Amazing
Hirwa is simply outstanding—truly the best tour company we’ve ever worked with. I was connected with Daphne through the wonderful staff at One&Only, and choosing to work with her was one of the best decisions we made for our trip.
Daphne is a first-rate professional with deep knowledge and care. Having previously worked at One&Only, she brings an extraordinary level of dedication and insight. For nearly a year leading up to our trip, she helped us plan every detail—advising on the best hotels, securing hard-to-get park passes, and keeping us on key waitlists. She made the entire process seamless and stress-free.
What stood out even more was her constant care during the trip itself—Daphne checked in every step of the way to make sure everything was perfect, that the hotels met our expectations, and that we were truly enjoying ourselves. One moment that captured her thoughtfulness: when we were too exhausted to do a tour, she went out of her way to take care of us an accommodate though these changes were not easy for her.
She also arranged for an exceptional driver Levis who stayed with us throughout our journey. His brilliance speaks for itself—fluent in English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese, and the Rwandan languages, and as warm and kind as he is capable. He took care of every logistical detail with calm precision, all while being a joy to travel with.
Thanks to Hirwa’s expert coordination, we had the privilege of witnessing some of the most incredible sights of our lives—trekking deep into the forest to see chimpanzees in Nyungwe and spending time with magnificent mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park. These were once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and we felt fully supported and prepared every step of the way.
My husband, who has traveled extensively across Africa, described this as his favorite trip—and that’s entirely thanks to the thoughtful planning, expertise, and heart that Hirwa brought to the experience. We are incredibly grateful to Daphne and her team for making this journey so special.

Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda
We had a trip of a lifetime! Seeing the gorillas has been a bucket list item for me and when we had a chance to make it happen Levis and Daphne made it easy and awesome!
From the airport pickup, hotel and lodge arrangements, driving between stops and meeting the trek guides, they made it easy and comfortable. We were always in the right place when we needed to be there and were well informed what to expect before we got there.
The lodge they arranged for us to stay at was the nicest of our three week trip. The food was great and their attention to detail was as complete as Hirwa Safari’s.
We will definitely visit Rwanda again and use Hirwa Safaris to arrange everything.

Majestic!
The safari had been recommended to me and it did not disappoint!
If you are looking for a half day with wild majestic animals, this is it! All is convenient, pick up is arranged, tickets are reserved, confirmation is fluid.
In addition, Tinwiko who drove me to the Park had many stories to share and we laughed a lot on the way in and back.
Our tour guide was amazing as well.
Expect lions up close, girafe feeding in your hands, wild dogs, hyenas, leopards…
Incredible!

An Unforgettable First Safari Experience!
Choosing Enkwarewa for our first-ever African safari was one of the best decisions we made this year! From the moment we booked until our return to Nairobi, everything was perfectly organized — the airport pickup, drive to the Masai Mara, the game drives, and the journey back. Every step felt personal, warm, and effortless.
Nelly, the manager, was incredibly kind and communicative — she made sure we had all the details in advance and checked in throughout the trip. And Anthony, our driver and guide, was simply outstanding! He spotted even the rarest animals, shared so much knowledge about the wildlife, and was always patient, flexible, and friendly.
We felt completely at home the entire time and came back with memories for a lifetime.
Highly recommended for anyone planning a safari in Kenya or the Masai Mara!

Unforgettable safari experience
We looked at a few different tour operators but went with Meru Slopes because they are local Tanzanian business, prompt with their responses, put together a safari package tailored exactly to what we wanted, and their prices were reasonable. Almachius was our coordinator and he was great to deal with. We had a monster 9 day itinerary: Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Natron, Serengeti (including a sunrise balloon ride) Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Mataruni Waterfall/ Kilimanjaro. Almachius handed us off to our expert guide Santaely (Ely) on day 2 in Arusha. Ely was a terrific driver and guide, answering all our questions about everything from the local geography, facts about the wildlife, plants, birds, Masai people, African/Tanzanian life and culture. Ely took care of every detail for us on the tour, he was super professional and worked with us every day to make sure we were having the best experiences possible. Also he was an excellent discoverer of wildlife in the parks (Mr Eagle Eyes) and we got up close and personal with more wildlife than we ever hoped to see. We never felt rushed, always felt safe and we had a lot of fun. The experience was unforgettable and I have the most amazing photo and video to remember it all. The accommodations were all fine, no complaints. Everything was as advertised in the brochures. We especially enjoyed glamping in the Serengeti park with the nightlife sounds, and also the Lake Natron tent camp with its gorgeous sunset view of the lake and mountains. Food was buffet breakfast and dinner at the lodges, and boxed lunches out in the parks (lunch under acacia on the savannah = wow). We had to end our Safari one day early (no fault of Meru Slopes) and Ely and Amalchius really stepped up their customer service at that point to take care of us and get us on our way and we are very grateful for that. I dream of returning again and if I do I would book again with Ely and the Meru Slopes team.

Efficiency, preparation, kindness and very personal touch.
Since the moment we decided to ask for a quote, Africa Uncovered Safaris established an excellent communication. They answered all our questions about the schedule for the 5 days safari and accommodated all our experiences based on our time of arrival and departure. Archie, the owner of the company, has been always very responsive and reliable, in all circumstances.
We had the pleasure to spend 5 days with Tafara, the gentleman who showed us the different beautiful sites around Victoria Falls. He was officially our 'guide' but our relationship went behind this label. We were able to establish a relationship framed on reciprocal estime, respect and friendship. With his kindness, sincerity and open mind, he added a bigger value to any experience we had and to any place we visited.
Our activities were the following: Boma dinner; sunset dinner on the Zambesi river; Victoria Falls tour; Painted dogs rescue village; Hwange National Park; a Shona village and more. Our accommodations were amazing and all meals very delicious. We had serval encounters with the parks' fauna: elephants; zebras; crocodile; giraffes; rhino; vultures; impalas; storks; and more.
If you are thinking to explore that part of Zimbabwe, I would strongly recommend Africa Uncovered Safaris and its team.

Excellent guide who could ‘read’ the nature
Our guide Antony was very dedicated to his profession and had a great knowledge of the wild life in the Kruger Park.
Pickup at our location and dropped off at the airport. Antony is a very skilled and safe driver and happy to share and discuss life in SA.
