My trip with Maramatta Safaris was absolutely incredible! I chose the 5-day Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater package, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment I arrived in Arush (Read More)a, everything was perfectly organized. The team ensured I felt comfortable and ready for the adventure ahead. Tarangire was stunning—so many elephants everywhere! There was one moment where we got really close to a family of elephants as they walked right past our vehicle. It was thrilling, but I always felt safe with our guide, who was a total pro. Ngorongoro Crater, though, took my breath away. The scenery alone was jaw-dropping, and I spotted the elusive black rhino, which I’d been hoping for! The game drives were seamless, and I learned so much from our guide about the history and ecology of the crater. The accommodations Maramatta Safaris arranged were also top-notch. After a day of game viewing, it was wonderful to relax in comfortable lodges with great food and warm hospitality. The entire trip felt like a dream come true. For anyone looking to explore the wild beauty of Tanzania, I highly recommend Maramatta Safaris. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and passion for showcasing the best of Tanzania really shines through. Can’t wait to come back for another safari!

I had the most unforgettable safari experience with Maramatta Safaris! From start to finish, the team took care of everything, making my solo journey from Arusha to the Serengeti seamless. My guide, R (Read More)ichard, was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the wildlife and the Serengeti. It was like being on a tour with a walking encyclopaedia! Blanca from Maramatta Safaris was equally amazing—kind, respectful, and attentive to all my needs. I felt completely safe and well looked after throughout the entire trip. The wildlife sightings were nothing short of breathtaking. I saw lions, elephants, zebras, and so much more, all in their natural habitat. It was truly an unforgettable experience ? I can't recommend Maramatta Safaris enough. They cater to every type of traveller, and their attention to detail ensures you have the best experience possible. If you're thinking about booking an in Tanzania, I highly recommend booking with them!
