An amazing experience ! that we will never forget. The guide Fidelis is excellent and funny, speaks fluent English, explains everything in detail, brings us to the best places and knows where to go to see the craziest animals. We were with other very nice tourists, so the experience was even better. The place provides accommodation. All the other staff are nice and always looking to help. What I would improve is the whole point of the pick-up and return to the hotel. This should be included in the price without any problems. We had to arrive independently because they asked us for an extra fee to get to the location in the center and it was a 6-minute drive, and on the way back, the hotel was in the city, just far from the center, so we had to get organized. In any case, I still recommend them, a good company. ;)

Humphrey the BEST guide
An absolutely incredible safari! It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish, and our guide was truly outstanding. They were incredibly patient with us and so friendly and approachable, making us feel comfortable and welcome throughout the adventure. Their enthusiasm and dedication made the whole experience even more special. This was one of the highlights of my trip, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide to share it with. Thank you for such wonderful memories—I would highly recommend this safari to anyone!

Safari with Humphrey
We just came back from a 4 day safari trip in a group guided by Humphrey. One of the best experiences I have ever done.
We were very lucky with all the animals we got to see but also with the guide we had, Humphrey. He made the experience 10/10. Thank you so much for your positive energy, patience and infinite knowledge on the culture, wildlife so rounding us.
You are the best!!!

A very well organised safari.
Everything about the safari trip was great!
All the Lodges were really good. I saw so many animals close up and personal, even the Big 5! And Humphrey, our driver and guide was brilliant!! So knowledgeable, helpful, patient, fun to be with and an all round good guy, he is an asset to the company.

Mike is the best guide
The guide we had, Mike, was excellent, and I would highly recommend him. He puts a great deal of effort into finding animals and actively engaging clients throughout the safari. His dedication and enthusiasm made the experience particularly enjoyable.
The only point I would raise regarding the agency is that they accommodate clients staying at different lodges in the same vehicle. In the morning, the guide has to pick up clients from several different locations, which delays the start of the safari. I believe it would be much more efficient if all clients sharing the same vehicle were staying at the same lodge or camp.
In any case, I would like to emphasise that Mike is an excellent guide, and he made the overall experience perfect.

Humphrey is the best Guide !
We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Humphrey! He is a very kind, warm-hearted, and friendly person. He knows the entire area extremely well and shared a lot of interesting information with us. He is also a very skilled and safe safari driver, which made us feel comfortable throughout the whole experience. We really enjoyed our time with him and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and friendly guide!

DO NOT SIT FRONT ROW WITH THIS MAN.🤨😎😏😜
I recently survived a 6-day safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Manyara, and the Serengeti. I say "survived" because I made the fatal mistake of taking the front passenger seat next to our guide, Humphrey.
Humphrey’s primary weapon is a dry, razor-sharp sarcasm that could wilt a baobab tree. If you enjoy being ruthlessly roasted at 5:00 AM while looking for lions, he’s your guy.
Here are a few reasons you should avoid him at all costs:
- He ruins the surprise of everything. Want to spend two hours searching for wildlife? Forget it. The man is an insufferable human radar. He’ll casually point toward an empty patch of grass two miles away and say, "Oh look, a waterbuck," where the rest of us normal humans just see dirt. It’s completely unfair to the antelope trying to hide.
- He claims to love animals, but I suspect he knows them personally. The sheer volume of wildlife facts he spews makes me think he’s in a secret group chat with the Big Five.
- His driving is a subtle form of torture. He calls the bone rattling dirt roads an "African Massage." I call it a full-body chiropractor adjustment delivered via Toyota Land Cruiser. The worst part? His driving is so smooth and competent that you can't even complain properly, you just have to sit there and take the therapy.
- He made me feel included. As a solo traveler, I was fully prepared to sit quietly in the back and be awkward. Humphrey immediately ruined that by making me feel like part of the crew, forcing me to actually laugh and have fun for six days straight. Exhausting.
The only saving grace of the entire ordeal was our chef, Thadues. While Humphrey was busy destroying my self-esteem with his wit, Thadues was quietly keeping us alive with incredible food, going out of his way to cater to dietary restrictions, including actually delicious gluten-free meals.
If you want a boring, quiet driver who can't spot a leopard if it jumped on the hood, do NOT book Humphrey. But if you want a master spotter who will keep you laughing and safe the entire trip... fine, ride shotgun. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
Humphrey is the best tour guide ever! - Amazing safari experience!
It was an amazing safari! We saw all big five several times and the animals were super close like a few meters. We made awesome pictures and learned a lot about the environment, the animals, plants, culture and much more. We even saw two hunting scenes. Especially our tour guide Humphrey deserves 10 out of 5 stars! He has a huge knowledge, can answer every question, takes care of all travellers, he’s a safe driver and very professional as polite as funny. We enjoyed our 5 days trip with him a lot. Thanks for that great experience! Asante sana.

Amazing safari with Humphrey—knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and a fantastic guide!
We did a 4-day safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Overall, the experience was great. Not only did we see the Big Five and lots of other animals, but our driver, Humphrey, was also very insightful, well-spoken, friendly, and funny. He shared a lot of details about the animals with us and was very open to answering any questions we had. We enjoyed the trip a lot and would definitely recommend it.

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful 3 day safari, seing animals up close and all the big five. We highly recommend this safari. Thanks to the guide Hamphrey and the cook, who were very attentive, professional and friendly throughout our stay.
