Excellent 3 day safari
As medical students from Norway spending time in Africa for our exchange program, we wanted to experience a safari, and choosing Utukufu Travels and Adventures was one of the best decisions we made.
Exaudy and his team provided exceptional service from start to finish. His knowledge of wildlife was incredible, and everything was organized perfectly. We always felt welcomed and comfortable around the team, whose hospitality went above and beyond.
The accommodations and food were amazing, and every hotel was chosen with great care. We will definitely encourage the next group of students coming to Africa to book their safari with Utukufu Travels and Adventures.
Wonderful Family Safari with Excellent Lodges and Attention to Detail
We had an outstanding experience with Tallena Tours and highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya and Tanzania.
A special thank you to Mercy, the owner, Victor, who handled our arrangements, and Philip, our guide and driver. From the time we booked until the end of the safari, Mercy and Victor stayed in touch to make sure everything was going smoothly and that the experience was meeting our expectations. Their attention and customer service were exceptional.
Our safari included Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara in Kenya, as well as the Serengeti in Tanzania. The accommodations selected by Tallena Tours, including the Sopa Lodges in Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara and Heritage Luxury Camp in the Serengeti, were excellent choices and fit perfectly within our selected budget while still providing a high quality experience.
Philip was knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated to making sure we had the best wildlife viewing opportunities possible. His experience and passion for wildlife made every game drive enjoyable and memorable.
What impressed us most was Tallena Tours’ ability to deliver a well organized, high quality safari while staying within our selected budget. Thank you, Mercy, Victor, and Philip, for an unforgettable adventure and memories that will last a lifetime.

A professional, very helpfull organization. Giving support throughout the whole safari, start to end
We booked a two-day safari in Nyerere National Park with Lekobe. The planning started while we were still at home, and the communication was good from the beginning. Lazier was helpful, replied quickly, and gave us an attractive offer. Shortly before the trip, we had some more contact, which was both professional and friendly.
We were picked up from our hotel at the agreed time by a good driver. At the airport, Lazier was waiting for us and helped us with the final arrangements. After landing, our safari guide David was already waiting for us with the Land Rover. David took his time, told us a lot about the animals we saw, and took very good care of us. He provided a delicious and generous breakfast and lunch. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The accommodation was excellent. Also when we came back to Zanzibar after the two day safari, Lazier was there to get us to the taxi which brought us back to the resort.
We are very happy that we booked this safari with a local company. The value for money was outstanding, and we highly recommend Lekobe to other travelers!

Best trip ever! Warm hospitality, amazing hotels, and unforgettable safaris with Jeff
This has been our best trip ever so far. We received such a warm welcome from Peter, and our journey through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli was absolutely incredible with Jeff as our guide.
Jeff is extremely knowledgeable about Kenya’s wildlife and truly goes above and beyond to make every game drive an unforgettable experience. He always made sure we spotted the highlight animals in each park and brought us to the best photo spots. On top of that, his driving was always safe and comfortable throughout the trip.
I would highly recommend booking with Edwin Safari and asking for Jeff if you’re planning to visit Kenya — you’ll be in great hands.
Also, every hotel selection was excellent and made the whole experience even more memorable.

Communication, quality and guides were excellent
We loved the two tours we did with King Mufasa. First we hiked Mount Meru. The guide Akle was amazing. He kept the energy high and was positive, knew a lot and took really good care of us. Also the other part of the crew was amazing. Everyone was so sweet and all was well arranged. Mount Meru itself was wonderful and would 100% recommend it! After that we did a three day safari to different parks. We stayed in beautiful lodges and also the guide Joel was very professional and knew a lot about the parks and the animals.
The communication with king mufasa especially with Davis was so good. From the start until the end everything was communicated so clearly.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with an Outstanding Team
Our safari guide, James Mwaura was truly exceptional and played a huge role in making our experience unforgettable. From the very beginning, he was supportive, approachable, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we had the best possible experience.
His knowledge of the wildlife, environment, and local culture was outstanding, and he was always happy to answer questions and share interesting insights. What stood out most was his understanding and patient nature. He took the time to listen to our preferences, adapted the itinerary where possible, and always made us feel valued and cared for.
Whenever we asked for advice—whether about wildlife spotting, photography, local customs, or travel plans—his recommendations were thoughtful, honest, and incredibly helpful. We always felt that he had our best interests at heart and was genuinely committed to making our safari special.
Professional, kind, reliable, and passionate about what he does, he exceeded all our expectations. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable safari experience and would not hesitate to travel with him again.
I would like to thank Chanson, who was simply amazing. He patiently worked with us to adapt and customise our itinerary based on our requests, ensuring the trip perfectly matched what we were looking for. No request was too much trouble, and his flexibility, professionalism, and dedication made the whole process stress-free.

The Most Amazing 2 Days!
We had the most amazing 2 day and 1 night safari with Black Santa. We are a group of 5 girls travelling to Kenya for the first time and Herbert gave us the best experience we could have ever asked for. We felt so comfortable in his company and every detail was covered including drinking water in the van. Herbert picked us up right outside our first hotel and dropped us at our next hotel in another location when the safari was finished which made the whole process so much easier. For only a 2 day safari we saw so much, and were lucky enough to see some of the harder to find animals. The communication with Herbert was excellent throughout the entire planning process and the value for money is excellent. He is so knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions we had. We will never forget this experience and would absolutely recommend using Black Santa safari tours to anyone! Thanks so much again!

Reliable, Value For Money, Genuine Safari Experts
My husband and I visited Tanzania in Jun 2026, it has always been our dream to see wildlife in their natural habitats and given that this was a big adventure for us, we spent a lot of time researching for the best guide, after all, your guide makes or breaks your experience. After comparing prices across 10 companies and going through all the reviews of guides, we eventually decided on Ndutu Greens and wanted Gilibert specifically as our guide
From the start Ndutu Greens was very responsive and detailed in their response but what truly impressed us during the trip was how amazing our guide Gilibert was, we had an exceptional safari experience because of Gilibert
He constantly went above and beyond, clearly communicated everything with his good English, if he says he will find a certain wildlife and make sure our experience is good, he really means it! Gilibert took us to many places where no one was that led us to find multiple rare sightings: 6 Black Rhinos, 7 Cheetahs (1 with 5 baby cheetah cubs), the great migration of the wildebeest in west Serengeti, a walking hippo, a lioness perched on the tree, a family of buffalos, a whole pond of pelicans! It was SOOO AMAZING and we were so engaged the whole time.
What’s even more impressive is how laser sharp Gilibert’s eyes are, he can spot different species from far away and is like a safari Wikipedia, he knows all the behaviour of each species and could clearly explain to us what they will do and why do they behave that way. He can spot whether these wildlife are female or male from afar too, he is even knowledgeable about birds!
He is a guide with 12 years of experience, he has a great sense of humor too and has many friends along the way which makes the experience very uplifting and fun as a whole!
Gilibert is a great conversationalist and can hold good conversations about anything under the sun, we felt like a friends and it was such a wonderful trip! He is someone who works hard, always gives his best for his guest
Thank you for giving us such an amazing safari experience and allowed us to experience the wonderful hospitality of Tanzania, we will be back! 😊
