Great four day safari tour
5/5

We booked a four day (three night) safari (visiting four parks: Ngoro Ngoro, Serengeti, Tarangire, Lake Manyara). Everything was great and well organized. Special thank you to Ephata! For those who are thinking about this particular tour, our suggestion - book a 5 days tour so there will be two days and two nights in Serengeti and it will be even more amazing.

Ephata (and his son) were both very friendly and informative
5/5

Our safari tour was great! We did 4 parks over 4 days and saw tons of animals. Ephata and his son were our guides and gave us lots of information about the animals and parks. They also recommended some other destinations of interest along our routes where we stopped by, including a Maasai village and Safariland (souvenir store/art exhibit).

Fantastic with organization, communication, advice, reliability and overall quality of the trip
5/5

We were referred to Heart of Africa by a friend who had traveled with them and we could not have been happier with them. We did a custom tour with our 2 teenage children. They worked with us before our trip to discuss our needs and preferences and then put together an itinerary for us which exactly met what we wanted to do - a mix of safari activities and human interactions. Every day was special. We spent time in the local communities around Arusha and also had the opportunity to spend time at a school and with a hunter gatherer tribe.
The safaris were fantastic and the staff were all extremely professional and helpful - our guide, Ephata, was amazing at spotting wildlife and always took great care of us. We saw so much wildlife. The accommodations were all great. We ended the trip staying at a beautiful beach front hotel in Zanzibar.
My husband and I have traveled all around the world and we both said this was one of the best trips we have ever taken. We have been back home now for several weeks and I still think about the trip every day.
I would highly recommend Heart of Africa and we hope to return one day.

Excellent service & unforgettable experience
5/5

Unforgettable Safari Experience – Absolutely Amazing!
Our safari week in Tanzania was an experience of a lifetime! Every detail was perfectly arranged, from the warm welcome to the well-planned itinerary that allowed us to see the best of Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The lodges and camps were stunning, with warm hospitality, delicious meals and breathtaking views. Many thanks to Leanne🫶for the flawless organization, excellent service and for all valuable tips and suggestions that made our adventure in Tanzania so unique - we couldn‘t have asked for more!

The true highlight of our trip was our guide and ranger Ephata. His deep knowledge of wildlife, Tanzanian culture, warm personality and sharp eyes made every game drive truly unforgettable. Thanks to him, we spotted the Big 5 and every day brought something new and exciting. He always made sure we were comfortable, safe and having fun. We are so greatful to him for all these memories we‘ll treasure forever. It was already our second Safari with Ephata - and we’re looking forward to the next one!

I can highly recommend Heart of Agrica to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable adventure in Africa.
Thank you Ephata, Leanne & the entire Team of Heart of Africa Lodge for the excellent service and unforgettable experience! Tanzania‘s wildlife, people and landscapes will stay in our hearts forever.

Amazing 8-Day Safari, Every Day Full of Wildlife & Surprises!
5/5

We joined an 8-day safari with our guide, Godfrey, and it exceeded all expectations. Every single day, we saw so many animals, Godfrey was incredibly experienced; the moment he heard something over the radio, he would immediately take us there, and every chase led to another surprise. It felt like being part of a real-life wildlife documentary.

The accommodations arranged were also very comfortable and well-chosen — great views, cozy rooms, and friendly staff everywhere we stayed. We felt safe, well taken care of, and completely immersed in the beauty of Tanzania.

Highly recommend this team, and definitely ask for Godfrey — he made our safari unforgettable!

We joined the safari tour organized by Heart of Africa, and every part of the journey was perfectly arranged. All the staff members were incredibly friendly — thank you to everyone who hosted us (Samson, Erick, and all the other staff members at the lodges).

Our guide, Godfrey, was very experienced and fun. He led us to spot the Big Five, making this trip an unforgettable experience.

Fantastic experience! Everyone we met was helpful, friendly, and reliable. The tour itself was better than we imagined! We saw all the animals we wanted to see even after picking a shorter safari. The lodge we stayed in was very nice with great service. Would definitely go back and do a longer safari!

Amazing service! We stayed in a great lodge with buffet style food and extremely welcoming staff. Our guide was wonderful and we saw 4 out of the big 5 along with many other animals. He personalized the tour to us and was very flexible. I would definitely want to go back!

5/5

An Unforgettable Adventure in Tanzania Thank You, Driver Ephata!

My younger brother and I recently traveled to Tanzania, and it was truly one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. We stayed at Heart of Africa Lodge with Action Team Africa, and everything from the hospitality to the adventure was absolutely perfect.

The cultural experience with the Maasai people was incredible. We learned so much about their way of life, traditions, and values. During the safari, we were lucky to see the Big Five! My younger brother was especially thrilled to see elephants in the wild it was a moment of pure joy for both of us.

We want to give a special thank you to our driver, Ephata, who made this journey even more amazing. He was not only professional and kind, but also incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife from great distances. His knowledge, patience, and passion for nature made the safari unforgettable. At first, I thought I could manage the driving myself, but after seeing Ephata in action, I realized we were in the best hands possible.

The food at the lodge was delicious, and the entire staff made us feel right at home. We are deeply grateful to Out of Africa Classified for organizing this life-changing trip. we had a great time at the swimming pool and the gazebo’s with a beautiful yard garden.

Thank you again, especially to Ephata, for making our dream of experiencing the heart of Africa come true!
