Thank you Msangi for a fantastic safari!
Our safari in Tanzania was nothing short of extraordinary, and we have our incredible guide, Msangi, to thank for it. From the moment we set out, his deep knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture made every moment an adventure.
Msangi’s passion for the wilderness was evident in the way he expertly tracked animals, ensuring we had breathtaking sightings of the Big Five and so much more. His insights into animal behavior and the delicate balance of the ecosystem added a whole new layer of appreciation to our journey.
Beyond his expertise, Msangi was a fantastic host—warm, patient, and always ensuring we were comfortable and engaged. Whether it was sharing fascinating stories around the campfire or navigating the Serengeti with ease, his presence made our safari truly special.
If you’re looking for a guide who combines professionalism, knowledge, and a genuine love for Tanzania’s natural beauty, Msangi is the perfect choice. We can’t recommend him highly enough and will cherish these memories forever!

Beyond expectations
It was first time for us and had no idea what to expect. Was a bit worried as the price given to us was extremely cheap compared to other companies so didn't know what to expect. However, it went beyond our expectations. Communication with Davies was good. Damien, Maleo and Tito where fantastic (guide, supplier and chef). Mr T was our contact person in Arusha and he was very helpful and came to our rescue when the driver went to the wrong hotel for another client and caused some delay. Due to this the company offered us, as an apology, complementary meal at the hotel on our return. That's excellent customer service! Food during the safari trip was excellent (plentiful), driving by our guide Damien was very skilful and we got plenty of opportunities taking photos and information about the animals. It was amazing, saw the great 5 but two quite far away so don't forget your binoculars (you can rent it from the company if needed or hope that a kind fellow traveller will lend you theirs). It does get quite cold at night so make sure you bring some warm clothing, especially if you are camping. Campsites are shared with other companies, very basic toilets showers (cold/some may have hot shower but the tanks are small....and a bit run down actually). Some of the group members paid extra to stay in a lodge and the lodges looked amazing, was very surprised how cheap it was (when asked how much they paid for the trip). I never thought of asking about it as I assumed it would be mega expensive as in the prices given by other companies. However, camping was fine as you get a very nice sunset/sunrise. Another advice, it does get very dusty, people with long hair should get a leave in conditioner or hair oil. I would definitely recommend Suricata if you are on a budget.

Very good customer care
I used Mtango Safaris Tours to Ngorongoro National Park on February this year, i realy enjoyed to have with me an excellent Tourguide named Frank, he explained to me really in details about Animals i had seen on that day. He also gave me enough time to take pictures around Ngorongoro Crater.
This was my second time to use Mtango Safaris Tours and will not be the last one because they offered good services always and reasonable price if you compare with others.
I told them that next trip they should drive me to Serengeti National Park ( That is my next trip will be again with Mtango Safaris).
Likewise, on my way to Zanzibar, i stop in Dar es salaam for one day, there i met the Manager of Mtango Safaris Tour named Agripa (very friendly guy) and he invited me to get Lunch in Kipepeo Beach. while i was in Dar i also used Agripas Car and i don't have to pay anything. This customer care i got from Mtango Safaris Tours i will really not forget.
Hope to see you soon for the next trip.

The best guides in the most comfortable camps with unparalleled service
I went on a photography safari with Sam and his team back in 2023 and was in absolute awe over his and Paul's ability to spot animals before anyone else, the level of service that their mobile camps provide, and the kindness and friendliness that each member of his staff brought to the experience. Somehow, and I don't know how, they exceeded that experience on my most recent trip with Early Kingfisher through the Central Kalahari up to Makgadikgadi.
Once again, the tents and beds were comfortable and clean, with camp chairs always set up on our porches during the day, and our bathrooms ready to use with hot water whenever we returned from a game drive. The food was excellent again - somehow the meals and desserts and teatime were even better this time. Sam has made small improvement here and there along the way, most you wouldn't notice. But one big one was electric lights in each tent and each bathroom, making getting ready for bed at night and prepping for the day so much easier than relying on the lanterns that were present on the previous trip.
The staff was both invisible and accessible. Always there when you needed them, but all but disappearing when you didn't. That said, they are so kind and friendly, you were always happy when they were there.
Sam was our sole guide this trip, and he provided the expertise and passion I came to expect after the first safari. That, combined with the guidance of David W. Shaw (our photo guide), made for sitings you wouldn't believe. Some highlights included an adventure when Sam spotted a leopard our last night in the Kalahari and we followed the big cat at a distance, observing it getting ready for an evening hunt. The next morning, Dave spotted another leopard on our way to a lodge, this time a smaller female in a tree. We stated with her for several hours as, like the male the night before, she showed no fear and plenty of curiosity. And so, so, so many lions. Sam is so passionate about the wildlife, he is happy to stay with them as long as you want.
I cannot recommend Early Kingfisher highly enough and I look forward to sharing the experience with friends and family next time!
