A vibrant and charismatic guide eager to exceed all standards and create unforgettable experiences.
Leo and Charles are undoubtedly the best team in Tanzania safaris. I reached out to them inquiring about a unique itinerary on a difficult timeline and not only did they jump to make it happen for me but they ensured every step was perfect and full of life-lasting memories. They were extremely communicative and accommodating in the lead up and made sure all lodging and schedules suited me perfectly. As a regular female solo traveler, I’m used to all manner of guides but having one of the first female Tanzania park guides and overall powerhouse like Leo was a real treat and made me feel very safe. She was an absolute blast to spend several days with and was far more agile and attentive to my interests than any other guide I had in Africa. She didn’t just make sure I saw my Big 5 and favorite animals, she’d actively adapt our plans or find new things she thought I’d enjoy, and she also taught me a lot about the life, culture, and history. Leo’s even working to empower other young girls in the region among other charitable causes. There are truly no better people to help make your journey special. Leo and Charles certainly made mine a bucket list trip. Can’t wait to return with friends and family in tow!

Moshi Town and foothills on a bicycle - unforgettable experience and an excellent service
I booked a cycling trip ahead from home. We exchanged emails and I specified my wishes and ideas. I was picked up from the hotel at the appointed time. The owner of SafaribyLeo - Leokadia came and said hello herself. My guide Charles was incredibly friendly and I felt welcome and cared for from the beginning. He went above and beyond taking photos throughout the trip and was ready to answer all my questions. His knowledge of the history, current affairs, everyday´s lives of locals etc was outstanding. Charles tailored the ride to my wished, needs na physical abbilities. I spent a half day in a breathtaking surroundings learning a lot about Tanzania. In the evening, we went to the city centre, visited a panoramic restaurant to see Moshi in its full beauty, went to local markets and other interesting sites. I wanted to buy some souveniers and Charles took me to the shops and helped me with my shopping.
Safari by Leo is an agency I would surely recommend . The experience, the professionalism and the caring they show, makes you feel safe and happy. Again, Charles is super friendly and makes you feel at home, he provides excellent service and make a great effort to meet all your needs.

Knowledgeable and Hospitable
Early February 2023, I went on a 5 day Safari to Serengeti,Tangarire and Ngorongoro Crater.
Charles and Leo were so awesome from first day. They picked us up at the airport ,toured us as a family. Leo,the female driver was so excellent. She would now and again stop by to show us the animals. She would also answer on all questions posed on her in regards to the animal's
behavior and all that. We saw the big five.
I would highly recommend them as a small business. I shall quickly engage them in my next tour.

The best safari guide that we could ask for. Excellent English, excellent humor, excellent knowledge
The day after our Kilimanjaro hike, Leo picked us up in the morning from our hotel. Even at such a last minute booking, she came fully prepared: fully dressed, plenty of spare tires, books of the wildlife, high quality binoculars to share etc. in her heavy duty land cruiser. The roof fully opened up so we could get a perfect view of the animals.
Leo did a marvelous job in instructing us when to be quiet and when not to move within the vehicle. As a result, we were able to be in the middle of a herd of elephants with babies coming as close as three feet away from us.
Leo had the answers to all the questions we had. If not, she would make sure that she would re-study her books and have the answer by the end of the day.
We saw all the animals we wanted to see, and even taught us local legends and singalongs and animal quiz on some of our long drives. I have been on one other safari in Africa but this one in Tanzania was far more superior. Highly recommend.
