I was infatuated with it.
It was the most amazing experience I could have imagined when I went on a 6-day safari excursion with Maramatta Safaris in MAY 2024.It was really well thought out and put together. Our driver and guide made sure everything went as planned. They were both really competent and informed, not to mention incredibly nice, gregarious, talkative, and enjoyable. Additionally, we had a fantastic cook who managed the meals for the duration of the trip.We were meant to tent for a few nights because we went with the less expensive option, but Glory upgraded us for free and we stayed in gorgeous lodges instead. at addition, we stayed two nights at her comfortable guesthouse in Arusha, both before and after the trip. It was a fantastic value for the money all around.The professionalism and focus on the needs of the customer exhibited by the whole Maramatta Safaris team truly impressed me. They went above and above to ensure that we could unwind and savor the enchantment of the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire—their wildlife, scenery, and ambiance. I was infatuated with it.
