless other animals and birds in their natural habitat. Each lodge we stayed had enough facilities, was safe, comfortable, and clean and we were taken very good care of.
Thank you Kibo Mawenzi Safaris for the memories!

A day well spent in Moshi!
In a group of five, after our breakfast, we had booked to visit Materuni Waterfalls and Chemka Hotsprings on a one day excursion. We saw the famous Mount Kilimanjaro and hiked to the Materuni Waterfalls. We also learnt about the chaga tribe, local coffee and local banana beer making factory. If it was cool to see how alcohol can be made from very basic fruits and the taste was really magnificent. We then drove to Chemka Hotsprings for a swim. The booking process was smooth with Lilian and the guide Andrew was so friendly and informative, we learned some few dance moves to some Tanzanian songs

Great Safari tour from Zanzibar to the Serengeti
This tour was coordinated with all flights transportation and accommodations. This tour operator made all of the arrangements. We got picked up at our shop, transferred to the airport, picked up when we arrived in the Serengeti airport, safari for 7 hours the day we arrived with Lucas Safari and brought to our resort at Serena resort. Meals were all included and a second day 3 hour Safari before being dropped off at the airport again. Flights back to Zanzibar were on time and our ride was waiting for us as planned to take us back to our ship. Communication with all of the contacts and tour operator were timely all on WhatsApp. Great trip with flawless planning. Cheers

Morgan was very polite, friendly and knowledgable. Could not recommend him enough.
Brilliant experience!
Our tour operator, Morgan, waited for us patiently even though our flight was delayed (not the companies fault). He asked us what we wanted to do straight away so the tour was led by us.
Saw all the animals, elephants, giraffe, lions, hyenas, etc even saw some monkeys where we were staying.
Accommodation clean and tidy and the staff there were also friendly and attentive!
Could not recommend this tour enough for anyone thinking about doing a safari!
Really good value for money compared to other safari tours!
Thank you for such a good time!

Great value and amazing guide and cook
Once in a lifetime experience.
Our guide/driver and cook were amazing. Super knowledgeable and crazy fun to be around! Made the already great experience even better.
Accommodation was good, food was delicious.
Since the driver seemed to know all good spots, and he somehow had better vision than us (even without binoculars), there were plenty of chances to see the big 5 (rhinos are a bit tricky to see, though, even in Ngorongoro).
Not specific to this operator as this is common for all safaris, but be prepared for long drives on dirt roads which can get quite dusty.
A face mask is not a bad idea :)

Great experience wanting you to come back
We booked 5 days safari and one day Kilimanjaro hike- Materuni waterfall.
Everything was good organized, our guide Wiliam was amazing and managed to show us a lot of animals- almost all of big 5 (to see rhino we need to come back), ugly 5 :) and all in between. We had a personal chef Meshak making us tasty food.
Overall it was a great energy and atmosphere during our safari trip
I would like to say thank you to the people who organised it - asante sana
