The tour operator was very professional and helpful.
Everything was great. We visited Tarangiere, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro national parks and local tribes (Maasai, Tatoga, Hadzabe). On the safari we saw many different animals (buffalo, lions, giraffes, wildebeest, mongooses, impalas, rhinos, leopard, zebras, hippos). The experience was amazing. Ene Lepp was a professional tour operator. Ene put together a program that meets your wishes. We definitely recommend Siafu to other travelers.

I was not born in Africa, but probably Africa was born in me by Heaven in Africa
It is hard to describe my feelings and experiences of the best trip of a lifetime. My old dream, safari, came true. We were a group of 2 women. Me and my friend had an amazing experience with our 5-day safari - Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Manyara, Masai Village and Banana Farm. Having been recommended Heaven in Africa from friends, from the moment we first wrote them until the day we came back home, we were in contact with Heaven and Pieter who always supported us. We are so grateful for everything they did for us:
- for the great care and attention to us
- for the knowing answer to every question which we asked our guide Pieter a lot every day
- for hot picnic lunches in the national parks.
It is not just lunch boxes as many cheaper companies may offer.
It was a varied meal every day in according to our requests and diets.
We'll never forget our lunch with a view of two wild rhinos in Ngorongoro.
- for the awesome accommodations. We chose the mid-range, but we did not expect it to be so gorgeous and comfortable. We were greeted with songs in every lodges. The service and food were great there. We had even a swimming pool in every place, but we did not have time to enjoy that.
The second thing we will never forget is our sunset and night in the camp in Serengeti. I enjoyed listening to the sounds of the wild at night. I only regret one thing in my trip of the lifetime. We had only one night in Serengeti.
- for interesting and exciting game drive.
We crossed rivers in the car.
We saw Big Five - leopard, rhino, elephant, African buffalo and lionesses.
The first two ones are rare to see. But we did.
The elephant family was within arm’s reach. And many other creatures were so close to us. Sometimes I even held my breath besause of that.
I did some many fascinating pictures and found my new hobby - photo hunting.
Our guide showed and talked about each animal and plants. He always found the best perspective and views for our pictures.
The lion was hiding from us during our game drive. So, we will definitely come back to see him next time. And of course, with Heaven in Africa
The whole trip was incredible and unforgettable. And we know why. Heaven and Pieter did their best to give us the best trip of our lives. After safari we had a paradise Journey on Zanzibar. But I was absolutely upset to leave these guys. Because we did not leave just guides who had created our trip, we left our close friends. I was not born in Africa, but probably Africa was born in me by them.
Asante, Asante, Asante.

Great communication and helpful
I did a 3 day experience to Mikumi and Udzungwa. I had an amazing time! The guides were knowledgeable and made every effort to make sure I lots of animals - we even saw a leopard! The hike to the waterfall in Udzungwa was also great! The guide was a kind young man who maintained a slow pace (for me) and told me about all the different plants and there medicinal purposes. We even saw monkeys! I also want to highly recommend the driver, William. I did a solo trip and he becam my friend - driving long ways and eating dinner together. He made sure I got to try ugali and taught me how to eat it. He also helped me find a phone charger and get a SIM card. I truly would have been lost without him! Thanks Lenny, for putting together a wonderful team who made me feel welcome and comfortable!

Kind, cheerful and informative
I was there for a short tour. It was fun and a perfect experience for my picture of an African Safari is about. The trip coordinators were constantly available and checking in that I was alright throughout my stay. I got a good touristy side and a local experience as well. For the amount I paid, I would say that the trip was well executed. Very fun!

Excellent service and the knowledge about animals and their habitat.
Definitely one of most remarkable experiences in my life!
They organized whole 4 day trip with amazing lodge accommodations and food. Guide Ray is one in a million I tell you! His kindness and knowledge about animals and their habitat is beyond anything I ever experienced so far. He was able to spot animals everywhere and we saw literally every animal that was possible to see in those national parks.
Nevertheless I was glad to support small, local and family driven company which is doing extraordinary job, rather than supporting some foreign safari company - they literally are the best you can get out there without a doubt!
I am definitely coming back and will do another safari with this company and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for real safari experience!
Asante Sana & till next time ♡

"Great service and guide"
I would say everything was top, we saw every animal possible and every aspect of the trip was top notch, from our first night hotel, to our safaris in Lake Naivasha , Amboseli and Maasai Mara. Our driver, Alex, was great and make sure that we saw incredible wildlife. Jeremiah is just a wonderfully kind young man who knows his country. His pride in sharing his beautiful country makes the experience even more rewarding that I could've ever imagined. I'm hard to impress when it comes to travel, but the Silver Spark Africa Safaris team did it so organized. I do recommend Silver Spark Africa Safaris for every traveler visiting East Africa, and look forward to visit Kenya again.

The tour operator was at a very professional level. Everything went well, there were no problems.
The safari was very fierce. It was powerful to see animals in the wild and so close. It was my most intense experience.
In my opinion, the price-quality ratio was in place. During the safari there was catering 3 times a day, I didn't have to worry about anything.

Amazing, thoughtful, the best!
Kihindo tours was the best choice! As we saw other tour operators also, we were just beyond lucky to have chosen Kihindo. The car was comfortable, fridge worked perfectly, they organized everything we needed and we felt great. Lunches and dinners were amazing and also the bungalows we slept in. Isaya and our driver were the best team, they knew answers to each question we had and made us feel not like tourists but their guests. We are so thankful! Please choose them and you will not regret :) Also, Kihindo makes sure to answer via whatsapp really quickly before, during or after the tour :)

Life Changing Trip — Can’t wait to go again!
I cannot gush enough about this trip, everything from start to finish was seamless and perfectly done. The attention to detail is everything with this company right from the start when planning your fully custom itinerary to the moment your plane touch’s the ground, this company ensures you have the most enjoyable and relaxing experience.
If you want to experience Tanzania from first hand experience that knows the best accommodations, activities and safari spots this is your company. Not to mention the exquisite hot picnic lunches, maybe even more special with wine.
Heaven will not just be your guide/driver while you are in Tanzania, he will be your animal expert, cultural knowledge book and very own song singer. I swear Heaven some sixth sense when it comes to animals. The close encounters that we experienced while on our safari: elephants feet from the truck, a cheetah taking down a gazelle right before our eyes, a lion tackling a wart hog literally feet from the truck, a leopard sighting to name a few. I went on this trip with 4 other girlfriends, we never stopped laughing or having the best time of our lives. From the incredible sightings, to the breath taking accommodations and delicious food, we literally felt as if we were in heaven the entire time.
Going to Africa and going on a safari is something you may only do once in your life, so you want to ensure it is the absolute best time and experience you can have. I would trust none other than Heaven In Africa Safaris to entrust that you have the most incredible and memorable trip of a lifetime.
I highly recommend this company and cannot wait to go on another adventure with them.
