Incredible! Big 5!

Our journey through Tanzania was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very beginning, everything was seamless — every detail thoughtfully arranged, every step clearly communicated. We began in Arusha, moved on to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the endless plains of the Serengeti, down into the Ngorongoro Crater, and finally rested by the turquoise waters of Zanzibar. At the last minute, I added an extra day at the start of our trip to ease the jet lag, and Kojuu accommodated us with such grace and ease that it felt effortless.
Traveling with my husband and our 14-year-old daughter, I carried natural concerns about safety, but Losim patiently answered every question and eased every worry. His calm assurance gave me confidence that our family was in good hands from start to finish.
And then there was Aaron — our guide, and truly the heartbeat of our adventure. He was not only endlessly knowledgeable about the animals but also instinctively aware of their movements. Time and again, he positioned us perfectly for unforgettable sightings and photographs. His instincts, humor, and care made the experience both thrilling and safe — and turned game drives into moments of pure wonder. ( the lions with gloves we saw the elusive leopard we saw the black rhino. It was amazing.)
I always imagined I would cry when I first set foot in Africa and saw the wildlife. But the tears came instead on the day we left. This country, its people, and its breathtaking animals captured my heart in a way I could never have predicted. The Serengeti in particular is beyond words — vast, endless, alive. If you can, gift yourself extra days there, because no matter how much time you spend, it will never feel like enough.
Kojuu crafted an itinerary filled with beauty, comfort, and authenticity. The lodges were stunning, the routes perfectly planned, and every day felt like a treasure. I received many quotes before booking, but what drew me to Kojuu was not only their excellence but their heart. It mattered deeply to me that the money I invested would support a local Tanzanian company — not an overseas middleman — and in choosing them, I know it did.
Kojuu is no longer just a safari company to us; they are family. Our memories are etched forever, and our gratitude runs deep.
Asante sana — thank you, Losim. Thank you, Aaron. Until we return.

Peter Kapino was fun, knowledgeable, and awesome !!!
This was a wonderful company to book with, the housing accommodations exceeded my expectations with wonderful food and service. Our tour guide Peter Kapino was the best guide we could have gotten! He made sure we saw all of the animals we wanted to see and was very knowledgeable about all of them. He truly made this experience memorable and i couldn’t have asked for anyone better to guide us. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a great experience

Tafara was the best guide ever! He is knowledgeable, kind and attentive.
This was my first time visiting Africa. To be honest I was quite nervous. However from start to finish I felt cared for. Before the trip, Archie was available to answer every questions and put me at ease. He promised we would be welcomed with open arms. When we met our guide Tafara in Victoria Falls, I was instantly relieved to be greeted with his warm smile. He made sure everything went smoothly and adjusted to any request we made. He went out of his was to make arrangements outside of our itinerary. After the first day, I felt I had gotten my money's worth. In fact after that day in Hwange, I said "if I go home now I would be satisfied". And it only got better and better. I think something that made the trip so special was that Tafara shared that joy with us. He genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible. And we did! I highly recommend Africa Uncovered and if you are lucky enough to have Tafara as your guide, it will be a trip of a lifetime. Thank you so much!

Superb and blind trust!
This is my third trip with Rose and the Luxury Safari Co. From day one she has known exactly what to recommend, fully meeting my budget and expectations. On all the trips everything was carefully planned, with great operators on the ground and amazing camps full of passionate people and great service. I’ve also learned what a great relationship she’s built with the various camps I’ve been to. I trust Rose so much that I just ask her, “where should I go next?” and blindly trust her recommendations, which have not failed me so far. Every time I’m asked about safaris, I confidently recommend The Luxury Safari Co to friends and colleagues. You won’t regret it! Every time I’ve seen amazing wildlife, stunning landscapes and experienced the beauty of Africa, having the trip of my dreams!
