Excellent
5/5

My 7-day trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro was nothing short of extraordinary. Thanks to Almighty Kilimanjaro’s expert guidance and support, I reached the top with remarkable ease. Their professionalism, local knowledge, and well-planned itinerary made the journey smooth, safe, and unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone aiming to conquer Africa’s highest peak with confidence.

Unforgettable Gorilla Trekking with Hermosa – Guide Abu Was Outstanding!
5/5

We had an incredible gorilla tracking experience in Rwanda with Hermosa, and our guide Abu made it absolutely seamless from start to finish.

Abu picked us up from Kigali right on time and ensured everything went smoothly throughout the day. After our once-in-a-lifetime trek to see the gorillas, he even helped us find a place to clean up and freshen up before heading back. That extra effort really meant a lot!

He then dropped us off at the airport perfectly on time, making the entire journey stress-free. Abu was kind, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile. His service and hospitality were truly exceptional.

We highly recommend Hermosa and especially Abu if you're planning a gorilla trekking adventure in Rwanda. You’ll be in the best hands!

We can recommend this private tour, and want thank Wakanda Tours for the preparation
5/5

We had a 7 days private safari. Starting with the Materuni Waterfall and Coffee plantation tour, followed by the Tarangire parc, and Serengeti and Ngorongoro with wilderness camp.
The tour was well prepared and organized, and with Anderson as our personal tour guide we didn’t had to worry about anything. He did a fantastic job by spotting animals and by imitating their sounds. We have seen the Big Five plus many more interesting animals and birds.
Also special thanks to Ashirafu, our safaris cook for his amazing cooking skills.

5/5

Rose helped put together a great itinerary for a family trip to the Serengeti & Masai Mara. This was our first safari trip and, thanks to Rose and TLSC, the entire week was very smooth. The quality of accommodation, food, and guides throughout were fantastic and we’d happily recommend!

Patient and meticulous, professional to provide customers with a perfect safari experience.
5/5

Although we did not see the Great Migration, but our adventure was nothing short of magical. We marveled at the abundant wildlife and exotic birds in their natural habitats, witnessed breathtaking natural landscapes and enjoyed comfortable stays at diverse lodges—each with its own unique charm and stunning surroundings. Thanks our Personal Journey Designer for the excellent arrangement, which made our trip worth it.

We went to climb Kilimajaro with a local guide and his team. He made us feel comfortable og safe during the whole journey. He helped us with everything from medication to equipment. Everything was planned well and we really had an educational experience.

Incredible Kenya
5/5

We had a memorable week in Kenya organised for us by Wild Portrait Safaris. We spent a week traversing this beautiful country from Nairobi to Amboseli, Nakuru, Naivasha and Masai Mara and we were blown over by the teeming wildlife and nature. Weather in Kenya in June was 20 degrees just divine. James of Wild Portrait safaris planned an impeccable trip for us and dealings were very seamless and smooth from start to finish. Ben our tour guide was fantastic and his knowledge of the national parks is just fabulous. We spotted more wildlife and overall the trip went beyond our expectations. I would recommend Wild Portrait safaris wholeheartedly and we look forward to visiting this beautiful country and its warm and welcoming people again, very soon.

The best private safari with friends!
5/5

This 4-day AGLOW Safaris tour was one of the best trips of our lives! The guide, John, was very experienced and courteous, ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the trip. The giant elephant herd of Tarangire, the lion family of Ngorongoro Crater, and the tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara - all unforgettable! Accommodations were clean and comfortable. It's highly recommended!

Amazing trip! Big thank you!
5/5

I would like to sincerely thank all of you for organizing my trip in July 2025. It was a short one-week getaway, but I wanted to experience as much of Tanzania as possible and create unforgettable memories for my birthday.
Of course, the highlight of my trip was the safari experience. I started by visiting safaribookings.com and sent out several inquiries, clearly outlining my expectations and budget. Mary was the first to respond—within an hour, if I remember correctly—while some companies took up to two days. From that moment on, Mary became the perfect guide in planning my incredible journey.
She carefully explained the differences between the national parks, helping me understand what each one had to offer. In the end, I decided on a 4-day/3-night camping safari covering Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, starting and ending in Zanzibar. Mary offered a great itinerary that was well within my budget.
I must admit, I changed my mind several times during the planning process—even initially considering skipping Zanzibar altogether—but Mary was always patient and responsive, no matter how many questions I had. She went above and beyond by also recommending a wonderful hotel in Zanzibar, even though that part wasn’t included in the safari package. She helped me prepare for everything I needed for the trip, which made the experience smooth and stress-free.

To add, I started making all the bookings two months in advance, as I was always a bit anxious that something might change—especially since I was traveling as single lady and the trip required a group to go ahead. But as I mentioned, the dates were very important to me because they aligned with my birthday. Luckily, everything went according to plan.
One very pleasant surprise was finding out, upon arrival, that one of the nights originally planned in a budget camp was upgraded and would actually be spent in a lodge. It was perfect—newly built, with private facilities and a very comfortable bed. And the best part? It was right in the middle of the savannah! You could see a giraffe munching on leaves just outside your window, elephants walking on sunset or a hippo grazing in front of your door at night. It was absolutely magical.

From the Big Five to the Big Four and a Half!
We were aiming for the full Big Five, but ended up with what I like to call the Big Four and a Half. We spotted lions, elephants, buffalos, and even a rhino (though that one was a bit far off—binoculars were absolutely essential!). I say “half” because we didn’t actually see a leopard, although we did spend quite some time watching and waiting near a tree where one had stashed its gazelle kill… So close!
But here’s something important to remember: a safari isn’t a zoo or a scheduled show. The park is massive, and the animals are truly wild, which means they can be anywhere—sometimes far from the roads. Considering that our trip was short, considering the distance between parks, and couldn’t afford hours of waiting of actions of wildlife like National Geographic, we were incredibly lucky with what we saw.
We witnessed impressive show of lions preparing to hunt zebras, young lions feasting on a buffalo, a cheetah casually lounging by the roadside, and a big elephant family with babies in tow. We even saw those "stupid" buffalos following the "smart" zebras—it was like a real-life nature documentary!
But my absolute favorites? Giraffes and hippos. Maybe it's because they visited me at night, making the funniest sounds while munching around my lodge… hahaha!

Of course, this tour wouldn’t have been nearly as wonderful without our amazing driver, Mike, and our talented chef, Victor. They were with our group of six throughout the entire journey, ensuring everything was incredibly comfortable. Even with some 'pole pole' moments, I always felt we were on time and in the right place.

Mike, you are a great, cheerful person. Thank you so much for being such an amazing guide and sharing stories about Tanzania, its people, wildlife, and the different behaviors of animals. It was fascinating to learn things I never would have expected! Also, a big thanks for being such a safe driver, while still managing to get us into the best positions for photoshoots. Your quick reactions during busy sightings—especially when we were watching hunting lions among dozens of vehicles—were truly impressive. Fantastic maneuvers and an eagle eye! A special big thank you and hug for keeping your word and finding that single rhino, even in bad weather conditions! You’re amazing for making it happen!
Many, many thanks to our chef Victor, who always prepared fresh, delicious meals—even the bread was homemade! Every breakfast, lunch, and dinner was well-balanced and thoughtfully prepared, with proteins, carbs, and vegetables—just like a perfect nutrition plan. Everything was not only tasty but also very kind to my stomach. Thank you for sparing us from boring sandwich lunches (I really felt bad for the older folks in the other groups) and preparing hot, never-repeated three-course dinners—always something new and delicious! Each evening started with a flavorful soup, followed by a fresh salad or cooked vegetables and a hearty main dish. Super, super, super!

Ashanti Sana!!! Great Job! Thank you to the entire team! I had a truly amazing birthday trip that I will always remember. I wish you all prosperity and continued business growth.
