A well-structured tour with a great driver
+ Communication was clear, all questions were answered promptly, Ton is very responsive. The driver Mahmud was fantastic - the ride to the park was very smooth, on the safari itself he was attentive and very good at spotting animals & providing explanations. We also liked that he quickly noticed that we are rather "calm" explorers and provided us with a lot of personal space; at the same time, he was always making sure our needs are met.
- The car was a bit dusty, particularly the seats; however, we acknowledge that it might be hard to keep it in shape each tour due to the amount of sand that gets in; the day-plan could have an approximate hourly plan for orientation

Great value
I book last minute for a holiday safari. He pulled together a nice package for us. Plus as residents of Kenya, he didn’t try to gouge us on pricing! He just made a long term client of us by offering great value and great packages. Happy to find out he does safaris in other countries too!

Amazing 4 Day safari experience
The experience was truly amazing we managed to see almost all the animals! Our driver, juma , was very kind, patient, and helpful. He made sure we saw everything and always took his time with us. The accommodations were also excellent, very comfortable, and well organized.
10/10 — highly recommended!

Morningstar is a guarantee of quality and reliability
This was my second safari with Morningstar. The first one was in Kenya, and when I decided to visit Tanzania, I immediately chose them again because of how easy the booking process is, their prompt responses, and their clear and efficient communication.
Once again, everything was organized to perfection. The tented camps and hotels were located in stunning places, the experiences were truly unique and will stay with me for a lifetime, also the 4x4 vehicle was in perfect condition.
I must say that my guide Jackson was absolutely outstanding. He was always attentive to our needs, promptly answering all of our questions and making us feel like an integral part of Tanzania and its breathtaking landscapes. Furthermore, our guide was always punctual, drove the vehicle with great skill, and ensured that we felt completely safe at all times. The vehicle was always well-maintained as well. Additionally, our guide was a delightful person to chat with, sharing the beauty of their country with passion and knowledge.

Amazing, highly recommend
We did a 6-day safari tour with Hekima and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide Juma went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. His deep knowledge of wildlife, positive attitude, and great sense of humor created an amazing vibe within the group from day one. Thanks to him, we were lucky to see all of the Big Five and even witness the great wildebeest migration in Northern Serengeti.
A special mention goes to Chef Baraka, who did an excellent job preparing three delicious meals every day. The food was consistently fresh, tasty, and well presented. My partner celebrated her birthday during the trip, and Chef Baraka went out of his way to bake her a cake and organize a small celebration, which made the moment incredibly special and memorable.
Hekima is a very well-organized company. Everything was arranged with great attention to detail, and communication between the office, guides, drivers, and chefs was excellent. While small itinerary changes can sometimes happen, everything was handled professionally and smoothly, ensuring the experience remained enjoyable and stress-free.
Overall, we felt well taken care of from start to finish. We highly recommend Hekima to anyone looking for a professional, warm, and unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania.

Safari in tanzania
We were fortunate to be accompanied for 10 days of safari in Tanzania’s parks by Jackson , an outstanding guide . Always punctual, professional, and discreet, he made each day enjoyable and well-organized without ever being intrusive.
The tour was planned down to the smallest detail: transfers ran smoothly, and the stops in the various parks allowed us to fully experience the beauty and diversity of African nature.
The accommodations that welcomed us during the journey lived up to expectations, offering comfort and hospitality that made the experience even more memorable.
A trip we wholeheartedly recommend to anyone wishing to discover Tanzania with the assurance of being guided by serious and passionate professionals.

9-Day Tanzania Safari Adventure - Wild Serenity Safaris - 4,5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⯪
✅ Pros / Overall Experience (in chronological order)
Arusha city & local driver (from Gasper) – the driver provided in Arusha (city transfers only, before the safari) was a big plus. He took us everywhere we wanted to go around the city and always made sure we felt safe.
Waterfalls, Kilimanjaro foothills & coffee plantation – the waterfall itself is a nice addition, but combined with the coffee plantation visit it made for a truly great and well-organized day. We strongly recommend choosing the plantation tour.
Safari experience & wildlife – we saw almost all animals from the Big Five (except the rhino). Lions extremely close to the car (walking right next to it!), lots of zebras, elephants, leopards, giraffes, cheetahs, hippos, as well as many other animals, monkeys, and countless bird species.
Safari driver Adrian (from Gasper) – very professional and knowledgeable. He answered all our questions, reacted quickly to radio information about animal sightings, and made sure we reached the right places fast to see as much wildlife as possible. He truly tried to show us as much as he could.
Food during the safari – meals were well organized and good, especially considering safari conditions.
Accommodation – lodges were generally very good for African standards, clean and comfortable.
❌ Cons
Communication with the organizer – information about the plan for the next day was often provided too late, sometimes only after 10:00 PM. Because of this, we couldn’t order breakfast for a specific time, as we didn’t know whether departure would be at 5:00 AM or 9:00 AM.
Shortened safari day (Ngorongoro Crater) – one safari day was partially lost. We spent only about 3 hours in the crater and were back at the hotel around 2:00 PM, because part of the group had to be driven to the airport. This should have been split into two separate groups: those leaving and those continuing the safari.
Rhino sightings – seeing a rhino is very difficult and requires a lot of luck.
💡 Tips
Always ask in advance whether the organizer plans to shorten a safari day due to airport transfers.
Check the distance between accommodations and national parks — sometimes the drive can take 1–1.5 hours one way. Choosing something closer can save a lot of time.
Staying inside the safari park (especially Serengeti) is absolutely worth it. We highly recommend booking at least one night there — sunrise over the Serengeti feels like a scene from The Lion King 🦁🌅
⭐ Overall Recommendation – 8-Day Trip
We highly recommend an 8-day itinerary, which felt perfectly balanced and not rushed:
Day 1 – Exploring Arusha
Day 2 – Waterfalls, Mount Kilimanjaro foothills & coffee plantation
Days 3–4 – Serengeti National Park
Day 5 – Ngorongoro Crater
Day 6 – Tarangire National Park
Day 7 – Lake Manyara
This plan allows you to experience different parks, landscapes, and wildlife without feeling rushed.
