Amazing experience
Overall, an amazing safari experience and definitely 5/5 stars. Everything organized by Xavier was perfect, and all the hotels were excellent. A special mention goes to Kikitu, my guide for the first part of the safari, who truly went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable—his enthusiasm, effort, and dedication were exceptional. Sadly, the experience downgraded a little after changing to my second driver, as the guiding felt less engaged and at times somewhat unprofessional, with less effort put into making the most of the game drives. Regardless of this downgrade toward the end, thanks to Xavier’s excellent organization and especially Kikitu’s outstanding effort, the safari as a whole was still an amazing and unforgettable experience. I would happily book with Solo Safari again and can really recommend them!

Amazing and reliable service
Verity from Uyaphi did an amazing job listening to our requirements for our holiday in South Africa (she was the only agent who offered to so a call with us). We already had a rough idea of what we wanted to do and see and Verity helped us fine tune it. Her suggestions were spot on and the hotel, car and transfer bookings were reliable. Having her on the ground gave us peace of mind on our first trip to South Africa as she was responsive to our questions while we were here. She’s given us the most amazing holiday in this beautiful country.

Good communication, no problems with money transfer, good guide, good organization of the tour
It was a very good experience to see Schimpanse so near in wildlife. Already the hike in the forest is amazing. And even the boat trip over Tanganjika lake is an experience.
Everything was very well organized.
Tented camp was nice, food was excellent and our guide Elitosha was so helpful!!!

Perfect organized
Excellent communication, as soon their were questions they answered immediately, our guide Eliatosha Nicardo provided for everything we needed and made sure we are always satisfied, he knew so much about the jungle, the animals and the hole ecosystem in the forest that you were able to listen to him and his story’s for hours. His English was very good and he also helped a lot as translater for people which couldn’t talk as good as he did. I would 100% recommend him and should always go with him again.

Good value pick
We are a group of 4 men who joined the 6days 5 nights safari tour in Jul 2026. It is a private tour. The journey is safe and comfortable. Our driver Kelvin is amazing and friendly. We saw all the big 5 and ugly 5 in the safari.

Everything was perfect
We did our one day tour with Jafari and Shabani, and It was just perfect. From the arrival in the small plane to the safari experience itself, we really enjoyed our day. We saw hippos, lions, zebras, giraffes, impalas, buffaloes, ñus, kudu, Pumba, elephants... It was really good

A genuinely passionate, trustworthy, and highly personal tour operator that goes above and beyond.
We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Luwai Safari, and I honestly couldn’t recommend them more highly!
When I first started looking for a safari company on SafariBookings.com, I mainly focused on the number of reviews and the overall ratings. I contacted 4–5 different companies, and Luwai was the first to get back to me via WhatsApp. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent. They took all of our wishes seriously and completely customized the itinerary around what we wanted.
One example was our request to fly directly from the Serengeti to Zanzibar rather than spending an entire day driving back to Arusha just to catch our flight. Luwai made it work seamlessly. In the end, it wasn’t just the very competitive price that convinced us, but especially the personal communication and the willingness to tailor everything to our needs.
I have to admit that sending a significant amount of money outside Europe, without the same insurance and consumer protections I’m used to, initially made me a little nervous. Since Luwai had fewer reviews than some of the larger safari companies, I was wondering whether it might be worth paying a premium simply for the reassurance of booking with a bigger and more established operator.
Luwai completely put those concerns to rest. They provided us with all the relevant legal documentation, including tax registration, bank details and confirmations, tourist licences, and other documents. This gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind.
And looking back after the trip, I’m so happy that we chose the smaller company. It was honestly one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had.
A huge part of that is because you travel with Silas, the owner of Luwai, rather than simply being assigned a hired driver. You can genuinely feel how much he cares about his guests and how much passion he puts into his work. He did everything possible to make sure we had the best experience. Silas is extremely well-mannered, humble and friendly, and he has an incredible knowledge of wildlife and nature.
He also truly goes the extra mile — quite literally!
On our last day, I accidentally left my mobile phone in one of the tents. We had already boarded our flight to Zanzibar when I realized it was missing. Silas went back to retrieve it, arranged for it to be handed to a local pilot, and somehow managed to have it flown to us in Zanzibar on the very same day — completely free of charge. That level of personal service really says everything about the kind of person he is.
Throughout the entire safari, Silas listened carefully to what we wanted while also making valuable suggestions about how to structure our days and get the most out of our time. The combination of his knowledge, flexibility, personal attention and genuine passion made the trip truly special.
For us, choosing Luwai and Silas over one of the larger companies was absolutely the right decision. If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, I would wholeheartedly recommend giving this smaller, owner-operated company a chance. You get something that is difficult for a large tour operator to replicate: a genuinely personal experience with someone who cares deeply about making your trip unforgettable.
We sincerely hope Silas achieves his dream of opening his own tented camp in the Serengeti soon. We would be absolutely delighted to come back and celebrate with him when he does!
Thank you so much, Silas and Luwai, for the fantastic organization, incredible hospitality and unforgettable memories. We couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience!
All the very best,

He knows his game
The tour was amazing, we got to experience all there was to experience, perfect timing for a smooth educative ride. The guide was interactive and knew where exactly to be and at what time. We had an upclose experience with the beasts at their best behavior, totally one to redo.

Best experience of my life
Where do I begin. From start to finish this trip was nothing short of exceptional and an experience I’ll never forget. From the start, communication was fantastic with Frederick and Sedrick who answered all of our questions and concerns very quickly.
From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in good hands with our lead guide Onesmo and assistant guides Vincent, Jonathan and Jacqui. They became like our family over the course of the next 8 days as we did the Lemosho route. As did the entire crew who accompanied us up the mountain - the chefs, porters, tent and toilet engineers. It takes a small army to climb Kili, and each one of them works tirelessly to ensure you have everything you need.
We’d arrive every day to a fully set up camp, always in the best spots of the campsite with magnificent views. The food was delicious and abundant, you will never go hungry with these guys! We’d be woken every morning with a coffee and a bowl of hot water for washing.
Summit day was incredibly tough, and we couldn’t have done it without the guides and kili fighters who were with us every step of the way, carrying our daypacks and singing to us the whole way up, shouting words of encouragement and keeping our spirits high. It’s such an emotional experience and one I’ll never forget. If you’re thinking about doing Kili, Eco Africa is the ONLY company you should even think about using. Best experience of my life!
