Quite a journey! We carried out a 10-day tour through the parks (serengeti, ngorongoro, tarangire...). Needless to confirm the beauty of those places. As Guide we had Masha who turned out to be a pleasant and smart person in solving the technical problems encountered. It was a challenging trip, as the parks are only accessible by 4WD, but for lovers of wildlife and landscapes it is a real paradise.

Straight to the heart of Africa Our Guide Masha and the drivers of the two jeeps in our small group were the perfect way to get in touch with this part of Africa and gave us an experience that will remain unforgettable. Their love for Tanzania and their work is such as to transmit it also to us who came home excited and with all the amazement and wonder for everything we saw and learned thanks to this tour. They taught us to be patient, not to take anything for granted and every sighting was told, explained and placed in the wider context of the parks we visited. Beautiful moments of contact with the local culture, especially the visit to the Maasai village and having as guides to Lake Natron some Maasai. Thanks to Masha and Branded Africa Safaris that made our trip unique. They will remain forever in our hearts!

Thank you for this amazing Safari! Our Safari adventure was amazing! We had a great tour: we started from Ngorongoro crater, we moved then to the center of Serengeti and travelled north to see the great migration of gnus. After that we visited the lake Natron and the amazing waterfalls near it. As I said it was a great tour per se, but it wouldn’t be that amazing without the best guide we could ask for. Deo drove us everywhere and took care of us like a friend from the first moment on. He knew all the best places to find animals and we managed to see all the big five!!! He kept saying we were lucky to see all these beautiful animals… I think we were lucky to have him as a guide! He knows everything about animals, plants, landscapes and the culture of tribes living in those areas, like Maasai. We learned a lot also about his way of life and his hometown. His attention by driving is also not to be taken for granted. He has experience on the difficult streets that you may encounter during this kind of trips. If we had any doubts or questions, the manager of the agency was also available for us. I forgot to mention that we were on our honeymoon and the manager even organized a cake for us! So in the end we could just say that Branded Africa Safari is a great agency to plan your Safari with. We felt safe and in good hands always! Elisabetta & Benedikt

Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro I met masha in 2019 when we were planning our Tanzania safari for 2020. He impressed me for his kindness and availability so among the various Safari companies, we had chosen to rely on him. Unfortunately covid ruined our plans, but Masha told us not to worry and that she would always keep our deposit valid. And so it was! After 5 years, we managed to do our Safari. It was a crazy experience, masha helped us to create a not too heavy itinerary because they were also traveling with a 2 year old girl. The choice of tented camps made our Safari even more unforgettable. We went home with the desire to organize another Safari, obviously always leaning on him!

Best Safari Experience Possible! Best choice if you are looking for a safari trip in Tanzania! Our guide, Deo, was amazing! He drove us around Serengeti Park and the Ngorongoro Crater with great experience, showing us all possible animals and view points! You surely need some luck to spot all the "big five" and many more as we did, but an experienced guide is definitely a great starting point. The lodges and tents we slept in were great and welcomed us with all services. 100% recommended!!!
