Well organized tour arranged with excellent communication and delivered as expected.
I went on the "Seven Days Uganda Gorillas, Wildlife and Chimps Safari" in February. The itinerary was great, and it made full use of every day.
I was met at my Hotel in Entebbe by my driver/guide Osman and we immediately set off on our journey. As we drove I was given a thorough history lesson of the area and continual informative info. The vehicle was comfortable, and the places we spent the nights were very nice.
The touring was well planned, and the entrance into the Chimpanzee and Gorilla treks was taken care of flawlessly. Osman went above and beyond on the game drives, and his knowledge and communication with other guides allowed some awesome encounters that made the trip memorable. His decision to head into Queen Elizabeth NP in the late afternoon even though it wasn't scheduled let to an unbelievable up close encounter with a leopard. It was an experience of a lifetime. This was an excellent tour and even though it was more expensive than my normal budget, it was indeed still great value for the price.

A wonderful company that knows its job perfectly and does it excellently.
I had an amazing adventure with the Golden Trips Tanzania team. I highly recommend this company for organizing a trip to Tanzania.
We contacted the company to arrange our Kilimanjaro climb. Everything was organized at the highest level. From the very first moments, we were greeted and accompanied by very professional, kind, cheerful, and caring guys. After the climb to the summit, they organized a safari and a tour to the hot springs for us.
I truly enjoyed Tanzania, thanks to the team that was with us.
Joel, Bob, Noah, thank you guys, you’re awesome—you exceeded all our expectations.

An unforgettable experience and top-notch organization.
On February 1st, we returned from a 26-day trip through Tanzania, Zanzibar, and Egypt, and I have nothing but words of gratitude for the Kitawa team. From the very first contact, the planning was impeccable, but what truly made the difference was the execution and the seamless development of the itinerary once we were in Africa.
As a traveler, I greatly value punctuality and in-depth knowledge of the destination, and Kitawa exceeded all expectations. The safari scheduling was perfect, allowing us to connect with nature in an authentic and unhurried way. The logistics between the national parks and the transfer to the beaches of Zanzibar ran like clockwork, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with complete peace of mind. In Egypt, it was a private trip where we were pampered in every way.
If you are looking for an agency that not only sells a package, but is truly committed to ensuring that the trip runs smoothly and seamlessly, Kitawa is the perfect choice. Thank you for helping us fulfill this dream with such professionalism!

Cynthia Khalifa and Derek were very professional responsive and did what they said they would do. A+
Cynthia was great to organize with. She was very responsive and gave us action information going into the weeks we were in Kenya. Our Tour driver. Khalifa was extremely skilled with over 20 years of experience. His driving was incredible as he never got stuck once and was able to get us very close to lion elephant and giraffes as well as cheetah going in for the kill. He had a great expertise along with his apprentice, Derek they made a great team. We were overall very happy with the food, with the transportation, a very great safari vehicle and great driver., and the tent was very big and comfortable, and we had a great time overall. Would definitely recommend.

Kind, informational, efficient, easy going
Communication was clear, 100% worth the money it is so effortless. The guide was reliable, I was getting messages from the guide manager throughout the day checking to make sure everything was running smoothly. We did a game drive in the morning, elephant orphanage afterwards and then went out for lunch. It was an awesome day!
Owned by a Tanzanian family, great accommodations,excellent guides, unbeatable value!
I spent my career in small group tourism in Alaska… showed a lot of guests wildlife up close! I could always tell when someone was on our tour who had previously been on an African safari…after showing them a herd of musk ox or caribou in Alaska up close, they would look at me and say… “and the rest of the animals????”
African safaris will spoil you for life
Nothing prepares you for the sheer number, variety and proximity to the wildlife.
This when I decided to book my safari , I did a lot of research, looked at the big guys, well-known operators and stumbled upon Lendimi African safari’s. One of the family members from Tanzania who owns the company is a visiting professor at UAA (Anchorage, Alaska). We did a nine day tour that Not only met but exceeded our expectations.
Perfect for a small group of 4-8 guests. All accommodations including the lux camps to hotels were top notch. We went in Feb of 2025.
But it is the sheer number of animals that you encounter (up close! That spoils you for life. Wildlife viewing for me has never been the same. I’ll be going back… and it will be Lendimi. Same product, and itinerary the “big guys “ offer for much less cost. They simply don’t have the overhead big companies have to cover in their cost.
Two enthusiastic thumbs up for this operator.

Amazing experience, great organisation and good communication during all phases
I had an amazing experience with Lions Paw.
They organised for us a safari touring Serengeti (central and southern part), Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara national parks in Tanzania.
Since the initial interaction with Walter and the team we perceived a good vibe and we liked the communication style. They prepared the itinerary taking into account all our requests and desires, and it resulted in a smooth experience for us.
They provided us with a nice car with Adrian as our driver and guide (great guy, we had fun with him), filled with water, drinks and snacks, and all comforts needed for long game drives in the parks.
I strongly recommend Lions Paw if you are interested in a safari or other activities in Tanzania, they are really nice and super attentive, and always available in case of need.
