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

He was excellent and very professional who knows his job very well with good customer services.
A unique adventure.
The Benson safaris Tanzania are good time keepers. Arrived at pick up point Holili at exactly 7am ready to manoeuvre the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro at the Marangu kilasiya falls. Trekking down hill was a scary but adventurous. Enjoyed the view and the cold waters of the falls.
Thereafter, another interesting site to visit was the chagga caves where the history of the chagga community is unfolded.
The best experience was the chemka spring where the foot massage was out of this world expert 🤣.
Kudos to the Benson safaris for the tour and excellent customer service.
Benson safaris ensured we were safe and both within the hotel room and without.
God bless Benson safaris.

Planning a safari can feeling daunting, but Dancing Zebra was fantastic and handled every detail.
Dancing Zebra was wonderful to work with. Jessica's knowledge of Africa and Tanzania combined with her attention to detail and desire to please her clients, made our experience a 10/10 from start to finish. Just give Jessica an idea of what you're looking for and she will put together an itinerary that exceeds your expectations.
We did an 8-night safari (Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti), plus 3 nights in beautiful Zanzibar at the end of the trip. Every camp/hotel we stayed at was perfectly suited for our needs with good food, excellent service, and luxurious accommodations. Lion's Paw Camp and Siringit Camp were simply spectacular and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The staff at both places will welcome you with smiles and make sure your every need is met. Our safari guide/driver was Robert and he is THE BEST. There is no one else I would trust more to navigate those confusing, complex bumpy, and sometimes muddy roads of the Serengeti. Robert is a walking Wikipedia page of knowledge about the Serengeti and the animals. He made sure we saw EVERYTHING.
As for Zanzibar, I strongly recommend it as a way to wind down and relax after the safari. We stayed at Baraza and it was exceptional in every way. The spa will change your life. It's hard to imagine a more perfect resort anywhere in the world.

Genes is the most amazing tour operator and Kilimanjaro guide.
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was always a dream of mine. I was so fortunate to book my adventure with Genes. He was right beside me the entire climb; encouraging, making sure I was safe, healthy, well hydrated and well fed. What an amazing journey it was, one I will never forget!

Amazing experience!
I had an absolutely incredible safari with Karibu Tena. From start to finish, everything was seamless and beyond expectations. Our tour guide was exceptional—deeply knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the wildlife and landscapes, which made the entire journey even more enriching. The views were nothing short of breathtaking. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I cannot recommend Karibu Tena highly enough.

Unforgettable Safari Experience!
Here is my (long) honest review 😅:
We had a lightweight miscommunication during the planning phase, but it was rectified with a lot of patience and understanding on both ends. The logistics of our entire trip went very smooth, and the fact that they accommodated my request for my husband to join us at the very last minute, is a huge plus (he initially could not join us due to work constraints). Looking back, the miscommunication we had was a tiny issue compared to the amazing experience and memories we left with, thanks to African Big Cats Safari, to Naomi’s promise 😉, and most notably, to our amazing guide, Rick!! We lucked out with such a cool, calm, and collected tour guide who brought out the best of our safari’s action-packed experiences and sightings.
To start with, all of our accommodations were very comfortable and either met, or for most, exceeded our expectations. There really is nothing like the thrill of being surrounded by nature’s wildest animals in the comfort of your cozy tent.
The highlight of our trip was witnessing the Great Wildebeest Migration with seeing more than one crossing in just a two-hour span! It could have been luck, or being at the right place at the right time, but I believe it also takes a committed, knowledgeable, and patient tour guide to place you there. And Rick made that happen for us! We didn’t catch the big 5, but 4 out of the 5 is not bad at all! Seeing the black rhino felt like the ultimate bonus to end our trip on the highest note. We now have that unchecked leopard sighting as more of a reason to come back and hopefully, have Rick again as our guide to help us complete that safari bucket list item.
Good times were definitely had, and we can’t thank you enough for such an amazing trip with meaningful memories to last us a lifetime! Asante sana!

Louis was an amazing tour guide, cheerful very knowledgeable and professiona
Our recent Tanzanian adventure, expertly arranged by Louis at Raven Quest Adventure, was simply incredible. From our smooth arrival, the entire safari portion was flawless: our comfortable, well-equipped safari vehicle ensured excellent game viewing, and our exceptionally knowledgeable guide brought every moment to life with their tracking skills and insights. We were also very grateful for the regular provisions of cool drinks and tasty bites throughout our long game drives. The selected accommodations were all excellent, providing comfort and great locations. Transitioning to Zanzibar for relaxation was seamless, a perfect end to an exhilarating trip. Raven Quest's attention to detail made this a truly memorable journey, exceeding all expectations!

Amazing, professional, and friendly team!
We had such a fantastic time on our trip — it honestly exceeded all our expectations and the entire team went above and beyond to accommodate our wishes. From the initial booking of the trip to our final drop off at the airport, everything was handled with care and professionalism. What really stood out was how flexible and attentive they were, always happy to adjust the schedule or suggest something extra to make the experience even better. Everything felt really tailored to us. The team was not only professional but also genuinely kind and reliable. We’ve come away with memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime. Can’t recommend them enough!
Amazing in depth knowledge
We did a tour of Soweto with David. His knowledge of South Africa and it's history is what makes this tour so interesting.
David was a great guide, who gave us so much information, would highly recommend.
