Beautifully diverse landscapes with very friendly people and awe inspiring wildlife
South Africa exceeded my expectations—the weather when I went on my Safari was perfect (85 F or 28 C). The people were especially friendly and accommodating, and overall seemed like a very happy people. The landscape was often pristine and green, especially as we approached the parks. My safari experience was incredibly easy to navigate with a pickup at my AirBnB and transport directly to our accommodations near the park. We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, warthogs, and zebras in the first day and many many more types of animals along the way—what an incredible time. The food was prepared by the local staff and we had a wonderful variety of delicious meals.

Unforgettable experience
We had the most unforgettable experience with Hekima safaris. It was a group of friends trip and we decided to go to Tanzania for a 5 day safari. It felt like the most authentic memorable experience from the moment we arrived in Arusha and met with Hekima team.
They took care of us as if we had known one another a few decades ago! I mean seriously, if you want to experience an incredible safari adventure, do no go anywhere else!
Our guides were very knowledgeable and we learned so much from them. Thank you Hekima safari for going above and beyond to make our trip an excellent experience, and we've made a friend in Africa.

Very friendly staff, superb tourguide!!!
Staff is very friendly. Kennedy was an outstanding tourguide. He knows a lot about the wildlife and went the extra mile in order to see the big 5.
The whole booking process was smoothly and everything was well organized (receiving flight tickets, pick up from my lodge in Zanzibar, transfer to airport, pick-up from airstrip…)
The only thing I did not like was the fact that european food was served like Spaghetti…I Wohls prefer more local food. That is why I am only giving 4 stars.

Very nice private tour
Sammy was our driver/guide. He was a very careful driver, and he adapted to our needs. On the second day the van had a problem and he quickly shifted us to another car until he fixed the van and picked up us a couple of hours after so that we didn't suffer any trouble. The lodge (AA Amboseli) was great and they prepared a beautiful birthday cake for my friend and all the staff singed along. Very nice experience all together.

Rob fulfilled our desires during the planning process & while we were in Madagascar.
Rob of Tailormade Africa and the staff were impeccable in helping us plan our trip and augmenting our desires with their knowledge. They arranged for wonderful guides who gave us personalized service. It was a trip never to be forgotten.
Speaking for a moment about the nitty gritty, if there was a hic-up in the arrangements in this difficult post-pandemic period, Rob seemed to be able to clear it up in an instant.
Madagascar as a place is immensely interesting. The geography, people, flora and fauna are unique. I cannot recommend it enough. I experienced tremendous personal growth as a result of this trip. It was enlightening and fun in the best fullest sense of those words.

Once in a lifetime experience
We did a safari tour of 8 days including Serengeti with Noel. We really enjoyed our trip. Noel made it a great experience for us. He explained all about the animals and the nature. You could really feel the passion he has concerning the nature. He answered every question we had in detail. Furthermore he was always motivated to show us as much as possible and we had a lot of fun with him. We can really recommend lappet faced safari- especially with Noel

All good as planned.
My guide and driver Herbert was very good. We faced many challenges in the roads but he is very skilled to overcome all of them. Also, a nice company during the trips. I recommend Bamboo Ecotours and Herbert as tour partners.

Great Mikumi and Udzungwa tour!
My husband and I opted for a 4-day/ 3-night tour and had a great time. From the time we were picked up in Dar-es-Salaam to when we were dropped back, it was a really smooth experience except for one hiccup. We were told a few days before the trip that the originally planned stay Camp Bastian was overbooked and they would put us up in a different hotel. This hotel unfortunately did not have the same facilities as the other one (bar, pool, etc.) and we still had to go to Camp Bastian for only the meals which was a bit tiresome. The safari and the hike up to Udzungwa falls were however, amazing. Truly unforgettable experiences. Madame Sultan, all our guides, the hotel staff and really everyone we met during our holiday were friendly and helpful. Tanzania is a beautiful country and we can't wait to go back!
