Amazing trip and he’s the best
Elvis is super responsive typically replying in minutes. He was flexible when we wanted to change hotels and the order of the trip. Also when we added additional people to the trip late he had no issue and was flexible and found us amazing hotels to stay in that had availability. Our driver was amazing also. We had an issue at one hotel and he was quick to fix the issue. Calling them and in less than 10 minutes from our original message the staff came over to us asking when they can come by to change our rooms. Our driver Moses was the best also. Super knowledgeable and great at spotting animals!

Perfect
We compared several operators for a short fly-in/fly-out private safari in Nyerere and shortlisted two. What made the difference for Lekobe was the quality of the exchanges before booking: Mathayo answered every question precisely and quickly, without ever pushing us or dodging the details on prices, timings and what was actually included. The other operator we were considering was vaguer and slower. That first impression turned out to be a reliable predictor of how the whole trip was run.
Everything was handled exactly as agreed. Deposit, flights, transfers, lodge, no surprises, no last-minute changes, no hidden costs. We stayed at Selous Safari Lodge and did a game drive, a boat safari on the Rufiji, visit of a Masai village, and a walking safari : three completely different expériences.
The game drive was amazing… The wildlife exceeded our expectations, we saw lions and lionesses, a cheetah, zebras, giraffes, hippos, buffalo, and elephants in large numbers and far more than we had hoped for in such a short stay. Our guide (named « J » francophone guide) was knowledgeable, patient and genuinely good at reading animal behaviour.
Highly recommended, especially for French-speaking travellers.
One word about the Maasai village visit: we were sceptical beforehand, as this kind of stop is often staged for tourists. The visit felt real, an ordinary village going about its day, honest conversations, no scripted show and no sales pressure. They explained that the community now partly lives off these visits, and genuinely needs the income: schooling is compulsory for the children and the associated costs are heavy for families. Knowing that changed the way we saw the visit. It ended up being one of the highlights of the trip, and we would have regretted skipping it.

An absolutely unforgettable safari experience!!!
We had an absolutely amazing experience with this safari company from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized, punctual, professional and handled with great care.
Our driver Shija and the guide David were truly exceptional — not only were they incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, but they were also wonderful people. They were kind, friendly, patient and always willing to answer every single question we had. They went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience.
They did everything they could to help us find and see as many animals as possible in the park. Their knowledge, experience and dedication made such a huge difference, and thanks to them we were able to see so many incredible animals and enjoy every moment of our safari.
Everything was exactly on time, from the arrangements to the transfers, and the whole experience was incredibly smooth and well organized.
We honestly could not have asked for a better safari. David and Shija were absolutely fantastic, both professionally and personally, and we are truly grateful for everything they did for us.
We highly recommend this safari company to anyone visiting Tanzania and Laiser the tour operator. If you want a professional, well-organized and truly unforgettable safari experience, look no further! 🐘🦒🦁❤️
Thank you so much for making our safari such a special and unforgettable memory!

Amazing!
We had an amazing safari experience! Everything was very well organized from start to finish and the communication was great. We always received quick responses to our questions, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. The driver was great and our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. She told us a lot about the animals and the park, which made the experience even more interesting. We were also incredibly lucky and saw so many animals during the safari! We had such a wonderful day and would definitely recommend this safari. An unforgettable experience!

Provider of a wonderful and unforgettable experience
Good value for money, allowing for a great experience that fulfilled the dream of a life time. Communication during the booking of the reservation was efficient and Laizer was very helpful during all the process. The tour itself was great, allowing to see most of the big mammals and also catering to our particular interests in birds, thanks to the special efforts of our guide Evans (Bob).

Laizer did a great job organizing everything
A high-quality safari!
The tour operator handles all the arrangements; all we had to do was let them guide us from the plane to the jeep.
We were able to easily see the Big Five animals several times throughout the day.
Lunch was also excellent, and the guide provided interesting information about the different animals.
We even spotted a leopard for several minutes, a magical moment!
Thanks to Laizer for the organisation.

overall we had a really great experience - but the 1 day full on Safari was pretty exhausting
The communication via e-mail beforehand with Jessica from Lekobe Adventures Safaris was really good, we had all the informations we needed and she was always friendly.
The communication in Zanzibar with the people who coordinated our flight and the payment was not 100% smooth, e.g. at first we were told the flight is at 4pm but then it was at 3pm but apparently that's quite normal that the flight times to the mainland change on short notice (Jessica had told me this in advance). And although it said on the booking description that on the first day a lunch would be included we didn't get any, that was a little frustrating because we were quite hungry. And then in the evening the dinner was very late but we had to go to the night game drive so we couldn't enjoy the really good food (!) as we would've and even couldn't finish the dinner.
But these things were basically the only things that were not good.
The flight to Tanzania was short and all good - we even had the possibility to have a look into the cockpit and take photos!
At the Nyerere "airport" our guide was already awaiting us and we were excited to find out that we were the only two in the jeep (although I had booked a shared safari and there would've been space for up to 6 people). Our guide Tiko was super friendly and giving his best to give us the best Safari experience and see as many animals as possible in the short time (3h night game drive + from 7am-3pm the next day with a lunch break) and take great photos & videos - a camera with a good zoom really pays off here!
Sadly we couldn't find any lions the whole day (but neither did any of the other Safari tour jeeps that we met) but we saw (baby) elephants really close which isn't guaranteed either and we just enjoyed being in the Tanzanian bush - the vastness and variety of the landscape is amazing!
In the afternoon we had a boat trip and although we were already pretty exhausted from the 7-8h safari in the jeep before, we enjoyed it a lot. We saw lots of crocodiles, birds & hippos and could enjoy the beauty of God's creation before we had to go back to civilisation in the evening. Although we were so tired, our flight back to ZNZ was early in the morning the next day. So, all in all, it was only a one day Safari + the 3h night game drive.
As said, overall we had a really great experience but it was also pretty exhausting. Next time, I would like to do a longer Safari with less programm in one day, and I could imagine booking with Lekobe Adventures Safaris again. :)
And not to forget: our stay at Mufasa tented camp was amazing! The staff were very friendly, the food was excelent and we felt safe the whole time.

An Unforgettable Family Safari with Lekobe Adventures
We had an amazing safari experience with Lekobe Adventures & Safaris and created unforgettable memories as a family.
From the very beginning, the communication was excellent. Jessica was incredibly helpful and always available to answer all our questions and concerns, which gave us great confidence and made us feel well taken care of throughout the organisation.
Everything was very well organised and went perfectly as described in the offer.
Our guide, Wines, was also fantastic — very kind, patient and attentive, especially with our children. He really contributed to making the experience so enjoyable for the whole family.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. We are extremely happy with Lekobe Adventures & Safaris and would absolutely recommend them for an unforgettable safari in Tanzania.

Very professional, everything was perfect !
It was an incredible experience !! Judith and James are so nice and really good guide ! They know everything on the wild life. They take care about us and make our couple’s anniversary a special day. We will remember this day all our life. The diversity of animals is amazing in a beautiful place. Even if the weather was not really sunny, it doesn’t change everything about the beauty of the place. We want also to thanks Mathayo for the organization, all was perfectly planed. Thank you for this beautiful experience. We will come back !

Experienced
My guide was fantastic — experienced, punctual, and always in touch with the other guides so we never missed anything. The wildebeest river crossing was the standout moment, pure chaos and adrenaline in the best way.
Camping in the Serengeti was something else too. No barriers between us and the wildlife, so you could really feel the animals were right there at night. And the stars — no light pollution at all, just an insane number of them.
Every stop had its own personality. Masai Mara for the sheer density of animals, Serengeti for that endless horizon and migration energy, Ngorongoro Crater like its own little world packed with wildlife, Tarangire for the baobabs and elephant herds. Honestly one of the best trips I've done.
