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!

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.
⚠️ Important information: if you are in contact with Richard, aka "Pilipili," please note that he is not part of the company.

An unforgettable experience to be repeated
It was certainly an unforgettable 5-day experience that exceeded all expectations. Thanks to the expertise and availability of the Hekima staff, we had the privilege of seeing the Big 5 and a huge variety of other animals. We stayed in spectacular lodges where, in addition to the good food, we had the opportunity to interact with incredibly friendly and kind people. Without a doubt, an experience to repeat with Hekima ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Unforgettable, beyond-expectation adventures with guides who make every moment magical
I recently returned from a 5-day safari with Hekima Safaris, and I can honestly say it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. My friend and I arrived with high expectations, and every single one of them was exceeded, many times over.
From the moment we were picked up to the very last day, everything was organised to perfection. Our guides, Ole and Baraka, were exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, and passionate about what they do. They made sure we didn’t just see the wildlife, but truly experienced it.
The trip was packed with breathtaking moments: seeing lions up close, watching elephants roam freely, spotting rare birds, and witnessing stunning sunrises and sunsets over the savannah. The accommodations were comfortable, the food was delicious, and the itinerary was perfectly balanced..
It was also fantastic value for money, the quality of service, the experiences we had, and the attention to detail far exceeded what we had hoped for. If I could, I would do this safari over and over again. And if I ever go on another safari, I wouldn’t even consider going with anyone else; it would be Hekima Safaris every time.
Thank you, Hekima Safaris, for giving us memories we’ll carry for a lifetime.

Amazing
We had the most incredible 7-day safari experience with Hekima Safaris, and we can’t recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and full of unforgettable moments.
Our guide, Juma, was absolutely outstanding — knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly passionate about wildlife. He had an incredible eye for spotting animals and always made sure we were in the perfect spot for the best views and photos. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five, countless other species, and learned so much along the way!
Juma’s calm energy, great sense of humor, and deep knowledge of the parks (especially Serengeti and Ngorongoro) made each day an adventure in itself. He was patient with all our questions, flexible with the itinerary, and always went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and happy.
The accommodations arranged by Hekima Safaris were wonderful — clean, welcoming, and well located. The whole trip felt thoughtfully planned, yet relaxed and stress-free. We always felt safe, well taken care of, and completely immersed in the beauty of Tanzania.
If you’re thinking about booking a safari, do it with Hekima Safaris — and if you can, request Juma! You’ll come home with memories that last a lifetime.

They really focus in doing anything within their reach to make the experience unforgettable.
I came across Hekima by takling to a friend of mine who did the trip some years ago.
Doing Safari in Africa was always something me and my wife wanted to experience, and we decided to do it for our honeymoon. And what an unforgettable experience it was.
We really had high expectations for this trip and it ended up surpassing them, and Hekima Safaris had a lot to do with that.
All members of the personnel were always really kind and attentive. And a special shout out to our driver Amani (I hope I'm spelling it right). If he's assign to you, believe me when I say you are in good hands.
They are also really flexible, and they customize and adjust the plan based on your preferences without any issues. They even went the extra mile quite a few times. I can tell from my experience that they treat their customers really well.
We enjoy everything of the Safari, from the first to the last day. Each day exceeded our most ambitious expectations, and all have unforgettable moments.
I recommend them 100%. I hope I can do another trip like this in the future. And if I do, I know I'll reach out to them.

Amazing Safari – Highly Recommended!
We did a 5-day private camping safari with Hekima to Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Great value, excellent service, professional guide, and tasty food. They were flexible and even arranged a last-minute walking safari. Everything was perfect – would definitely book again!

Solo in Tanzania: Magical and Safe with Hekima
I went on a solo trip to Tanzania, and Hekima, a local, family-run business, organized an absolutely extraordinary safari for me. I spent three days and two nights between the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, both breathtaking places.
Everything was perfectly organized, and above all, I felt safe at every moment. As a solo woman, it was a real relief and a great pleasure to feel accompanied, supported, and respected by the entire team, from start to finish.
I 100% recommend this company for your excursions in Tanzania. Thank you again to the entire team for this unforgettable experience!
