A once-in-a-lifetime adventure with marvelous services
We looked for a Safari starting of and returing to Zanzibar. As it was our honeymoon we booked a private trip. For reference we booked the 2-Day Fly in & out Ngorongoro & Tarangire Luxury Safari.
The communication with Rafiki Tembo Tours and Safari was easy and kind from the first minute. We planned everything quite last minute (2 days before starting the trip) but Rafiki Tembo made it happen anyways. From the transfer to the flight everything was planned and easy to follow. On the arrival airport we directly meet our tour guide.
As we did the Safari he told us a lot about the animals and we were able to learn so much. Our safari guide was incredibly nice and considerate, as well as funny. He tried his best that we could see the big 5. We would highly recommend him to anyone for various reasons.
The provided food tasted delicious and was more then enough.
The Hotel we stayed in had a beautiful view but as we were pretty tiered we weren't able to enjoy much of the accommodation (Mawe Mawe Manyara Lodge). It's a bit old but it still got it's charm, and the staff was insanely nice as well. The road to the lodge was quite challenging but still okay.
We are very happy that we choose Rafiki Tembo Tours and Safari as operator. Trough the whole trip we were able to reach out and always got a quick answers. They are very transparent about the cost of the trip, so no surprises at anytime. It was really a beautiful honeymoon experience with some little details and surprises for our honeymoon we enjoyed a lot.

Jimmy was the best tour guide who showed us so much!
I went on a private group of 4 trip with our tour guide Jimmy. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and even more knowledgeable about the animal life. He was constantly doing his best to show us everything he could, and it did not take long for us to see all of the big 5 and even a serval. We only went for a 3-day, 2-night tour and it was genuinely life changing. It was very good for the cost and the accommodations were much better than I expected. I recommend this trip, and I really recommend our tour guide Jimmy!

Jimmy is THE man
This was a fantastic experience. Jimmy brought all of our dreams to reality. We saw more animals than we even expected. He never backed down from a challenge and made the whole experience.

Fantastic
The travel agency and the guide were absolutely, positively, incredibly amazing!
The guide's eyes were seriously superhuman. On the last day, when we were looking for rhinos in the crater, they were extremely far away. We eventually needed binoculars and had to focus for a while just to see them, but he could spot them precisely! He truly has eagle eyes—a man with built-in binoculars!
Moreover, the guide was very friendly. He patiently communicated with me even though my English isn't great, and he even helped me look up corresponding introductions in the Chinese "Wildlife Handbook."
Highly recommended!

An unforgettable adventure!
We had an amazing Safari in Tanzania! The landscapes were stunning, and the wildlife was incredible. The absolute highlight was watching a pride of lions feasting on a fresh kill just metres from our vehicle – such a raw and powerful sight. We were also lucky enough to spot a rare black rhino in the Ngorongoro Crater. An experience we will never forget! Highly recommended.

Wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else!
Throughout the entire safari Leisure Escapes was beyond accommodating. I worked with Esther to get our group of 6 out in Maasai Mara. Esther helped us with suggestions for flights, trains, and hotels to enhance our experience. We were also unsure of our group size at first and Esther worked with us and accommodated all of our needs.
We had the tour guide Ken. He was absolutely amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable and personable. Ken made sure we experienced the safari to its fullest potential, while still putting our safety first. Ken also accommodated us by stopping at an ATM and stores on the way to and from the train station.
We stayed at the Mara Simba Lodge and it was absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t recommend Leisure Escapes Safaris enough! It is perfect for all groups and our time in Kenya wouldn’t be the same without it.

Great experience
We make a 2 day Safari tour with Nafika.
It was a really good and interesting experience.
We visit 2 national parks Ngorongoro and Tarangire.
Both parks are beautiful. We had the opportunity to see the 5 five.
The Guide Steven all the time he was very professional, helpful, friendly, given very interesting information about animals and culture.
The food was very good. The lodge was very nice and comfortable.
I recommend Nafika 100‰ to do Safari's in Tanzania.
Asante sana Nafika, Steven and Elias for this great experience.
