Thomas was Very knowledgeable and accommodating
The tour was eye opening. MoAfrika Tours have fantastic guides who are reliable and punctual.

Well Done, Hermosa.
Hermosa Life did a good job with all the trip arrangements.
It was an exciting adventure and I had a wonderful time in Rwanda.

Derrick was cool, but quiet, didn't say much during game drives, and seemed rushed.
Overall, everything went very well. Communication with the agency was excellent, and the staff were friendly. However, the day we left for the park, we left much later than planned and couldn't go to the Maasai Village. Furthermore, we entered the park late and left early on the other two days of the game drive. So we felt like we lost valuable time in the park and the opportunity to see more animals. This wasn't a good thing, considering the monetary cost of hiring a safari service.

Ok
Very good value for money. Excellent organization before the safari. They were ready to answer to any question anytime. The car was good. The Safari was amazing but we had some problem with our driver. The lodges were low quality but clean, good for the price and they offered very good food! We saw all the animals, from elephants, lions, zebras, hypos etc. we had some problems with our guide that left us the second day without any information about what we should do the next day. The visit to Masaai village was cancelled day by day without any information but at the end we got a refund for that. At the time of the payment they didn’t have change so we supposed to have it back the last day of the tour but we didn’t. Finally after over one month and a thousand messages sent I had my money back. Very good for the price after all.

Great safari experience
I recently did a mobile camping safari with Sekanka Safaris and had a fantastic experience.
The team was professional, friendly, and provided everything we needed. The guide was very pleasant and an excellent driver, always ethical with the animals, though his wildlife knowledge was limited — as a guide myself I could fill in, but clients without prior knowledge might miss some details.
Overall, I highly recommend Sekanka Safaris and will definitely use them for future tours.

Professional and positive experience
Doreen was a great guide. We managed to see 3 of the 5 Big Five, including a young leopard cub feeding off a zebra that its mother had dragged to the tree at another point. Positive energy, great group. Definitely recommend.

Excellent service and unforgettable wildlife encounters
I first got in touch with Big Cat through BookingSafari back in February. At the time, I was speaking with a few different local operators and had some good conversations with other sales reps too. But overall, Joshua from Big Cat gave me the best impression. He was always patient and responsive, and very reliable whenever we had questions or special requests.
We already had a few camps and a rough route in mind, so the communication was smooth and efficient. Once we got the final quotes and confirmed the camps we wanted, we decided to go with Big Cat right away. Then came a long wait of almost six months before our actual trip at the end of September.
On our first night, we were welcomed by the manager who carefully went over all the key information with us. He was friendly and very detailed, which made us feel well taken care of. The next morning, we took a small domestic flight to the northern Serengeti, where our guide Lovio was already waiting for us. He led us through an amazing Safari journey. On the very first day, we were lucky enough to witness two river crossings by wildebeests. Over the next few days, we managed to see almost all the animals we hoped for, except the black rhino which was a bit too far away.
Lovio’s vehicle did break down twice during the trip. The first time, it caused some delays, but after the car was fixed, he really gave his best effort to help us spot more wildlife. The second time it happened was on the way to Ngorongoro Crater. Honestly, I guess we were just too lucky in our own way, since not everyone gets this kind of “experience,” right?
On the last afternoon, while we were heading back to Arusha, I suddenly came down with acute food poisoning. Lovio was incredibly helpful and brought us to two hospitals to make sure I got the treatment I needed. Luckily, my condition was under control by that night, and I was able to catch my international flight the next day without issues.
I’m truly grateful to Big Cat and especially to our guide Lovio. This trip gave us unforgettable memories. I hope the next time I visit Tanzania for another Safari, I’ll have the chance to meet them again.

Everything is fine, sometimes respond nit in time
Everything is fine, except that the hotels booked by the agent often do not have hot water

Best last minute decision
We contacted Bush and Forest a day before our Safari but still couldn't decide. Woke up early the following morning and called Joshua again. Without hesitation he started to make arrangements and 2hrs later we started our trip to Tarangire national park. Our guide Peter was great, very informative and helpful.
I made lasting memories with my family and saw some animals for the first time.
Would certainly use this company again.
