Unforgettable Experience on our 7 day Safari Tour with Wild Secrets
5/5

Unforgettable is the word I can use to describe our recent safari to Tanzania with Wild Secrets. We were a party of 5 friends (2 couples and my cousin) from Instanbul and this was our first time on Safari. Musa our host was there for us from the time we sent our first email, to the time we departed and even today we are still in contact. He is an honest Muslim who prides himself on offering his clients the best service.
We went with Hamisi our guide to the parks located in the North of Tanzania starting with Manyara followed by Tarangire and Ngorongoro on our way back to Arusha. Hamisi helped us to see all the animals in our wishlist including some that are quite rare like the leopard and wild dogs - This is in addition to all the big 5 (Lion, Rhino, Elephant, Cape buffalo and Leopard) also giraffes, antelopes, warthog, zebra, hippo, crocodile.....and birds that I had never seen before like crownbirds, flamingoes, herons, pelican, eagles.......
The hotels were first class serving Halal certified food and rooms providing for proper sanitation. The car was comfortable with nice additions for comfort in the dirt roads.
We had so much fun that the seven days ended too quickly and sadly we had to leave Tanzania. We are making plans to return soon and I recommend this great company with confidence.

Great Halal Safari in Tanzania and Zanzibar
5/5

We are a family of 5 from Canada and went a 4 day safari to Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park in Tanzania mainland and 3 days in Zanzibar with Wild Secrets Safaris a local tour operator that offers Halal packages that follow Islamic guidelines. I contacted Musa the director who shared various safaris options on offer and after discussing with my husband and kids we chose to do 4 days in the mainland and 3 days in Zanzibar.
Our connecting flight from Dubai arrived quite late in the night and got a representative from Wild Secrets at the airport who took us to Mt Meru Hotel in Arusha. It was nice that Musa had arranged for a late dinner as we were quite ravenous! The Safari tour took us to Ngorongoro Crater which was about 3 hour drive in a Toyota Land cruiser Hardtop from south of Arusha. This park was fantastic and is filled lions, elephants, wildebeest, zebras, hippos, flamingos, baboons, rhinos. There was so much to see that the day passed very fast and we went to the lovely Oldeani Mountain Lodge where we had dinner and spent our night. After breakfast we were driven to Serengeti National Park through Ndutu and in there lay a wonderful spectacle of thousands of wildebeest, mixed with antelopes and zebras with their young calves. We had 2 amazing days in Serengeti, before flying out Zanzibar from Seronera. In Zanzibar we were booked at La Verde hotel enjoyed 3 fun days of relaxation.
Wild Secrets organized a great itinerary and my family is very grateful. I recommend them highly.

Finaly we have a Halal safari!
5/5

We had an amazing experience on the 6 days luxury safari with Wild Secrets Safaris that took us Tarangire N.P, Serengeti N.P. and Ngorongoro Crater. We chose to go with Wild Secrets Safaris as we are strict Muslim family and they are famous for Halal safari packages at very reasonable rates coupled with superb service.
We observed that this company thrives on excellence. Nothing is left to chance, Rashid took care of every aspect, all our hotels were booked and paid for, park fees, and transfers were all punctual that did not miss any activity or rushed. We appreciate Rashid patience as we took a lot of time planning our itinerary with many changes on our arrival date. Payment was also secure via EFT to his account.
Our connecting flight from Dubai arrived at night and we found a rep from the company in uniform waving a placard with our names at the arrivals. He took us to Mt. Meru hotel which is quite nice with great views of Mt Meru – only that we did not see much as we left the following morning for the parks.
It was raining at times but our guide Ibra is a fantastic driver, patient and his enthusiasm and charisma rubbed off on us. The drive from town to the parks is quite scenic and we even met groups of young Maasai men along the road. He answered all questions with detailed explanations. We even stopped for our daily prayers with water to cleanse and mats!!
We had a strong 4x4 vehicle just to ourselves. It was spacious and comfortable with retractable roof which he opened for great views. Tarangire and Serengeti are great with abundant wildlife, however I am still awestruck by Ngorongoro Crater. There are a lot of different animals including birdlife enclosed by the crater walls. With every turn you find a different animal. We even saw 2 black rhinos!!!
Our hotels on tour were fantastic. They had excellent staff served Halal food and our rooms were fitted with bidgets.
I am very grateful for Rashid for planning our safari well that made my wife and I very happy that we did not compromise our faith at any one time. I recommend them to all Muslims who are planning to go on safari in Tanzania

Excellent experience, our guide has special eyes to find remote animals. Love wild secret team.
5/5

We just completed a 7 days camping safari with Wild Secret Safaris. not only we saw all big five animals, but we also experienced wildebeest migration. They really customised the trip to our needs and proposed an programme that did fit perfectly. We were very happy for our guide who has special cheetah eyes allowing him to spot the animal around and an rich experience of the parks. The cook tried best to make nice meals for us and really succeded, in terms of variety and quality. This is definitely an unforgettable experience.
