We booked our tour to Addis Ababa & City Tour, Gondar – Simien Mountains National Park, and Lalibela through Essence Ethiopia Tours, and they were excellent throughout.
From the knowledgeable tour guides to the overall organisation and constant monitoring of our trip, everything was handled very professionally and smoothly.
A big shout-out to Tsehaynew for the excellent coordination and support throughout our journey. We would highly recommend Essence Ethiopia Tours to anyone planning a trip to Ethiopia.

Funny guy!
Unforgettable Safari Experience with Melita!
Our safari tour was absolutely perfect from start to finish! A huge thank you to our fantastic guide, Melita, who made this trip an absolute highlight.
We had a wishlist of animals we desperately wanted to see, and thanks to Melita's incredible skill, patience, and sharp eyes, we actually saw every single one! It was truly magical.
What impressed us most was how much time Melita took for us. Never rushing, always answering every question with incredible enthusiasm and deep knowledge, and ensuring we had the absolute best spots for viewing and photos. You can feel a genuine passion for nature and wildlife in every moment.
If you are looking for a perfectly organized, warm, and successful safari, you are in the best possible hands with Melita. We would book this exact tour again in a heartbeat!

Professional service, excellent guides and accommodation
Having joined this dual adventure over December 2025 from the Serengeti to Mt. Kilimanjaro, I couldn’t agree more with the praise for Wakanda Safari. Everything from the logistics to the comfortable accommodations was handled seamlessly.
Serengeti to Arusha with Elia: Elia was outstanding. With his environmental science background, his deep knowledge of animal behavior, plant species, and local ecology turned every game drive into a masterclass. Beyond his expertise, he is genuinely humble, polite, and welcoming—an absolute pleasure to travel with.
Kilimanjaro Trek: Our mountain guide was equally incredible. His command of the terrain, flora, and fauna kept us engaged the entire climb. He carried our food, kept us well-fed, and guided us down safely with immense care. I was so grateful for his dedication that missing the chance to tip him in cash on the spot has been bugging me ever since—something I am making sure to rectify now!
Wakanda Safari employs top-tier guides who truly make the experience. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable Serengeti and Ngorongoro camping trip!
Jeremy made our 3-day camping safari with Suricata Safaris truly special. He knew exactly where to find the animals and explained everything so well throughout the drive. Sleeping in tents out in the wild was an amazing experience, and the entire arrangement was handled smoothly.

A Peaceful Side of TanzaniaA Peaceful Side of Tanzania
Instead of focusing on the famous parks, this tour introduced me to a quieter and greener side of Tanzania. Arusha National Park was beautiful, with forests, open grasslands, and wonderful views of Mount Meru.
The canoe ride on Lake Duluti was surprisingly peaceful, and I enjoyed listening to birds while drifting across the calm water. Our guide shared interesting stories about the local environment and wildlife without making the tour feel like a lecture.
Everything was well arranged, and the relaxed pace allowed me to truly enjoy the surroundings. I would recommend this experience to anyone who loves nature and wants a break from busy safari schedules.

Our travel operator was exceptional—professional, knowledgeable, friendly and attentive.
Our Zimbabwe safari was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We thoroughly enjoyed every one of our stays at Somalisa, Nyamatusi, Bumi Hills and The Wallow Lodge, with each camp offering something unique and unforgettable.
If we could change one thing, we would have stayed three nights at each camp instead of two, as we simply didn’t want to leave! Based on the wonderful feedback from fellow guests we met along the way, we would also love to add Botswana to our next safari.
African Bush Camps were exceptional from start to finish. The people genuinely made us feel like part of the family, and the hospitality, service and attention to detail were incredible. The wildlife and animal sightings were absolutely phenomenal and created memories we will treasure forever.
A special mention must go to Lynn Bowers, who was outstanding throughout the entire planning process and our trip. She made everything so easy and was always available, checking in on us throughout our safari to make sure everything was going smoothly. Her knowledge, organisation and personal care made such a difference, and we will absolutely be booking through Lynn again for our next safari.
Thank you to everyone who made our Zimbabwe adventure so incredibly special — we’re already looking forward to the next one!

Very responsive and flexible with all requests.
Denis was very responsive when organising the trip and amended the tour many times to suit our needs. He was easily contactable on WhatsApp and responded very quickly, the whole booking process was very easy.
Our tour guide was Alex, he made a good trip even better ! He is so attentive, always on time, extremely knowledgeable and always got the best spot for viewing and pictures, not just of the animals but of the landscape as well.
We saw all of the big 5 and ugly 5 and again this would be all thanks to Alex, he was always in communication finding the best encounters.
Alex also has a great sense of humour which made the trip even better especially when you spend a lot of time together in the Jeep.
The accommodations were amazing that are part of Morning Star but overall Alex made the entire experience and we are so happy he was our guide!
