Great Service
We loved the experience! And with a totally reasonable price for the service given.
Kueka was an excelente guide with lots of knowledge and great conversations. Very reliable (we had doubts before starting, but were always on time).
Is there something to improve ? Yes, I would say they car could be newer or better, maybe som A/C to avoid all the dust of the dry season, but it’s a minor detail: overall we had a time of our lives !

Our tour guide also took us to a souvenir shop, and he kindly told us that we didn’t have to buy any
It was an amazing five days. The hotel we stayed at was especially wonderful — I never imagined I’d be able to stay somewhere so luxurious. The food there was also excellent.
Our tour guide drove us over long, rough roads, and I could tell he had great respect for the animals and the natural environment. While other vehicles drove over the grasslands, he only used existing tracks. He didn’t push too hard to show us animals, but instead kept a respectful distance when we observed them.
One disappointment was that, although he promised to show us the sunset, we never got the chance. He mentioned we’d go at the end of the third day, but perhaps he was tired. After we declined his suggestion to take a hot air balloon tour that morning, he said we’d be heading back home, and we ended up missing the sunset.
When we were watching animals, sometimes he would move the car before we were ready, and while he might have had a good view from the driver’s seat, it wasn’t always easy for us to see. Looking back, we probably should have spoken up more. Still, he wasn’t overly talkative and gave us plenty of quiet time, which suited our temperament quite well.
Our tour guide also took us to a souvenir shop, and he kindly told us that we didn’t have to buy anything if we didn’t want to. He even stopped by a shopping mall for us, which was really helpful. We were also grateful that he adjusted the departure time to suit our schedule.
When another tour guide fell ill, he immediately went to help, and seeing that act of kindness really moved me. His car was a bit older compared to others, but honestly, I don’t think there’s anywhere else you could have such a wonderful experience for this price. When I searched in Japanese, the tours I found were much more expensive and offered lower-grade hotels.
The operator we contacted before departure was also excellent — they kept in close touch with us and suggested changing our original 4-day tour to a 5-day one, which made the trip feel truly luxurious. It became an unforgettable experience. I hope more Japanese travelers get to know about this tour.

Well planned & executed 3.5 Days Tour to Serengeti NP, Ngorengoro NP, Tarengine NP, Maturuni Falls
I was looking for 3 days mid-range safari in Tanzania for me & wife, preferably in Northen Circuit. We were open for group joining or private safari; Only the condition was - waned to start safari within 6-8 days, pick-up from Serengeti-Seronera Air Strip on day 1 morning and drop to Moshi on day 3 evening, such that the travel between the stay locations is minimal and obviously the decent stay & vehicle. and good guide.
I had asked quotes from 3 operators on Safari Bookings site and 4 others directly from their website. Few operators declined due to pick-up condition, others provided different itineraries, with varied costing. The itinerary provided by Cornel from Wild Media Safari really caught my attention, because it satisfied all my conditions and also the pricing was competitive. I closed the deal with Cornel after con-call along with my wife, had lots of queries, which he answered clearly and professionally. Itinerary: Day 1 Central Serengeti NP, Night 1 Tukaone Camping Lodge in side park, Day 2 Ngorongoro NP, Night 2 Karatu Villa in Karatu Town, Day 3 Tarangire NP.
Cornel & Jackline met us at Arusha on early morning of Day 1, we paid the balance amount. Then we flew from Arusha to Seronera-Serengity Airstrip (this saved us 6-7 hrs of road travel). Kweka, our guide cum driver of 4x4 Landcruiser picked us at Airstrip @11am and then we started our game drive through Central Serengity, sighted wildlife throughout mostly very closely. Had packed lunch at picnic spot and continued game drive till @6pm. Stayed at Tukaone Camping Lodge inside the park. It's a newly built facility with very good double bed cottage, and good dinner & breakfast spread.
Day 2, we started after breakfast and reached Ngorongoro crater after @3Hrs of drive. Another amazing game drive, sighting animals and other wild life. Had a great experience. Karatu is a nearby Town, where we checked in @7pm in Karatu Villa. It's another newly built facility with really good villas, open area with pool and dining aera. The food was really good with fine-dine experience. Stay was pleasant.
Day 3, morning we stopped at African Art Gallery near Kartu on the way to Tarangire NP. Did experience Tanzanite stone jewellery process from mining to shop, did shop a Tanzanite finger-ring too.. The place is too good, thus we spent more time than planned, but it worth it. Then, we stopped at a Massai Village to experience their life, had a good time @45 mins with them, dance, KG school, hut, fire, kids, cows and handicrafts... Tarangire NP was another good game-drive experience and baobab trees too.. But, because we were late to enter the park, we could spent less time in game drive. However exited on time @5pm and reached Moshi @8pm.
Overall, it was a memorable experience, obviously because of the scenic beauty, wildlife, big 5, another animals & birds, but also because of the well planned and executed safari by Cornel. Specially, the guide Kweka, who took us to right places in park to get close encounters with Lions, Leopards, Cheetas, Elephants, Hippos, Giraffes, Zebras and many more animals & birds. Not only he showed all this wildlife, but also explained about them and parks. He drove safely and comfortably, without rushing.
Thanks to Safari Bookings, for getting connected to Wild Media Safaris. Thanks to Wild Media Safaris, for arranging a wonderful safari. Thanks to Cornel & Jackline for planning, vehicle, accommodation and communication. And Special thanks to Kweka for guiding and safely driving us through parks and to city.
