Beyond a Safari - A Life-Changing Family Experience!
We just finished our safari with Le Kobe Adventures, and we are still speechless. From start to finish, the organization was phenomenal and flawless.
Our guide, Jeff (famously known as Mr. Happy Happy), was the heart of this trip. The kids absolutely adored him! He has "Hawk Eyes" – he can spot animals from miles away and seems to have a sixth sense for feeling exactly where the wildlife will be.
Thanks to his expertise and passion, we managed to see all of the Big 5! But for us, it’s actually the Big 6, with the amazing Jeff being the 6th member. His energy, kindness, and knowledge made this an experience our family will cherish for a lifetime.
If you are looking for a perfectly organized safari with a guide who truly feels the wild, look no further than Le Kobe Adventures and ask for Mr. Happy Happy.
Asante Sana, Jeff!

3 night/4 day fly in safari
We had a wonderful experience with LeKobe Adventures from start to finish. The entire safari was very well organized, smooth, and enjoyable, allowing us to fully relax and take in the incredible surroundings.
A special thank you to our tour guide, Philippo, who truly made the trip memorable. He was extremely nice, professional, and always made sure we were comfortable and having a great time. His positive attitude and knowledge added so much to the overall experience.

The Big 5 in the Southern Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater
We opted for a private (2 person), mid-range, fly-in and fly-out safari from Zanzibar. This was our first time on safari (and East Africa) so our goal was to immerse ourselves in the overall experience and hope to catch the Big 5. The tour we selected targeted the Southern Serengeti for calving season, along with the Ngorongoro Crater. Our trip planner from Le Kobe was Agness and she did a great job of communicating with us over WhatsApp as well as meeting us in person at our Zanzibar hotel for a quick briefing the day prior.
We were picked up from our hotel at 6am and taken to the Zanzibar airport for a quick, one-hour flight to Arusha with a commercial carrier. Upon arriving in Arusha, we were immediately transferred to our bush plane for an additional one-hour flight (on a Cessna Grand Caravan) to the Ndutu Airstrip in the Southern Serengeti.
After locating our driver, the legendary Floridi we were immediately on a game drive. The Landcruiser came fully stocked with: coolers of bottled water, soda, beer, binoculars, fly-swatters, etc. And within 5 minutes of jumping in his Toyota Landcruiser, we were on Antelopes, Zebras, Giraffes, Elephants, etc. There is really no way to describe how fast the animals appear - and that is because you land on a dirt airstrip and as soon as you leave, you are in the Serengeti wilderness - immediately on game!
After a 6-7 hour game drive, we arrived at Sero Tented Camp (https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g24081720-d25335705-Reviews-Sero_Tented_Camp-Seronera_Serengeti_National_Park.html). We had plenty time for buffet dinner, but we were both pretty tired from the very long day. After eating, we took hot showers and within 90 minutes we were sleeping. But, at 3am we were awoken to the grunts of lion. At first, they were a few hundred meters out, but after a few minutes, the grunts were closer. So our camp site security (local Maasai) went on patrol to clear the area and we got a few more hours of sleep. HINT: the tented lodges are really nice, they have: running water, shampoo and soap, power outlets, clean linens, flush toilets, etc. but you are pretty close to everyone. So the noise can travel quite easily through the canvass tents and as 1 or 2 cell phone alarms go off at 5am, everyone tends to get up. Buffet breakfast was had and we checked out of Sero Tent at 730am to begin day number 2 of the Southern Serengeti.
As we finished our time in the Serengeti, we had already seen 3 of the Big 5 (Leopards - we saw 2; Lions and Lionesses - we saw 2 of each, and Elephants - solo bulls). It was now time to make the trek to Ngorongoro Crater, a few hours drive Southeast. Our awesome guide packed us a bush lunch and we stopped along the way for an unforgettable picnic. That evening we arrived at our second location, the Ngorongoro Safari Lodge (https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g317085-d2265172-Reviews-Ngorongoro_Safari_Lodge-Ngorongoro_Conservation_Area_Arusha_Region.html). This place felt completely different from Sero Tent. These were hard structures, built on stilts and sitting up in the tree canopies. While there is in-fact a canvass tent, each one is under a metal frame giving you added protection from the elements. From our room, we had a view of Lake Eyasi and because we arrived here early (5pm) we had plenty of time to take hot showers and enjoy happy hour - and the restaurant buffet.
The next morning was day 3. We started very early with 6am breakfast and were on our way to the crater by 630am. The drive was very cool, especially seeing all the Maasai villagers herding their goats and cattle after sunrise. As we approached the crater rim, we were taken back by the vastness of this incredible landscape. I have no method of putting the emotions I felt into words to convey and express to you the sheer scope, scale, size and vivid colors of this formation. You just have to be there. As we descended to the crater floor, we immediately got on Cape Buffalo and Black Rhinos! Yes, we were incredibly lucky, we saw 2 Rhinos along the road within just 30 minutes of being on the crater floor. We spent over an hour parked just watching them and it was surreal. And with that, our quest for the Big 5 was accomplished. We also saw: lions, hippos, wildebeest, zebras, antelope, gazelles, flamingos, ostriches, warthogs, hyenas, etc. The amount of animals we saw in both the Serengeti and Ngorongoro is simply incomprehensible.
A final note of thanks to our driver and guide, Floridi. He was incredibly kind and worked so hard to make our safari amazing. He was genuine and authentic, and had so much knowledge to share with us. Being with him for 3 days was truly a special blessing and he literally made our safari special. We met as strangers and left as friends.

Wonderful memories for life
Our safari experience was nothing short of extraordinary! From the very beginning, Elvis went above and beyond to design a private safari tailored perfectly to our requests. The booking process was seamless and stress-free, and Elvis kept in regular contact throughout. We especially appreciated him taking the time to meet us in person before the trip to walk us through what to expect — it really showed his dedication and professionalism.
Once we arrived in the breathtaking Serengeti, our guide Emmanuel truly made the adventure unforgettable. His deep knowledge of the area and wildlife ensured we experienced the very best of the park. Thanks to his expertise, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five! His eyesight was astonishing — he could spot animals from incredible distances — and his ability to position us perfectly for viewing and photos was remarkable.
Every moment felt thoughtfully planned and expertly executed. The landscapes were stunning, the wildlife encounters were beyond our expectations, and the overall experience felt personal and special from start to finish.
We highly recommend booking your safari with LeKobe Adventures. If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience with exceptional service and knowledgeable guides, this is the team to choose!

Went out of his way to ensure we had a comfortable memorable adventure, and he certainly delivered.
Phillip was an absolutely amazing tour guide. He ensured we were always comfortable regularly checking in on how we were feeling, all while providing us with one of the most memorable adventures of our lives. His knowledge was outstanding and ability to meet our requests and expectations was better than we’d ever thought. We’ll never forget this trip and we owe an incredible amount of that experience to how well Phillip guided us.

An amazing memory for life, worth everting!
From the first email to the last minute of the safari Lekobe was great in all ways. They always responded quick, they did a individually safari-package just for us, they were always contactable and very helpful in whatever we needed.
We got an experience for life during our safari and everything was very well organized. We didn’t have to think about anything, they planed it all, flights from/back to Zanzibar, taxis, hotels etc. Even at the safari everything was great and we enjoyed every minute of both the accommodations, food, the route etc.
Our guide, Philipo, was also super! He made sure we got what we needed, he was very responded, he always did his best to find all animals and make sure we could see them from a perfect position.
I really recommend Lekobe and Philipo for your adventure, you will definitely not be disappointed.

Very caring and gave it all for our success in all areas from dust to dawn
Only very positive experiences from planning and booking, to transer and accomodation, to food and safari itself.
Tour guide Philipo made his best effort in every situation to make sure we were OK and that we had a fantastic safari experience. We saw the big 5, and many more animals thanks to his efforts and willingness to make it happen.
We are already looking forward to our next adventure with Philipo and Lekobe.

Excellent,
After meeting Lekobe Adventures safaris, I've been in touch with them through WhatsApp and email. They respond quickly and are clear about the safari's progress. Any questions are also answered promptly. On the day itself, everything went smoothly—taxi, plane, and safari. If I ever book something like this again, I'll definitely do so through Lekobe Adventures safaris. Kind regards, the Kouwenberg family from the Netherlands.

Amazing from start to finish
We would highly recommend Lekobe Adventures! We travelled from the UK and booked all our excursions through them — dolphin swimming, safari, Materuni Waterfalls, and Serval — and everything was absolutely perfect.
Mathayo, our operator, was amazing from start to finish. He responded to all our messages quickly, planned our dream safari, and provided several great options so we could tailor the trip exactly how we wanted. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
In Zanzibar, our driver Sulemam was so lovely and always on time, making every journey smooth and stress-free.
In Arusha, our tour guide Philipo was incredible — so knowledgeable about everything, full of fun, and truly made our adventures unforgettable. He made it so hard for us to leave!
Thank you to the entire Lekobe Adventures team for making our experience one we will never forget. Highly, highly recommended!
