Mbassa Adventures and our guides, Enoch Nnko and Ayubu Luhala, made my groups' experience amazing. They made sure our party of 11 adults and one two-year old had an excellent time!!! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my experience with Mbassa Adventures, and we were all sad to say goodbye to our guides who felt like family after our seven day safari. I went into this trip thinking it would be a once in a lifetime event, but I gladly plan to return to Tanzania to share this wonderful country and our kind hosts with others. I would recommend Mbassa Adventures to anyone looking for a honest and conscientious company. Also, I endorse Enoch Nnko and Ayubu Luhala as passionate and caring guides who love sharing the beauty of their country. Needless to say, the entire trip from our guides, hosts, accommodations and food far exceeded my expectations and I look forward to returning!

Jane Goodall did her wild chimpanzee studies in the park. Visitors can talk to scientists at the research facilities adjacent to the lodge and administratin buildings. Lake Tangayika beach shore is relaxing. One can hire a guide to observe the chimpanzee troop that lives in the park.

It all started out when a group of 8 close friends wanted to go on a safari in Tanzania. Thankfully, we knew of one trustworthy company: Mbassa Adventures.
After contacting the company with some basic detail, like the number of people going on the trip, they synthesized two potential plans for us.
We were given the agenda for the three day, two night safari in no time! We knew we would be going to the Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire.
The first night, we stayed in an amazing tented guest house that had a pool, WiFi, and very tasty dinner and breakfast. Additionally, they offered an early morning nature walk.
The following night, we once again stayed in a very nice guest house with a pool, WiFi, and a very good dinner and breakfast buffet.
Each day of the safari was spectacular in its own way! We saw three parks and they were all more than we expected. Our guide made sure to point out every animal and gave adequate information about every park. The lunches were packed and easy to eat. They were quite tasty and even had a small dessert!
Overall, the experiences that occurred over the three-day, two-night safari extravaganza were ones that will always be cherished by 8 friends who wanted to see some animals.
10/10 would recommend to everyone!

We had a great time in Tanzania with Mbassa Adventures! We were lucky enough to do a day hike up Mt Kilimanjaro, kayaking on Lake Duluti, all around the markets & schools of Arusha and also to a coffee plantation. We were looked after so well by Mbassa and Alex, who thought of all of the small details to ensure we had the best trip possible. Asante sana guys!
Definitely recommend if you are coming to Tanzania and looking for a great company to make sure you have a fabulous time.

Mbassa adventures took us kaiaking, to the food markets and then on to Rockland School where our daughter had worked in 2016 as a volunteer! Followed by an amazing tour of a local coffee plantation! Mbassa and Alex were first rate and couldnt have looked after us any better! Thoroughly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again! Asante sana both!

This group or guides were the very best. They knew how to find the action packed places on the safari. They were especially great with our 2 yr old granddaughter. They went over and beyond.
