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 đ
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 huntâa cheetah that killed a Thomsonâs 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 safariâeverything was excellent from start to finish đŻđŻ
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!

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 đ
Thank you, Hekima Safari for this incredible experience!

unforgettable safari Experience
I have no enough words to describe how incredible this safari was. From the moment we contacted Bright African Safaris, we felt welcomed and well taken care of.
Our guide faraj was truly exceptional patient, knowledgeable, and always making sure we enjoyed every moment. Mopoo, who also accompanied us, was so friendly and attentive, making the trip even more enjoyable.
This was an experience of a lifetime, and I am deeply grateful.
I highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Africa they will make your safari unforgettable.

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 â 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 couldnât have asked for a better safari experience. Highly recommended!

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

Once Upon In Time In Tanzania
During the final week of September 2025, my wife and I joined my good friendâs 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 wasnât aware of it until Amani alerted me. Safiness said that theyâd try to bring it to me at the airport just before departure and they did. They didnât 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 youâre looking for magic in the animal kingdom, it doesnât get better than this. Well-supported and organized, the trip was filled with âwowâ 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.

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.

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.

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
