5/5

Fantastic experience! Everyone we met was helpful, friendly, and reliable. The tour itself was better than we imagined! We saw all the animals we wanted to see even after picking a shorter safari. The lodge we stayed in was very nice with great service. Would definitely go back and do a longer safari!

Amazing service! We stayed in a great lodge with buffet style food and extremely welcoming staff. Our guide was wonderful and we saw 4 out of the big 5 along with many other animals. He personalized the tour to us and was very flexible. I would definitely want to go back!

Heart of Africa Safari Tours offers unforgettable wildlife adventures with expert guides

An Unforgettable Adventure in Tanzania Thank You, Driver Ephata!

My younger brother and I recently traveled to Tanzania, and it was truly one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. We stayed at Heart of Africa Lodge with Action Team Africa, and everything from the hospitality to the adventure was absolutely perfect.

The cultural experience with the Maasai people was incredible. We learned so much about their way of life, traditions, and values. During the safari, we were lucky to see the Big Five! My younger brother was especially thrilled to see elephants in the wild it was a moment of pure joy for both of us.

We want to give a special thank you to our driver, Ephata, who made this journey even more amazing. He was not only professional and kind, but also incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife from great distances. His knowledge, patience, and passion for nature made the safari unforgettable. At first, I thought I could manage the driving myself, but after seeing Ephata in action, I realized we were in the best hands possible.

The food at the lodge was delicious, and the entire staff made us feel right at home. We are deeply grateful to Out of Africa Classified for organizing this life-changing trip. we had a great time at the swimming pool and the gazebo’s with a beautiful yard garden.

Thank you again, especially to Ephata, for making our dream of experiencing the heart of Africa come true!

A master of adventure with the instincts of a wildlife whisperer and care, knowledgeable of wildlife
5/5

From the moment we landed to the final sunset over the savannah, Heart Of Africa Safari Tours delivered an unforgettable experience that blended seamless organization with exhilarating adventure. The guide and the hosts were not only deeply knowledgeable but clearly passionate about wildlife and conservation, turning every sighting into a rich, educational moment. Their warmth and humor made our group feel like family—whether we were tracking elusive leopards or sharing stories around the campfire.

The accommodations were surprisingly comfortable given how deep into nature we ventured, and the meals were delicious, often accompanied by stunning views. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, making the entire journey feel magical and personal.

If you’re seeking a safari that’s more than just sightseeing—one that connects you to the Tanzanian land, its creatures, and its people—Heart Of Africa Safari Tours is the gold standard. Highly recommended for anyone craving a soul-stirring escape.

Wonderful Experience with Heart of Africa Lodge and Safari Tours

As a solo female traveler, finding a safe and well-organized trip was essential. I love vacations, but planning them isn’t my favorite part. Choosing to stay at Heart of Africa Lodge for a week and letting their team handle the details turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The experienced safari tour guide they provided was an incredible bonus!

From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and professionalism. The team was transparent, accommodating, and always quick to respond to my emails, ensuring I felt comfortable and well-informed throughout my stay. My hotel room was immaculate, offering the perfect, peaceful retreat for a good night’s sleep or a relaxing afternoon nap.

Safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease with their 24/7 security guard on site. The lodge itself felt like a tranquil resort, complete with a beautiful courtyard, delicious cuisines , and the friendliest staff. Every detail contributed to an atmosphere of relaxation and comfort.

I wholeheartedly recommend staying at Heart of Africa Lodge and booking a safari with Heart of Africa Safari Tours. The combination of their exceptional service and the breathtaking experiences they offer made my vacation truly unforgettable. Thank you, Heart of Africa Safari Tours, for an extraordinary adventure!

Forever grateful

5/5

Hearts of Africa was an incredible guide company for safari and I highly recommend them. This was my first safari and I was absolutely blown away by the knowledge and experience of our Hearts of Safari guide, Ephata. He provided so much insight about the topography, the culture, history, the animals, the flora and fauna and so much more during our safari. We would often be the first car at a significant animal sighting or be the first car to move to a better location because of Ephrata’s patience and knowledge of the animals and the different parks. He is always watching and observing.

Throughout each of the various parks we travelled other guides talked with Ephata, asked questions and it was clear they respected him. Significantly, he quickly surmised what part of the safari experience was most important to each member of our group and he would look out for us and make sure we all maximized our travel experience, even though we did not uniformly agree what was our goal. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable, he is also a warm and a kind person. Hearts of Africa was an exceptional experience and I unqualifiedly recommend them. I will be back soon.

An Unforgettable Journey Rooted in Purpose
5/5

Having previously explored the African wilderness with Heart of Africa Safari Tours and Lodge alongside my children, I was already well-acquainted with the exceptional service and transformative experiences they offer. On this occasion, I had the pleasure of introducing my fiancé to the magic of a Heart of Africa safari—and it proved to be the most memorable trip yet.

From the moment we arrived, the professionalism and warmth of the team were unmistakable. Every detail was meticulously arranged, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience. The staff’s deep knowledge of the landscape and wildlife, coupled with their genuine hospitality, created an atmosphere that was both informative and deeply welcoming.

Beyond the thrilling game drives and the comfort of the thoughtfully designed accommodations, what truly sets Heart of Africa apart is its unwavering commitment to community empowerment and sustainability. Their initiatives to support local villages, promote conservation, and foster education reflect a profound sense of responsibility and respect for the region and its people.

Traveling with Heart of Africa is more than a safari—it is an immersion into the soul of the continent, led by those who know and love it best. For travelers seeking an experience that is not only breathtaking but also meaningful and ethical, Heart of Africa remains my unequivocal recommendation.

Heart Of Africa Safari Tours is a very nice operator with a lot of knowledge and enthusiasm.
5/5

This fantastic trip is unforgettable. We drove through the beautiful parks with the family and got to meet all the beautiful animals that were on my wish list.
We had nice hotels and it was fun with the guide who drove us around everywhere. He knew a lot to tell and was always in a good mood. It was nice to be well informed during the trip, because there was so much to experience and see. Overwhelming. Too bad to have to say goodbye after two weeks.
After the Safari we spent a few more days on Zanzibar.
In short, a dream of a holiday.
