Amazing Hekima Safari
5/5

If you wanna get an amazing safari tour, you should choose Hekima team. Communication with Hekima team before our safari tour was always without any problem. They always answered our questions, were very helpful and friendly :) and it was before our arrival. When we arrived to Arusha, all staff in Hekima House were very friendly and you feel like when you come to visit your friends,... They were really nice to us and made a great program how to get to know Arusha better. It was never boring! Also food was very delicious and various. The safari was just a dream ❤️ Experience, adventure,... We had amazing time during the safari tour, you can not be hungry or unsatisfied,.. Hekima is great professional company, they organise unbelievable safari tour for you!! There is nothing you will miss it.They really took care of us. I would book safari again just with you, really to recommendation ❤️

A Time in Lifetime With Hekima Safaris
5/5

Life is really interesting especially when you happened to know that one of your classmate who used to dream big made it big now. Now am talking about Elieza Rabiet. My name is Nelson Mandela Ladu and Elieza and I both Studied at Tanzania Adventist Secondary School in Arusha Tanzania. After high school life in 2012 we all separated and by then I came back to South Sudan. Time pass by and one night like a dream come true when I saw my friend Elieza Rabiet advertising his activities on social media and I was really thrilled because this same person used to talk a lot about adventure and no wonder the time has come. January 18th 2025, I had the opportunity to visit my friend Elieza Rabiet and the wonderful work he has been doing. All I wanted to say is that the Safari was awesome and to me an experience of a lifetime. Please if anyone wants a thrilled adventure book with Hekima Safaris and the rest will be memorable.

Hekima Safaris combines professionalism with unmatched expertise for an unforgettable adventure.
5/5

I highly recommend a trip with Hekima Safaris. We managed to see all of the Big Five. What I liked the most was the professionalism of the tour guides. They showed us stunning spots, and very often, we were completely alone with nature! The accommodation was great, and the contact with the organizer was excellent. 100% recommend!

Unbelievable :)
5/5

My safari trip with Hekima Safaris East Africa was perfect and genuinely couldn't have been any better. The trip planning was easy and stress free thanks to the quick and detailed replies from reservation department at Hekima .Our tour guide on the safari, Juma and the high management was unbelievable very PROFESSIONAL . Ely listened to what we were interested in & made 100% effort to ensure that our tour was amazing in every way. I really wanted to see lions and Hippopotamus when we were there and guide pulled out all the stops to ensure that we seen lions. Hekima team I can say they are so knowledgeable and they are so much passion for what they does you can realized this from the first email :)

Our accommodation that we was arranged for us by Hekima was also perfect. I’d like to mention that the food for our lunches on safari was delicious & we loved that we got to try some proper Tanzania food. The bottle of wine was also a great touch! Thank you for a fantastic trip, we will remember our trip with Hekima Safaris always

Dream came true
5/5

I was always dreaming to do a safari in Tanzania at the Serengeti Nationalpark. I heard the first time from Hekima from a traveller, whom i met in Cape town in November 2018, at the beginning from my Africa trip. He recommended this safari company and so I got in touch with them. When i arrived in Arusha they organized everything for me and welcomed me like a family member. The guest house is very cute, the crew very lovely, helpful and hospitable. The food at the guest house was always very delicious. And then the safari: it was mind blowing. We saw big 5 within 24 hours. Our driver was like an eagle and knew everything about the animals habitats. I had the best food in Tanzania while our safari. The tents were very big and the mattresses very comfy. All parks are unique and completely different. We had the best crew and group. I still cannot believe that my dream came true. Thanks a lot to Hekima team! You made it and helped me so much. Furthermore you help me to realize another big dream: Volunteering in Africa. No words can describe how lucky I am to have done these experiences with you. I had so many best moments with you. My heart is always with you and hopefully we will see us in 2020.

The experience is Indeed the Excellent experience
5/5

I cannot recommend Hekima Safaris enough. Not only are the guides so friendly, radically knowledgable and kind, they are extremely professional . The cooker Markus is beyond expectations, super creative and always trying to do his best to show Tanzanian cuisines from its best side.
Additionally, we had so much fun singing and dancing with Hekima family before and after safaris! Their concern didnt end with safari service but they took care about us all our stay in Arusha .

When you starts to plan thing too far in advance, sometimes the actual event falls short of your expectations and becomes a disappointment. I am so happy to report this was not the case with the safari we just completed wit HEKIMA SAFARIS as it far exceeded all of our expectations! Our planning began over year ago and HEKIMA SAFARIS was there every step of the way, promptly responding to inquiries and helping with creating our own plan. I researched safari companies thoroughly. Hekima was one of the least expensive options we found and after reading reviews we chose them. There was nothing cheap about the quality of the service, food or accomodations; all were top shelf if not down right luxurious. Our guide was a pleasure to be with for the time. He had a keen eye and sharp wit and continuously worked to keep us informed and happy. A safari is a big investment in time and money. You can't do better than Hekima Safaris I believe . We are so happy we chose them - what more could you ask for?

They have great social media as well, their Instagram account is woooo - guys kip the spirit alive :)

GREAT!
5/5

We did a 15 days private safari starting from Kilimanjaro Aiport, Tanzania going through Tanzanian and Kenya National parks and ending up our trip at Jomo Kenyatta International aiport in Nairobi. A company guide Emanuel came all the way from Arusha to greet us at the airport. We went to Tarangire ,Lake Manyara ,Ngorongoro and Serengeti, than we flew from Soronera central Serengeti to Arusha aiport . We had few Days rest with cultural program and City tour. Everything was organized by Hekima team and we had really Great local experience. We also did short trek around mount Kilimanjaro and visit local Chaga tribe . Then we crossed border to Kenya to Amboseli Park. Hotels choice and arrangement was excellent. Our guide in Tanzania was Emmanuel who was very knowledgeable and friendly. The guide for Kenya was Ken who we heared is new guide for Hekima, he is young, but is very passionate and did great job for us. All the staff is friendly and gives The holiday a personal touch. Overall the prices are good and the service is super PROFESSIONAL and friendly. As well, we were warned before that companies in East Africa sell clients between each other (This was different story with Hekima) all The service was operated by Hekima 100 % that i belive was Great advantage as they stayed in Touch with us and directly made sure that everything was Perfect :)

Great service! Good places to stay, safe and friendly for a solo traveler
5/5

Jackson and Eli are great. They gave me a good price for my safari tour that combined Tanzania and Kenya. I was a solo traveler but Eli joined me in my trip to Kenya to make sure I was staying in nice places. He was great companion. We visited many places and I always felt safe and in a well-organized tour. In Tanzania, Jackson made his best to accommodate to my needs under some unexpected events happening. He made sure I was happy with my itinerary and with service.
