 Verified Absolutely Amazing.
Did a 3 day safari with these guys and loved every minute. The organisation from the outset was impeccable (thanks Thompson), the hotels outstanding and the guide was fantastic. Very friendly, knew his stuff and eyes of a hawk to spot animals I missed with binoculars. Highly recommend these guys. They might be a smaller company but that just means the service is better!

 Verified Fantastic experience with Maramatta Safaris.
Fantastic experience with Maramatta Safaris. Our guide Blanca Shayo was absolutely brilliant and we were so privileged to have him drive us for the week. He was so friendly, knowledgeable and kind. We had the best time and it totally surpassed expectations. Would highly recommend this trip and company to everyone. Anyone would be very lucky to have Blanca Shayo drive them for the week and will make a good friend.

 Verified Booked a safari and came back with new friends......
Absolutely awesome. Blanca Shayo was such a good driver and patient guide for me and my family. He took care of everything from the booking, route, hotels, stops, gifts etc. He also has a lot of knowledge besides serengeti and gorongoro to see great spots in tansania. It is now three years ago since i made this trip. I am still in contact with the driver Blanca Shayo and i feel like we became friends for life. Never had such an amazing holiday!

 Verified Fantastic experience.
We traveled with Dotto luhende and his team to various locales in Tanzania with a party of 5 adults and 2 young children. His team was professional, courteous and kind. They absolutely know their stuff when it comes to wildlife and customer service. I wholeheartedly recommend his company and I look forward to using them again on our next trip.

 Verified Maramatta Safaris on the organisation of a great safari.
We highly appreciate the recommendations and the flexibility that offre Maramatta Safaris on the organisation of a great safari. They helped is to fix an unique programme for us that suits with our dates, budget and wishes. We had a tour with a very experienced guide that helped us to spot a very big number of animals on a short time. We're satisfied with the program that we had and also the accommodations during the safari.

 Verified Dotto luhende is a great safari guide!
Dotto luhende was the guide for our safari and did an great job showing us the natural beauty of Tanzania. He has an amazing way for spotting animals from far away (leopards, lions, cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, elephants, etc.) and I'd definitely work with him again!

 Verified 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.
