Everything was organized to its perfection!
We booked the 7 day Mount Meru and Safari experience with Incredible Africa Adventures and we couldn’t be happier to have done so!
Octavian always answered all of our emails so fast and detailed, that made the organization so easy and we always felt in good hands!
Everything was so smooth from the moment he picked us up from the airport in the middle of the night until sending us off to Zanzibar!
Mount Meru: our guide Raphael, chef Stephen, waiter Jonathan, summit porters Baraka and Silon and the other 2 porters were the most amazing crew for the hike accompanying us with their passion, all time best mood, support, every-time attention to its smallest details, we truly felt so taken care of!! We asked for vegan food and our expectations were exceeded by far! I am so jealous of Stephen’s cooking skills!!
Safari: our guide Chris took us for the safari to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire and managed to find us very close animal encounters while explaining us all the details about these amazing animals!
We had the pleasure and luck to bring our amazing chef along once more!
Incredible Africa Adventures is a small local team that share their passion and enthusiasm about their own country!
It was such a pleasure to spend the time with the team, we had a true blast! There is nothing else to say then THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!

A Truly Heartfelt Safari – Beyond Our Expectations
We just returned from the most memorable safari with Serengeti Wakanda, and I can say without hesitation—it was the trip of a lifetime.
From the start, our tour consultant was extremely responsive and helpful, not only answering all our questions but also giving us advice on what to expect, what to pack, and even what to wear for the balloon safari! It gave us peace of mind before arriving.
Our guide Andrew was simply phenomenal. His knowledge of wildlife, ecosystems, and animal behavior was on another level. He spotted a leopard lounging in a tree from an unbelievable distance and shared so many interesting facts over dinner each night. His passion for wildlife made every game drive exciting and educational.
Being vegetarian, we were a bit unsure about the food options—but wow, were we impressed! Every lodge—Marera Mountain View Lodge, Signature Serengeti Camp, and Masek Lodge—offered delicious and creative vegetarian meals. We were truly well-fed and cared for.
A special highlight: we celebrated Father’s Day at Signature Camp, and they surprised us with a beautiful cake. It was such a thoughtful gesture that touched our hearts.
We were lucky to see a wide variety of wildlife: lions with cubs, elephants with calves, the Great Migration, even a rhino in Serengeti, which was a huge surprise! Our early morning game drives were filled with magic—and the balloon safari was absolutely breathtaking.
Our vehicle was clean, comfortable, and always stocked with water, wine, and beer—such a nice touch. We even witnessed Andrew assist other guides whose vehicles were stuck or broken down. It was heartwarming to see that level of camaraderie.
We also met other guides from the Wakanda team along the way, and the sense of family and unity among them was so clear. It’s no surprise that the entire trip felt warm, genuine, and incredibly well organized.
Highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda—for their professionalism, kindness, and passion. You won’t just go on a safari—you’ll feel like part of their extended family.

our Dream-Safari, organized by Allen Tanzania Safari
To begin with the summary: we would love to return to Tanzania, and IF we do, we will lay all organization in the hands of Allen Tanzania Safaris!
Why? We planned to do a 10 day Safari tour combining national parks offering the best chances to encounter the vast variety of animals, and also we wanted to experience some culture and finally we wanted to visit friends/colleagues who work in the Serengeti, before spending some days at the beaches of Zanzibar Island.
THAT is a lot of organizing to do, combining all of these elements... we chose Allen Tanzania Safaris by recommendation of a colleague who used work in Tanzania and recommended the company as being very professional and reliable and trustful.
And with our journey, we found all of these aspects confirmed added by a very sympathetic note from Eve, the owner of the company, who was always there for us in case we need assistance - and in Tanzania it seldomly goes exactly by the original plan ;-)....
Of course the driver is a very important factor for such a long journey including many days of game drives, and we felt safe in the hands of Emmanuel Makundi, who drove us throughout the 10 day journey, and we learned a lot from all his experience of the animals, of the country and the people (and we had good fun with him, thanks a lot, Makundi!! ;-)). Thanks to his intuition, we spotted so many animals, and on many occasions we were lucky enough not to be in a group of 20 or 30 cars surrounding the animals, but having a very private and individual encounter.
That was worth so much!!
We were very happy having chosen a local company for the organization of our trip... for various reasons.
First, we were happy to see that the money we were "investing" in our trip benefits the local economy and people from Tanzania directly - that gave a very good feeling.
Second, Eva was ALWAYS addressable for our needs when we wished to contact her.
Third, Eva's vast experience in organizing, being in second generation of doing this family business, which is a service business, and service she provides.
Experience a service orientation mounted in a trip plan that was perfectly well trimmed to our needs - that is what we felt after concluding the trip. We left all the choices for lodges, tented camps and the itinerary to Eva with the sole precondition that it must not be too expensive (despite the fact that we had a private driver and the car exclusively for the 2 of us) and that Ngorongoro is a must and that we would like to stay a a certain lodge there.
As May is still rain season, a lot of people we talked to who have done a similar trip told us it may not be ideal to spot all animals we would have loved to see, as the grass is still high and the animals are not forced to visit the water pools in order to drink, like in the dry season.
As a result, you might need patience and a little luck while doing the game drives, not sticking too much to your expectations to spot the most exotic animals.
Eva and Makundi are very good in transporting the feeling that the "big five" idea is spoiling the true purpose of the trip a little bit - not leaving enough space for enjoying wildlife as it is. We had had the luxury of comfortably long time-spans for our game drives, and we were often lucky, after all.
In May, the environment is still green, which is a comfort to the eye, and also the streets/paths are not so crowded.
On the other hand, with the high grass you might have a complete day of game drive and the only animals you spot are birds and Elephants and Giraffes, apart from the Wilderbeasts and Zebras and Gazelles... Not very probable, but possible...
In the end we did Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Ndutu, then we spent 2 days at Fort Ikoma visiting our friends, and we ended the Safari trip with a full day of game drive in Serengeti ... the itinerary of Eva and the way Makundi did it, left us enough time and we never had the feeling having to rush from one spot to the other... In the end, we spotted al animals we intended to spot, and so many more.
Elephants and Giraffes and Lions in Tarangire, Black Rhinos in Ngorongoro, Serval Cats and Caracals in Ndutu (a most beautiful lodge there) Hippos, Cheetahs and Leopards (and many Lions) and again a Serval Cat in Serengeti.
The most impressive experience was not one of these single encounters, it was witnessing the miracle of the great migration, and the fact that Tanzania and Kenia are hosting this unique journey of the ungulates within an intact and preserved ecosystem. A unique and impressive experience.
For Zanzibar Island, May might really be not ideal do to the fact that rain requires clouds, and without the sun, beach and water are not always being perceived in the most brilliant way... Anyway, for a number of reasons we are happy to have been there, but will probably not return there...
After 2 weeks, we returned safely to Germany, with our soals and hearts being filled with tons of beautiful impressions and having had so many beautiful experiences.
We for sure want to return to Tanzania (mainland), maybe with family or friends - and if we do, Eva will be the first to contact in order schedule a unique trip ;-)

Most Amazing Safari Adventure in Tanzania
We truly had the most amazing safari adventure in Tanzania with Migration Venture Africa. Everything about the safari was perfectly organized, and we ended up having the time of our lives. The trip went smoothly from the moment we arrived at KIA, through the parks, to our departure last Tuesday. What made the trip special was the attention to detail in every aspect of the journey (transport, lodges, permits, activities, game drives......) Nothing was left to chance; everything was well taken care of. Our guide, Peter, was kind and sincerely concerned for our safety and enjoyment. We had a fantastic experience and confidently recommend Migration Venture Africa for safaris based on our wonderful experience.

Amazing experience, highly recommend Meijo Safaris
The experience was absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. Meijo Safaris were so helpful for arranging everything from the start and providing multiple options for the trip. They were very responding to our questions and worryings after the booking which is a true mark of professionalism. The safari was exceptional and memorable and this is in big part thanks to our AMAZING guide Michael. He was a master in spoting the wildlife and taking us to the best spots. He was kind, helpful and with great experience which was appreciated. I greatly recommend booking trough Meijo Safaris for a unforgettable trip!
