An Unforgettable Experience with Raphael and Altaika Africa Safaris
Our day with Raphael from Altaika Africa Safaris was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Tanzania. From the very beginning, Raphael treated my parents and me like family. He was warm, engaging, and genuinely passionate about sharing the heart of his culture with us.
We toured a local village where he walked us through the homes, farmland, and daily life of the community. It was incredibly eye-opening and authentic—nothing felt staged or touristy. We had the chance to sample both banana beer and banana wine (which he very kindly gifted me two bottles of at the end of our tour). That thoughtful gesture really spoke to the kind of person Raphael is.
Beyond the cultural immersion, what stood out most was the personal connection. Raphael made sure we felt welcome, comfortable, and appreciated throughout. His enthusiasm was contagious, and it’s clear he takes deep pride in both his work and his people.
If you're looking for a genuine, enriching, and memorable experience in Tanzania, I couldn't recommend Raphael and Altaika Africa Safaris more. We’ll definitely be back someday.
Asante sana, Raphael — and until next time!

Keegan was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure we saw variety of animals.
Our trip with Wild Wonder Safari Co. was something we’ll never forget. Everything was organized so smoothly, which allowed us to just enjoy the experience without worrying about a thing. They clearly put a lot of thought into the planning, and it really showed.
We spent a few days inside Kruger National Park, staying at Skukuza, and it was incredible. Waking up in the park, hearing the sounds of nature all around, and heading out on game drives from right inside the reserve—there’s really nothing like it.
A huge part of what made the trip so special was our guide, Keegan. He was amazing. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He really tuned in to what our group was interested in and made sure we got to see and learn as much as possible. We spotted so much wildlife and had some really memorable moments thanks to him.
If you’re thinking about doing a safari, I’d absolutely recommend going with Wild Wonder. They made the whole experience feel personal, comfortable, and full of wonder from start to finish.

Very friendly and spontaneous.
Our experience with phine safari was great. The operator and also the driver (Francis) where so nice and friendly. Also the driver always found the best spots for us to see the animals and get very close to them.
The only negative thing about our tour were the native women who tried to sell us their products at each gate. That itself isn’t a problem but the way they did it was very harassing.
Overall the safari was a stunning and beautiful experience and we would book it again with phine safari.

Bison Safari Tour was Excellent and well planned
We took a 4 days and 3 nights safari to Masai Mara and Nakuru through Bison Safari. The trip was well planned, well managed. The driver cum Guide (Mr. Kush) was amazing and knowledgeable. He explained every minute details about animal behaviour. He was cordial enough and supportive while on the trip. He would stop as and when we requested due to kids call for washroom or having some snacks.
The hotels selected by Bison Safari (Jambo Mara and Buraha Zenoni) were also nice with great hospitality.
Thanks Bison Safari team for making this trip memorable.

Well organized Safari trip with great wildlife, nature and culture sightings
We had an amazing 6 day Safari to Serengeti. Mary is a master organizer and took care of everything from planning this individual itinerary, accommodations etc. We will never forget this beautiful wild life encounters coming so close to many Lions, cheetahs and even the rare leopard. To top it all Mary even managed to get our lost luggage from the airport to us, which wouldn't been possible without her. Thanks again for everything 🙏

There's no comparison for uniqueness! Our trip had everything we dreamed of and even more! AMAZING!!
EVERYTHING is already written!
Even the act of me writing this review and you reading it was already written.
For some, that may be a strange thought, as it gives the illusion that they have no control over their lives.
For others, however, it is the certainty that – no matter what may come – everything has its own purpose.
It was our purpose to cross paths with the greatest man of Tanzania – the one and only, the sensei of wildlife: Lukiano!
My girlfriend and I have met many people on our travels. Some were hospitable, kind, and helpful – and some we would have rather never met at all.
But none of them were like Lukiano!
With his calm yet energetic presence, he managed to make us feel safe in every situation.
And I truly mean EVERY situation!
Whether it was a lion majestically walking just inches past our open car window, or an elephant scratching it’s itchy back against our vehicle – one concerned glance towards Lukiano, one smile from him, and all our worries were gone till eternity.
Lukiano’s smile was, in fact, his constant companion – and never, truly never, was it fake or even slightly forced.
It was simply… REAL.
What a gift it is in today’s world to still experience such REALNESS – from such an impressive human being!
This realness was only outshined by his knowledge of the wildlife.
To cut it short: If the topic is wildlife, even ChatGPT would ask Lukiano.
It’s unbelievable how much this man knows!
But knowing is one thing – teaching that knowledge patiently and understandable is another.
Lukiano combines both like no one else!
He is simply a remarkable man – one of a kind, the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.
Every great man throughout history of mankind needed a soulmate – someone to help unlock their full potential.
Lukiano’s soulmate is Dorit.
She gave us a constant sense of security and care. She looked after us when we were mentally and physically exhausted, kept us motivated time and time again, and made us laugh – and reflect – with her wonderful stories and life wisdom.
You could feel how pure her interest was, and how solution-focused she was in addressing our concerns.
And just like with Lukiano – always with a powerful, undeniable REALNESS.
On top of all that, she impressed with flawless organization and absolute professionalism in every aspect.
Together, the two of them are the true embodiment of:
Teamwork makes the dream work!
Two loving people who, in all likelihood, have found each other till infinity.
And to be honest – what could be more admirable than that?
If you’re looking for “something“ special, this is not the right couple for your trip – because with this couple, EVERYTHING is special!
It’s up to you whether you want to have the time of your life in Tanzania with this truly unique power couple.
Think about it…
But in the end, sometimes you have to be smart – and remember:
EVERYTHING is already written.
