Excellent, best experience ever!
Great experience with excellent tour operator - We did the 5 days Marangu route with 21 Africa Safari and had the best time! My guide Aloyce was super supportive, the chefs accommodated for my vegan diet, the porters and the whole team was genuinely the best, super friendly. All team did a fantastic job to give us the best experience. Everyday we had our food ready on time the food was so great and we enjoy the meals.
To the team at 21 Africa Safari —thank you from the bottom of our hearts. thank you for your guidance, your kindness, and your hard work. You turned what could have been a daunting challenge into an unforgettable journey filled with laughter, warmth, and unforgettable moments. We can’t wait to return to Tanzania and create more memories with you.

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Unfulfilled Promises and Unresponsive Service
In November 2024, my friend and I booked a safari experience in South Africa through this agency, including a specific hotel which we carefully selected and paid for. However, once the safari began, we were informed that our chosen hotel was overbooked and we were being relocated to a significantly cheaper and low-budget alternative, far below the standard of what we had paid for.
After discussing the situation with the agency, we mutually agreed to end the safari experience early and receive a refund for the remaining costs. Despite this agreement and repeated follow-ups (at least 20 times), we have yet to receive the refund – it is now April 2025.
We were repeatedly told the refund would be issued "within the next days," but this never happened. The lack of transparency, accountability, and responsiveness is unacceptable, especially given the initial mishandling of our accommodation.
I strongly advise other travelers not to book with this agency. Our experience was not only disappointing but also deeply frustrating, and the ongoing lack of resolution shows a serious lack of professionalism and reliability. Be careful!

Great journey
We had an amazing experience with Leken adventure.
The guide and staffs were so nice and the food incredible! They lead us to the top pole pole (slowly slowly) but surely and safely. Moreover tasting the Tanzanian cuisine on the top of the mountain make your experience even more enjoyable.
Special mentioned to our guide Athanas, the oldest but strongest
Thanks again

Excellent service, exceeded expectations, definitely using them again
The private tour was perfect. From the pickup, to the game drive where everyone was friendly and offered a lot of information, to the overnight stay, the boat safari...it was a very enjoyable two days. This was a budget tour but it exceeded expectations. This will definitely have to be redone in the future.

Unforgettable Family Safari Experience with Heart of Africa Safari Tours.
Our family Safari with Heart of Africa Safari Tours was truly the adventure of a lifetime! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized and full of authentic, once-in-a-lifetime experiences. We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five—a dream come true for all of us, especially the kids!
One of the most meaningful parts of our journey was visiting the Heart of Africa Foundation Center. Meeting the girls and learning about the amazing work being done there was deeply inspiring. It added such a powerful and personal touch to our trip, and reminded us of the beauty of giving back.
We also had the chance to visit a Maasai Boma, and it was one of the most fascinating cultural experiences we’ve ever had. The warmth of the community, the traditions, the dancing, and the storytelling made us feel truly connected to the heart of Tanzania.
If you’re looking for a safari that combines incredible wildlife, rich culture, and a chance to make a positive impact, Heart of Africa Safari Tours is the way to go. We came as tourists, but left feeling like part of a bigger family.
Thank you for this unforgettable journey—we’ll treasure these memories forever.

Fantastic safari!
We had a fantastic safari with Kubwa Five! Our safari took us to Kibale to see the chimpanzees, Queen Elizabeth National Park and then to Bwindi to see the gorillas. Smith, our guide, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We had lots of laughs together! I also really appreciated how Kubwa Five went above and beyond to ensure our safari went smoothly. We had an action-packed day filled with chimpanzee trekking and then a boat safari on the Kazinga Channel. I wanted to check-in to my hotel in Queen Elizabeth before the boat safari (we were meant to go on the boat first) and they were happy to accommodate me. But because of my request, we actually ended up missing the boat. Kubwa Five told me it was no problem and promptly arranged another boat on the spot which I really appreciated. So the safari went incredibly smoothly. The highlight had to be seeing the mountain gorillas. Nothing quite prepares you for seeing these magnificent animals!
