Tanzanian Family owned and operated, support local!
This tour operator was probably the best holiday I've ever had. And it was thanks to these guys. I was with my wife and her mother and friend. So we had a mixed group age wise. And they were able to compensate for our needs within the same tour which was great
I met Rickson the owner on the first day and he gave us a clear itinerary. He's such a genuinely nice man, I'm so happy we were recommended this tour group by a friend. But with room to be flexible as the tour unfolded.
He then introduced us to our driver Samwel, another local. He speaks great english french and Swahili. Has an astounding knowledge of animals and birds and local history. And wow he has a good set of eyes, he can spot animals better than you could believe. Thanks to Samwel we saw so much!
Being a Tanzanian owned operation, which is pretty rare, I feel we got a much more genuine experience of Tanzania. And we had the inside scoop for alot of animal sightings.
it seems most of these companies are owned by foreigners. I highly recommend if you can to use this company, not only is it the right thing to do. You will have such a great time!

Awesome! everything worked as planned and we had the best time
Great value for money. Stanley, our guide, was super. He was attentive, and knowledgeable, and was always making sure we were having a great time and enjoying our game drives. We visited, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Lake Manyara. Highly recommend WT&ST. Rickson was always in contact with us via WhatsApp ensuring everything worked as planned. Many thanks for a great trip

Amazing
Super cool and smooth trip with Rick. I never leave reviews unless the experience is exceptionally good or bad. In this case was really cool, travelling with Rick is fun and safe. He told us lots of things about Tanzania, he came with us everywhere, we enjoyed our days with him very much. I could not recommend him more!

Best Safari ever
Safari with Okoa Tours:
We were 3 nights and 4 days with Chef (which means chef) Vitalis and the driver Alifa on the way and it could not have been better, they have a special praise. The smooth email contact in advance was also good.
The only downside, you have to pay the rest of the paid safari in dollars in cash in the office, which led to fees of 45 dollars, because we have no dollar currency in Germany, had to be exchanged in Tazania, which was very awkward on the bank.

Posted on Nov 20, 2019Sorry we also have credit card service in the office at the surcharge of 4% for the Bank transaction. You don't need to carry dollars cash all the way to Africa.

Amazing Safari
We had 9-day safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorogoro and Lake Eyasi. We had a wonderful time and great experience. During those days we saw a lot of animals: leons, elephants, giraffes, bufalos, gnus, ghepards, leopards and many others. Our driver Stanley identified the best locations to see animals and He taught us a lot of things. He's a really good driver and guide. Our italian guide Peter, who speaks a fluent italian, was very nice and and prepared. They helped us to see the animals into the savana or jungle and he supported us during the long trip. We learned a lot of things during this trip.
In addition we spent two days in Lake Eyasi and we met the tribes Datoga and Hadzabe. Great experience. We spent one morning in the bush with the bushmans and we followed them during the huting. We learned how the Datoga tribe build the weapons for the hunting and the tribe daily life.
During the trip we spend 5 nights into a public campsites and our cook Socoime served our a good and abundant plates. He was really kindle and he tooke care of the tends and othes our needs.
Special thanks for Richard Kilonzo and his son Ricky, the offer a really good service and competitive price. The organized a tour in a attentive and precise method and they supported us for all our request or special needs. For example, they adviced us on the best destinations into the safari tour and They hired Peter as italian speach guide in order to sodify our request.

Great company. Great safari guide. I’d highly recommend
Everything went very smoothly. We choose to see 4 parks . The pick up avd drop of Arusha was well organized. The cook had breakfast , lunch and dinner ready for us in a timely manner to make each park drive.
Stanley , our guide and driver , was friendly and much better at spotting the animals than I was. We got to see the big 5 plus plenty of elephants, hippos , birds and antelopes.
I’d definitely recommend this company and will use them again if I manage to get back to Tanzania again.

Wonderful 4 day Safari in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire
I joined a 4 day Safari in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire and was able to watch most of the wild animals I wanted to see. Simba, the driver and the guide, has an excellent experience and knowlege as a guide and can predict the move of groups of animals in Serengeti. Therefore we were able to visit the right spot to see a herd of elephants and wildbeasts cross the road in front of our Landcriscer. With his great knowledge, Simba an explain the detail of animals and geography of Tanzania. Also Richard, the manager of this company, was very quick to respond my questions for deciding this tour. I strongly reccomend this company.

A time to remember with Preigod and Sokofo
We had the best time during our safari experience with Preygod and Sokofo. They were so friendly and assisted us very well during our time in Tanzania. We felt with friends all the time. Preygod was very good guide/driver and encouraged us to enjoy sleeping in the wild. Sokofo’s Food was amazing, being vegetarians he had always lot of options for us.Our experience in Kenya wasn’t that great and they did really changed our perception of the safari and Made us laugh and enjoy the wild of Serengeti and Gorongoro. Thank you for everything!! Amaia and Marco :) xxx

Great driver. Great safari.
My girlfriend and I went to the Serengeti, Ngorogoro crater, and Tarangire. Ngororo crater was our favorite, Serengeit was great, and Tarangire was our least favorite. It was the last day so were were exhausted, and there were a lot of trees that prevented us from seeing more animals. But overall a great experience. We saw so many animals, and I got some lovely pictures. Our driver (Haleefa) was fun to talk to, and knowledgeable about the area / local people / animals. We learned a lot from him.
I have two small complaints that definitely did not ruin the experience, but I hope it can be addressed in future safaris.
Our vehicle broke down and we were stuck for about two hours. This wasn't a catastrophe, because we were near a rest stop, and got help / spare parts easily. But it definitely made us nervous about if it would break down again. I don't know if this was something that could have been avoided or not, so I can't really blame anyone. I just want to make sure the safari people are using the best equipment on the truck that they can.
Our cook on the safari made great food, and always made the same thing for breakfast- omelettes, with toast, fruit, and pancakes. The omelettes were WONDERFUL. The pancakes.... not so much. In the future I hope the cook can make more eggs and fewer bland pancakes.
Aside from that, I really can't think of anything I would change. The game drive was so much fun, and Haleefa did such a good job of getting us close to the animals.
Here are some of the animals we saw on the safari: lions, hyenas, a cheetah, serval cats, a python, hippos, zebras, elephants, wildebeasts, antelope, gazelle, buffalo, lots of birds, monkeys, giraffes, lizards, and a few others I forgot.
