Absolutely Amazing Expereince
We came from Japan and went on an amazing Tanzania safari with Wild Secrets Safari. The amazing experience in Africa bowled us beyond our wildest imaginations of what the Tanzania government and people have done to maintain the pristine ecosystems in Tanzania's Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks for posterity.
Our tour was amazing, we had luxurious accommodations, amazing guides who took my family on the wild adventurous game dries where we had close encounters with wild animals in their natural habitats. We also had several experiences with the Maasai and Hadzabe tribes which was amazing!
Some of the experiences I will never forget are; a cheetah climbed on our Landcruiser and staying on the bonnet for more than 10 minutes!!! Or the lions in Ngorongoro pitching tent under our vehicle. Absolutely amazing!!!
I loved Tanzania because it is the best place place we have visited.
Will definitely return!!!

Amazing, Wonderful, Mesmerizing and Awe-inspiring Experiences
My wife and I had the most Amazing, Wonderful, Mesmerizing and Awe-inspiring Experiences with Wild Secrets Safaris. We did the Classic Tanzania Tour with guide Mussa. He was wonderful, very knowledgeable and fun to be with. We were able to see so many different animal and bird species. We saw all the big 5!
The vehicle was fitted with comfortable safari seats, charging points for cameras and phones, fridge and radio call that Mussa used to communicate with other guides for updates on the location of wild game.
We stayed in nice comfy hotels that provide great service. Mussa was very punctual and kept the vehicle clean everyday.
We surely enjoyed ourselves during the safari and thanks to Mussa!

Thanyou Rashid for the Unforgettable Memories
Wild Secret Safaris is a reliable Tanzanian tour operator. They arranged our Safari in Northern Tanzania to Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park before flying to Bazaruto Archipelago in Mozambique for our beach holiday.
Mussa our guide was very knowledgeable and kind too. We started our trip Ngorongoro Crater where we enjoyed a whole day viewing the animals.The following day we had a morning walking safari with an armed guide before Mussa drove us to Serengeti where we spent a5 days. We went to the best viewing spots in Serengeti as we followed the great wildebeest migration. We also saw other animals including lions, elephants, kudu, zebras, girrafes, hyenas, hippos, crocodiles, buffaloes, cheetahs, eagles, ducks and others.
We were sad to say goodbye to Mussa at Kogatende airstrip for the wonderful service and company during our trip.
I recommend Wild Secret Safaris, Mussa and Rashid.

An eventful and beautiful safari - Asante sana!
We were invited by Tanzanians for a private visit. Together with Rashid they put together a safari, which became unforgettable for us. She was very well organized. The safari, accommodation and food exceeded our expectations.
Our safari took us to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. We visited the Maasai in their boma and learned a lot about their way of life.
The camp in the Serengeti was for us just right and the most beautiful. So we had the experience, at night buffalo and hyenas directly in front of our bungalow to see and hear.
Nathan is an excellent driver whom we have always trusted. The punctuality of Nathan and our good German-speaking interpreter Moses is to be emphasized. As a result, we were able to observe animals in the morning, which later settle down and are then difficult to observe. Both are very competent, farsighted and considerate. We admire Nathan's driving skills and ability with eagle-eyes while driving to spot and identify animals that are very hidden or very far away. With much patience was waited, if we wanted to observe the often very hidden animals or not immediately located. Both have a great deal of knowledge and told us a lot about the animals, as well as about the land and people. Both are great people. We got along very well and it was as warm as a family outing. Their happiness and passion wholeheartedly is contagious and always will be remembered.
Our hearts are very fortunate that we performed the Safari with Wild Secret Safaris.
We will definitely come back and do another safari with Wild Life Safaris.
Asante sana

Excellent Safari operator full stop. Even better that they specialize in Halal Safaris
We had a trip of a lifetime experience with Wild Secret Safaris.
We spent five full days in both the Tarangire and Serengeti national parks as well as the Ngorongoro Conservation area getting up close to countless numbers of elephants, lions, giraffes, buffaloes as well as two leopards and one elusive rhinoceros that we were able to find in the end. Our nine-year-old daughter was thrilled to see all the "big five."
A lot of the credit goes to our excellent guide Mr. Nathan who ensured that all our needs were met and never made us feel rushed. We also appreciated his deep knowledge of flora and fauna as well as his evident respect for the environment and the welfare of the Maasai tribes and all the creatures that lived in the National parks.
All itinerary arrangements were exceptionally coordinated by Mr. Musa and Mr. Rashid who met us in Arusha at the beginning of our trip and sent us off to our lodge near the Kilimanjaro airport at the end.
We stayed in more "luxury" style accommodations that were fantastic and fully met our requirements for Halal meals throughout. Even so, Wild Secret provided us with better prices and value for money than other Safari operators who were providing lower range accommodations in their quotes.
We are happy to recommend Wild Secret Safaris to everyone, but especially to those who are looking for Halal options.

Wonderful 7 days safari with my family
My daughter in her teens, mother in her 70s and I in my 40s had an incredible time with this company during our 7 days safari with Wild Secrets Safaris. Everything was great from the smooth and flexible booking process that took into consideration all the place that we wanted to visit which Rashid organized into a nice sequential itinerary.
I cannot equate our experience in the parks to anything with Mussa as our guide. He managed the whole trip extremely well giving, with his amazing guiding skills and of tracking animals and the importance of being patient and quiet so as to soak in the whole experience and not spook the animals.
He was wonderful company too with numerous narrations about everything Tanzania. Another nice thing that I liked was getting hot meals for lunch unlike the other companies I saw where they ate out of boxes.
Our accommodation was splendid to say the least and served halal dishes!!!
I loved the whole experience and would recommend Wild Secrets Safaris to anyone intending to travel with young children because they hav the most wonderful guides and comfortable vehicles!

Just Like Our Second Honeymoon
Wild Secrets Safaris provides top notch services for trips. Their amazing reviews on TripAdvisor pulled us in and then we were hooked by the prompt and professional responses to our queries by Rashid. After I chose the kind of safari package that we we wanted for our 5th Anniversary, Rashid jumped right into action and took care of all the details. Rashid’s attention to details awed me. When we arrived in Tanzania, there was an amazing suite waiting for us. There was romantic lighting, flower petals on the bed, roses in a vase on the bedside table, a flute of non-alcoholic champagne on ice, and chocolates. We were so happy with the little details which made our anniversary memorable. It felt like we were back on our honeymoon. We were very excited to do the next activity that Rashid planned for us.
On the morning of our safari, Mussa, our guide, was there at the hotel doors ten minutes ahead of time waiting for us. He was so friendly with us that we immediately felt at ease with him. He was an excellent guide who spoke fluent English. Mussa loves nature and it just showed from the way he was talking about the animals and the birds we saw. He was very informative and educative. He also had a very keen eye, spotting animals that we couldn’t see with the first glance. He spotted a lioness that was hunting for prey. We saw so many different animals during our 6 day safari and had such a wonderful time in the accommodations that Rashid had booked for us. On each day of our trip, Mussa picked us up in a clean sparkling car.
Wild Secrets Safaris provides only the best for their clients. We couldn’t be happier with the wonderful experience that Rashid and Mussa of Wild Secrets Safaris provided for us. I recommend Wild Secrets Safaris as you will not regret it.

Amazing SafariAdventure in Tanzania
I went with my family on a 7 day safari to Tanzania with Wild Secret Safaris. Out trip took us to Serengeti, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and Ngorongoro Crater. I visited their website and I had an easy time navigating. I was directed to contact Rashid and he was easy to work with. This was the first time that we were going on safari and I didn’t know a single thing about safaris. Rashid gave me extensive information on Tanzania and its sites and helped me select the parks we would go to and created an itinerary for us. He also answered all my questions with a lot of patience.
Mussa, our guide and driver picked us up at the airport the moment we landed in KIA. He was very friendly and amazing with the kids. He welcomed us happily and gave us cold drinks and snacks that were in the car. He told us a little about himself and I was impressed at his excellent English, personable demeanor, and experience. He told us what to expect and my kids were so excited to see the animals that they couldn’t sleep. During the actual safari Mussa showed us every animal there was to see. He could spot the smallest animal from a long distance. I was awed by his skill. He showed us 2 leopards, cheetahs, lions, a lioness hunting, elephants at a watering hole, ostriches, zebras, giraffes, rhinos, buffaloes, and many more animals. He also told us a lot about the animals we saw.
The lodges we stayed were luxurious with tents that were very nice and comfortable to sleep in. They had everything we needed. The meals we had were delicious. They even provided gluten free options for us and I was amazed.
Our first safari was amazing, thanks to Mussa and the Wild Secret Safaris team

6 Days Northern Tanzania family Safari
Our family of 4 went on the 6 day Northern Tanzania Safari with Wild Secret Safaris to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti.
Our guide and driver was Mussa. was very experienced and had vast knowledge on all the animals we saw. He was also very good at spotting the animals and had the sense to know where they would be. We saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, hyenas, vultures, buffaloes, and 2 leopards in 2 different spots, however the highlight was the wildebeest migration. By the end of the 6 days, Mussa had become like part of our family.
I highly recommend Wild Secret Safaris.

A near perfect experience!
I stumbled across this tour provider through a google search and was intrigued by their halal safari offering, as we were a family of four travelling with 2 kids. From the outset, the tour administrator (Rashid) was very professional and answered all our queries. Certain accommodation that we requested was sold out but Rashid made suitable alternate arrangements.
When we arrived in Kilimanjaro, Mussa our Tour guide and driver, was there to greet us as arranged, early in the morning at 5am. From there on, it was a near perfect experience. Mussa made sure all our requirements were taken care of, from personally handling all our luggage, making sure all our accommodation was ready for us, dropping us off at the end of each day and being there ready and waiting for us in the morning.
The safari experience was excellent and we covered three main attractions over three days - Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. We saw quite a few animals at Tarangire including lions, zebras and elephant but Lake Manyara was a bit disappointing since barely any animals were out that day - I think the trick is to be there at around 630 am or just after sunrise so find a lodge as close to each reserve (or within the reserve) to minimise travel time.
Saying that, the accommodation that was arranged for us was excellent. Osupuko Lodge being a sublime and beautiful lodge with warm and welcoming staff in the middle of the wilderness. We were escorted to and from our rooms by the Masai after dark which was an experience in itself. Our room's patio was overlooking the wilderness where we could see animals crossing while having breakfast outside.
The other two lodges (Farm of Dreams and the Airport Planet Lodge) were excellent as well. The quality of food was good throughout where we got to sample local cuisine (halal beef and chicken).
We seemed to be the only group on the safari that had hot packed lunches. Mussa laid out a neat and beautiful picnic table each day, with cutlery, at the designated picnic spots in the park. We had chicken curry, fresh cut fruits, steamed veggies, rice, noodles, pasta, fries, beef curry over the duration of our three-day safari whilst the other tour groups seemed to have simple cold sandwich boxes!
Mussa's driving was smooth and the jeep itself was good enough, being a customised old school Landcruiser fitted with an opening top and padded around so you could stand up and stick your head out of the room and get fresh air in your face during the rides in the parks. Especially awesome on the climb to Ngorongoro and of course the drives in the park. There was a power socket extension the vehicle as well where we could charge our mobile phones and cameras (don’t forget to bring your 3 pin multiplug). Mussa gave us interesting informational tidbits about each animal that we saw in the parks, which added to the depth of our experience. He was flexible in us stopping on the way to and from the parks, for coffee breaks in local coffee spots or pharmacies etc.; however, it's recommended that you try and get to the parks as early as possible.
We highly recommend this company and plan on using Wild Secret Safaris and hopefully the same team on our next trip (for the Serengity) - if you have the budget and can book early, aim for accommodation within the reserves themselves or as close as possible so that you can minimise travel time and aim to be there after sunrise.
