GREAT, best week in my life so far.
This was truly the best week of my life, and a huge thank you to our guide, Emmanuel.
He was incredibly professional, helped us handle unexpected situations (including some very determined monkeys trying to steal our food!), and somehow always knew where to find the animals. Thanks to him, we got amazing close-up views of lions, leopards, and so much more.
The safari exceeded all my expectations, and I highly recommend Emmanuel to anyone visiting Tanzania.
And somehow, during this trip, I even got the girl. Best week of my life! 😄 Thank you, Emmanuel, for making it so unforgettable.

You are so nice and we will miss you!
Very nice! We are here for our honeymoon. We have enjoyed very thoughtful service here. The hotels and itineraries recommended to us by West Wild are very suitable. The daily schedule is not too rushed and there is always a sense of freshness. I recommend everyone to choose.

Wild West made our Tanzania dream trip unforgettable from Arusha coffee, safari to Kilimanjaro!
We had an amazing tour with Wild West, including a coffee tour in Arusha, safari adventures in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire, plus a Kilimanjaro day hike. Every day brought incredible surprises: the Big Five, families of elephants, giraffes, zebras, baboons, and even wildebeest crossing the river. Our safari guide, Octavian, was awesome. He shared fascinating stories about animals, local tribes, and his own life, making the trip feel personal and meaningful. He was extremely knowledgeable and experienced, always knowing where to find animals and how to give us the best views. Truly unforgettable!

Great planning and wonderful safari guide
We had an amazing experience with West Wild and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania.
From the beginning, they were very thoughtful and patient in helping us plan the trip. They worked with us closely to create an itinerary based on our schedule, budget, and the places we really wanted to visit. Before the trip, they were always quick to respond to our questions, and once we arrived, they continued to check in with us from time to time to make sure everything was going smoothly.
The best part of the trip was definitely our guide, Octavian. He was truly outstanding. He knows so much about safari, Tanzanian history and culture, and the traditions of different tribes. He also speaks English, Chinese, Swahili, Chagga, and Maasai, which made the whole experience even more impressive and enjoyable. He was funny, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable.
Octavian was also excellent at finding animals. He understood their habits very well and knew the best times and places to look for them, which made our safari experience unforgettable. He was absolutely the highlight of our trip.
Overall, West Wild provided great communication, reliable service, good value for money, and a very memorable tour. We are so glad we booked with them and would definitely recommend them.

This tour company offers incredibly thoughtful and thorough service. During the safari, we had to ad
This is an excellent plan. Our guide Johnny is an outstanding driver who’s great at spotting wildlife. He knows animal behaviors inside out and can even predict their movements, which allowed us to witness countless breathtaking moments. I highly recommend this tour company.
very responsible
During this safari, I witnessed many animals crossing the river three times. The guide was excellent, diligently searching for animals, and the entire hotel was very comfortable, making it an unforgettable experience.
Wang is patient and thoughtful, wonderful safari with cozy accommodation all the way
Our safari trip arranged by West Wild was absolutely fantastic. Our guide George was extremely patient, careful and professional throughout the whole journey. Every day’s hotel accommodation was comfortable and satisfying. We witnessed the great wildebeest migration smoothly, and this unforgettable African safari experience exceeded all my expectations. Highly recommend this travel agency to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania.

Never miss any animals. Guide is considerate and patient. Stay in great camps
We live in great camps every day. The guide has great sight and can find all animals we want to see. Never miss any animals. Our guide Temba is very considerate and patient, willing to help us. What can I expect more? The price is rational.

Highly responsible, well organised, and hegenuinely exceeded our expectations
Before booking, I spoke to probably 10 to 20 different safari companies, and West Wild was the easiest one to communicate with. They actually listened to what I wanted instead of repeatedly trying to sell me a standard itinerary. That may sound like a basic requirement, but after speaking to so many operators, I realised it is not as common as you might expect. This was one of the main reasons I eventually chose them.
For example, I did not want to take a small domestic flight, so I asked whether the original route could be changed. They understood my concern straight away and quickly came back with a better alternative. They also explained clearly which days would involve longer drives and which days would be easier, so I knew what the itinerary would actually be like before making a decision. They did not just show me the most attractive parts of the plan, and I could tell that they understood the route well.
They were also very organised during the booking process. They explained which hotels were the hardest to secure, which ones needed to be booked first, and how the rest of the reservations should be arranged. The whole process was clear and logical, rather than feeling rushed or confusing.
Before the trip, they told me that they usually try to provide more service than clients expect. To be honest, because I had never worked with them before, I was not completely sure whether this was just something companies say when they are trying to get a booking. I remained a little doubtful until the trip actually started, but in the end, they really did follow through.
The clearest example was when Kenya Airways left my suitcase behind in Kenya. This had nothing to do with West Wild and was not really their responsibility, but they still kept following up for me. They were helping to track the luggage at around 3 a.m., and they were answering calls again at 6 a.m. They monitored the next flight, contacted people on the ground and kept pushing for updates until the suitcase finally arrived. That was when I really felt that they were reliable and genuinely willing to do more than they had to.
The trip was also very good value for money. All of the hotels were of a high standard, and one of the luxury safari lodges was especially memorable and became one of the highlights of the trip. Before booking, I compared quotes from quite a few other companies. For similar itineraries with hotels of roughly the same standard, many of them were around USD 1,000 to 2,000 more per person, and sometimes even more. West Wild’s pricing was much more straightforward. I did not have to spend a long time negotiating back and forth just to reach a reasonable price, which made the whole process much easier and saved a lot of time.
Overall, the trip was well planned, the communication was easy, and the service was genuinely better than I had expected. I was cautious at the beginning because we had never worked together before, but by the end of the trip, I felt that they had earned my trust.
