    Our 4-day expedition in Tanzania was a Big Five wonderland, and camping made every scene more intense. Standing a few meters away from a snarling buffalo or spotting a majestic lion lazily basking in the shade was both humbling and thrilling. The untouched, vast plains of the Serengeti provided the perfect backdrop for real wildlife encounters. Camping reminded us that we were part of this ecological theater, fueled by the raw power of nature, From our heart a big thanks to Kibo Mawenzi for all arrangements specially maintained. Every game drive was an adrenaline rush, yet peaceful, like being part of a grand, ancient story unfolding before our eyes.

  • Tanzanian nature and wildlife had carved a permanent place in our hearts

    Our 4 day wonderful camping safari Tanzania was our 1st time safari experience. We contacted Kibo Mawenzi and confirmed for a 4 day safari. Our pre trip communication was very helpful for us, they told us the whole planning. Finally we arrived at Arusha international airport the team was waiting for us and were welcomed very warmly. Early morning we started at Serengeti National Park, Our guide was so skilled, his skill made every game drive a learning experience, transforming simple sightings into unforgettable stories. Serengeti was the heart of the journey, a vast, golden world alive with movement. Watching the Great Migration up close was overwhelming in the best way, thousands of animals moved as one, creating a rhythm that stayed with us long after. The journey to the Ngorongoro Crater brought an amazing sense of wonder, the descent felt like entering a natural amphitheater filled with wildlife. Lake Manyara surprised us with its vibrant birds life and the thrill of spotting tree-climbing lions. We felt this place very peaceful. The 4 day experiencing it with my 6 friends made every chapter richer.

    This 4-day private camping tour through Tanzania was the highlight of our second anniversary and this celebration really made it so memorable by Kibo Mawenzi Safaris, honestly they were best as a Tanzanian local tour operator. Serengeti our 1st stop our guide Joseph was perfect guide for us, he was expectional and very friendly. The Serengeti gave us more than just wildlife sightings- it gave us moments we'll cherish forever. We watched giraffes move gracefully against the horizon, heard lions calling at night, soft winds carrying the scent of dry grass, and wildlife everywhere we looked. Spending two nights in the park allowed us to really settle into the rhythm of nature, waking early for sunrise drives and winding down each evening with warm meals under the stars. We saw lions resting after a hunt, towering elephants walking calmly across the plains, and cheetahs stretching lazily atop termite mounds. Ngorongoro Crater offered a dramatic shift in scenery. From the top, the view was so grand that we stood in silence for a long moment before descending. Lake Manyara was the gentle ending we needed, filled with greenery and calm waters reflecting the sky. This anniversary adventure strengthened our bond and filled us with appreciation for the Tanzanian's natural world.

    Our 4-day camping tour with Kibo Mawenzi Safaris, my girlfriend and I felt lucky to be part of such a welcoming group. The sense of camaraderie built quickly as we headed toward the Serengeti. Our guide was Stewart, he was very talented and friendly, he was always careful about ensuring our safety, explained us very patiently. Serengeti allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in its vastness. Early mornings were magical-soft colors stretching across the sky, wildlife already active, and that peaceful silence broken only by natural sounds. We watched elephants, lions, and countless other animals in their natural routines, amazed at how untouched it all felt. Ngorongoro Crater added another layer of wonder. Standing on the rim and looking down into that enormous caldera was breathtaking. Finishing at Lake Manyara brought a refreshing shift in scenery. The lush forest, sparkling water, and abundant birdlife gave us a calm and scenic finale. Altogether, the tour balanced adventure and relaxation perfectly. This tour truly offered the best of northern Tanzania in just four days. The balance of adventure, scenery, and shared experiences made it a trip we'll cherish for a long time.

    Our 1st time 4 day safari experience in Tanzania. Our 4 day safari experience with Kibo Mawenzi Safaris, the tour through Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara felt like the perfect escape from routine.The Serengeti, though, was the heart of the adventure. There's nothing quite like waking up to the sound of distant hyenas or stepping out of your tent to see pink dawn stretching over endless plains. We spotted lions resting in tall grass, giraffes moving like quiet shadows, and a cheetah that left us speechless. Camping under the stars added a raw, intimate touch. Ngorongoro our 2nd destination, which felt like its own world- misty, calm, and filled with wildlife at every turn. Seeing rhinos so close and watching hippos laze in the water rounded out the experience beautifully. Our perfect ending at Lake Manyara. Watching monkeys leap through branches and elephants casually crossing the road set the tone for the trip. The tour Kibo team was well-organized, comfortable.

  • Our 4 days passed too quickly, but the memories will last a lifetime.

    Our 4 days of safari experience in Tanzania. Our safari beautifully organized by Kibo team. Asante Sana team Kibo Mawenzi Safaris. From the moment we entered the Serengeti, we could feel the pulse of the wild. Herds stretched endlessly across the horizon, and when we finally witnessed the river crossing, it was breathtaking - powerful, emotional, and unforgettable. We spent days exploring different parks, from the lush Ngorongoro Crater to the endless Serengeti plains. Stewart our exceptional guide, he was experienced, funny, and deeply caring about our safety and experience. The lodges and tented camps were far more comfortable than I expected, and the food was top-notch. I loved the early morning drives when the sun rose over the plains, painting everything in gold. This trip was more than a holiday-it was a reminder of the beauty and balance of nature.

  • 4 day camping trip – wild, dusty and peaceful

    we were 6 people in total doing 4 days camping safari around serengeti, ngorongoro and lake manyara. our guide was super friendly, told funny stories on the road and stopped anytime we wanted photos. every day was different – sunrise, animals, long drives, music in the car. camping was simple but real fun. nights were cold but sky full of stars, and sometimes we could hear animals in distance. one night we even heard hyenas near the camp 😅 we saw elephants, lions, giraffes, and one rhino from far. best part for me was sunset time in serengeti – everything just quiet, golden light, wind on face. food was good, nothing fancy but always warm and fresh. everyone helped each other like family. it didn’t feel like a tour, more like a small group of friends on an adventure. if you like real safari vibes, not luxury but heart, this trip is perfect. came back tired, dusty, and happy.

  • 4 day safari experience in Tanzania with Kibo Mawenzi Safaris was wonderful & we were very satisfied with them.

    Our 4 day journey in Tanzania was one of our favorite journey. We explored Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. For the first 2 days we explored Serengeti National Park, we watched in the Serengeti or the elephants wandering near our vehicle. Our stay was very romantic with luxurious camp, We were lucky to see the great migration of thousands of wildebeest and zebras sweep across the Serengeti plains was pure adrenaline. Then Ngorongoro Crater fascinated them- especially spotting rhinos through binoculars. The guides were patient and great informar. Lake Manyara was a delightful surprise. Manyara may be very peaceful and the charm is unforgettable.

    We had an unforgettable 4-day safari in Serengeti with Kibi, and we couldn’t have chosen a better company! From the very beginning, they were the most responsive agency we contacted—always quick to reply, super organized, and proactive in helping us not just with the safari, but even with other bookings afterward. A huge shoutout to our incredible guides, Mayunga and Joseph! Their talent for spotting wildlife was unbelievable—we managed to see the Big Five in just two days because they always spotted the animals before other cars (we were always the first ones there!). Their knowledge and passion made the experience even more special. The service was beyond expectations: we were picked up and dropped off seamlessly, given a free hotel night before and after the safari, and even received a surprise upgrade from a tent to a hotel for one night inside Serengeti. And the best part? All of this came at a price better than any other agency we checked! Highly recommend Kibo to anyone looking for a well-organized, hassle-free, and truly special safari experience.

    I had an absolutely wonderful day trip! My guide Joseph was charming, patient, jovial,professional, and very kind. He was very supportive and he used to carry all my stuffs, take great photos, and ensured I had the best and craziest experience ever. Because of him, I learned so much about Tanzanian traditional especially chaggah tribe throughout the day. The hike to the waterfalls was amazing and offered great views! At the coffee farm the experience was not only informative but also interactive and engaging! At chemka hot springs that is blue watered oasis in the savannah was incredible and amazing way to end the day.
