Posted on Anne LLVerified Expérience inoubliable, émouvante et magique Expérience magique grâce à cette petite entreprise familiale qui a été aux petits soins pour nous pendant ces 4 jours de safaris dans le Tarangire le Ngorongoro et le Serengeti.Loth et Collin sont compétents, drôles et attentifs à nos souhaits. Leurs conseils lors des préparatifs nous ont permis de faire les bons choix et d'optimiser notre temps. Nous ressortons ravis et des étoiles pleins les yeux de cette expérience hors du commum. Encore un immense merci à eux!Posted on Sandrina SVerified Stunning We were expected and welcomed as friends! An exceptional journey full of bounce. Bryson is a fantastic driver and our guide always full of explanation regarding animals. The lodge and staff were also great. This stay will be remembered forever. Cheers Sana, Hakuna Matata!Posted on Pauline TVerified 4 days safari 4 days of absolutely magical safari in Tanzania!Every day was different, with incredibly varied landscapes, making the experience even more exceptional.Perfect organization from start to finish, total immersion in the savannah and in the lodges with good meals, warm welcome, and even an alarm clock facing giraffes in front of our lodge 🦒😍We saw a lot of animals, including the Big Five, thanks to two lovely, passionate and always attentive guides. Asanté sana Loth and Collin and..Hakuna matata A dream come true! We recommend this company with your eyes closed ⭐⭐⭐⭐Posted on Lacey WVerified Safari of my dreams!!! I did a 4-day safari with Ilmaasai and it exceeded all expectations. Colin’s quick and professional communication (plus their incredible social media) made me confident Ilmaasai was the right choice for my Safari. Loth & Christian were the best guides. I felt safe & comfortable throughout the trip. Loth made sure we saw the BIG 5 & as many animals as possible. I highly recommend them - if you are going on safari in Tanzania, Ilmaasai is the best!Posted on FarAway06688725605Verified The Best Experience of My Life! Tour date: September 25–27, 2025Departure: Kilimanjaro International AirportFinish: Arusha CityPrice: 2200 USD per person (3 days)We found ILMAASAI EXPEDITION through one of the very few Japanese guidebooks that cover Tanzanian safaris, and it was the only company mentioned there.Before the tour even started, Collin was incredibly helpful and responsive in all of our communications. Because of our flight connections from Japan, it was essential for us to be picked up at Kilimanjaro International Airport. While every other tour company only offered pick-ups in Arusha, ILMAASAI EXPEDITION was the only one that happily accepted our request. On the day of our arrival, Catherine and Collin kindly came all the way to the airport to greet us, which immediately put us at ease.Our 3-day itinerary was fantastic.・Day 1: We headed from the airport toward Serengeti National Park while enjoying wildlife sightings along the way.・Day 2: We spent the entire day exploring Serengeti.・Day 3: We left Serengeti, did a game drive in Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and arrived in Arusha at night.Originally, we wanted to stay in mid-range lodges, but to reduce costs we chose the camping option recommended by the company. Our base was Nyani Campsite. We were informed that hot showers might not always be available, and during our stay we only had cold water with low pressure. It was cold, but if you take your time, you can still manage to shower. Also, we believe that campers are not necessarily assigned to this campsite every time.We were accompanied by our experienced driver Loth, our guide Christian, and our chef Philip. They made sure we had comfortable drives and many opportunities to see wildlife. The meals Philip prepared were simple and flavorful—very easy for us Japanese travelers to enjoy. We’d love to eat his cooking again!Their guiding was clear, informative, and thanks to them we witnessed many rare scenes. We saw 4 of the Big 5—only the rhino was missing this time, so that’s a good reason to return someday!We especially enjoyed talking with Christian. He was genuinely interested in Japanese culture, and through our conversations we learned a lot about African culture too. Those moments were truly memorable.Traveling from Japan to Tanzania is quite a long journey, and since there aren’t many Japanese tourists, it was hard to find reliable information beforehand. But thanks to the support of Collin, Catherine, and the entire team, we were able to enjoy our 3-day safari without any worries.We truly hope we can meet them all again someday!Posted on Arif RVerified Amazing experience with Collins! We went to Tanzania for our honeymoon for a safari tour. Collins was our tour guide. He was an amazing guide, was such an amazing person to be with and made us feel like at home. We saw the big five animals. We also, got a chance to see cheetahs hunt. We got some really amazing photos with our camera. I would highly recommend doing the tour with Collins! He showed us great hospitality and made the safari trip fun. We started as not knowing each other to becoming friends!Posted on Ksenia ShrayVerified The best safari experience Our three-day safari felt like living inside a story we never wanted to end. And a huge part of that magic came from the people who shared this journey with us.Loth, our driver, impressed us from the very beginning. His experience is unbelievable — he always found the perfect spots, always knew where to be at the right moment, and thanks to him we didn’t miss even the rarest animals. Every photo, every video, every breathtaking moment was possible because he truly knows this land like no one else.We also were very fortunate to meet the best guide in the world - Christian. We talked endlessly, laughed constantly, and he made every moment feel warm and fun. He guided us everywhere we wanted to go, always with patience and kindness, always making sure we understood everything and felt comfortable. And on top of all that, he is an amazing photographer!! He took some of the best pictures of us we’ve ever had, moments we’ll keep forever.❤️By the end of these days, they didn’t feel like guides anymore - they felt like family. 🥹🫂 This experience was beautiful, emotional and unforgettable. We will be missing you a lot! Choosing them is honestly the best decision anyone can make. We recommend them from the deepest part of our hearts!!!💕Posted on Morad AVerified Safari 3 days Serengeti/Ngorongoro Great experience The guide was very professional, attentive. His experience allowed us to see all the animals of the savannah.Everything was under control with the guide and the administrative team.I highly recommend this local agency.Posted on katherinepcoxVerified BEST SAFARI EVER! We had a great time with this locally owned company! Everything was perfect!!!! We saw tons of animals, we felt safe the entire time, and these people are our family now! Miss the family already & we haven’t even left yet! Highly recommend!Posted on Karla NVerified Magical safari experience! An absolutely magical experience from start to finish! A huge thank you to Collin, Bryson, and Philip for their professionalism, kindness, and passion.Collin perfectly organized our safari and was always available and attentive.
