Everything was superb and I cannot recommend JIWE adventures highly enough.
We hiked Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route and then spent 4 days on safari afterwards. Edgar was highly professional and the trio was superb. He communicated quickly anss attended to every detail. The value was excellent. The cost was very reasonable and the guides were amazing - knowledgeable, safe, fun, encouraging. The food was quite good and the porters were helpful, fun, and kind. I highly recommend hiking Kilimanjaro and taking a Safari and 100% doing both with JIWE adventures. It was truly an extraordinary experience from beginning to end.

Amazing trip with an amazing guide
The trip was just amazing. Our guide Albert was very friendly, patient and good at locating the animals we wanted to see. He did not go back to the camp, before we found the animals we were looking for.
The pickup from the hotel was easy as well, and everything seemed organized and professional.
Thanks for a great trip!

Completely suggest anyone to do it.

Romantic 13 Day Safari
Our experience with Taswira was excellent from beginning to end.
Before the trip, Caroline was very helpful and responsive in answering all our questions and helping us to customize an itinerary to fit our budget and everything we wanted to see and do.
From the moment we arrived in Africa, George stepped in and made sure we had everything we needed for the rest of the trip. The jeep was spacious and surprisingly comfortable for the long hours we spent bouncing around on the unpaved roads. There was never a lack of clean drinking water or cold local beers wherever we went, and he made sure all of the park gates and hotel check-ins went smoothly.
George was also great about customizing our meals, free time, and game drives based on what we wanted and how we were feeling. Once we got to the Serengeti, he let us choose between trying to find and follow the Migration, stay closer to the camp, or go chasing down specific animals if we could. At one point, he got a hot tip about a leopard, and knowing we hadn’t seen one yet, managed to get us to the right tree just before it left. When we had just about lost hope of ever seeing a wild rhino at Ngorongoro Crater, George managed to spot one with the binoculars from over a mile away!
Knowing we were interested in local food and culture, he set us up with a walking tour and local lunch in one of the villages on our way back to the airport, even though it wasn’t on the original itinerary. We also just enjoyed talking with George and all the resort staff about the area, the animals, and had some great conversations. The meals were always good, whether it was a 5-course hotel dinner or a picnic lunch on the hood of the jeep. The coffee and tea are excellent and always grown locally, which was a wonderful surprise for me. All of our rooms in each lodge were better than in the pictures, with all of them – even the tent – having spacious layouts, high ceilings, and incredible views. We had a herd of waterbuck less than 10 feet from our balcony at Rhino Lodge, and needed a staff member to chase away a water buffalo that kept guarding our tent at Hippo Trail Camp!
When we finished our Safari section of the trip, we went to Zanzibar with a local guide and driver that was supplied by Taswira. We toured Stone Town and Prison Island, learning all about the history of Zanzibar. On the way to our final destination, we toured a spice farm and had lunch there with fresh fruit and spices grown right there. We ended our trip with a couple of days at an ocean resort in Nungwi, which included snorkeling off of Mnemba Island as well as swimming with sea turtles!
We loved every minute of our trip, and couldn’t have asked for a better guide to show us the wonders of Tanzania.

Everything is taken well care of and you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
We were searching for a safari trip when we were home, but thought it was all really expensive. We were going on a holiday to Zanzibar and thought a one-day safari would be enough. We learned here that it would be better to go for at least 2 days and so we did.
It was absolutely amazing. Everything was really well taken care of. The transfer came to pick us up en brought us to the airport. There we had another person welcoming us en leading us to the right place to sit and wait for check in time to open. Once it was he walked with us to the waiting line. He explained very clear where to stand and go and so we did. The flight was very good in a small plane. Once we landed there was a jeep waiting for us with our personal driver. He brought us to the best places where we were able to see almost all the animals that live in this savanna. We had lunch in the park en were brought to the camp whenever we wanted to. Once we arrived there we could enter our room and rest en wait for dinner. The next day we were picked up after breakfast. We went on a boat safari which was also really great to see. After that we got a tour through the village and the guide leading us had so many things to tell as well. Afterwards he took us back to the jeep and we went back to the camp. Here we had lunch and had some time to rest before going back to the airport to fly back to Zanzibar. It was an amazing experience and we are really happy we were able to do this trip.

Absolutely amazing experience and we would not hesitate to book another safari with them.
Our 6-day Camping Safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris was an overall incredibly amazing experience!
Bartho, who handled our booking and planning process, was very well organized, professional and was responding quickly to all our requests.
The Safari itself was absolutely fantastic. We got to see loads of different animals and also the scenery in the different nationalparks along our thought out route was amazing. Our accommodations were 2 nights budget lodge with private bathroom and 3 nights camping. All campgrounds had flush toilets and showers and we were provided with big tents, mattresses and sleeping bags. Our safari group consisted of a total of 6 people.
Our very experienced guide Mike was able to answer all the questions we had, knew the best routes and where to best spot the different animals and most importantly, he is an incredibly nice and wonderful guy.
And of course also the very varied food (including the fresh baked! bread) prepared by our chef Dullah was absolutely superb and it was unbelievable how he was able to cook fresh meals 3 times a day with comparably little equipment.
So if you are planning on doing a Safari in Tanzania, you should definitely go for Serengeti Wakanda! We can only recommend it and would not hesitate to book another trip with them.

Wonderful experience
When contacting Malagasya Travel, I was surprised by their friendliness and agility. I entered the Safari Booking website, filled out a form and in less than 24 hours the Riantsoa travel agent contacted me to understand in detail what I wanted. We put together a wonderful personalized itinerary that fully met my expectations! On the day of my arrival, I was greeted by them with an invitation to have dinner to get to know each other. It was a pleasant surprise for me.
During the whole trip I was very well assisted by all the places I went! The trip was wonderful and everything went according to plan.
Without a doubt, I highly recommend the company and will certainly make new trips with them!

Very friendly with a lot of knowledge about plants, landscapes and animals. Surprises !
We had booked a safari of 6 weeks with this local firm Benson Safaris. What a wonderfull week we had. Thanks to Benson and our guide Peter. Peter knows a lot of all the plants and animals in de national parks we visited: Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro crater, Lake Manyara and Arusha park. Peter is een safe driver and is very focused on the wishes of the costumer. The arrangements and hotels were wonderfull en really exiting. Our trips during the day well organised and a day after the last trip we already missed Peter and all the knowledge he learned jn the 3 years that he went to school to learn about the parks.
And we were really surprised bij Benson with a special room, champagne, wine and cake because Peter had heard that we will be married for fourty years in november. Het overheard that en Benson arrangend it all. Good coffee and other presents on the other days.. We can really recommend Benson as a company to arrange your safaritrip
