I believe that we have been scammed by this organization
We booked a full organized trip for 12 days to Rwanda and Hodari only arranged the first 3 days!! We had to pay for the hotels and they also cut the 12 days. Samuel, CEO, promised us to refund us for the payments of the hotels but we're still waiting. We have been fooled by Hodari Group.

Poorly organized and not transparent
Do NOT book with them. They do not use their own safari car for group safari but instead throw you in a car with tourists who booked with other safari companies and whose itineraries they have no control over or knowledge of. There was a lot of confusion, delay and waste of time just waiting because everyone stays at a different place and has different specific itineraries, plus the local guide is not directly affiliated with the company so communication was indirect. We almost missed our entrance to Maasai Mara the first day and missed our day at Lake Nakuru. On top of that, they put 8 people in our car which was very uncomfortable for an 8 hour ride on bumpy roads.

Lost driver, broken down vehicle, waste of time.
Is a Serengeti Safari a trio of a life-time? Do you want to see the migration, the big 5, and enjoy a beer at the safari lodge after a good day? If so, don’t book with Bobby!
The first day the agency failed to communicate where the safari lodge was, meaning we drove for HOURS only to arrive exhausted and after dinner was served.
We never saw the migration, bad luck perhaps.
The 4th day the vehicle broke down, and we spent the day on the side of the road, enjoying waves of dust.
For your Serengeti experience, I'd recommend you choose any other agency!
