Standing Out
From the Herd

Planning a Tanzania safari can feel overwhelming. There are many parks, places to stay, routes and different opinions.

Our job is to reduce the noise.

We’ve always believed the very best safaris start with genuine knowledge and experience. At Mnava Tours, every trip is planned by people who know Tanzania from the ground.

From the open plains of the Serengeti to Ngorongoro, Tarangire and beyond, we understand where to send you, when to go and how to build the safari around what you actually want to experience.

We don’t believe in forcing every traveller into the same fixed itinerary. Your safari should make sense for you.

CULTURE EXPERIENCE IN TANZANIA. Review of Cultural Experience in Mto wa Mbu with Mnavatoursafari. I had a wonderful cultural experience in Mto wa Mbu with Mnava Tour Safari. The tour provided an excellent opportunity to explore the local community, learn about different cultures, and experience the daily life of the people living in the area. During the tour, I visited local areas and interacted with community members. I enjoyed learning about traditional ways of life, local food, farming activities, arts and crafts. The experience was very educational because it allowed me to understand the cultural diversity of Mto wa Mbu beyond what I could learn from books. The tour was well organized, and the guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and able to explain the cultural activities clearly. I particularly enjoyed the interaction with local people because it created a genuine cultural exchange between visitors and the community. Overall, my cultural experience in Mto wa Mbu with Mnava Tour Safari was memorable, informative, and enjoyable. I would recommend Mnava Tour Safari to anyone who wants to experience the authentic culture, traditions, and community life of Mto wa Mbu. A great cultural experience that combines learning, local interaction, and unforgettable memories!

THE NORTHERN CIRCUIT EXPERIENCE My Northern Circuit wildlife safari with Mnava Tour Safari was an unforgettable experience and one of the best adventures I have ever had. The trip was well organized from the beginning, with professional communication, comfortable transportation, and knowledgeable guides who made every game drive exciting and educational. The safari covered some of Tanzania's most famous destinations, including Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Each park offered unique landscapes and incredible wildlife viewing opportunities. I was fortunate to see elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, hippos, and many species of birds in their natural habitats. The safari guide was experienced, friendly, and highly skilled at spotting wildlife while sharing interesting information about animal behavior, conservation, and Tanzanian culture. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the meals were delicious and well prepared throughout the journey. One of the highlights of the trip was witnessing the breathtaking scenery of the Serengeti and the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, where wildlife could be observed at close range in a beautiful natural setting. The peaceful atmosphere of Lake Manyara and the large elephant herds in Tarangire added even more excitement to the experience. Overall, Mnava Tour Safari provided excellent customer service, reliable organization, and a memorable wildlife adventure. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for an authentic Northern Circuit safari in Tanzania. It is an outstanding choice for travelers seeking adventure, beautiful landscapes, and unforgettable wildlife experiences.

AMAZING SAFARIS The cook was excellent, and the guide was outstanding as well 👏. The only minor downside was that the first campsite could have been better in a few aspects. Aside from that, everything was well organized and exceeded our expectations. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and we had a wonderful time. Thank you for making our safari such a memorable and enjoyable adventure 😊.

WILDLIFE AND CULTURAL EXPERIENCE My safari with mnavatourandsafaris.com⁠. Was truly unforgettable. From the vast plains of the Serengeti National Park to the vibrant cultural experiences in Mto wa Mbu, every moment was well organized and enjoyable. The wildlife viewing in the Serengeti was incredible. We had the opportunity to see lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, and many other animals in their natural habitat. The guide was knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about wildlife, making each game drive both exciting and educational.The cultural tour in Mto wa Mbu was equally impressive. Meeting local community members, learning about their traditions, tasting local food, and exploring the village gave us a deeper understanding of Tanzanian culture. It was a perfect complement to the wildlife safari experience. I highly recommend Mnava Tour Safari to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable safari experience. Thank you for making my dream adventure come true.

WONDERFUL SAFARI I had a wonderful wildlife safari experience in Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti National Park. The safari was exciting, educational, and unforgettable. During the trip, I saw many wild animals such as lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, and wildebeests in their natural environment. Seeing animals moving freely in the wild was one of the best moments of my experience. The safari guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and well experienced. They explained animal behaviors, conservation activities, and the importance of protecting wildlife. The game drives were enjoyable because the roads passed through beautiful landscapes with hills, grasslands, and forests. I also enjoyed the peaceful environment and fresh air of nature. Early morning game drives were especially interesting because many animals were active at that time. Taking photographs of wildlife and scenery made the safari more memorable. Another good experience was interacting with local communities such as the Maasai people. I learned about their culture, traditions, and lifestyle, which added cultural value to the safari experience.

Heart warming sweet and good hospitality We had a fantastic 5-day safari that exceeded our expectations in every respect. Together with four other guests we were able to experience an incredible number of animals up close – a real highlight! Big praise to our driver Idi, who was not only extremely experienced, but also shared a lot of knowledge about the wildlife with us. Likewise, Fredy’s food was just great – varied, fresh and super delicious. The whole organization was perfect, there were no problems whatsoever. Drinks were always plentiful, and individual wishes during the tour were also taken into account at all times and implemented in the best possible way. All in all an unforgettable safari, well organized, with great team, delicious food and many unique wildlife observations. Highly recommended.

Africa safari trip The trip was amazing, and our driver Rashidi was excellent also. He made sure we saw all of the amazing aninals and making sure we got the best out of the experience. He gave us hot chicken and rice with a side of fresh fruit for lunch everyday. Made sure we were comfortable, and was willing to do whatever we wanted. Bring warm clothes to wear in the cooler months. Can't wait to do this adventure again and have Rashidi as our tour guide again.
