Very well organized, exceeded expectations.
Excellent fast communication, clear concise payment method, adaptable to our needs.
Really setup up a great experience with quality accommodation that was above our expectations, comfort and food quality was 5 stars! Views and experiences at the accommodation were truly superb.
Toyota 4x4 was in great condition and driver was very responsive if one of us felt driving was to fast etc, nothing was out of possibility, our every needs was catered to. Wildlife viewing was excellent! We were lucky and saw every animal on the list! Time was spent relaxing with wildlife interactions without feeling rushed.

Well organised, knowledgable, friendly , luxury experience
From first enquiry the communication was great , as we had some initial questions before booking this trip from overseas. The length of safari was perfect for us and we had a good feeling about the company.
Initial deposit was easy as was final payment.
Everything happens on the safari that was outlined in the safari summary from hotel pickup in Arusha, meeting at the airport in the Serengeti to drop off back in Arusha.
The accommodation on our trip was top notch luxury.
Our vehicle was modern and spacious for the 2 of us.
Our guide (Sam) was a legend and clearly had a lot of experience, especially as he was raised in the bush. You could tell he really cared about the animals. An advantage of these smaller safari companies is you get more experienced guides/ drivers.
We would strongly recommend using Thamani safari.

Very dedicated and professional
My friends and I booked an Amboseli safari with Jupicon late December 2025,their hospitality was remarkable and Martin (their guide) was always hands on and ensured we saw all the animals which made the experience even better.
Would highly recommend anyone to book with Jupicon Expeditions

Everything we could have asked for and more
From the beginning our tour with Papa John has been great, he provided plenty of information before every journey and explained what would be happening day by day so we were well informed.
During the tour he was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and masai people. You can tell he is extremely passionate about the animals and teaching visitors about them, he goes past just explaining the animals and their habitat but also has scientific explanations for why some things occur, we didn't have a question he couldn't answer.
While on the safari John identified a group of lions, he knew before it happened that the male and female was likely to mate and we were lucky to see the 10 seconds of wonder, he also spotted an older larger male nearby and kept close enough for us to get a great view of what would become a fight for dominance, his expertise meant we were truly fortunate to witness both events.
We've felt safe throughout our tour and have had everything we've needed, we would definitely recommend and hopefully work with Papa John and Jocky tours again.

The tour operator was very kind and gave amazing services.
Easy budget safaris offered me an unforgettable experience at Maasai Mara.Even in the next life I'd still choose Easy budget safaris.

Almost 5 star safari on a budget
I traveled solo during the low season and wanted to experience a safari in Tanzania on a budget. Joining a group was the only realistic way to make that happen. I booked the tour about five months in advance and chose mid-range accommodation.
Because travelers in my group stayed in different accommodation categories (budget, mid-range, and luxury), there was additional time spent each day picking everyone up — sometimes up to an extra hour of driving. It wasn’t ideal, but I understood it as part of a mixed-group setup, especially during the low season.
Derick handled the arrangements and was friendly and easy to communicate with. The company used vehicles and guides from another operator, which I assume is a common practice during low season to consolidate groups.
The only unpleasant aspect was that two out of six nights my accommodation was slightly downgraded without advance notice. Better communication here would have made a difference. That said, it didn’t overshadow the overall experience.
I was asked in advance about food preferences, but no special arrangements were actually made. I adjusted and simply avoided meat and chicken in the lunch and breakfast boxes, which was manageable but worth noting for travelers with stricter dietary requirements.
The safari itself was outstanding. Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire were unforgettable, and the guides, vehicles, and Serengeti lodge were genuinely five-star in terms of the overall experience.
In most lodges (except the first and last nights in Arusha), there was no internet in the rooms — only in common areas like dining or reception — something to be aware of if connectivity matters to you.
Overall, the safari experience was excellent and deeply rewarding. For a solo traveler on a budget, it delivered exactly what I came for: remarkable wildlife, strong guiding, and unforgettable days in Tanzania’s national parks

Fantastic safari and service!
Fantastic safari for four days 18-21 Januari (2026) arranged by Midian and with Luka as excellent guide and driver. Midian went above and beyond in his communication leading up to the trip (we booked ourselves with them a few months prior) but also meeting us for a briefing before as well as checking with us afterwards that we were satisfied. Luka took us in a Toyota Land Cruiser with pop-up roof around Serengeti, Nduto and the Ngorongoro crater. We saw all of the big five, and some 40 other animals and birds and Luka told us all about them and was extremely patient with the 1000+ questions we asked him. 🤣 He was fantastic at spotting animals and sharing information and entertaining stories. We stayed in really good tent camps and a hotel with swimming pool the last night. The food and hospitality of hotel staff left nothing more to wish for. Everything was as described by Midian or better, highly recommended! Six of five stars!
