About Us
About Petit Massai Safaris
Petit Maasai Safaris is a Tanzanian-owned tour company based in the heart of Africa’s Safari Capital, Arusha. It was established by Bryson Daniel (the original Maasai), who was born and raised in Northern Tanzania.
Bryson grew up in a local, indigenous community in the heart of Tanzania’s bush that cultivated a deep appreciation for nature and wildlife. His dream is to share the beauty of Tanzania’s land and animals with visitors while protecting and conserving it for future generations.
Mission
To promote the beauty of Tanzania, share the unique cultures of Tanzania, especially Maasai, with international travelers, and create life-long memories for every client.
Vision
To uplift Maasai communities near national parks, including Serengeti and Ngorongoro through positive relationships, sustainable programs, and intentional tourism initiatives that make a positive, lasting impact
Core Values
Petit Maasai’s Core Values are Sustainability, Conservation, Culture and Community.
We don’t just design great safaris, we ensure that they support and educate about conservation efforts and sustainable travel because we care about this land. It is our home.
We encourage cultural appreciation on all of our tours: not just photo opportunities, but true human connection along with upholding diversity as part of the essence of ethical tourism.
Finally, we are passionate about uplifting local Maasai communities as a direct correlation to our tours. We focus on long-term projects with traditional Maasai families living in and around Serengeti and Ngorongoro areas because we understand the issues facing these communities. We are, and will always be, Maasai.

Our Travellers Reviews
Outstanding tour operator
I can't say enough good things about Bryson and Petit Maasai. Bryson handled our last-minute trip to Tanzania like he'd been working on it for months instead of a handful of days after we connected about a week before our family arrived.
Awsome
Exciting trip!!! Bryson made a private tour with masai mbome & we had a rest in mountains near Ngorongoro - everything was awsome!!! Morevover, all of our individual things we re made with great discount!Mike is great ranger too!
Kilimanjaro With Petit Maasai safaris- 5 stars!!!
We book 7 days Kilimanjaro with Petit Maasai safaris after having the safari with another company and we made it with a brilliant guide to the summit. We took the Lemosho route, starting in the rain forest and approached the camp via various tents campsites.
A great experience!
We did a safari in the northern parks of Tanzania with Petit Maasai Safaris and it was a great experience! The guide and the cook were really professional and nice with us, trying to make us feel comfortable and to satisfy our requests. Thanks a lot!
