Adventure Beyond Words
Organized with my brother almost by chance, this was the most exciting experience we have had so far. Heart of Serengeti ARTS was able to meet all our needs and gave us an experience that was absolutely mind-blowing. Despite our delayed flight, Geofrey Mapina had arranged for a staff member to patiently wait for us at the airport. From that moment on, we were welcomed with warmth and care, surrounded by a growing sense of wonder and excitement.
All the staff we encountered were incredibly helpful, welcoming, and kind, from the team at Siafu Lodge with its breathtaking view over Lake Manyara to the staff at every tented lodge and campsite we stayed in during the safari.
We would especially like to thank Kennedy, our guide throughout the safari, who accompanied us on our journey through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro with absolute excellence. Always ready to answer our questions in detail, he conveyed to us the beauty of a wild land, rich not only in animals, but also in lush greenery, culture, and tradition. Kennedy created a wonderful bond within our group and made our trip unforgettable.
We feel incredibly lucky to have met such amazing people and to have seen so many animals in their natural habitat, learning about their habits and the land they call home.
For anyone who wants to experience the same emotions we did, we highly recommend organizing your trip with Heart of Serengeti ARTS and asking to be accompanied by Kennedy on your safari.

Life Changing Adventure with Heart of Serengeti ARTS
We had a truly wonderful safari trip from start to finish. Even before booking, all our questions were answered quickly and thoroughly, which already gave us a great feeling about the whole experience.
Upon arriving in Tanzania, we were picked up exactly as agreed. Everyone from Heart of Serengeti ARTS we met was incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming.
The accommodations throughout the trip were all excellent, and the food was amazing everywhere, including the lunches on the road. But the absolute highlight was the game drives in the different national parks.
Our guide, John, has an incredible depth of knowledge about the animals, plants, and the region, as well as the traditions and culture of Tanzania. He shared so much with us in a clear and engaging way, and we learned a great deal. John always knew the best spots to view wildlife, and thanks to his expertise, we often found ourselves right where the animals crossed near our vehicle or in the perfect position to see them at their most active. His passion for the wildlife made every moment magical.
I want to sincerely thank John and the entire Heart of Serengeti ARTS team, especially Geofrey Mpina, for creating such an unforgettable experience. I am already looking forward to returning and booking another safari with them.

Heart of Serengeti ARTS Made Our Trip Unforgettable
Contacting Heart of Serengeti ARTS was much easier compared to other companies we were in touch with while comparing safaris. We decided to stick with them because they were always fast to reply to our emails, answered all our questions with great detail, and of course, their offer was the most appealing.
Geofrey Mpina, the person in charge of our breathtaking experience, picked us up from the airport. Even though our plane was delayed by 4 hours, he was waiting for us with a big smile. We were so impressed with his English and the way he shared stories about Tanzania and its culture. He even took us to try a local dish in Arusha town, and it was absolutely delicious.
During the safari, Kennedy, our guide, was friendly, professional, and knew exactly when to share stories and when to let us enjoy the silence of the parks. His knowledge of animals, birds, and trees made each day exciting and unforgettable. Our chef, Dulla, prepared delicious vegetarian meals every day, and there was always plenty of food, wine, juice, water, and beer to enjoy.
During our 6-day camping safari, Geofrey even arranged for us to stay 2 nights in a lodge, outside of the original itinerary, and we were so grateful for that thoughtful gesture.
We will never forget this incredible experience. Ahsante sana!
We would definitely recommend Heart of Serengeti ARTS!

A Journey That Changed Our Hearts Forever
12 of us, my cousins and closest friends, recently traveled to Tanzania for a once in a lifetime 5 day safari across Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire with Heart of Serengeti Arts, and even now, it feels impossible to put into words just how deeply this journey touched our hearts. It was not just a trip. It was pure, unforgettable magic.
From the very beginning, our communication with Geofrey was exceptional. He guided us through every detail, arranged our Fly in and out of Zanzibar package perfectly, and made the entire experience feel effortless. Every transfer, every schedule, every moment was organized with such care that all we had to do was enjoy the journey, and what a journey it was.
Our game drives felt like stepping into a living dream. We saw four of the Big Five up close, along with countless other animals roaming freely across the savannah. What made these sightings truly extraordinary was our guide Kennedy. His knowledge was endless, his patience remarkable, and his love for wildlife was something we all felt deeply. Kennedy did not simply take us on a safari. He brought the savannah to life. Every sunrise felt like a new chapter being written just for us. Between the awe inspiring encounters, we laughed, we sang, and we danced to Hakuna Matata every single day. These joyful moments are memories we will hold onto forever.
Our accommodations were outstanding. The staff treated us with such warmth, preparing delicious vegetarian meals without onion and garlic throughout the trip. This thoughtful attention to our dietary preferences made us feel appreciated, respected, and truly cared for.
One of the most unforgettable moments was how the team helped us celebrate our wedding. They created a private, romantic dinner at Arukore Simba Camp in the Serengeti, an evening so beautiful and emotional that it felt like time itself stood still. And then came our Indian wedding photoshoot in the heart of the Serengeti wilderness. It was surreal, a breathtaking blend of color, culture, love, and the endless African landscape. A moment that lives forever in our hearts.
A very special thank you to Aishwarya, whose warmth and dedication made everything flow with ease. She captured the most stunning photographs, each one filled with emotion, beauty, and the magic of the moment. Every time we look at them, we relive the journey all over again.
To anyone dreaming of a safari in Tanzania, Heart of Serengeti Arts will not simply plan a trip for you. They will create an experience filled with joy, care, and memories that will stay with you for a lifetime. They create connection. They create magic. They create stories you will cherish forever.
For us, this was more than a safari.
It was love, laughter, nature, and friendship woven into five days we will never forget.

An excellent experience!!! We couldn't had a better guide
Kennedy was our guide during the 5 days we stay in Tanzania, and couldn’t be better!! A plus for us was that he speaks Spanish, so we could learn a lot with him.
We saw the 5 bigs and all the Safaris were incredible.
It was a good choice, and next time, we will definitely repeat.
Muchas gracias rafiki.

Kennedy is the best guide you could ever ask for.Experienced, polite, welcoming .
We have been to safari many times.
This time we met a well experienced guide and an excellent driver - we were in the rainy season the roads were very slippery and difficult but Kennedy was excellent. He spotted animals and taught us about them.
We learned a lot about the animals from him.
He drove for long distances and hours to meet our needs.
I will never forget this safari trip for as long as I live.
I will surely come back and try to book the trip with him.
Thanks again for making our safari trip a memorable trip!!!!

Comprehensive knowledge completed with good spirit and professional attitude. Kennedy is amazing!
Incredibly recommended. Our guide was very organized and bright, built an amazing a trip of a lifetime we will never forget. He had unbelievable knowledge of everything we encountered during our trip - fauna, flora, history and even archeology of Tanzania. There was no question he did not have an answer to and that is such an asset when visiting a country and continent we didn't know much about. Plus he was always kind, bright, fun and great to have around. We could feel our experience was truly important for him and he went above and beyond to keep us happy, well-fed and always on our way to another adventure! Such a rare professional.
