EXCELLENT Based on 134 reviews Zina K2026-01-01Verified The perfect combination of comfort, safety and success It was the right decision to make a 5-day trek to Kilimanjaro via the Marangu Route, and the Northern Masailand Safaris served us better than expected. I had a good rest due to the Hut accommodation, which was very important before the summit day.The guides patiently encouraged everyone as they started the summit at night from Kibo Hut. Stepping across Gilman's Point to reach Uhuru Peak was an indescribable feeling. We felt very safe with emergency oxygen, medical kit and experienced guide throughout.Breakfast was good, clean and tasty. It was even better to see their fair treatment of the porters. This trek wasn't just about conquering a mountain - it was about going beyond your limits, and the ««N.M.S»» is the perfect companion to that story. Vianney M2025-12-28Verified From Arusha Roads to Nairobi Nights It was not just a safari, but an opportunity to see the different forms of nature and life of the two countries together. Each park has its own character, and that change is felt step-by-step on this tour. From the dusty elephants of Tarangire, to the open skies of Serengeti, to the dramatic game drives of Masai Mara - everything was beautifully arranged.The lodges were comfortable, the food was good, and most importantly - the knowledge and behavior of the guides was admirable. From the border crossing to the end of the tour in Nairobi, there was no chaos anywhere. Northern Masailand Safaris has made these 10 days really easy, safe and memorable. Steven B2025-12-25Verified More Than a Safari – A Journey Through Nature & Culture Our 5-day Big Cat Safari with Northern Masailand Safaris was truly amazing. James was the guide, his Maasai background and in-depth knowledge of wildlife gave the whole trip a different dimension. In Serengeti, we were able to see several lion families, leopards and cheetahs up close.Descending into the Ngorongoro Crater, it felt like entering a natural amphitheater. Every game drive was planned and never felt rushed. This is undoubtedly the best package for those who want a real experience to see the Big Cat. Fourest Wilson2025-12-16Verified Four Days Inside Nature’s Greatest Show Sometimes the journey begins on an ordinary road, but ends in the memory of a lifetime - this safari was just that. After coming out of Arusha, as I was moving ahead, the scene around was gradually changing, and I realized that something special was going to happen. After reaching Serengeti, I was shocked to see the movement of wildebeest in the vast plains. So many animals walking together - this scene has to be seen in the eyes, not in the camera.While descending into the Ngorongoro Crater, I felt like I was entering nature. The busyness of the animals around, the silent yet lively atmosphere - the experience was profound and different. Northern Masailand Safaris managed the entire journey in such a way that we just enjoyed it and did not have to think about anything else. Adrian Fiala2025-12-09Verified Skvělý zážitek kombinující kulturu a safari Naše třídenní safari s ‹‹(Northern Masailand Safaris)›› bylo naprosto dokonalé. Ranní safari u kráteru Ngorongoro bylo vrcholem celého výletu. Černý nosorožec,,lví smečka,,buvol – viděli jsme všechno zblízka.Náš průvodce je skutečný masajský válečník, takže každý příběh, každé vysvětlení bylo založeno na skutečné zkušenosti. Přestože to byla krátká prohlídka, naučil nás o maasajských tradicích, divoké zvěři a úctě k přírodě.Vynikající služby, bezpečná cesta a upřímná pohostinnost – tento třídenní výlet předčil naše očekávání. Afonso T2025-11-27Verified Two Days, Countless Memories – A Perfect Northern Circuit Safari! We booked the Northern Circuit Safari at Northern Masailand Safaris for only 2 days, and to be honest - the time was short, but the experience was amazing! The joy of going to Lake Manyara and seeing the lions sitting on the trees and the group of big elephants is different. Our guide explained everything very calmly the whole time and knew exactly where any animal could be seen.The moment of landing at Ngorongoro Crater on the second day is truly breathtaking. Such a huge, absolutely perfect natural caldera and the struggle for survival of innumerable animals inside it - everything seems to be in sight. The entire trip was very smooth, timely, and comfortable. Thanks to Northern Masailand Safaris for giving us such a wonderful experience. Liam D2025-11-19Verified I have never experienced such an authentic and heart-touching safari anywhere else. My wife and I did an 8-day private safari with Northern Masailand Safaris - Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Natron. Our guide Focus is a real Maasai community man, so it's not book knowledge, it's the forest in his blood. He took us to his village, Maasai women sang and welcomed us, children jumped and danced - this was not a show, this was their real life.And what touched my heart - a large part of the money from the tour goes directly to the Maasai orphan girls' school and shelter. It's comforting to know that I didn't just come to visit, I was able to help a little bit.Accommodation was very comfortable, food was good and the car was very clean. The price may seem a little high, but it's a lot less than what I got. I'll be back with the kids next year.Hakuna matata!🙏 Thank you very much Northern Masailand. Wabashin2025-08-24Verified A trip experience that is a “must do”! Henry Kapolondo and his guides at Northern Masailand did a fabulous job and I consider this one of the most enjoyable, exciting, informative and important trips of my life. My brother and my son took safaris with Henry’s father and told me this was something I must do. Unfortunately, Henry’s father died before that was possible and I was a little apprehensive about booking with the son. I can share my worries were for nothing. Henry met us at the airport and made sure our experience was fully accommodated. Our guide worked very hard to make sure we had the best trip possible. He was college educated, spoke five languages, and made sure we saw every major animal species in the Serengeti National Park. Hotel and “tent camping” were amazing. All of the Tanzanian people were hospitable and showed they understood how important tourism was to their people and their personal success. The food was and accomodations were above expectation. I would recommend this an experience of a lifetime and every experienced traveler should put this on their list of “must do” destinations. If you read this Henry, I can’t think you enough for making this experience possible. Best wishes to you and your wife and Northern Masailand Adventures. You’re the best!!! Wei-Lun Huang2025-08-18Verified Wonderful arrangements, experienced guides and priceless memories. The team of Northern Masailand Safaris is very organized and sincere. The guide was very experienced, explaining to us in detail the history of each animal and region. In Serengeti, we saw lion pride, cheetah hunting, and numerous wildlife, including giraffe, elephant, and buffalo. The moment of landing at Ngorongoro Crater was unforgettable. It has been a privilege to see the black rhino inside the crater - which is a really rare experience. Troels Madsen2025-08-09Verified The trip was, in a word, great!! I went on safari in Africa for the first time in my life, and I feel like-why didn't I come here sooner! During the first few days of the game drive, our guide showed us animals that we didn't even know we were looking for. Lions, cheetahs, and rhinos - I have seen them all, and every time the guide has made the place more alive with funny stories. When I arrived in Zanzibar, I felt like I was in a different world - white sand beaches, clear blue water, and sunsets. The service of Northern Masailand Safaris is so smooth and professional that the entire trip was stress-free.
