A life changing adventure that more than lived up to our expectations!
This was an excellent safari from the initial pick up at the airport to the final drop off. Everything was professional and well done. Our safari guides, Gabi and Guido were excellent; they were so insightful, so helpful in everything we did from driving to areas where we witnessed the animals in their natural habitat to capturing the moments first hand of lions stalking/killing their prey, to finding the cheetah mother and her 3 cubs. We would have missed/passed by an incredible close up of a large leopard in a tree without our guide picking up the visual cue. This truly was a remarkable adventure, one of those life experiences that changes how you look and interact with nature forever into the future - BUT all because of the guides incredible knowledge, insight to animal behavior and personal interest to share their world with us. My wife and I have travelled the world, been a part of many adventures, but this ranks in the top five and I truly give the credit to our professional, knowledgeable, and FUN guides. We and our safari group enjoyed all the time we spent with them.
So to recount- the guides were excellent, the vehicles we used were excellent with great viewing, the hotels we stayed at were excellent, and some of them were in the middle of the game reserve, so animals surrounded us ( how cool is that), and lastly, the food was excellent- fresh, nice choices, and great wine- all in the middle of nowhere. I don't know how they do it but they deliver it all and far exceeded our expectations.

A magical trip indeed!
There were 11 in our group including our own naturalist guide, and we had the most amazing experience. The driver/guides have a preternatural ability to spot wildlife. We watched 45 mammal species (a hundred lions! Hundreds of zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, warthogs, baboons, elephants, impala! And leopards and cheetahs!) and 182 birds species (check out the crazy "secretary bird", "kori bustard" and the ubiquitous and beautiful "superb starling") resting and feeding on the silent plains, usually quite oblivious of us. I wasn't a birder before, but I think I'm going to be one from here out. Zooming through the landscape in an open air land cruiser was breathtaking. The accommodations were very comfortable ("glamping"; imagine a double bed, a private toilet, and a hot shower INSIDE A TENT), and the food was delicious, plentiful and fresh. Me, I can't wait to go again!

We had the most memorable and amazing safari tour - a dream came true for our group of 15.
The staff are most attentive, taking care of our requests seriously and down to small details. We had the most capable and knowledgeable guides who generously shared their knowledge with us. They are careful and great drivers, sociable and humorous. They took care of our needs and worked very hard. They have more than perfection vision and are able to spot animals from far away and understand their behaviors. They are probably some of the best in the industry. Food was much better than we expected, always plentiful and tasty.

the driver is extremely friendly and hard working
the last two tents are a bit disappointed otherwise the whole trip is very exciting and interesting. Everything has been good taking care of. If the living place and food can be improve a little then will be more attractive.

a magical stay
The local guides are fabulous. They are all rounded in their knowledge about the land, living creatures, culture, and doing their best to make our stay memorable. They are kind and personable, putting their heart in their work to show us their country and land. Lodgings and food are excellent and carefully chosen for our comfort and satisfaction.

My family and I have had extremely fantastic experience travelling with Maasai Magic Safaris
My family and I travelled with Maasai Magic Safaris for Christmas holiday in Africa. The company was recommended by a friend who also happened to have fab time in Tanzania with them in 2011!We decided to email this company and communicated our wishes to Africa and guess what, they gave us superb options and we picked the first one on the spot as they relayed more than we needed for an African safaris for us and after that wired the money to their account for our reservations and notified us of the bookings immediately. We were met with flowers by their representative at the airport and transferred to a hotel for an overnight stay and this gave us another big note of the quality of the travel company we were travelling with, they took care of us unexpectedly and showed us how great their country, the friendly people and the amazing wildlife. We took over 4000 pictures during this tour and need time to sort them out to show to our friends back home!
