Amazing Tour Guide and Once in a Lifetime Experience!
I want to start off by saying thank you to Max for a wonderful trip. Visiting 44 countries, Tanzania has definitely been the best experience. As a tour guide, Max has been brilliant and very consistently bringing us great adventures. He does what a normal tour guide does, but he goes above and beyond for his job and has so many highlights as a tour guide.
Max is very passionate. Through how he talks about the animals and the environment, I can tell that he loves this place and the organisms in it. He cares about protecting Serengeti and leaving the wildlife wild. I remember him stopping a newer tour guide on the road just to remind him not to litter. He is also knowledgeable and incredibly smart. When juggling driving and talking at the same time, Max can tell what an animal is from meters away, before anyone else can. When asking him what an animal is, max is quick and can give facts off the top of his head.
In the end we saw hyenas, lions, flamingos, zebras, elephants, wildebeests, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos and hippos just to name a few.
Max also always makes sure that as a family, we are comfortable with our hotel. When there was a yearly controlled wildfire in the backyard of one of our camps, Max drove back and stayed with us until we felt safe enough for him to leave again. He is a flexible person and will try to the best of his abilities to make a trip as comfortable as possible.
The food everyday was packed in metal lunch boxes along with complimentary drinks, and lunch was pretty tasty. The lunch table and the chairs were very sturdy and lunch was comfortable.
I loved talking to Max and learning about his family and the various traditions of Tanzania. He gave me a glance into real life living in a tribe and how Tanzania society functions. I wish I had more time to talk to him, he seems like he has many many stories to tell.
Special thanks to Beatrice for working hard to make this the best trip possible. Sheppard was great at replying fast and responded to every single question and concern my family and I had.
I will be recommending Serengeti Wakanda to friends especially Max as a tour guide. Lots of love from China and I will definitely be visiting again soon. Thank you so much Max!

"A Dream Come True"
As a wildlife enthusiast, seeing the Great Migration was a lifelong dream—and Pega Tours & Travel delivered it perfectly! Zebra Plains offered front-row views of wildebeests charging the Mara River, and our guide made every moment magical. The serenity of Naivasha Kongoni and the majestic elephants of Amboseli with Kilimanjaro in the background were unforgettable. Truly the safari of a lifetime!

8-Day Safari Memories: The Most Reliable Guide Jeff, Who Showed Us the True Wild Beauty
Our 8-day safari journey in Kenya left me with more than just memories of vast wildebeest migrations or lions and cheetahs roaming the savanna. What truly made it unforgettable was our calm and dependable guide—Jeff.
Jeff is 38 years old and the father of four children. He doesn’t talk much, but from day one, he gave off a strong sense of reliability and steadiness. With excellent driving skills and a sharp eye, he knows the behavior of animals and the rhythm of the land like the back of his hand. Throughout the journey, he stayed focused, always observing carefully and choosing the best spots for us to watch and photograph wildlife. No matter the weather, he never complained.
He’s an incredibly smooth driver. Even with long, bumpy drives and kids in the car, we always felt completely safe—and could even nap in peace during the ride.
One of the most unforgettable moments was when we were about to leave the Maasai Mara National Reserve, just approaching the gate. Suddenly, Jeff heard a cheetah sighting come through the radio. Before we even had time to react, he hit the gas and sped back into the park—making a sharp U-turn and racing deep into the reserve toward where a leopard had reportedly appeared. It was in that moment I realized Jeff wasn’t just checking off boxes—he genuinely wanted us to witness the most extraordinary and complete side of African wildlife.
During the days we spent waiting by the Mara River to see the wildebeest crossing, Jeff consistently picked the best spots. He could tell where the herds would gather and hesitate before crossing, and he’d position us perfectly to capture the action. While other guides were still circling around, Jeff had already locked in the ideal view. More than once, he even ignored park rangers trying to usher us away—determined to let us see the most breathtaking scenes. Those herds thundering down the riverbank, crocodiles lurking in the water—those images are burned into my memory.
On the last day, we all went quiet in the car. No one wanted to get out. We were reluctant to say goodbye—to the journey, to the wild, and especially to Jeff. He wasn’t just a “driver” or a “translator.” He was our companion, and the bridge between us and nature.
If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, I wholeheartedly recommend Jeff and the JungleRoam team. He may not be the most talkative guide, but he will definitely be the one who brings you face-to-face with the wild miracles of Africa.

"Seamless & Serene"
rom the moment we landed, Pega Tours & Travel took care of us like family. The lodges—especially Kongoni at Lake Naivasha—were peaceful, scenic, and so comfortable. I loved the boat ride among hippos and birds, and the sunsets at Kibo Safari Camp in Amboseli were breathtaking. Everything ran smoothly, and I felt completely at ease. Highly recommended!

A combination of satisfaction and relief
I usually plan a lot of getaways, but Safari Masai Mara took all the responsibility in such a way that I didn't have to think about anything. From the time they were contacted, they were very clear and honest and provided timely updates. The experience of seeing the natural beauty and animals of Masai Mara was great; more than that, their hospitality was memorable. The cars were in good condition; the guide was patient and knowledgeable, like an animal expert. In a word, reliable and quality means a full service.

Almachius crafted an exceptionally warm and meticulous itinerary, ensuring every detail was perfect.
As recommended by friends and after thorough research, we chose Meru Slopes for our 14-day Tanzania adventure – combining a 7-day Kilimanjaro hike and a 6-day safari. Our planner Almachius crafted an exceptionally warm and meticulous itinerary, ensuring every detail was perfect.
For the Kilimanjaro trek, our guide Kenedy was outstanding! His professionalism and genuine care for my parents and me made the journey seamless. We bonded like brothers, and his expertise led us to a successful summit – fulfilling a lifelong dream! Kennedy’s team radiated enthusiasm and kindness, reflecting their passion for excellence. Highly recommended!
The safari, also orchestrated by Almachius, was filled with awe. Our guide Samweli had eagle-eyed vision spotting distant animals and shared profound knowledge about wildlife and ecosystems. His friendly, engaging nature made each day comfortable and thrilling. We witnessed the Great Migration river crossing and intimate moments of elephant families – absolutely breathtaking!
Every staff member at Meru Slopes, including the owner, exuded warmth and professionalism. This journey gifted our family with unforgettable memories and pure joy. If you seek an authentic, heartwarming Tanzanian experience, Meru Slopes is the answer!

Thanks to KUSEKWA arranging the perfect itinerary for us, we spent an unforgettable eight days. Thanks to the JULIUS guide, we were able to feast our eyes all the way and didn't miss any exciting moments. In the final itinerary, we had a sudden idea to visit the local market and village culture. JULIUS promptly contacted the office to change our schedule for the next day, and we were not delayed at all. The experience was very good. During this period, JULIUS was like our family. Tanzania is a very beautiful place, and I will visit again. Next time, I hope to meet JULIUS on the land of Africa.

Exceeded my already high expectations. I will absolutely be back
Extremely professional, friendly and organised company. I stayed at Reef and Beach resort and Africa Safari Selous, Tanzania for the safaris. The guides Songoro, Ronald, Fabien and others are very knowledgeable, friendly and every member of staff was very kind to me. All ensured we saw soo many different animals, fauna and flora and educated is on these. The food is sooo tasty at both hotels. Both hotels were kept clean with turn down service every night. My room at Selous was gorgeous, clean and homely. Both resorts have great facilities for entertainment, multiple pools, shops and helpful staff with lots of information signposted around. The safaris were 10/10, once in a lifetime experience and I was so lucky and elated to see a Leopard. Thank you to Janeth, Farid, Raheem, Thomas and everyone else for making me feel welcome and comfortable. Reef & Beach resort is actually one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in and I am very picky. Beautiful Zanzibar style, modern aesthetic. I have to emphasise the high level of customer service at both resorts, a true reflection of the beautiful, charming, friendly people everywhere in Tanzania
