A brilliant guide and one of the kindest humans we know.
The Safari was a dream come true.
Our guide was attentive to so many details, very skilled at spotting wildlife and a very safe driver.
Also a wonderful sense of humour along with a powerful love for the country of Tanzania. We hope we can travel with SWC again. We found great value for money, excellent assistance with bookings elsewhere ( ie Zanzibar) . We highly recommend this company.

Best trip ever with the most fantastic guide in the most beautiful country
It's not the cheapest trip but you definitely get value for your money . Eveything was arranged down to the last detail and we felt very welcome everywhere. The principle 'customer is king' still applies in Tanzania and especially at safari wilderness calls i am a single women with three children, so i found it quite exciting, but for ne it was the most relaxing holiday so far because I didn't have to think about eveything or worry. The country is fantastic, the People are incredibly nice and nature with his animals phenomenal. Our guide has a lot of knowledge and taught me and the children a lot. He was always ready to arrange eveything. This turned out to be a very carefree trip in which we saw everything we wanted to see and did eveything we wanted to do. Truly a Journey to our hearts and one we will never forget.

The vastness of Africa is offered to you to experience safely
The 8-day Safari we had is better described as a lifetime highlight of all trips I ever had. Of the big 5 African animals we watched closely, the leopard was the only single but the others were counted by dozens. The Tanzanian Nat Parks of Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti seems to be the backyard of our guide Willie, as he drove us around those areas with full knowledge of those narrow dirt roads. Visiting a Maaori village and seeing their way-of-life was a great experience. Riding in a hot air balloon over a river with hundreds of hippos and having breakfast in a tented camp with an elephant just a 100 yards away are some of great time we enjoyed thanks to this experienced Safari company and its guide. Asante, bwana Willie!

Unforgettable Safari Experience with the Amazing Willium
From start to finish, our safari was pure magic. Our guide, Willium, turned every moment into something special — his passion for wildlife, deep knowledge of nature, and friendly personality made us feel both safe and inspired throughout the journey. He shared stories and insights that only someone truly devoted to this land could know, and his enthusiasm was absolutely contagious.
The bush camp exceeded all expectations. Our tent was huge and comfortable, with electricity, warm running water, and every little detail thoughtfully prepared — fresh towels, cozy bedding, and a beautiful lounge with a well-stocked bar. The food was outstanding, full of flavor and locally inspired; every meal felt like a treat.
Evenings around the fire felt unreal — stargazing under the endless sky while hearing lions roar in the distance is something I’ll never forget. The entire staff deserves the highest praise. They were exceptionally kind, attentive, and always ready with genuine smiles.
This safari was more than a trip; it was an experience that touched the heart. I can’t wait to return one day — and when I do, I hope to be guided again by Willium.

Incredible experience in Tanzania
We recently finished an incredible six-day safari with Willie and his company, Serengeti Wilderness Calls, and it was truly one of the best experiences of our lives. Our group of seven, including five adults and two children (ages 10 and 7), traveled through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti, and the entire trip was handled with the utmost professionalism. We approached Willie directly on the recommendation of my father-in-law, who had him as a guide 11 years ago, and we found the planning process to be seamless and very well-organized. The lodges and tented camps were all excellent, and the food was high-quality throughout the trip. Willie and his wife, Flora, were incredibly attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed and adapting perfectly to the needs of the children, including being very patient with frequent stops. What truly set this experience apart was Willie’s guiding style. His deep knowledge of the area and professional communication with other guides allowed us to see things we are certain others missed. Furthermore, he is exceptionally respectful of the environment; he always positioned the vehicle with great care to ensure we had a clear view without ever disrupting the animals' natural movements. One member of our group, who has been on three previous safaris in both Kenya and Tanzania, noted that Willie was by far the best guide they have ever had. If you’re thinking of booking with them, please do, you will not be disappointed and we can highly recommend them.
