Absolutely wonderful and excellent at planning.
Such a well organised and an unforgettable safari trip with Nalange safaris. Mr. Tebla who is the owner and guide made sure we had nothing to worry about and just enjoy the beauty that Botswana had to offer. Everything in the itinerary, from the custom safari vehicle, stays (campsites and luxury camp) to the game drives and our relax time was so well planned. Wouldn’t have chosen anyone else for this once in a lifetime experience. Must say, really looking forward to be back in Botswana and experience it all over again. Thank you Nalange Safaris!!

Best decision to choose Kihindo Tours as our Tour Operator: Excellent service
First of all, thanks to Winnie - she did everything to make our tour unforgettable (smooth booking process, personal care via WhatsApp from beginning to end...)
Our first driver Peter took us from Dar to the first stop where we changed the cars and we had the chance to taste very fresh roasted cashews & excellent coffee.
Our personal highlight during the Safari was Isaya from Kihindo Tours. All in all we were more than satisfied with the handling. Everything just worked perfectly. Already on the outward journey from Dar to Camp Bastian we have sighted the first animals thanks to the good eyes of our guide.
The accommodation was very comfortable. Also the food was very good, the service was excellent.
The visit to the massai village was a unique experience as well as the safari on the second day. Isaya managed to get us ALL the animals living in the park in front of the camera and was always in a very good mood. Asante sana!

Perfect individual package, organisation and lots of luck with wildlife!
We booked with EBS because their location in Masaka was close by and David could offer us a perfect package for our time and needs! We decided to go low budget, but everything was kinda high class! Communication couldnt have been better, driver was the best choice so the value for the money was far more than we exepted!! Weve also been so lucky with the wildlife - probably because we had such an experienced guide ;)
Thank you for everything!

Unforgettable Safari Experience
We had a perfect 7 day safari with Lion Riders, visiting Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara.
Our guide, Johnson, was extremely friendly and kind and ensured we had an unforgettable experience. He is very knowledgeable and has lots of stories to share, both about the wildlife and culture. He also has an incredible ability to spot animals from a great distance, meaning we got to see all of the animals we were hoping to (including two sightings of leopards, which are very good at hiding!). We always got the best spot for sightings, including the perfect viewpoint to watch the wildebeest crossing the Mara River during the migration. Johnson also found great positions for us to take photos of the sunrise and the animals.
All of the lodges Johnson recommended were brilliant too, and the 4x4 was comfortable.
We were very well looked after throughout the week and would highly recommend Johnson and Lion Riders to anyone! :)

"Awesome"
My friend and I are back from a 12-day trip with Hekima Safaris - a climb of Kilimanjaro (Lemosho route) and a 5 day safari, with a few rest and travels days mixed in. I can say without any hesitation whatsoever that this was a trip of a lifetime and that we picked the right travel company with which to entrust all of the details.
Picking a travel company for a Kilimanjaro trek requires a leap of faith - they are mostly local companies without any brand recognition. I found Hekima Safaris through my own research, and they quickly won my confidence. The sales manager who fielded my initial inquires, Richard, is simply extraordinary- helpful, thorough, responsive, and professional without being pushy. Long after we committed to this trip, Richard was my primary point of contact, and I am very grateful for all of his help. Every question about everything- packing, logistics, preparation- Richard was my go to person and he always got me the information I needed. Thank you Richard and of course the owner Mopoo (Eli :)!
Our lead mountain guide and his team were likewise excellent- the mountain guides, cooks, porters, you name it- every last person we dealt with excelled at their job and was committed to our safety, well being and comfort every step along the way. Richard and his team did a great job of communicating with us, and likewise keeping the mood upbeat. Make no mistake about it, this is a serious trek, but this team of professionals got us both to the summit and back- we are very grateful for the entire team for leading us through it all!
A tip for those considering this trip- get the private toilet. The public toilets at the campsites and heavily used, potentially a long, cold walk from your tent and generally disgusting. The private toilet is a small price to pay for sanitary conditions.
On the safari, our guide Maulid and Ambrosia was outstanding. They seems to know everything about everything out there! They are very personable and was really committed to making sure they tailored each day to fit our needs. We very much enjoyed his company on the long, bumpy rides across the 3 parks we visited. They are dedication to us on this trip- our safety, comfort and enjoyment- is a tribute to they are skills as guides.
Finally, all of the hotels booked through Hekima Safaris were great, and also a shout out to the drivers who seamlessly transferred us from place to place Ambrosia :-). Hekima has a real 'spirit of customer service' that is evident in every interaction we had with everyone before, during and after the trip.
In closing, I simply cannot say enough good things about Hekima and the trip in general- thanks to everyone who made it happen.

Very professional, I would definitely hire them again EXCELLENT
A magnificent and wonderful experience. I would definitely repeat the safari we did to Mikumi Park with them. A 10 in everything, from the beginning, everything was great, the communication with Lenard to advise us was very good, he responds very quickly to WhatsApps and emails. Everything on the safari was perfect, very punctual, very serious and very well organized, the safari guide and the taxi that took us to the park were very professional. We are very happy and I am sure that if we return to Tanzania I would call you again to hire your services. Thank you Lenard for caring at all times.

Totally uncomplicated, organized and nice.
Had a 3 day safari through Queen Elizabeth and Mburo National Park. Our safari guide Shafik gave us wonderful insights into the African wilderness and we were able to see many different animals. Highly recommended!

An excellent tour with breathtaking discoveries.
It was a very good tour. We first spent two days driving through Queen Elisabeth Park and saw lions, gazelles, buffalo, crocodiles, hippos and so much more. The second day included a boat tour in the park. This is highly recommended. We saw at least 70 elephants and countless hippos. On the third day we went back and visited Mburu Park. Giraffes and zebras are the highlights here.
The tour bus is very modern and even has a refrigerator.
Overall it is highly recommended.
