Professional, knowledgable, good fun & safe!
Wow! What an amazing experience!
So glad we chose this safari company, they were brilliant from start to finish!
Brenda was so helpful organising a 2day safari and Isaac was great guide and safe driver!
First day was Tarangire NP up close with elephants, giraffes & zebras which was amazing, we then stayed overnight in a beautiful Lodge!
Unfortunately our flight was delayed so we were behind all day and late getting to Lodge to make most of it and up early next morning to go to Ngorongoro crater, which is full of animals to spot, not so close as Tarangire but used binoculars and saw lion & rhino in the distance!
It was cold that day and could have done with a sweatshirt, which we didn’t have!
We flew from Zanzibar and other people staying in our resort went for day safari using another company & were really disappointed!
Highly recommend Goldfinch Adventures, they are professional and you feel safe, which if like me safari is a bit out of your comfort zone is very important!
We have wonderful memories and maybe wish we had done a 3 day safari instead of 2! :)

A truly amazing company that will stay with us forever!
Our safari with Leisure Escapes truly was a memorable trip. From the beginning when my partner and I were getting information, Esther was always there to answer any questions/concerns we had. She also constructed us a very detailed itinerary for our safari so that we knew exactly where we were staying whether it be in lodges or hotels, the areas that we would travel to, what meals/drinks were included, what optional extras we could do such as Masai Village visits, boat trips, and what animals we would come across in the different national parks! She was very thorough from the beginning which made us feel at ease.
Our Safari guide Duncan deserves a massive shoutout too. He has 20+ years of Safari experience under his belt. His professionalism, his patience, his knowledge of the animals and his ability to spot animals from a far distance all deserve mentioning! He was the perfect person for us to experience a safari with, and he never let the long hours driving ever dwindle his spirit, he was always focused on giving us the best experience possible and finding the best spots to see the animals up close. You spend so much time with your guide that you build a bond that is sad to leave when you depart.
As for the animals, we saw everything from Lions, hyenas, giraffes, rhinos, elephants, buffalos, hippos, zebras, warthogs the list is endless. To see them freely in their natural habitat truly was a wonderful experience that i will keep with me for a lifetime. It’s so hard to truly put into words how amazing of an experience a safari truly is.
The accommodations chosen by Esther were always top quality! She really listened to what we wanted and found the best places. Special mention to Nepture Mara in Masai Mara, a luxury lodge with an amazing group of staff there, our own Butler, wonderful room with a massive bathroom and views overlooking a river with many hippos swimming and relaxing. The food there was some of the best I’ve ever experienced.
We cannot thank Esther , Duncan and Leisure Escapes as a whole for providing us such an amazing Safari experience. It was everything we wanted and more and was worth every penny spent. As far as value for money goes, they ticked every box for us. We were even provided with Masai Cloths and personalised water bottles on day 1 as gifts which was a nice touch. When we do return there is only one company we will be going for and that is Leisure Escapes.
A truly amazing company that will stay with us forever.
Amazing
The trip was well organized you didn’t have to worry about a thing. The organizer was very good and always available, which made communication excellent. He make sure everything was going smoothly throughout the trip, and if you needed anything, he was easy to reach.
A magical journey with fantastic planning.
Highly recommended!

Avoid like Black Mamba
Modus Operandi - collects full fare. Does not pay to service providers. Drivers wait endlessly at park gate. You end up paying entry fee, fuel, hotel charges. The CEO vanishes from scene. KATO suspended them. But they have managed to resurface. TRA , the authority who blacklist, has not done anything. I saw some other operator black listed but not Natural World. With all the amounts being diverted must be having a huge cash reserve to pull strings.!

Unforgettable Safari Experience with an Incredible Guide
As a solo traveler, I was a bit nervous about joining a group tour, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. The group was warm and welcoming, and we quickly became friends. Our guide, Khalifa, was absolutely outstanding - he knew every corner of the park and shared fascinating stories and insights that brought the entire experience to life. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five and learned so much more than we expected. The tour was well-organized, exciting, and great value for money compared to other operators I looked into. I’m truly glad I chose Axis Africa and shared this unforgettable adventure with such a great group.

Unforgettable Experience!
From the moment I arrived at the airport and saw Justin from Lion King Adventures waiting for me I knew I was in good hands. He took me to the first accommodation in Arusha, his car was clean and he gave me a lot of interesting info about Tanzania.
For the safari week we started with a flight to Seronera, flying low over the Serengeti which was incredible and then we we greeted by our four tour guides: Saleh, Ozzie, Yuzuph and Emmanuel. The game vehicles were clean, comfortable and in very good condition. Each one had charging ports and a fridge full of cold drinks, a really nice touch!
These guides were absolute legends. Their knowledge and friendliness made every moment enjoyable as they shared countless facts about the wildlife and nature. We explored Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, and were incredibly lucky to spot many animals, including the Big Five. A highlight was when they took us to a part of the migration, what an unforgettable experience!
I would highly recommend Lion King Adventures!

Excellent service and excellent selection of accommodations.
Having Jangwa select and arrange the accommodations was a very good decision as the accommodations were great and we had no issues with our booking upon arrivals. The website was very helpful and we had a great trip.

Beacon Safaris were absolutely fantastic, 100% service throughout
From my initial contact email to dropping us back to our hotel the entire process was faultless.
Robert was quick to answer all of our questions and provided everything promised.
We have done safari in Kenya previously but this was a whole new level.
Our driver / guide Alex, driving wether on or off road was chauffeur level, Animal knowledge outstanding and animal spotting unreal. It was almost as if he had a sixth sense, he found everything we asked about, mostly 30-45 mins before anyone else so we enjoyed unique up close personal encounters.
I really can not thank Beacon enough and have no hesitation in recommending them 100%

Amazing
We have traveled around the world a lot and this was the best trip we have ever made. Tunu organized the tour and was our contact person (Everything was arranged: Rides from and to airport, briefing day before the safari at our hotel etc). He gave us a little present for safari, and even got us some beers for the safari when he noticed we were having beers during our briefing!
But most of our time we spend with our guide and driver, Malisa. We could not have asked for a better a better guide, he knew everything about the animals and enviroment, was always in a good mood, cared about the animals and people and spoke perfect English. If we had any questions or needs he would provide answers or solutions. Big thanks also to the chefs who made the food for us.
Sharing tour has its own risks because you don't know what type of persons will join the tour, but we got really lucky and got the best group with same-minded young persons. I would recommend budget-tour, everyone was happy and in a good mood all the time.

Amazing 7-Day Safari with Wild Media Safaris - Highly Recommended!
We had an unforgettable 7-day safari experience with Wild Media Safaris, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. From start to finish, everything was smooth, reliable, and thoughtfully organized.
Our guide, Denis, was fantastic. At 30 years old, he was close to our age, which made the whole trip feel more relaxed and fun. He was not only a skilled and careful driver, but also had a real talent for finding the best angles and locations to photograph wildlife. He often went the extra mile, compared to other guides, getting us closer to the action while always respecting the animals and park rules.
The communication before the trip was seamless. We were in contact with Cornel via WhatsApp, and all our questions were answered promptly and clearly. Everything was arranged perfectly, and Denis was right on time to pick us up from our hotel upon arrival.
Our safari vehicle was well-equipped, including a fridge box stocked with cold water for the whole week. This was a very welcome touch during hot days in the parks. Even though we booked a bit late, Wild Media Safaris suggested a great selection of lodges. We were really pleased with the accommodation. We ate well, slept comfortably, and felt taken care of throughout.
In terms of value for money, Wild Media Safaris delivered a top-tier experience without breaking the bank. The service was reliable, the planning stress-free, and the memories will last a lifetime.
If you're planning a safari in Tanzania, I absolutely recommend going with Wild Media Safaris. They made our trip special in every way!
