Magical maasai maara
Thank you, Leadwood Expeditions (very gentle, attentive, efficient and keen-eyed guide and driver)!!! You gave us an amazing experience during our 3-day safari to Masai Mara. Everything was right and worked fine. Since the initial information, payments, pick-up, accommodation (I was impressed how equipped can a tent be!!! private hot shower, sink and WC), to the wonderful game drives. Stephen is the man!!! We saw so many lions, elephants, giraffes and even cheetahs. My friends thought the pictures were from a National Geographic article, it was hard to make them believe how close we were to the wild animals. Unbelievable. thank you again, guys. We do recommend Leadwood Expeditions. If you can, take the private safaris, we were 3 and we had a very good time.

Most amazing 7 Days safari.
We just finished a 7 days safari having visited the Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. The Serengeti migration will always be in our memories although we missed the river crossing.
It was amazing to see the wildlife in close range in their natural habitat. Our guide Robinson was very good at spotting them. He was careful to give the animals enough space so they were comfortable to carry on naturally. Very professional and responsible.
The accommodations were a mix of tented camps and lodges and very comfortable and tasty food throughout.
I would recommend them to anyone looking for safari.
Thank you Leadwood and Robinson.

Priceless, once in a lifetime experience
We had an itinerary tailored to our needs and to the time of year we were travelling (9-21 December 2018). Leadwood Expeditions did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job in ensuring our experience was full of awesome memories and exciting wildlife sightings. We travelled through Tanzania and Kenya over 10 nights and honestly, could not recommend this company highly enough. Our first driver and guide, Robby, was the most enthusiastic, genuine and dedicated person - better than anything we could have ever imagined. Robby worked incredibly hard to ensure we got the most out of Tanzania and really gave us star treatment the whole way. Highlights include a very up close experience with almost all of the big five! Plus a very special night in the Serengeti, with staff from ThornTree Camp singing to us to send us off on our last night. It was truly something special and something I will never forget, well worth the cost! THANK YOU LEADWOOD EXPEDITIONS FOR ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCES OF OUR LIVES!
Amazing Tanzania Safari
This was our first Safari in Africa,so we had to check with a variety of travel Agents.The quick response and knowledge of Elias made us decide to go with Leadwood Expeditions.Upon arrival at the airport we were picked by John our driver guide.He was knowledgeable and took good care of us explaining characters of every animal we encountered.The landcruiser was very comfortable and of good condition to beat terrains while in game drives.Good choice we made because Leadwood Expeditions met our expectations.We are definitely booking with you in future for Kenya maasai mara migration.

Above our expectations
We just came back from a 10 days Tanzania safari with Leadwood expeditions and it could not have been handled any better. Boniface, manager at Leadwood, was totally responsive from day 1 and his customer service is beyond any I have experienced in my traveling.
Our guide John, recommended to us by other travelers was outstanding - experienced, aware and a pleasure to spend time with. We talked with him about everything culture, history and more he is a very good spotter. I still do not understand how he could spot what we could not find even when using our binoculars. He left no wish unfulfilled and was a funny and reliable guide as well as a very good and safe driver.
All the accommodations suggested by Boniface were beyond our expectations, more luxury than we hoped. All the meals were tasty and our best was at the Ngorongoro Farm House, the best vegetable soup I have ever tasted.
We have already recommended Leadwood to our friends coming for their honeymoon in December.
If I’m fortunate enough to ever go back to the area, I will of course use them again and can recommend to anyone looking for a great safari and fantastic service.

Best Safari
After getting in contact with several agencies, we chose Leadwood expeditions due to the great reactivity and kindness of Elias, who really helped us to choose the best destinations and accomodations within our budget and wishes.
Everything was perfect and went far beyond our greatest expectations : during our 5 days safari, we could see all the animals that we wanted in Tarangire, Seregenti, Ngorongoro, Manyara Lake.
Our English speaker guide John contributed significantly in the perfection of our experience : he is such a nice person and told us a lot of stories about the animals. He is also a great driver. Thanks to his professionalism, we managed to get very close from amazing animals that we dreamt to see.
Kudos also to the great food that was provided to us for or meals and pic-nics among the monkeys and giraffes.
All the great work performed by Leadwood expeditions for us to have great times and a trip that we will never forget.

Very professional, reliable and organized. Wouldn’t want anyone else to lead a Safari. Amazing
They exceeded my expectations each day with their communication, ideas, knowledge and interest in our group. The Safari was unbelievable and our guide Remi had such a great eye when spotting animals.

The trip of a lifetime and Leadwood made it all possible
The entire team from Leadwoood made this trip more than memorable. Elias, John, Remi, Roger, Tonny, and the rest of the team gave everyone red carpet service! From the first night to the last drop off, the service was totally seamless. They take great pride in their country and it's natural beauty and it shows in everything they say. Every question, no matter how mundane, was answered thoroughly and with a smile. This was my first trip to Tanzania and I didn't realise what a great sense of humour Tanzanian's have. Every member of the team was funny in their own unique way and enjoy a bit of subtle, good natured ribbing. Some of the drives were long and dusty, but never boring. I would go again with Leadwood in a heartbeat!

Outstanding, knowledgeable, caring and flexible
What a magical experience from arrival to departure! I can’t make enough positive comments about my experience in
Tanzania with Leadwood Expeditions. At very short notice, the evening before actually, they went out of their way to arrange a tour that I wanted to do that had not been included in the itinerary. What a team! The drivers/guides had an uncanny ability to find the animals and sights that every person has gone on safari to see, and they do it with class, easily negotiating a line between stopping long enough for those who want to watch a specific animal for hours , and those who want to move on to see other sights.
Their friendliness and attention to detail were outstanding and I would certainly recommend them to anyone considering an African safari.
