Agnes from Mercy Africa was very responsive and helpful, made the trip and our transfers very easy!
Agnes and the team of Mercy Africa has been very responsive and helpful during booking stage and the trip itself. My partner and I did the 5-day Safari Experience with comfortable accomodations, which were followed as is on the itinerary sent to us, very organized. Serengeti was surreal and we had a great overall experience. Thanks to our host agency, Mercy Africa.

A Wonderful Trip Hampered by Poor Logistics
Our safari adventure delivered moments we’ll never forget. Every wildlife sighting felt electric, and genuine connections made the journey special. Zanzibar was a standout. The private tour there set a new standard - everything ran seamlessly.
But the Tanzania joint safari brought tough lessons. From the start, our guide poured in relentless effort, steering us past every challenge. The team’s energy never faded. Each glimpse of wildlife kept us moving forward. Then reality hit hard.
On day two, our vehicle’s suspension broke down. We lost a full day in the Central Serengeti - a major letdown. The $100 refund felt like a token, not a solution. Combining our group with others based hours away threw plans into chaos.
Early departures slipped to late mornings due to everyone stayed at different locations that are far away from each other. On Mara River day for the Great Migration, the drive overshadowed the experience.
This isn’t just feedback. It’s a wake up call. If we want more visitors to have unforgettable journeys, Mercy's joint tours need a complete rethink.
Our guide was exceptional, but no one can make magic happen with obstacles like these. Please raise the bar. We hope the next adventure deserves better.

Expectations exceeded
Our safari was well organized from start to finish, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was our guide, Said. If you’re booking with this company, I highly recommend requesting him specifically he made all the difference.
Said was unbelievably knowledgeable about the parks, the wildlife, and animal behavior. He always knew exactly where to take us and somehow positioned us perfectly for the best sightings. We consistently got out early and ahead of the crowds, which made such a huge difference in the experience.
We traveled at the end of January into early February, and it was the perfect time to go. It’s slower season, but still during the Great Migration meaning wildlife everywhere without the peak-season congestion. We saw an incredible number of animals and avoided the busy corners of high season tourism.
It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and a big part of that was having Said as our guide.

Good value for the price of the budget tour.
Our guide “Said”(pronounced Saw-ee-di)was the best. He found all the hard to find animals. His English was very good. Our 6 day safari did not disappoint. If you have to pick one park in February I’d choose the Serengeti! Our guide for the last day was not informed on our itinerary so we almost missed the hot springs which are very beautiful and worth going to. Water was not hot. Air temperature, so great to relax.

Good organized and trustworthy operator
My friend and I did a 5-day safari through Serengeti National Park, Tarangire National Park, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and had an amazing time
Everything was very well organized from beginning to end. Communication was effortless and quick via WhatsApp, and the airport transfer at the start of our trip was smooth and reliable. The price was also very competitive, especially considering the quality of the overall experience.
The lodges throughout the trip were really good, comfortable, and very clean. We were also very happy with the food, which was consistently good during the entire safari.
A special shout-out to our driver and guide, Brighton! He made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire safari and was an excellent driver, even on some of the more challenging roads. His knowledge of the wildlife was impressive. He knew so much about every animal we encountered and was able to answer basically any question we had.
Overall, we had a fantastic time and felt very well taken care of throughout the whole trip. Great organization, excellent value for money, good accommodation and food, and an especially big thank you to Brighton for making our safari such a memorable experience. We would definitely recommend them!

5 stars! Fantastic company
We had a brilliant time with Mercy Africa, I would highly recommend them to everyone. They kept in great communication with us both before the trip and during- making sure that everything was ok for us. The accommodation they chose was beautiful and the food was great. We had a hot lunch every day and we added in alcohol which was a nice touch. Our food appeared much better than lots of the other safari tour guides with some people coming over to ask who our safari company was- because the food looked that good! Our driver Benjamin was fantastic! He made sure that we saw everything that we wanted to and we were able to get great photos. He was friendly and easy to chat too, but also a great driver and we felt very safe. Beatrice and Derek were great! They helped to organise our entire trip for us and even organised a dinner on our last day as our flight had gotten delayed. I also want to thank Shedrack who did our transfer to the airport- he was a great driver and a really nice guy. The entire experience was good value for money. I will be recommending Mercy Africa to all my family and friends.
