Unforgettable safari with Madini – like traveling with a friend!
Our safari with Madini was an absolute highlight! From the very first moment, it didn't feel like a typical tour, but more like an outing with a good friend who wanted to introduce us to his homeland. Madini is an incredibly warm, attentive, and experienced guide who immediately addressed our every need – always with a smile and plenty of patience.
He also speaks both English and German, which made communication super pleasant. He gave us a wealth of fascinating information about the animals, landscape, and culture, while never losing his personal, relaxed approach.
The safari vehicle was also top-notch – very comfortable, technically sound, and perfectly suited for long journeys. What particularly impressed us: After each safari day, the vehicle was thoroughly cleaned, so we could get into a clean, tidy vehicle every morning. This shows how much Madini values quality and well-being.
Thank you for this wonderful time, Madini! It was more than just a safari – it was a true experience. A clear recommendation for anyone who wants to experience a personal, well-organized, and all-round beautiful safari!

Very good tour
We had a fantastic safari with Jocky Tours and our guide Dennis! He was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about wildlife. Thanks to him, we saw some rare moments, like a leopard in a tree with hyenas below, and learned so much about the animals and the environment. Dennis always tried his best to meet our requests, and the whole trip was fun, educational, and unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Best safari experience!
Best safari experience!
About the company: excellent organization of the tour - everything is always on time, well-thought-out logistics and routes. Managers are always in touch, briefings are given before all activities. We lived in a campsite - very comfortable and atmospheric!
About the guides: Adam is the best guide!
We saw all the animals with him, he is sociable, attentive, and an excellent driver. Always provided us with the best viewing and photo spots.The soul of the company with a great sense of humor, he always took into account our wishes during the trip, answered a million questions, told a lot of interesting things.
I would especially like to mention the food during the trip - we always had freshly prepared homemade traditional food and dishes. Most companies give out tasteless lunch boxes.
For us, every meal was like a family dinner.
Thanks to our chef Pius for the super delicious food!
Adam, Pius, Suricata, thank you so much for an unforgettable trip!

Leslie was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, experienced, fun, helpful and friendly.
My husband and I joined our adult son for a weeklong northern Tanzania safari before he had a work commitment in Rwanda. We only had a few weeks to plan and our timing required us to go in early May, the end of the rainy season. Tanzania Choice Safaris was easy since Brenda, a cofounder, is an ex-pat. They created a great itinerary, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti that included plenty of the Big Five, especially lots of lions!, plus wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, hippo, crocodile, impala, velvet monkey, gazelle, cheetah, jackal, baboon, eland, monitor lizard, hyena, warthog and others.
Tanzania Choice Safari found good accommodations to match our midrange budget. In Ngorongoro we stayed at the Serena Lodge where local Maasai performed. I was invited to dance with them!
By far, what made our Safari most exceptional was our fantastic guide Leslie. From the minute he greeted us at Mount Kilimanjaro Int’l with his great smile to his seeing us depart at the airport in the Serengeti… he took wonderful care of us. He gave us each our own water thermos, journal and pen. Leslie, with over 10 years of experience, was very knowledgeable about the animals and their habits, the landscapes, people and history of Tanzania. We learned much!
He found out I had an interest in birds and took care to always point out each “new bird”, showing me its picture in his well worn East African Bird book and often sharing more about their mating, nesting and other behaviors. I loved this about him and we had fun finding a “new bird” all week long.
Its supposedly harder to spot animals in the rainy season due to the tall grasses. But Leslie is a determined, exceptional guide and optimized our wildlife encounters. In Ngorongoro he suggested we depart from our lodge at 6 am to get down in the crater at sunrise. We were so pleased he got us there early because we caught a big pride of lions next to the road finishing up a kill from the night before.
He was very accommodating, setting up lovely picnics, answering all our questions, very kind and just a lot of fun.
We felt like we won the lottery with Leslie. I teared up when hugging him goodbye. We will always hold a special place in my heart for this trip and for Leslie.

Excellent and highly recommend
We’ve extremely enjoyed the gorilla Trecking tour, made banana beer at the community centre (Red rocks Rwanda in Nyakinama), and Kigali city tour etc, included our spontaneous requests.
Our driver, Abu, has hospitality. Our journey was fun, lots of new learnings, always felt safe and comfortable.

I could not have dreamt of a better set-up, it was simply an unforgettable experience!!
Despite travelling solo, I never felt more safe and so well surrounded than what I experienced in this trip!
Jimmy is such an experienced guide, I learnt so much about Mount Kenya, saw its hidden gems!
Not only he is the perfect guide for such tour, our is also a genuine and kind hearted person, always smiling and taking great care of you, ensuring that you will have the best experience ever!!!
Next to this excellent guide, I couldn’t not have managed to reach the summit of Lenana without the great support of 2 of his crew, Eric our backpack carrier and Maron our cook!!
We had amazing food on the way at the different campsites and also in nature, it felt surreal!
This trek a breathtaking, you will see such a variety of landscapes and scenery and will be so proud afterwards to have done it!
Many thanks also to Lennox, my planner contact from Axis Africa to this Kenyan wildlife experience, always here to help you design the perfect set-up for you no matter how late it can be!
He has been soo responsive and providing all the details I was looking for, which gave me the confidence this is a THE place to be!
In few words, if you want to do a memorable trek, challenge yourself and get to know amazing people, this is the place to go and you won’t regret I promise!!
Thanks again “my brothers from a different mother!” ;)

Carrying. They were with us since the moment we entered Arusha. Granted all our wishes
The value for money is really there. They kept an active communication. Rashid was an awesome guide, got the best spots every time we saw an animal and spotted animals from everywhere. we got to see all the animals. They don’t mind to get a little of schedule if you ask them to. Food was also great, Bonge cooked the best plates and always gave us what we wanted.

Amazing Holiday
Over summer ,I took my mom, my dad and my two siblings to the Maasai Mara. Jack was such a gracious agent and gave us a nice quote for our 3 day stay in Masai Mara. It was the greatest adventure that I had ever experienced. We got to see all the Big 5 animals and also had a picnic in the Savannah. It was magical! I will definitely use Loushir African Safaris again.
