Hekima safari
Although there are several tour operators for safaris, I'm really happy to have found Hekima Safari. They did everything to make me feel comfortable.
I felt like family.
Everything was perfect.
If I have to recommend them, it's with great pleasure.

Amazing Ngorogoro experience
We had an amazing experience visiting ngorongoro with Hekima Safaris. Experienced guide who could tell a lot about the nature and animals. Next to this, we could sleep in their guest house and they even have a great cook.

Once Upon In Time In Tanzania
During the final week of September 2025, my wife and I joined my good friend’s family for the 9-day Migration River Crossing.
From the moment we signed up Safiness, our Hekima contact, was extremely helpful in providing all the information needed to prepare for our first adventure in the African continent. As a result, we felt assured, our excitement and confidence boosted as we waited for September to arrive.
The trip was wonderful and enjoyable: the Airbnb accommodation for Hekima Safari was really great, and we truly enjoyed meeting the people around their home and having drinks with them. It was safe, the guides (Faraki and Amani) were engaging as well as knowledgeable, and be prepared for some bumpy driving across the parks. Hekima put in considerable efforts to make it memorable for all of us. The mandatory briefing session at the end of each day was a great stress-reliever as it provided a dialogue regarding concerns and clarifications.
From the sprawling limestone-green craggy walls of Ngorongoro to the sheer vastness of Serengeti Park and eye-popping Mt. Kilimanjaro, the sights were breathtaking and stay with you forever. The highlight has to be the wildebeest crossings at the Mara River, often described as one of the greatest natural spectacles.For this spectacle, you just have to be there to take it all in with your senses, as no documentary or pictures can quite capture the tension, drama, and scale of the crossings.
However, for me, the Kodak moment was seeing the mighty hippos and pinkish flamingoes chilling in a breezy lake somewhere in the Ngorongoro crater zone. Under the gorgeous sunshine, the images were simply dazzling.
Day 6 was when I carelessly left my tablet on my bed at the lodge, and I wasn’t aware of it until Amani alerted me. Safiness said that they’d try to bring it to me at the airport just before departure and they did. They didn’t have to go all the way for a mistake I made, but they did. It demonstrates the integrity and commitment of Hekima to their clients, and that is deeply appreciated.
If you’re looking for magic in the animal kingdom, it doesn’t get better than this. Well-supported and organized, the trip was filled with “wow” moments as we observed birds and animals (Big 5, blue monkeys, cheetahs, hyenas, spiderman lizard, etc.) in their natural setting: living and playing side by side, resting, limping, TLC with their cubs, having a lonely walk, grazing, being aroused, crossing a dusty road, fighting, being chased, etc. A highly recommended program.

Epic Kilimanjaro & Safari Adventure Beyond Perfect!
words can't fully capture this once-in-a-lifetime journey with Hekima Safaris! From signing up to stepping off the mountain and into the safari, every single moment was flawless.
The Climb: Brutal but breathtaking. Our guides were absolute legends professional, encouraging, and laser-focused on safety. They pushed us just enough to conquer Uhuru Peak without ever feeling reckless. Standing on Africa's rooftop at sunrise? Pure magic. I'll never forget that overwhelming pride.
The Safari: Hands down the highlight! We saw the Big Five (multiple times!) plus cheetahs, giraffes, and elephant herds up close. The guides knew exactly where to find the action it felt like starring in a National Geographic special. The lodges? Stunning views, gourmet food, and total luxury after the trek.
The Team: mopoo and his crew handled everything logistics, gear, meals, transfers. Zero stress, just pure adventure. You can feel their passion in every detail.
If you're debating this combo, book it now. Perfect blend of challenge, wildlife, and relaxation. I'd do it again in a heartbeat

Beautiful memories
From start to finish, our tour with Hekima Safaris was organized incredibly well. We were welcomed on arrival in Arusha by Mopoo, who took us to our first hotel, and from that moment on we were in excellent hands.
Throughout our safari, Jackson looked after us with genuine care. The whole experience was magical — he made sure we were always comfortable and helped us tick off everything on our bucket list, including the Big Five. One thing we truly appreciated was the warm lunches every day. While many other groups were eating lunch boxes, we enjoyed delicious hot meals with pasta or rice after a long morning out in the parks. It made the experience feel so much more personal and premium.
Communication during the planning stage was perfect, and even once we reached Zanzibar, the Hekima office made sure all our transfers were arranged smoothly. With so many tour companies to choose from, we are genuinely happy that we chose Hekima Safaris. They were ethical, professional, and our guide was extremely knowledgeable.
We couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable adventure
The safari was very well organized, from the accommodations before the safari to the end everything fit perfectly. The food (breakfast, lunch, evening) was very delicious (both local and international) and definitely more than enough every day.
Our guide also tried very hard to show us as many different animals as possible, so we could also see the BIG 5 😊
Thank you, Hekima Safari for this incredible experience!

Beautiful time
We saw the Big Five!
We were on a private 8-day safari, and it was an amazing experience. The communication with Eli was top-notchhe answered very quickly, and I had a lot of questions which he always responded to kindly 😊
We had Amani as our guide, and he was great. We saw the Big Five by day 3. We were also lucky enough to witness a hunt—a cheetah that killed a Thomson’s gazelle. We saw many cheetahs with cubs, lions with 2-month-old cubs, a leopard with cubs, and much more.
Hekima Safaris did a great job. I can highly recommend them for your safari—everything was excellent from start to finish 💯💯
I also want to thank Safines. I wanted to buy a safari hat on the way from Arusha to Tarangire, and he made it happen. Many thanks, Safines!

Amazing, highly recommend
We did a 6-day safari tour with Hekima and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide Juma went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. His deep knowledge of wildlife, positive attitude, and great sense of humor created an amazing vibe within the group from day one. Thanks to him, we were lucky to see all of the Big Five and even witness the great wildebeest migration in Northern Serengeti.
A special mention goes to Chef Baraka, who did an excellent job preparing three delicious meals every day. The food was consistently fresh, tasty, and well presented. My partner celebrated her birthday during the trip, and Chef Baraka went out of his way to bake her a cake and organize a small celebration, which made the moment incredibly special and memorable.
Hekima is a very well-organized company. Everything was arranged with great attention to detail, and communication between the office, guides, drivers, and chefs was excellent. While small itinerary changes can sometimes happen, everything was handled professionally and smoothly, ensuring the experience remained enjoyable and stress-free.
Overall, we felt well taken care of from start to finish. We highly recommend Hekima to anyone looking for a professional, warm, and unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania.
