Genuine guys, entrepreneurial spirit, above and beyond service, treat you like family.
I can't recommend Hekima Safaris enough. Elieza was amazing from the beginning. He answered questions, followed my travels on facebook, and we talked a lot about photography. I consider him a good friend after the experience. Everything about the safari was flawless. We even went out and enjoyed Arusha a bit beforehand. The guys are business oriented and good at what they do, but more importantly, they are passionate. They give off an incredible energy and you know you're in good hands.

Review about Chobe National Park by Wolfgang Stark
Amongst the largest amount of African Elephants in Africa, amazing seeing the diverse range of animals (hippos, crocodiles, birds, Kudu) scattered through them. Lovely scenery as well, being on almost an island. The river cruise was a highlight and the game drive was also great, we saw a Lion!.

The Okavango Delta is simply beautiful, full of lush swamps and amazing scenery.
The wildlife features a large array of birds and crocodiles amongst other animals but these two were the most prominent and especially because you can't see them that easily in other places. The weather was perfect, we were there in August so it was roughly 25 with no mosquitos and nice and sunny. The transportation and guides were perfect, we went in a Jeep to the island and it was easy and efficient. The highlights were definitely seeing a local guide start a fire with some sticks as well as learning about how they use a tree to make alcohol. The main highlight was rowing through the delta in an old school canoe, it was incredible and one not to be missed. I wish I could attach photos but I do not think this is an option.

The Lion King Live
The Safari with Soul of Tanzania was a unique experience we will never forget. The wildlife was amazing. The tented camps in the Serengeti NP were unbelievable, like moviesets. Our guide Amani did a great job. Always showed us everything we asked for. Soul of Tanzania offers highclass private safaris. The guides take totally care of the customers, you always get warm lunch in the middle of the Serengeti and they try to find lonely roads for your private safari feelings without the other tourists.

It has very beautiful wild national reserves.
There is a wide variety of wild lifes there to see, but if you can see them depends on your luck. Budget accommodation could be really basic, and please get prepared physically and emotionally. Hotel is pretty much the same as anywhere else. Food is really good, if you like spices or Indian inspired cuisine. Western food can always be found in hotels or lodges. Road to Maasai Mara is bad, bumpy and dusty, and to Amboseli is a disaster. In general I had a really good experience here.

A fantastic family vacation in a beautiful country.
We chose a great time to visit Kenya and the Masai Mara Reserve. The annual migration was in progress and thousands of animals to see. The weather was beautiful! Perfect for game drives at all hours. Our guide and driver was very knowledgeable of the animals and the parks we visited. He made sure we got the best locations for photo opportunities. We chose to experience staying in a guest camp and were very satisfied with the accommodations. We really enjoyed the whole experience as a family even more that we expected.

Review about Botswana by Wolfgang Stark
Botswana is one of the most incredible places to visit, amazing safari parks and a general high standard of service and accommodation. My favourite place out of the 4 countries I visited (South Africa/Namibia/Zimbabwe).
A must destination for anyone interested in a safari destination
When the first question your guide asks is 'what would you like for sundowner drinks?' and the second is 'what do you want to see?' - you know that the service level will be high. Kwara and Lebala luxury camps delivered on exceptional service and fantastic food with a smile. 5 days of action packed morning and afternoon safaris with lots of wildlife. Light planes between camps meant little downtime. Botswana was the first of our 3 safari destinations and it ranks 1 for all of the above. I can only highly recommend as a holiday destination.

Great safari, great company, great guide!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our Tanzanian safari. We visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park including the northern part near the Mara river, and Ngorongoro crater. All of the accommodations were excellent. The Simba lodge had a watering hole right next to it where we saw elephants, zebras, warthogs, and storks. The tented camps in the Serengeti were very comfortable and close to the animals, including one night with a Hippo munching on grass right by our tent! Our guide, Jamal, was awesome! He knew where to find the animals and was also quite knowledgeable about birds. We saw 40 different animals and more than 90 kinds of birds. We saw the big 5 and much much more. Some of the highlights were:
the massing of many different kinds of animals at the Tarangire river
spotting the African Wild Dog (Cape Hunting Dog) an endangered and very rare species
viewing lots of animals at the watering hole next to the Simba Lodge
seeing a large pride of lions comprised of 2 males, 4 females, and 13 cubs
a mother lion nursing her 7 cubs (she also carried one around in her mouth)
3 wildebeest migrations across the Mara river
2 female lions stalking and killing a zebra right in front of our eyes
Spotting a rhino up close
