Wonderful Safari , Trustworthy Operator, Friendly Staff
With Hekima, we did a 4 day safari (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) and 2 day trips to Kikuletwa Hotsprings and Kilimanjaro.
Safari experience was really good. Our driver/guide Moses was really experienced and friendly. He knows where to drive and when to start the game drives. In Serengeti, we started the game drive at 6:00 and saw a kind of conflict between a lion and hyaena clan just at the beginning. Many safari cars came half an hour later and missed the whole show.
The food in safari was above my expectations. If protein is important in your diet, you must bring it for yourself. Meat amount was little as expected.
The sleeping bags and tents are taken from a place in Mto wa Mbu. I guess most operators do the same since I saw similar tents in campsites. Tents were a bit smelly at first night. Sleeping bags have different models and conditions. Some of them are not suitable for the night at Ngorongoro especially for the girls (5-10 'C). But wearing layers during the sleep can suffice.
The only problem in our experience with Hekima was in Kilimanjaro Day hike. We started the day nearly 2 hours later than suggested time and we needed to rush a lot for completing the hike before 6pm (after 6 hiking is prohibited). Because of this we could not see Maundi Crater and did not enjoy the hike since we did not give breaks and need to complete the whole hike in 4 hours (nearly double speed). They must be more careful on this kind of arrangements and must consider the traffic and park rules.

Posted on Sep 3, 2018Many thanks for your kind review! We are really happy that you enjoyed the time spent with us during the safari! It's very important to us!
Thank you for your feedback about a day Hike at Mt Kilimanjaro !
“We conducted the promotion in our social Media about to get free Activities with us and they won free day Hike at Mt Kilimanjaro .And after Kikuletwa they overnight at Arusha due to the time and periodicity “A day Hike”from Arusha to Kilimanjaro for starting point of Marangu root we did the best to meet they expectation “
for this reason we apologize if we didn’t meet your expectations. Environment conditions of day Hike could make it not that easy, but we will take this observation to still improve our service!
Hope to meet you again soon around this small village called “World “
Sincerely
Hekima Safaris

Amazing
We just came back from our Safari in Tanzania (Lake Manyara - Serengeti - Ngorongoro).This company is really recommended by us because of the very high quality of service they provide. Our guide, Maulid, was exceptionally great - he can spot any hidden animal miles away while driving. He takes incredibly good pictures, he's an excellent driver, and he's very experienced. He knows everything about animals, history, african culture... on top of this, he really enjoys his job and does it with great enthusiasm, making you feel he's not just a guide driving you around but a true friend enjoying his time with you. We will book a safari again with Hekima Safaris, and we recommend you to do the same!

If I decide to repeat Safari in Tanzania, I'm sure I will do it with Hekima Safaris again. Everything was perfect and exactly how they promise. No unpleasant "surprises ". We spent with Hekima Sf 3 days on Safari (Serengeti and Ngorongoro) and one day trip aroud Kilimangaro with Jackson

Young, honest guys who genuinely care about customers and their safari
I met the Hekima guys through Couchsurfing. I stayed at their house, and was amazed by their generosity in opening their space to travelers in need. Mopo helped me to book my safari with Hekima. I did a bit of research and he offered me a really good, honest price. It's often hard to trust new people when you travel so much, but I very soon came to trust Mopo, Jackson, Sammy and the team very quickly. They would never rip someone off.
The safari itself was great quality as well. Our guide went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable, and saw all the animals we could. The safari was well-organized, the food was good, and the keep was comfortable.
Overall I would highly recommend this company. The safari was great, and the guys involved are even better. A truly amazing, once in a lifetime experience.
