Fantastic safari experience
5/5

I had a fantastic 4-days safari with Hekima. Our tour guide and driver Sam is experienced and friendly. He took us to spot dozens of animals and also made our journey full of fun by storytelling his unforgettable experiences of safari. The chef never failed to fulfill our appetite. We went to tarangiere and seregenti national park, as well as ngorongoro, the views were diverse and breathtaking. The Hekima staff at Hekima house treated us as family when we were back from safari. Eliza is young passionate entrepreneur, I was really inspired by his story of setting up Hekima safari.

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!

One of the best.
5/5


I recently went on a trip with Hekima Tourist Company and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and they went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the trip was enjoyable and hassle-free.

The itinerary was well-planned and allowed us to see all the major sights in the area without feeling rushed. The accommodations were also top-notch, with comfortable and clean rooms that were conveniently located near all the attractions.

What really stood out to me was the attention to detail that the company put into every aspect of the trip. From the transportation to the food to the tour guides, everything was thoughtfully planned and executed to perfection.

I would highly recommend Hekima Tourist Company to anyone looking for a well-organized and enjoyable travel experience. They truly exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to book another trip with them in the future!

Awesome
5/5

We did both Safari and Kilimanjaro with Hekima Safari. Such amazing experiences!

The Safari was 4 days in total in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Amir was a very experienced guide making sure we got front-row seats to both leopard and lions and Kennedy was a very good driver. We saw 4/5 of the big five up close - it was amazing! The food was good,  varied and we didn't miss anything. We felt safe in the big jeeps which was a big concern for us beforehand. The great experience on the safari and with Jackson made us book our Kilimanjaro trek through Hekima, too.

We did Kilimanjaro in 7 days via the Lemosho route. The guides (Tuesday and Emanuel) were very experienced and good at motivating us to go all the way to the top. We were somewhat scared of the altitude sickness and they made sure we felt safe and cared for.
Amazing crew!! The cook, the porters and our waiter were all so friendly and made sure that nothing would stand in our way to the top. We were provided quality equipment - both tents and sleeping bags which is really important in the cold environment. We were very positively surprised regarding the food - it was varied, fresh and healthy and we didn't eat the same thing twice for dinner.
You also get a wash-wash (a bowl with hot water and soap) before dinner and in the morning which made it bearable to go 7 days without a real shower..
It was an amazing experience and we sure wouldn't have reached Uhuru Peak without the whole crew.

Overall, 5/5 and would definetly book again through Hekima Safari.

SAFARIS AND CULTURAL EXTENSION FOR PHOTO ADDCTS ! :)
5/5

A program based on the offer in Safaribookings by Hekima Safaris but with the capacity of adaptation to my personal interests (mainly photos of wildlife, landscape and people).
5 Stars program, and 5 stars the guide (Fred) the staff of the company (Hekima) and to the staff of all hotels and lodges.

The program it’s very good and balanced, allot of wildlife and the people… so nice, educated and friendly.
So amazing trip that I ask for future for make a program “Photo Safari” with Hekima Safaris, in Portuguese and Spanish (for my groups of photographers that are mainly from Portugal, Spain and Brasil, and others that want join us).

Amazing safari experience!
5/5

I really recommend everyone to book their safari with Hekima! I had an amazing safari experience with them, much thanks to our excellent guide Juma with his knowledge about animals and nature and our fantastic chef Marcus that cooked tasty meals for us. I enjoyed it so much that im thinking to do it soon again, and it will definitely be with Hekima next time too! Also thanks to the staff at Hekima house and the management for being so friendly and helpful. I will always remember this good experience!

Couldn't expect a better experience than with Hekima Safaris!
5/5

Jackson and his team were perfect and amazing. They arranged the 4-day safari in tents for my friend and I. The organization was really good from the pick-up to the drop-off at the airport, including the safari itself, the food (very tasty), the accomodation and even the great night out (thanks again for the great fun!). Jackson even dropped my forgotten sunglasses to one of my friend in Dar. I recommand really much Hekima Safaris which is a reliable company. Thanks again for the great memories and hope to come back again!

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;)

This was an experience of a lifetime thanks to Richard!
5/5

My group and I came to visit for a week and from the airport pickup to drop off on the last day we enjoyed. Richard was very pleasant and knowledge. We had many things we wanted to experience and he was patient with us and made provisions for us to see everything. He communicated well and made sure that we were safe. It felt as if we had known him all of our lives. He provided us excellent customer service and always made sure that we were please. We definitely will be back and we would not travel there with another else but HEKIMA Safaris!
