A Journey We'll Never Forget
We had the privilege of spending four unforgettable days on safari, guided by the amazing Heaven Temba, followed by three relaxing days in the paradise of Zanzibar.
Before the trip, I carefully researched several local companies, and Wivi Agency stood out with glowing reviews and now, having lived the experience, I can wholeheartedly say those reviews were absolutely right. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully and flawlessly planned. Elias took the time to understand what we were looking for and selected the most perfect places for us to stay each one offering its own charm, comfort, and beauty.
But the heart of our safari was, without a doubt, our guide Heaven. His name couldn’t be more fitting.
Heaven brought the parks to life for us. His deep knowledge of the animals, the ecosystems, and the rhythms of the wild made every moment meaningful. Thanks to his experience and intuition, we witnessed breathtaking encounters: lions resting under acacia trees, a cheetah sprinting across the plains, playful hyenas, stealthy leopards, and the quiet majesty of hippos wallowing in the water.
And yet, it wasn’t just about what we saw it was about how we felt. Heaven’s calm, confident driving made us feel completely safe, even on the toughest park roads. But more than that, it was who he is warm, kind, easygoing, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He connected with all of us, especially my 8-year-old daughter Lucía, who lit up every time he shared a new animal fact or made her laugh with his stories.
The bond we formed in just a few days was something truly special. It felt less like we were being guided, and more like we were traveling with a friend who wanted to make sure we had the time of our lives and we did.
This trip was more than a holiday. It was a memory etched into our hearts a connection to nature, to people, and to a piece of the world that feels magical.
We are already dreaming of the day we can return.

BEST GUIDE IN AFRICA
Shafino was the absolute BEST! You will not want anyone else to show you the amazing wildlife Tanzania has to offer. He is knowledgeable and fun to be around. Our trip was a success because Shafino was so attentive and made sure we saw the animals we wanted.
His skill and knowledge of the national parks meant he knew where to find animals on all our game drives. We would definitely book again with him.

Amazing!
Camptrek booked my retirement luxury 12 day beach and safari to Tanzania and Kenya. They planned exactly what we wanted, down to every detail. They were very responsive during the whole process of planning, travel and accommodations. Our guides Issack and Eric were great and fun. They made sure we were able to see all our favorite animals with the most amazing pictures! Camptrek was the best!

Best African Experience
Very grateful with Sandra from Traipsing. From the moment I booked the safari, the communication was excellent, very clear, and incredibly helpful with all my questions and concerns. She provided detailed pre-trip information, making sure I was well-prepared and excited for the adventure. It felt like I was in great hands from the start eventhough english is no my first language. The service throughout the trip was nothing short of exceptional. Every staff member, from the lodge team to the safari guides, went above and beyond to ensure that we felt welcomed and taken care of. The safari itself was surreal—nothing could have prepared me for the breathtaking encounters with wildlife.

Excellent organization
We did a 3-day safari with we tour Africa safaris to see gorillas in Bwindi and golden monkeys in Volcanoes National Park. Everything was excellent — the organization was impeccable, and our guide Blair was amazing: very attentive, a great driver, and always willing to help. The gorilla experience was unforgettable, and I definitely recommend we tour africa safaris to anyone who wants to live this adventure.
