Possible fraud alert
Hekima Safaris required us to pay the full cost of our safari one month before our trip, despite our contract stating that the final instalment would be paid upon arrival. Hekima insisted they needed the full money before the trip to pay for the national park fees and secure the hotel reservations. However, our problems began immediately. On the first day, our guide had not been given money for fuel from HEKIMA and we had to advance USD 230 so the safari could even begin. We were accommodated in some hotels that were not those agreed in our contract, and at one lodge in the middle of Serengeti National Park we were required to pay USD 716 ourselves because, although Hekima Safaris had made the reservation, they had not paid the hotel. When we contacted the company, they claimed they were experiencing banking problems, leaving us with no alternative but to pay if we wanted somewhere to sleep that night.
The same pattern continued with the park fees. We were delayed entering Serengeti because the reservation was not valid, and later we were stranded for around five hours at the exit towards Ngorongoro because the required payments had not been made. During this time, the Hekima company stopped answering our calls and became unreachable. We lost the final day of our safari, because the guide abandoned us at another accomodation not payed by HEKIMA, instead spent it at the Tourist Police in Arusha filing a formal complaint. We are now taking legal action to recover the full cost of the safari, together with the additional expenses we were forced to pay because of the company’s failures! SEE YOU ON COURT, MOPOO!

Excellent attention to detail
I travelled with a friend to Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda with Wild Uganda. The service was at all times of the highest standard.
Both of our guides proved to be extremely good at providing information and carrying out any special requests we had. They were friendly and polite at all times.
The guides were also highly adept at spotting wildlife.
This company offers excellent value for money and if I return to East Africa, I will gladly travel with them again.

3 day trip to mikumi national park
Wild Gaze Safaris exceeded my expectations with their excellent service and attention to detail. The 3-day Mikumi National Park safari was well organized from start to finish, and the communication before the trip was clear and professional. Our guide was friendly, experienced, and very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the park. We enjoyed incredible game drives and saw elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, hippos, antelopes, and many beautiful birds. The accommodation was comfortable, the meals were good, and the safari vehicle was clean and ideal for wildlife viewing. The whole experience offered great value for money, and I would gladly recommend Wild Gaze Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

An Unforgettable Safari with Serengeti Smile
We had an incredible 6-day safari with Champion, our guide from Serengeti Smile.
Champion’s cheerful personality and positive energy made the entire trip so much fun. Thanks to his exceptional guiding skills and sharp eyes, we were able to see not only the Big Five but also the Ugly Five!
All of the accommodations arranged by Serengeti Smile were excellent as well. Our two-night stay in Karatu was especially unforgettable. The breathtaking views, the warm and friendly staff, and the delicious food made it a truly memorable experience.
If we ever return to Tanzania, we’d love to go on another safari with Champion. We already miss you, Champion! Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime.

Unforgettable experience and outstanding, professional support both before and during our trip
My family and I would like to sincerely thank you for an unforgettable experience and for the outstanding, professional support both before and during our trip. 😃
While we know we had a bit of luck on our side by seeing 4 of big5, including that incredible leopard sighting, it was the well preparation that ensured everything ran smoothly. We felt safe, genuinely welcome, and cared for every single step of the way. 🙏🏻
Jessica and our guide, David, and driver, Erasto, receive our highest compliments. Excellent preparation and pro-active services before the trip was well taken care of by Jessica. Beyond being an excellent guide and driver, David and Erasto stepped up as mechanics, teammates, interpretors, and true problem-solvers. They all were an absolute inspiration and the perfect ambassadors for your company.

Wonderful and friendly
Our driver guide Brian Ondigo was a friendly face from the get go. He made our group very comfortable and was able to judge our needs even before we asked. He made sure we were always comfortable in the car. He also explained about the wildlife and the park to us. He was also very accommodating to all our requests. We will definitely recommend him as a great driver guide for all tourists. Good luck Brian
