Wonderful and exciting safari with Zepha
One of the most exciting experiences of safari just better than we could imagine.
During our trip of 6 day safari with wakanda the organisation was perfect from the first contact with the agency throw our trip till our departure.
As we contacted Wakanda Serengeti, Gwen took care of us as fast as we texted them, she explained all the details of the trip, discussed all the packages and options of accommodation and helps us to confirm our reservation.
Before our arrival they fixed all things concerning our trip and contacted us as we arrived to Tanzania.
Their driver took us from the airport and the adventure started without any stress.
After that we landed in Serengeti aerodrome and we meet our guide Zephania, such a person, with a lot of qualities, very professional, helpful in all moments, a good guide with large knowledge of nature and animals, and passionate person with his work who never get tired during long days of game driving, he just made our safari wonderful.
All the team off Wakanda knew how to care about us from programation, flight, car transfers, comfort of accommodation, quality of restoration, lagage management...
We feel sincerly grateful to Wakanda Serengeti and we wish we can return for another adventure with them.

Private and Personal
I shared my safari bucket list with Gift of Natalia Tours, and they truly made it happen.
I wasn’t looking for a traditional luxury hotel or resort. I wanted an authentic Serengeti experience—staying in a comfortable glamping tent right by the river, surrounded by nature and close enough to fall asleep to the sounds of the wild and wake up completely immersed in the landscape.
At the same time, I wanted comfort: comfortable beds, an outdoor shower with hot water, excellent food, and attentive staff who made us feel safe, welcomed, and genuinely connected to our surroundings.
Natalia Tours understood exactly what we were looking for—and found the perfect fit.
We also had very specific expectations for our safari experience. We wanted a guide who was knowledgeable but also fun, engaging, and easygoing—not overly formal or focused on giving constant lectures. At the same time, safety and attentiveness were extremely important to us. Natalia Tours struck that balance perfectly, making the entire experience both enjoyable and relaxed while ensuring we always felt safe.
The attention to detail throughout the trip was equally impressive. We had a clean, comfortable safari vehicle with a great sound system, and everything was thoughtfully arranged to make the journey smooth and enjoyable.
And then there were the highlights on our bucket list: close encounters with wildlife, a hot air balloon safari, and witnessing the Great Migration river crossing. Staying so close to the river allowed us to witness the wildebeest river crossing twice—an absolutely unforgettable experience. We had very specific hopes for each of these experiences, and Natalia Tours delivered in so many ways.
What I appreciated most was that this never felt like a standard, one-size-fits-all safari. They listened to what we wanted and created an experience around it.
This is the kind of travel that stays with you long after you leave.
I highly recommend Natalia Tours for a customized Serengeti safari—especially for anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized experience with reasonable pricing and exceptional attention to detail. They made our safari bucket list a reality, and we couldn’t have asked for a more memorable experience.

The Safari of a Lifetime with Witson
Our safari experience exceeded every expectation and will remain one of the most unforgettable journeys of our lives.
A very special thank you goes to our guide, Witson, who was simply outstanding. His knowledge, passion, patience, and dedication were remarkable. Thanks to his expertise and determination, we were able to see an incredible variety of wildlife and enjoy countless breathtaking sightings throughout our trip. What impressed us most was his ability to find the perfect locations while often avoiding the large crowds of safari vehicles.
Many times, we were able to observe animals with no other cars nearby, making the experience feel authentic, intimate, and truly special.
We would also like to express our heartfelt appreciation to Lala Salama Lodge. The lodge itself is wonderful, but what truly sets it apart is its people. Every member of the staff welcomed us with genuine warmth and kindness from the moment we arrived. We felt at home throughout our stay. The hospitality, attention to detail, and friendly atmosphere were exceptional and made our safari experience even more memorable.
A special thank you also goes to Aishwarya, who organized our trip flawlessly from start to finish. Everything was well planned, communication was always excellent, and every detail was thoughtfully arranged. Her professionalism and commitment allowed us to relax and simply enjoy every moment of our journey.
To Witson, the entire team at Lala Salama Lodge, and Aishwarya: thank you for creating memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. We cannot recommend you highly enough and hope to return one day.
Asante sana for an incredible experience!

Great adventure and experience!
We had an amazing experience with Go Serengeti African Tours and can highly recommend them to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania. We booked a 3-day safari (2 nights) as part of our honeymoon, and it became one of the highlights of our trip.
Our tour operator, Namayani, was extremely helpful, professional and easy to communicate with. She assisted us with the booking, recommendations, transportation and all our questions before and during the trip. Communication was always quick and helpful, and she even helped arrange an upgrade of our accommodation when our needs changed during the safari. This made a big difference and helped make our honeymoon even more enjoyable.
Our guide, Julius, was excellent. He was a very experienced and skilled driver who navigated the challenging Serengeti roads in a way that made us feel safe and in good hands. Thanks to his experience, he knew where to go and helped us see exactly what we had hoped for — including the Great Migration and a wide variety of amazing animals in both the northern and central Serengeti. He was also very knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions about the animals and nature.
Overall, we found Go Serengeti African Tours reliable, flexible and genuinely committed to giving us a great experience. We felt well taken care of throughout the safari, and it was a fantastic addition to our honeymoon.
Our advice to other travelers is to research what you want from your safari and communicate your wishes clearly with the tour operator, as well as looking into the different types of accommodation and what to expect.
We are very happy we chose Go Serengeti African Tours, and we can highly recommend Namayani and Julius!

Fun, accommodating and professional
Patrick is a fantastic communicator and was in touch well before we arrived in Tanzania. Once there, the service was excellent. All our needs were met and we saw and authentic and extremely fun side on Tanzania. The trip up Mt. Kilimanjaro was well managed and had all the amenities we could ask for. The porters were so much fun and always had a smile on their faces.

Colours Africa - Amazing, Guide Goodluck - Expert
Being in Canada, I was nervous to book direct with a company in Tanzania but my hesitation was unfounded. Colours put together a custom 13 day tour including an 8 day safari and finish on Zanzibar. I worked with Hatibu Yasini as the coordinator. He was incredibly responsive and worked hard to put together a trip that was exactly what we were looking for. Communication was easy and professional. He put together a comprehensive Quote with photos and itinerary. Once we landed in Tanzania we didn't have to worry about anything including transportation. The accommodation arranged was exactly as expected or better. We wanted a 5 star experience and that is what we received. Who would have known there were incredible hotels in the middle of the Serengeti! Our favourites were Melia Serengeti Lodge and Elephant Springs but all were very good. We did not have to worry about a thing - drivers were polite, clean vehicles and on time. When we had questions during our trip, Hatibu was always there to support and respond day or night. We were celebrating a milestone and Hatibu went above and beyond with a banner on the back of the jeep and celebrations along the way at the hotels.
Our Safari Guide Goodluck was AMAZING! Expert in his field. There wasn't a question he could not answer - he knew everything from animals to plants, animal tracks and more. He saw and found things that we simply would have overlooked. Goodluck was also very kind, polite and professional with an excellent sense of humour which was so important when you spend whole days with someone you have never met. Goodluck worked very hard to make sure we saw and learned everything that was of interest to us. He even managed to find White AND Black Rhinos which are very rare. Goodluck made this once in a lifetime experience incredible. We feel very lucky and blessed to have had him as our guide.

Exceptional safari experience with a great guide, perfectly organized and worth every penny.
We are a couple in our early 30s and spent an incredible safari with Samora Explorers in August, visiting Tarangire, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. We absolutely loved every part of the experience and would highly recommend the tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari in Tanzania.
We were incredibly lucky to see all of the Big Five multiple times. Some of our absolute highlights were huge lion prides with their cubs in the Serengeti, a tree-climbing leopard, rhinos super close to our vehicle, and elephants bathing right in front of us. The wildlife experiences were truly beyond what we had hoped for.
A huge part of what made the safari so special was our guide, Reggie. He was extremely experienced, knowledgeable and always happy to answer all of our questions. He also drove very safely and professionally. We had two flat tires during the trip – which can simply happen on safari – and on both occasions we happened to be right next to lions! Reggie handled both situations incredibly calmly, quickly and professionally, which made us feel completely safe.
We also really enjoyed the evenings, when we often had dinner together with Reggie. It was always relaxed, fun and very sociable, and we really appreciated getting to know him beyond the safari itself.
The communication with Samora Explorers before the trip was also excellent. Every question, request and change was answered within just a few hours, always in a very friendly and helpful way. Even short-notice requests were accommodated whenever possible, which made the whole planning process completely stress-free.
Overall, this was an amazing experience from beginning to end. We would absolutely book with Samora Explorers again and can highly recommend them – and especially Reggie as a guide. The safari was worth every penny!

Very well organized and extremely professional staff
Everything was really well arranged . Our driver Alex was amazing , he gave us so much valuable information before we actually reached the reserve . Very funny too ! Then we did the game drives with T-min ( we nicknamed him Mark 5) and he made sure we spot as many animas as possible . Overall we would highly recommend their tour .
