5.00Kibo Mawenzi Safaris was a great organised our 2 day budget safari. Our exploring the Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater was a authentic wildlife adventure experience. Our guide was very professional and always answered easily. Tarangire was breathtakingly beautiful, especially with the giant baobab trees and the large herds of elephants crossing the road. Ngorongoro Crater felt like a natural wonder with breathtaking views and endless animals spread across the crater floor. Kibo Mawenzi Safaris offered incredible value, and I would definitely recommend them to travelers wanting adventure on a budget.
2 day journey with Kibo Mawenzi.

5.00Our 2-day safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro exceeded every expectation. From the moment we entered Tarangire, the landscape was alive with elephants, giraffes, and curious zebras. The game drives felt intimate, and our guide Elia's knowledge turned every sighting into a story. Visiting a Masai village was eye-opening; we learned about their daily life and traditions in a way that felt personal, not staged. Picnic lunches were delicious. This trip was incredibly memorable for our whole family.
Authentic and Memorable.

5.00We had an amazing 2-day budget safari in Tanzania with Kibo Mawenzi Safaris and it was a great time to adventure with my family. We explored the 1st the Tarangire National Park with wildlife and wonderful baobab trees. Then the legendary Ngorongoro Crater was our dream destination. We were very excited when we entered, the animals actions were just thrilling. The camping facilities were comfortable, and we felt relaxed after a long safari. The food was good. One of the most memorable parts was visiting a Masai village and learning about their way of life. Our guide Mayunga was attentive and knowledgeable, making sure we had the best possible experience. A very memorable journey, the organization Kibo team very responsible. These two days were affordable trips full of priceless memories. We would recommend Kibo Mawenzi.
Wonderful 2 day with professional Elia.

5.00Our 2 day safari was an unforgettable moment that was not only exciting but also a very educational journey for our kids. Tarangire & Ngorongoro crater exploring was amazing with our professional guide Elia. Our kids were very satisfied and liked him, He made so many funny moments with our kids. The Maasai village visit was a highlight, offering genuine interaction and insight into their customs. Picnics in scenic spots felt special, breaking up the drives with relaxed enjoyment. Watching sunsets across open plains became our daily ritual-each one unique and breathtaking. It was not expensive it was very affordable for me and we got an authentic safari experience.
2 days was thrilling and full of excitement.

5.00Just 2 days. Thousands of animals. Zero regrets. Our safari with Kibo Mawenzi Safaris, we explored Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was packed with action from the moment we entered the parks. We saw lions hunting, cheetahs resting in the shade, and herds of wildebeest stretching out to the horizon. Every bend in the road seemed like a surprise waiting to happen. Ngorongoro was the wildest birdlife we had ever seen – rhinos, buffalo, flamingos, all sharing the same vast natural environment. Enjoying it with my girlfriend – laughing, pointing and trying to absorb everything at once – made it even better. Elia was really amazing friendly guide for us, very helpful, punctual he made our safari very enjoyable.
Excellent experience with a professional guide.

5.00Two days exploring with Joseph at Kibo Mawenzi Safaris in Tanzania. My family and I recently finished our exciting two-day wildlife safari. We explored the two national parks of Tarengire and Ngorongoro crater. What we liked most was the naturalness of the landscape. Silence reigned in Tarangire, only the movement of the wind, birds and animals. Silence reigned on the ground. Ngorongoro crater was more active, but environmentally friendly. Our very professional guide Joseph avoided the crowds whenever possible, giving us moments of solitude. We were very pleased with their responsiveness and hospitable service. It was instructive, exciting and surprisingly comfortable for a short and cheap expedition.
2-day budget safari, and very affordable for us.

5.00Our 2-day safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro in the middle of December 2025 was short but incredibly meaningful for our couple. Elia was really perfect and very professional guide for us. He ensured our safety and made our 2 day memorable. The experience of spending just two days with Kibo Mawenzi Safaris felt completely and deeply special. It is a memory we will always share and cherish.
