Woooww, I couldnt imagine that
100% valuable.
Our driver/ guide is really the best you can have , for sure, he is more invested than any other driver in the parc, whenever he heard about an animal, he ran to find it, what a hunter !
Besides, our cooker (Barack) was equally invested, we were one of the rare to have a complete meal every time while the others had sandwiches.
The safari was organised according to our willing , we had a discount , and the flights included.
That was so perfect, I recommend it.

Excellent indeed!
From the very first night, our experience with Hekima Safaris was unforgettable. We arrived and stayed overnight at Hekima House, which is truly amazing a beautiful home with a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel comfortable and relaxed right away.
We then enjoyed a 7-day safari adventure, guided by Aman and accompanied by Mopoo. Together, they made the perfect team: Aman drove with great skill and shared his knowledge, while Mopoo had a sharp eye for spotting animals. It was such a good balance, and they worked seamlessly to give us the best experience possible.
Throughout the safari, they did everything to make sure we were happy, safe, and able to see the wildlife in the best way. Sometimes while Aman focused on driving, Mopoo would be looking around carefully to spot the animals and it always paid off!
We truly felt taken care of, and we cannot recommend Hekima Safaris enough for anyone wanting a professional, friendly, and unforgettable safari in Tanzania and Kenya

Mind-blowing 🎉
Our 4-day safari with Hekima Safaris was an amazing adventure from start to finish. The team was professional, welcoming, and made us feel at home right away. Each day brought something new—from spotting the Big Five to enjoying breathtaking landscapes in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro.
The accommodations were comfortable, and spending a night in the middle of the savannah was an experience we’ll never forget. The meals were delicious, and everything was well organized, so we could just relax and enjoy every moment.
We are so grateful to Hekima Safaris for making our trip so special. We will cherish these memories forever and can’t wait to recommend them to friends and family!

We had an amazing trip..it was fantastic
Our safari experience with Hekima Safaris in Kenya and Tanzania was truly outstanding. From the very beginning, the team showed excellent communication we received all the details on time, and everything was explained clearly, which gave us great confidence in our journey.
Throughout the trip, all the accommodations we booked were exactly as promised, which made the experience smooth and worry-free. Every lodge and camp met the expected standard, and the organization was excellent from start to finish.
The safari itself was incredible well-planned, full of adventure, and guided with professionalism and care. The wildlife encounters in Kenya and the breathtaking landscapes of Tanzania made it a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
We highly recommend Hekima Safaris for anyone planning a safari in East Africa. Their professionalism, clear communication, and dedication to delivering exactly what they promise make them the perfect choice.

Incredible Safari Experience in Kenya & Tanzania!
Our safari through Kenya and Tanzania was nothing short of spectacular! From the vast savannahs of the Maasai Mara to the breathtaking landscapes of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, every day brought a new adventure and unforgettable moments.
We were lucky to witness the Great Migration, spot all the Big Five, and see countless other animals up close in their natural habitat. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout the trip.
The entire journey was well-organized, with seamless transitions between parks and borders. Both Kenya and Tanzania have so much beauty to offer and experiencing them together gave us a deeper appreciation for East Africa’s rich wildlife and culture!
Highly recommend Hekima Safaris to anyone looking for a life-changing travel experience. We came back home with full hearts, thousands of photos, and memories that will last a lifetime!
Thank you Juma and Mapoo for having made this trip unforgettable!

Simply amazing organization!
We recently returned from an incredible Kenya and Tanzania safari organized by Hekima Safaris, and the experience exceeded all our expectations.
From the initial planning stages to the final drop-off, the logistics were flawless. Crossing the border between Kenya and Tanzania was handled seamlessly, which made the entire journey stress-free.
Our guide Juma was the heart of the trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, the local culture, and the geography of both Serengeti/Ngorongoro and Tarangire. He had an uncanny ability to spot animals—we managed to see the Big Five (and much more!) thanks to his expertise and patience.
We truly appreciated Hekima's professionalism and genuine passion for making our safari an unforgettable adventure. We highly recommend Hekima Safaris to anyone looking for a well-organized, enriching, and truly memorable East African experience.
Thank you Mapoo for your precious support, presence and kindness: you made our days simply unforgettable!

Mixed Experience - Communication Needs Serious Improvement
We booked a mid-range safari with Hekima Safaris after reading many positive reviews, and while there were some great aspects to our experience, we were also disappointed in several areas.
We made our booking early in February for a September safari, specifically because of the positive feedback about Hekima going above and beyond for their customers. However, communication from the company was lacking throughout the process.
Two days before our arrival in Kenya, I messaged Hekima to confirm our airport pickup and overall itinerary, but received no response. As we were flying all the way from Australia, this caused significant anxiety — especially given the common warnings about scams. Even during our layover in Mumbai, I messaged again, only to see the message was read with no reply. Out of concern, I contacted the hotel we were due to stay at in Nairobi to confirm our reservation. While they did have a booking under our name, Hekima had not yet paid, so the hotel staff said it wasn’t guaranteed.
Eventually, after we landed in Nairobi around 5:40 AM, Hekima responded and provided a contact for our pickup.
We also learned at breakfast that Hekima had sent an external guide to pick us up, as the staff members were away on another safari. This gave us the impression that our safari may have been overlooked or forgotten, despite our early booking.
Communication after our deposit was made became noticeably slower, whereas responses before payment were immediate. This shift in engagement was disappointing.
However, we were especially disappointed with the guide in the Serengeti. He did not make an effort to connect with us, and we felt like the "going above and beyond" service we read about in reviews was not true in our case. The guide seemed disinterested and did not engage with us or go the extra mile to enhance our experience. He did mention he hadn't slept but there was plenty of time to sleep and rest after coming back from game drives in the evening.
At times, we felt uncomfortable asking for a few extra moments to enjoy the sunrise or take in the animals, as if we were inconveniencing him.
There were also issues with accommodation changes not being communicated in advance. One of the lodges we were taken to was not the one we had booked, and it did not meet mid-range standards – dirty showers and poor food. On another day, the same thing happened again, but thankfully, the alternate lodge was significantly better.
That said, there were definitely many positives too — don’t get me wrong. The guides made sure we saw all the animals we wanted to see, including the Big Five. The lodges (with the exception of one uncommunicated change) were fantastic, with great food and comfortable amenities.
On the day we were flying out, we were told by the airline that our flight was actually departing from a different airport. Jackson and Benard rushed back immediately, picked us up, and drove as fast as they could to the correct airport. This really helped us, and we can’t thank them enough for saving the day.
Overall, the safari had its highlights — and we especially want to give a big shoutout to Jackson for his support and professionalism. But unfortunately, due to poor communication, last-minute changes, and a lack of attentiveness at times, we can’t give Hekima the 5-star rating we had really hoped to.
There is definite potential here — but improvements in communication and customer care are needed.

Exceptional adventure
We had a superb safari with the team: Freddy, our driver and guide, and Baraka, our chef.
We chose a private safari to fully enjoy the adventure, and we were not disappointed. The food was perfect, thank you Baraka!
The accommodations were excellent: one night in a lodge, followed by incredible experiences in tents, sleeping in the savannah, surrounded by wild animals.
Upon our arrival and return from the safari, we stayed at Hekima House, where Shannel gave us a warm welcome and with whom we had a wonderful time.
Upon departure, we even shared a friendly drink with the Hekima House team.
