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;)

A trip of a life time
5/5

Hekima helped me to organize my trip to Tanzania. I was able to go to Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara NP, Ngororono Crater, and the Serengeti National Park. Every single detail of the trip was perfectly organized with the Hekima team. The attention, the food in each of the hotels, and Lodges were excellent. We were lucky to see the Wildebeest migration, an incredible amount of wildlife, including the big 5, and beautiful landscapes. Patrick, Hekima's guide for the Safaris is an Excellent guide with superb knowledge of every single park, animal behavior, flora, and habitat. His kindness and warmth for which we are grateful made this trip a wonderful experience. For all the beauty of Tanzania, I bring my heart full of the kindness and warmth of the people in Tanzania. I'll keep their genuine smiles with me forever! Strong recommend Hekima Safaris to everyone for Mt Kilimanjaro or Safaris

Unforgettable lifetime experience with the amazing driver
5/5

As a global traveler, this has been the most unforgettable trip ever I had in my life so far. This trip was made of a group of 5, me with an amazing couple from Poland, a drive and a chef. The whole time the driver and the chef were with us, providing an excellent services. The food was good, and the driver Maulid could find all different kinds of wild animals as we wanted to see. And what amazing was, we got to see all the big fives in an extremely close distance. Besides that, we were also lucky enough to witness the migration of wildebeest and zebras. However, to our surprise, we experience the hunting as well. So, it’s highly recommended!
