Humphrey was the best driver you could ever have with you for a safari trip!
Our safari trip was great and couldn’t be better.
Humphrey was our driver, driving great and carefully on these bumpy roads of the safari. He made this experience great because of his great mood and knowledge of everything we asked about the safari, animal, place and accommodation.
We did see all the big five and a lot more during our three day safari.
The camps were nice, the tents and the bathroom clear.
FYI bring cash with you during the safari!

Amazing experience!
An absolutely unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania!
We visited the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire, and everything was perfectly organized from start to finish.
Our guide Jacob was fantastic — very experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate about wildlife. His knowledge of the parks and the animals made the experience even more special, and we had some incredible wildlife encounters that we will never forget.
The organization, communication, transportation, and choice of accommodation were all excellent. Everything ran smoothly, and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the entire trip.
A huge thank you to the entire team for their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania!

Two days in the Serengeti
They changed our itinerary, and instead of going to Lake Manyara, they suggested spending two days in the Serengeti, and it has been a true gift. As soon as we woke up, Steve searched for the leopard for us since we didn't have any luck the day before. There it was, sleeping in a tree... incredible.... Afterward, my sister wanted to see hippos, and even though we saw them by the rivers and pools where we stopped to eat... there were about 50 or more! Very close and very pretty! He also took us to the visitor center, and a guide there explained the migration to us. We learned a lot and had a great time. I wanted to see mongooses, and before sunset at the campsite, about 30 of them showed up!!!! Chef Luka cooked lasagna for us!!!!! In the middle of nowhere! It's amazing and so delicious. He is the best!!!! Before going to sleep, we looked at the stars.
It was already the third day, and we only had the rhinoceros left to see! But that will be in Ngongoro on the last day.

I’m so glad I chose Ways of Africa for my Kenya safari!
First of all, a big thank you to Paul, the owner of the company. I started planning my trip in May and contacted nearly 20 local safari operators in Kenya. Ways of Africa was the only one that could accommodate all of my hotel choices. I specifically wanted some of the more popular lodges, and almost every other operator told me they were fully booked and couldn’t be arranged.
I have to admit that I was a little concerned after booking, as Paul could sometimes be slow on reply, which made me anxious in the weeks leading up to the trip. This is probably the only thing I think they could improve on. But once the trip actually started, everything turned out to be so smooth and perfect. All the hotels I requested were arranged exactly as planned, and the whole itinerary went perfectly according to schedule.
And a huge thank you to our guide, Paul! He was very experienced, incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife, and such a warm and friendly person. This was my first time bringing my parents to Africa, so I’m especially grateful that we had such a great guide. He helped us see almost everything on our safari wish list!
Every morning, he was already waiting by the vehicle before we came out, and he kept the vehicle very clean throughout the trip. He was always happy to explain things along the way, answered all of our questions, and shared so much interesting knowledge about the animals and the places we visited. He also knew many beautiful spots for taking photos, which was a great bonus!
Our Kenya trip was truly wonderful and memorable. I would definitely recommend Ways of Africa and our guide Paul to my friends.

Amazing Safari Experience
Our 10-day private safari in Tanzania with Safari GOATS was truly one of the most memorable trips we have ever taken. We travelled as a couple, with just the two of us and our guide, Ally, throughout the safari, and we could not have been happier with the experience.
The wildlife was extraordinary. We were incredibly lucky to have close sightings of the Big Five, but also to witness a spectacular Mara River crossing and even a cheetah kill — experiences we never expected to see and will certainly never forget. Tanzania itself is breathtaking, and there is something very special about spending so much time immersed in these landscapes and observing the wildlife so closely.
Another major highlight was climbing Ol Doinyo Lengai with a Maasai guide. It was a challenging climb, but an incredibly rewarding one, and reaching the summit of this sacred volcano with its extraordinary views was a very special experience. We were grateful to have the opportunity to do something a little different alongside the more traditional safari itinerary.
We were also consistently impressed by the accommodations Safari GOATS selected for us. The lodges were beautiful, welcoming, and full of character, with lovely settings and excellent food. Coming back to them after long days of game drives or hiking was always a pleasure, and they genuinely felt like part of the experience rather than simply places to sleep.
Most of all, however, we feel incredibly lucky to have had Ally as our guide. He was exceptional. His knowledge of the wildlife, animal behaviour, parks, and landscapes is remarkable, and he seemed to have an instinct for knowing where to go and what might happen next. He was patient, attentive, and always made sure we had the time and the best possible position to enjoy what we were seeing, without ever making us feel rushed.
Beyond being an excellent guide, Ally is warm, thoughtful, professional, and clearly passionate about what he does. Spending 10 days with the same guide is a significant part of a private safari, and we genuinely enjoyed his company throughout the trip. His enthusiasm and dedication added enormously to our experience.
Our experience with Safari GOATS as a company was equally positive. Everything was extremely well organized while still leaving room for the flexibility and spontaneity that make a safari so enjoyable. Edna Mtui was wonderful to communicate with and made coordinating all of the logistics very easy. We were also genuinely impressed by how reasonably priced the trip was given the quality of the guiding, accommodations, and overall experience.
We cannot recommend Safari GOATS highly enough, and we would especially recommend requesting Ally if possible. Tanzania was extraordinary in itself, but the quality of the organization and, above all, the people we travelled with made the experience even more special.
Thank you to Ally, Edna Mtui (who was responsible of the logistics), and the entire Safari GOATS team for an unforgettable trip.

An incredible, timeless experience that deeply touched and moved me.
What an extraordinary trip! From Arusha to the Mara River, I had an absolutely magical experience, with landscapes and moments that will stay in my heart forever.
Throughout the planning and the trip itself, Adrian from "African Bovine Adventures" was always attentive to my wishes, requests, and choices, with great availability and kindness. He adapted to each step to make this trip exactly as I had hoped… and even more!
And the choice of guide also made all the difference. Hamidou was present, attentive, and always concerned about my comfort, with incredible patience while waiting for the animals and fully experiencing every moment. Together, we had the chance to witness the wildebeest crossing of the Mara River… an absolutely splendid and unforgettable moment!
I leave feeling captivated, amazed, and with my heart full of memories.
If you're looking for the perfect travel agency for a unique and unforgettable trip, I wholeheartedly recommend Adrian! ❤️
