A Magical Safari Indeed
A "bucket list" item fulfilled beyond expectations. Fantastic experience thanks to our local maasai-magic guides, Gabriel and Alan (sp?). They were amazing, very knowledgeable about all of the different birds and wildlife, and where to view them. They even knew how to take the best photos based on the angle and lighting! The lodges were beautiful and I never knew tents could be so luxurious. Food was delicious and generous. I can't imagine going with any other safari tour.

A Dream Come True
It has always been a dream of mine to go on safari in Africa. This was my first trip, it was literally a dream come true ! My guide was Gabriel, he has so much knowledge about the animals and takes extra care not to disrupt them, which I really liked. He goes above and beyond to make sure his guests are comfortable and enjoying themselves. The accommodations, staff and food were A++++. I would not hesitate to recommend Maasai Magic Safaris to anyone interested in going !! :) :)

Second Safari with Maasai Magic Safaris
This was my second trip with Maasai Magic Safaris and everyday was like it was preplanned for us by Disney. Being a photographer I was real happy with their newly purchased Landcruisers that are configured with photographers in mind. Setting for four, the vehicle allowed us to move around without getting in each others way. Many times on safari you seem 6-7 people jammed into a vehicle and I couldn't imagine traveling this way. Gabriel was our guide again and he is so full of information on animals and knows their behavior, almost predicting what they will do next. His customer service and attention to detail is top notch and he understands the needs of customers.
The tour itinerary was perfect in every way as well as the accommodations, especially the Kitela African Spa Lodge, which was a favorite.
Thank you Maasai Magic Safaris for another wonderful lifetime experience.

Memories for a Lifetime!!!
I went on my first safari, which has always been a dream, this past month with Maasai Magic Safaris. The entire trip exceeded all expectations. Viewing and photographing all the amazing animals was such a magical experience. Gabriel was our guide and he really took a good trip and made it exceptional! I can't say enough good things about him. He is extremely knowledgable and has a passion for what he does. On top of that, he goes the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable and enjoying yourself. If you have any doubts you won't go wrong if you choose Maasai Magic.
The guides were outstanding and the vehicles were in top shape.
I had high expectations and was not disappointed. The accommodations were more than satisfactory. The tour was great from the first morning to the last day.

First Class Company and a Lifetime Experience
From my initial communication to plan the trip to months after I arrived home, Maasai Magic Safaris proved to be a top rated company. Our guide Gabriel was so knowledgeable and did everything to make sure we had a wonderful time. Sometimes in Africa you get many once in a lifetime opportunities and I had at least five of those on my trip. As a photographer sometimes patience is needed to get the photo and each time Gabriel was accommodating to ensure that I had enough time to do so. Other times I just put the camera down to take it all in. I could go over a list of the things we did, but that would take up much more room than needed on this review. Throughout the trip I always felt safe, though my own mind would play with me on what ifs, but Gabriel helped me understand animal behavior and was a fountain of knowledge throughout the whole trip. We stayed at many great places including beautiful lodges and tented camps. The tented camps were fantastic, another reviewer shared her thoughts and didn't seem to like them. I'm sorry, but when you are in Africa, a tented camp is awesome. You have all the conveniences that you need, but also the ability to enjoy a campfire under the African stars with perhaps some thunder rumbling in the distance.
I will be joining Maasai Magic Safaris at the end of 2015 again and can't wait to share this trip with other travelers.

AMAZING SAFARI EXPERIENCE!
What an incredible experience! If you want really quality safari vehicles and guides, this is the company to book with! Cannot fault them in any way.
We started off from Arusha - Tarangire - Lake Manyara - Ngorongoro - Serengeti - Arusha. It was a group of 12. Our guides ensured we always got to the best places, with absolutely superb position to see animals including the migratory wildebeests and zebras - we had loads of 'clicking' time all along. We saw the Big 5 plus plus plus! Guides knowledge of the animals, their behaviors, and everything about them is a credit to them - I think they were also excited as much when experiencing this magnificent part of the planet! The places we stayed were extremely fabulous, with very high standards and the staff very friendly. Thank you all for letting us experience a trip of a life time in Africa with you- we will definitely be back!

The more I reflect on this trip, the more I appreciate how great it was, a once in a lifetime trip.
Knowledgeable and skillful Gabi and Guido took the extra step to ensure we were witness to over 40 species of mammals and 180 birds at play, at feeding, mating, at rest and at surviving. Phillipo added his touch of humanness, humor and warmth to the Masaai Magic staff. Food, lodging, transportation were also excellent. So much fun being a part of the "5M" tour. Have been raving about this trip to friends and family.
