Mwita (Man of the Serengeti) could spot a needle in a haystack
The safari visited popular safari destinations of north Tanzania, including Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and of course Serengeti National Park. Every day brought a new adventure and Mwita expertly guided us to everything we asked for and more.

Amazing wildlife and nature safari in Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe
A fantastic opportunity to visit four countries in one go – something we’d never have done otherwise. The tour operator was easily reachable via WhatsApp both before and during the trip, ensuring you start your journey well prepared and have access to the most important information at any time of the day. Every evening you receive a message telling you what time you’ll be picked up the next day, and this is repeated again in the morning by your first guide. In each country, you’re shown around by a different guide, but you’re safely handed over at the border by the previous one. You’re never left on your own, so you’re completely safe. The accommodations are very clean and all include a freshly prepared breakfast. Even if you’ve to leave early, they ensure breakfast is ready. The tour of the waterfalls is absolutely brilliant; our guide took a different route so we could see more of the waterfalls and get less wet. Which was welcome, as it was pouring with rain due to the sheer force of the water ;-) The safari in the private park in Zimbabwe was truly unique; we’d never have found our way there on our own, but it gave us the chance to see the black rhino! After the evening safari, a delicious three-course dinner awaits you at the nearby hotel. You then cross the border into Botswana, where a river cruise and two magnificent safaris in Chobe NP await you. We saw so many animals thanks to our dedicated guides! On all the safaris, the jeeps were very luxurious, so despite the bumpy roads, you were comfortable and had a good view. Drinks and light refreshments were provided. The service we received throughout the trip was fantastic; we had a flat tyre in Chobe National Park and had to wait, but this meant we got to spend extra time in the park. The trip to Namibia is also fantastic. It isn’t a big place, but the interaction with the local community is amazing. Please note that at the Namibian border you can only pay by card, whereas the KAZA visa and the Zimbabwean visas must be paid for in cash in USD. In short, a superbly organised trip during which we’re able to discover the nature and wildlife at this quadripoint. Highly recommended!

Incredible moments!
Absolutely amazing! Fully recommended if you planning to visit Tanzania! Mike organised everything from the airport up to my next destination. Bernard, our Safari driver was the nicest and trustworthy person ever! We got to see most of the animals thanks to him for a good value of money, Thank you! I will definitely come back and book through you as I have nothing else to say apart from thank you for making my visit incredible.

Well curated , Safe and memorable safari experience.
We were more than happy with the excellent service provided by Safari connect. We had booked from UAE through our local travel agent.
This was our first trip to Africa and we were very skeptical about the whole tour. But all our apprehensions were solved from the first day itself.
Mr Juma, our guide cared for us like family and left us with no concerns. All the accommodations provided were excellent and good value for money spent. Juma made the safari comfortable, although the travel was tough.The Landcruiser vehicle was well maintained and gave us no trouble through out the six days. We had no bad experiences through out the journey. Juma is an excellent driver, host and guide with many many years of experience, who knows the terrain and its limitations. The communication skills were excellent and we have no hesitation in recommending the company and Juma, our english speaking guide. We are indeed thankful to you guys for making me and my wife's first trip to Africa, a very safe and memorable experience.

Superbly organized, safe, flexible and personal!
My father (64) and I (27) from Germany booked the 9-day safari, and it was absolutely amazing. We saw the Big Five and felt like we had more luck than any of the other groups. Our guide, Ossmann, was super laid-back, friendly, and funny, and he really made an effort to organize things in a way that allowed for spontaneity. Everything was perfectly organized, the food was consistently delicious, and the hotels were excellent choices given the locations. It included everything you’d imagine in a safari experience, and we would highly recommend this tour.

A tour operator that feels like family
Right from the start we could tell Abduille would make sure we had the dream vacation we all wanted. He talked to us on the phone several times and answered all our questions to plan a customized trip that was perfect for our family of 5. He talked us through all our lodge options and helped us pick the very best ones for us.
Our itinerary including Arusha national park, Tarangire, Lake Mynara, Ngorogoro crater and the Serengeti.
We told them we were really interested in learning about the animals as much as we could so we were paired with their naturalist Guide Richard. We couldn’t have been paired with a more perfect guide, he took care of everything for us and made sure we had the perfect experience. This man could spot wildlife like no other, he would see a dot in the middle of nothing and realize it was an animal. He took the time with each animal explaining their behavior to us and fun facts. His passion for the animals and his job was always in the forefront.
The whole team at Wito checked in with is several times throughout the trip to make sure we didn’t need anything. At one point the camera we rented broke and they went above and beyond to remedy the situation to make sure our vacation wasn’t ruined.
I would recommend this company for a truly customized safari experience that fits you perfectly. They treat you as if it was their own family going.
Amazing!!!
I had an incredible Victoria Falls tour with Africa Moja Tours that exceeded all expectations. The tour started on time and was very well organized. The breathtaking views, rising mist, and roar of the falls made every viewpoint unforgettable.
We thoroughly enjoyed stopping at the different viewpoints to take in the spectacular scenery and nature around us. The trails leading to the viewpoints were also exceptionally well maintained, the walk was comfortable, safe, and enjoyable which allowed us to fully appreciate the surrounding landscape.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Victoria Falls. The spectacular scenery and exceptional guiding made it a truly memorable experience.

Reliable, Transparent, Trustworthy and Seamless execution
Our experience with Morning Star has been amazing throughout. We have enquired with a few tour operators for a private safari and decided to go ahead with Morning Star because of their transparency. Their quote had a clear breakup of the costs which made it easy for us to finalise the itinerary.
Doreen was our go-to-person right from the very start. She was very patient in answering our queries and put together a great itinerary for us. She customised it whenever we needed any changes. Her suggestions and inputs were quite good. She is quite organised and was continuously checking on us every night of the trip asking how we enjoyed that day.
Special mention to James who was our tour guide. He was like the guardian during our 5-day trip. He is kind and funny. I needed a SIM card but they were accepting only a local id. James helped us get the sim by registering the sim on his name. He has superb knowledge about the safari and the region in general. We had some nice conversations on various topics. He is quite punctual and was always ready to leave on time. He has a good taste in music and was our in-house DJ during our long drives.
The accommodation options suggested were quite comfortable and the properties we finalised turned out to be quite good. It was nice of Doreen to get us an upgrade of the property at Masai Mara.
Overall it has been a pleasant experience for us with Morning Star and we truly recommend their services.
