Absolutely amazing tour and safari guide!
What an absolutely amazing experience! Our group of 12 did a 3-day safari and stayed in the park at the Mantis Lodge. Every aspect of the experience was incredible. We saw the "Big 5" and then some. What made the trip truly exceptional was our safari guide, Pacofic!!! He knew EVERYTHING about the park and the animals. We learned so, so much. He explained so many details and always made us feel safe and secure. He was also a lot of fun! The park and the lodge were great, but it was Pacofic and the animals that we will be talking about for years to come!

Amazing experience in Tanzania and Zanzibar with Zuriafrica
Amazing experience in Tanzania and Zanzibar with Zuriafrica Safaris! Dennis organized everything perfectly, always attentive to my requests and quick to find solutions when needed. The choice of lodges and resorts was excellent, and my guide Emanuele was absolutely fantastic — knowledgeable, kind, and made the trip unforgettable. Very professional and reliable — I highly recommend Zuriafrica Safaris!

unforgettable adventure, made even more memorable by the impeccable organization and the outstanding
I recently had the privilege of experiencing a private safari in the Serengeti, and I can honestly say it was an unforgettable adventure, made even more memorable by the impeccable organization and the outstanding service provided!
From the moment I was picked up, everything was taken care of seamlessly. The transportation, tours, and hotel arrangements were all perfectly organized, allowing me to simply enjoy every moment without any worries. I even forgot which day it was 😁
The hotels we stayed in were fantastic, offering a comfortable and luxurious stay after long days of exploring the stunning wilderness.
A special shout-out goes to my tour guide, Zablon. He truly went above and beyond to ensure I had the most incredible experience. His knowledge of the Serengeti’s wildlife and environment was unmatched, and he made sure I had front-row views of all the incredible animals the park has to offer. Zablon’s passion for the land and its creatures was evident in everything he did, and he ensured that every moment of the safari was filled with awe and excitement. Thanks to him, I was able to witness some of the most breathtaking wildlife moments, from lions to a family of elephants passing by, cheetahs with their cubs…
If you're looking to immerse yourself in the magic of the Serengeti, I highly recommend this experience. Zablon and the entire team provided a top-tier adventure that I'll cherish forever ❤️

Unforgettable
From start to finish our experience with King Mufasa was excellent! We had a few quotes from safari bookings but the personal touch from King Mufasa set them apart. We had no clue where to start when booking a safari and they answered all (and there was a lot) of my questions and helped me create the perfect safari trip for us. We mentioned that it was our honeymoon and they went above and beyond organising a personalised tyre cover and treats at the lodge.
Pick up from the hotel was smooth and efficient all the way through to being dropped back off, everything was handled professionally and effortlessly.
The safari itself:
We chose a private safari and I’m glad we did as we had lots of space and could do things as our own speed.
We were picked up from the Serona airstrip straight into our drive. Our driver Lidnev was very knowledgeable on the park and the animals, explaining things as we drove. He gave us enough time to admire the animals and take photos whilst also making sure we had the opportunity to see more of what the park offered. We managed to see 4 out of the big 5 within the two day trip with additional bonus of seeing a cheetah on the planes. We saw so many animals we were overwhelmed. It truly was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The jeep itself was comfortable and spacious with a fridge filled with beer, soft drinks and refreshments. We were able to stand up and look out for animals out of the roof which made it even better for spotting them. We did one day Serengeti and one day ngorongoro crater and this was ideal for seeing the most amount of animals and also the different environments. Lidnev navigated them perfectly to ensure we saw everything we wanted to see.
The lodge: safari haven was perfect for what we needed, food was good (chicken curry lunch, buffet dinner/breakfast and chicken and rice for lunch on the drive the next day. Staff were very friendly and the lodge itself was stunning - right in the heart of the national park! We woke up to sounds of elephants near our lodge!
Overall I couldn’t recommend these guys enough! This was a once in a lifetime trip making memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you so much to Lidnev and the team at King Mufasa

Crazy
We spent two wonderful days in Tanzania with our guide, Innocent, whom we recommend for his kindness and friendliness. Tarangire National Park is a must-see, but the Ngorongoro Crater is simply incredible. The road to the crater is astonishing; the vegetation is lush, and what can we say when you arrive at the crater with the animals around the lake? A lion and a lioness were present when we arrived, herds of buffalo, zebras, and elephants... Everything was also very well organized by Meshak from Zanzibar.
Perfect!!!

Very well organized and well-paced
Full-disclosure: The tour was provided by Viva Safari who is a sister company of Moafrika. I am ok when these things happen as I understand how they would want to try to match groups to maximise planning and logistics but a heads-up would have been appreciated.
My initial inquiries were responded to quickly. And despite my numerous questions and requests for different quotes, they have always provided everything in a complete and speedy manner.
This was my first every trip to South Africa, and my first safari trip, so doing the safari on the first leg of my trip was a mixed bag of feelings of nervousness and excitement. But again, because they were so responsive in WhatsApp, I felt reassured that everything will go according to plan.
I was picked up at my Hotel a little past the indicated time (because i was the last one to get picked up and we were 5 groups travelling together) by Welcome, who true to his name, made me feel very welcome! A great first impression. The trip is long but your eyes will be blessed with landscapes which you can never appreciate on a flight. We made our first stop at Mayfly at Dulstroom for lunch and to switch vans for the second part of the trip. Quentin was equally friendly and drove us comfortably to Tremisana.
Smiley, Raymond, Vian, Elvis were amazing guides and the lovely kitchen staff made everything as comfortable as possible. We were very well-fed and we could go for seconds and thirds if we wanted to. Breakfast had a good variety as well. There is water and various alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks you can purchase.
Value for money? It's great. Remember, these trips can go as rough as you want to as luxurious as you want depending on your desired level of comfort and adventure. Tremisana was very comfortable and had an en suite bath. There is hot water. There is air-conditioning. Please bring a torch as the pathways are dark in the evening.
Marc's Treehouse was equally the same but felt closer to nature and only had a ceiling fan. I stayed in House 7 and it was spacious with a doublebed,an en suitebath, and a private balcony overlooking the river. I stayed during winter but the first night was a little warm so the blankets were enough. The second night got cold and I was actually relieved i brought fleece pyjamas with me so I did sleep well. Depending on where your "house" is, be prepared for a 3-5 min walk on unequal, but stoned, pathway. I had a large luggage with me and i could manage but some people might struggle. I did have help from Rene who was happy to bring my luggage up the treehouse (which had maybe 7-8 steps max) but there are houses that are literally high up and i don't think it would be easy to carry a 20kg luggage up a wooden ladder.
You will hear and sometimes see animals during your stay. But generally, i felt safe as the houses are spread apart. You have a padlock to lock your house when you depart for the day's activities.
I would definitely do this trip again and would not hesitate to book with Moafrika again.
An appeal to tourists: please bring cash for tips. And please leave tips for the kitchen staff as well. They are very lovely and warm people who truly want to give you the best experience.

Lovely experience and saw countless animals!
We just finished our tour organized by Jocky.
Our driver Juma was very experienced and he took very good care of us and went above and beyond to make sure everything was great for us, always making sure we had great views of all the animals we spotted and getting us through the whole tour.
We felt safe and very well taken care of the whole time.
Highly recommended, hope you all are lucky enough to be accompanied by him. Thank you Juma!

Best trip ever, with the best ranger
This was truly the most incredible trip I’ve ever experienced.
Thanks to our fantastic ranger, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. He made sure there was always plenty of food and drinks, and he went above and beyond to ensure we saw an amazing variety of wildlife. His knowledge about the animals was outstanding – no matter how many questions we asked, he always had the answers, often adding fascinating details we never would have thought to ask about.
But it wasn’t just about the animals. Our ranger also shared so much about the surroundings, the history, and even the trees and plants, which really brought everything together and made the experience complete.
We traveled as a family group of seven, which worked perfectly for this trip. I can wholeheartedly recommend this journey to anyone considering it. If you do, I definitely suggest choosing Dendea Safaris – the service was excellent, the information was endless, and our ranger made the entire adventure both fun and unforgettable.
A truly perfect holiday!

The best
Hello.
I highly recommend to book with this agency. Everything went smoothly, from picking me up from the airport to the safari to picking me up again after, and driving me to the airport. Very professional and very positiv employees, who really listen to what’s important to you the whole time. A good vibe and very good food everyday. I recommend booking for 5 days, so you see everything, I regret I only booked for 4 days. The service was in top, and the communication between the agency was fast and they were very helpful everytime I had a question for them. Don’t hesitate booking with them, cause you won’t be disappointed
