Once Upon In Time In Tanzania
During the final week of September 2025, my wife and I joined my good friend’s family for the 9-day Migration River Crossing.
From the moment we signed up Safiness, our Hekima contact, was extremely helpful in providing all the information needed to prepare for our first adventure in the African continent. As a result, we felt assured, our excitement and confidence boosted as we waited for September to arrive.
The trip was wonderful and enjoyable: the Airbnb accommodation for Hekima Safari was really great, and we truly enjoyed meeting the people around their home and having drinks with them. It was safe, the guides (Faraki and Amani) were engaging as well as knowledgeable, and be prepared for some bumpy driving across the parks. Hekima put in considerable efforts to make it memorable for all of us. The mandatory briefing session at the end of each day was a great stress-reliever as it provided a dialogue regarding concerns and clarifications.
From the sprawling limestone-green craggy walls of Ngorongoro to the sheer vastness of Serengeti Park and eye-popping Mt. Kilimanjaro, the sights were breathtaking and stay with you forever. The highlight has to be the wildebeest crossings at the Mara River, often described as one of the greatest natural spectacles.For this spectacle, you just have to be there to take it all in with your senses, as no documentary or pictures can quite capture the tension, drama, and scale of the crossings.
However, for me, the Kodak moment was seeing the mighty hippos and pinkish flamingoes chilling in a breezy lake somewhere in the Ngorongoro crater zone. Under the gorgeous sunshine, the images were simply dazzling.
Day 6 was when I carelessly left my tablet on my bed at the lodge, and I wasn’t aware of it until Amani alerted me. Safiness said that they’d try to bring it to me at the airport just before departure and they did. They didn’t have to go all the way for a mistake I made, but they did. It demonstrates the integrity and commitment of Hekima to their clients, and that is deeply appreciated.
If you’re looking for magic in the animal kingdom, it doesn’t get better than this. Well-supported and organized, the trip was filled with “wow” moments as we observed birds and animals (Big 5, blue monkeys, cheetahs, hyenas, spiderman lizard, etc.) in their natural setting: living and playing side by side, resting, limping, TLC with their cubs, having a lonely walk, grazing, being aroused, crossing a dusty road, fighting, being chased, etc. A highly recommended program.

Simply the best.
The drive was amazing. Our expectations were met and exceeded. We liked how our service provider kept communicating and making follow ups before, during and after the drive just to make sure that we were well taken care of. I must say that Toto Tembo safaris are reliable and cost effective.
For future game drives, I will still choose Toto tembo Safaris.

Great trip w Shanjoy
We had an incredible 3-day, 2-night safari adventure in the breathtaking Masai Mara! Our tour operator - Shanjoy truly outdid themselves, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
A huge shoutout to our driver/guide, Nelson whose expertise and passion for the wilderness shone through in every aspect of our tour. His exceptional driving skills navigated us through the stunning landscapes with ease, and his in-depth knowledge of the wildlife brought the safari to life.
From spotting majestic lions lazing in the sun to witnessing the Great Migration's majestic wildebeests, every moment was pure magic. Nelson had an eagle eye for spotting wildlife and had great contacts. His stories about the Maasai culture added a rich layer to our adventure.
The entire experience was seamless, enjoyable, and truly unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour operator to anyone looking for an authentic and exhilarating safari experience.
We were surprised that Shanjoy’s business owner did a follow up call with us at the end of the tour to check in on our experience. It was 10/10 service.
