Excellent Game Drive
5/5

I had an amazing experience with Hekima Safaris. Very friendly and hospitable staff. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. In the end was a relaxing boating on the lake Duluti. It was so wonderful to see everything that had seen in National Geographic and other channels in real. Like just in front of your eyes, sometimes very close. We saw baby cheetahs, hunting lions, rhinos, a funny honey badger and a lot more. We did not see a leopard, but it's a game drive, not a zoo, right? Next time! Good meal, nights in the tents under an awesome starry sky included.
Thanks to great driver Samir, chef Marcus, Elieza, Jackson and others!
Highly recommended!

Great experience
5/5

We had a great experience with Hekima despite some initial difficulties that were sorted out perfectly. The company helped us to modify a tour to make it more suitable for us and they were always in direct contact with us in case we needed anything. I would recommend it.

Unique Safari Experience
5/5

We did a 4 day safari tour with Hekima, which was an amazing experience! We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Lake Eyasi and discovered Arusha National Park at a walking safari.
We booked everything the day when we arrived in Hekima House, where the stuff is so friendly and welcoming that you don´´ t feel like being in a Hostel but at a friends place. Arranging the safari was really easygoing and they followed our wishes perfectly and gave good recommendation what suits best so that we had a really diversified tour with a lot of animals, haunting with the hadzabe and last but not least the walking tour, which is a great experience after sitting in the car for 3 days.

In the evening we always had a great dinner and our guide put much effort in us feeling comfortable. For example organizing a bonfire, show us the sundowner at the lake or just entertaining us;)

Really wonderful experience that beyond expectation!!!
5/5

Was really treated like a friend which is beyond expectation and as a solo traveller, I feel at home at Hekima House with the team - Elieza and Jackson - and other travellers. Our driver as well as guide is also super experienced - can spot the leopard far far far away in the bush - and always focus on details and every person's need. Our chef and assistant are also very sweet and make delicious food for us. It's overall a fantastic experience and highly recommended! GoHekima!

Highly Recommended!!! Best in hospitality, management and professionalism.
5/5

So the team Elieza, Jumma, Michael, and Jackson delivered what they promised. It is tough to choose between so many tour operators and eventually, you need to trust your guts before you book one of them. Being a vegetarian they took good care of my needs when it came to food. The accommodation was simply decent. Our guide Jumma made sure we see all the big, ugly and small five. Due to his patience, we also got to see a hunt and it was once in a lifetime experience. Keep up the good work guys.

These guys know what the customer needs very well
5/5

Safari is a once in a lifetime opportunity for many and I am no exception. Hekima understood that and brought back the National Geographic kid back to life with an extravagant safari experience. Our tour guide Jumma is a very experienced guide with hawk eyes, who made sure we spot the big five and also rare to spot honeybadger and the Karakal. I will suggest you all to give Hekima a try, as these guys are doing a wonderful job as a start up and bring Tanzanian tourism on the global map.

Great Experience with an Amazing Crew!
5/5

The staff at Hekima - right from Elieza, Jackson, Juma, Michael and others, always went the extra mile to ensure nothing short of an incredible safari experience. We were a group of 6 guys and all our needs (including varying dietary requirements) were taken care of. I would also suggest a stay at Hekima House before and after the safari.

Special credit to Juma, who was our driver as well as guide for the 5 days. He had extremely sharp eyes that could spot a honey badger a mile out in the grassland. He took extra efforts to allow us to see the Great Migration that had drifted off farther than the normal safari routes. Add to this his impressive knowledge of the various wild animals and his excellent sense of humor, we really couldn't have asked for a better guide!

Hekima will ensure that extra "personal touch" to your experience. You will end up making friends for life. Highly recommended!
