first safari, great experience
we've always wanted to do a safari with my husband and we did it for our honeymoon. We visited safaribookings.com as we knew this website was reliable (a youtuber promoted it by sharing her safari experience). then we started checking all the different safari packages and found that the 3 days safari by kiliholidays tours & safari was reasonnably priced compared to some others. The lodge we stayed in (included in the package) was also nice. Communication with the owner (Mack) was easy and quick (mail and whatsapp). We agreed on the starting date for the safari and made some customized arrangements (hour to pick us up and drop off us at the airports, food we ate etc). then Mack asked us to pay 300 $ as a deposit + 5% fee as the payment is online. Don't be afraid, it's not a scam. We paid the rest of the money on arrival in cash in dollar. During the 3 day experience, you don't have to pay anything except tips and beverages for dinner at the lodge). Thomas was our guide for the 3 days, he's very friendly and has the eye to catch animals. He does his best to make sure you're happy and see as more animals as possible). We did Tanrangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. We loved the 3 parks and saw plenty of animals (lions, bufalos, zebra, hyppos, giraffes, elephants, wildebeest, hyena, beautiful birds ... and even an attack of a lion on a warthog). tasty lunch is provided every day and you will have the opportunity to eat among animals during the safari. There are plenty of bottles of water in the 4x4 so you won't be thirsty. The only thing I would have liked to be aware of is the tsetse fly. There were plenty of them in Tanrangire national park and we were not dressed properly to avoid them (tip Thomas gave us : don't wear black and blue clothes as the tsetse fly is attracted by them and they bite). I don't know if there is a repellent to avoid them, I suggest you do your research about it. Mack also offered us a night in a hotel in Arusha on the 3rd day as our plane left the day after. The hotel was ok for one night but the area is not really touristic. To sum up, great experience, I really recommend this trip!

Excellent Safari
I went on a 3 days Safari in Mikumi Parc and it was marvelous !
The trip has been meticulously handled by Vivian who is a very friendly and accomodating person.
All the guides and drivers were cheerful, helpful and made sure that I adventured a lot ! And my god, I was blown away by the landscapes of this area, animals (especialy lions) and food !
I highly recommend this agency !

Well prepared, patient,informed and fun.
Wine, Stars and Wildflowers was a fantastic trip from start to finish. There's no problem whether you are a group, couple or single and the people we met on the trip made it memorable. We were blessed to see lots of flowers and our guides,Nicky Morris and Eugene shared their passion abundantly. All accommodation and food was good and our vehicle very comfortable. Plenty of loo and coffee breaks along the way. Hennie ,Andy and Charles did make this trip fantastic. Thank you.

Well oiled, profesionally run operation
We had a fantastic experience with these guys: the whole safari was very well organized, communication was always easy, quick, professional, the lodges were very good (especially Marera). Our guide and driver, David Simba, is an experienced and very lucky guy when it comes to spot animals in the plain and in the trees! We definitively got our money's worth!

Best 3 days of my life (Literally)
I had a crazy experience with Hekima Safari. I will never forget his 3 days Safari. It was my childhood dream and Hekima Safari helped me make it come true in the best possible way.
First, I would like to start with our guide Fredy. I have never met a person as selfless as him. He made us discover the savannah and was very careful from the start to the end of our Safari. He is a wonderful, smiling and happy person. This is the best meeting we had on this trip (Fredy if you read this cheetah girls loves you ♥ ️ ♥ ️)
Then I would like to thank Ely for everything he has done for us. Whenever we needed something, he was there. Whenever we had a problem, he had a solution. It really is the best.
We were accommodated in luxury lodges in the middle of the savannah. I will never forget those 2 nights, it was unreal! The staff were super nice and I'm shocked at the cleanliness, I didn't think it was going to be that clean but it was really great

Over the top Tanzanian Experience!
We chose Lion King Adventures as they provided high quality service from their very first response to our many questions be had, so we had a good feeling about them from the beginning and where not to be disappointed. First we did a Kilimanjaro hike, which was well planned, organized and executed. The guides Saladini and Abdi where outstanding, know so much about the mountain and helped us to conquer the mountain successfully. Afterwards we did our private and individually planned safari tour via Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngoronogro and Serengeti. I have done a lot of Safaris in many African countries so I know what I am talking about. Its save to say that we had probably one of the best guides out there in Tanzania. He was extremely passionate and really keen to give us the best experience possible. He always understood nature and animals, which I felt gave us a great benefit while experiencing the wildlife. It seems like Richard know all the animals in this vast land and their individual behavior. Altogether it was an over the top and always be remembered experience. Happy to come back. Can only recommend Lion King to everyone. Cheers, Alex

nothing was left to chance; every detail was carefully laid out in an easy to understand fashion.
Compass Odyssey delivered a truly memorable and outstanding tour of 4 countries in Africa. The tour was laid out in an easy to understand series of documents. Nothing was left to chance. Every day of the tour was delineated from covid testing, airline flights, lodging, meals, etc....the people that were responsible for all our daily activities were introduced to us in the documents. These individuals that provided all the services were top tier.....from the animal guides to the camp hosts you got the best. Darren from Compass Odyssey checked in with us frequently to insure that all was going as planned. Kate and Darren had to make last minute tour changes due to unforeseen circumstances. If you want the best tour custom designed for you, then Kate and Darren from Compass Odyssey should be your choice. Thanks Compass Odyssey for designing a tour that exceeded our expectations....

Bobby is the man!
Kili Twende was an amazing touring company. We did our Kilimanjaro trek and safari with Bobby and his crew. They were absolutely fantastic. The safari was amazing. Both Bobby and our driver, Ben, were extremely knowledgeable. The put us in the best position to see all the wildlife. I highly recommend Kili Twende for all your Tanzania travels.
