Either the reviews are fake or I was the one very unlucky customer.
The 7 days Serengeti/Wildebeest migration/Ngorongoro crater/Foot of Kilimanjaro trip that never was.
It turned out to be a 5 day safari with game drives only, so I am short of 2 days of activities. During that time no communication from the company.
No accommodation was booked for me while in the Serengeti so it was 3 days of genuine stress wondering where I would sleep. The driver tried many times to be in contact with the company to no avail. I couldn’t join another group that actually wanted to see the famous crossing as I could not have bore the cost and could not be in contact with Ngekewa safaris anyway.
After initially denying any wrong doing on their part and being told I would have to pay for accommodation myself in the park, I was finally contacted one day after being dumped at a hotel in Arusha as my final destination. I had to arrange and pay for an extra night as my trip ended abruptly and before planned.
By the last communication, compensation was going to be offered but apparently only if we met in person. Which I find strange and couldn’t happen since I was not around. Now which compensation? I will never know. A refund? I doubt that. A voucher? …will I ever use them again? Nope.
Since then, not a peep. And zero communication from the company’s director either.
I am not going on a campaign against them and you can decide for yourself but as far as I am concerned, I have wasted a month’s salary, never saw what I paid for and did a very expensive bunch of game drives I could have paid for a fraction of the price in the neighbouring countries. A once in a lifetime experience they have totally ruined for me.
So maybe I was super unlucky but I certainly cannot recommend them.

Amazing experience
While there are countless safari options available, contacting the agency and Witness was incredibly straightforward. She promptly responded to our messages, allowing us to tailor the safari to our preferences. We even had the opportunity to visit Kilimanjaro National Park for a walking tour and to join locals for coffee preparation. Immediately after, with our guide Guzlov, we headed straight to the first park. He proved to be an exceptional guide, ensuring we spotted all the animals we had hoped to see. Guzlov took great care of us throughout the journey, offering insights into animal life and migration systems in the Serengeti and surrounding parks. Staying overnight in the Serengeti was a truly remarkable experience. The hotel was superb, with attentive staff who catered to our every need. The sunrise breakfast overlooking the Serengeti was unforgettable. All the guides and drivers who accompanied us also provided exceptional service.

Totally amazing
It was an amazing journey.
In 5 days I visited 4 parks - Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and saw a huge amount of animals. Thank you to our guide for exposing us to the beauty of Africa. He was very experienced and courteous and we were very lucky to have him. All trips were accompanied by unique experiences, scenery and discoveries. Special thanks to our chef who fed us all along the way. I also spent one day with another guide who also left only positive impressions.
There were some amazing people in my group who were a pleasure to meet and share this time with.
An amazing experience that will be remembered for a lifetime.

welcoming, well organized and friendly
we loved the tour, it was well organized we had a great tour guide, William who was very knowledgeable of the area and the animals, birds we spotted. He did his upmost to ensure we saw the big five and we were luck enough to see an actual hunt of a lion and a wilder-beast !
Our tour was one of the few who had hot meals for lunch, many other tours had only sandwiches. our tour agent was also very helpful always just a chat away (we used whats app mostly).

Covered every detail for the safari
I had the offer for a 7 day safari from the tour agency, which I have liked the most as seemed that it covered lots of things I wanted to see and was organized very detailed. Overall, all the drivers and helpers were great making sure I had the best experience.
It was an amazing 7 days and I have seen loads of animals from very close. The balloon experience was the icing on the cake!

Great experience
The communication with the company, both by email and WhatsApp, was always quick from the moment I requested a quote. Joshua was helpful answering all the questions I had, which were a few.
The tour was well organised and we didn't experience any issue. I only missed the guide being a bit more proactive to provide information about the animals we saw, however he was always ready to explain things whenever we asked something or had a doubt.
I personally chose the budget accommodation and it was just fine, even the campsites, which have awesome locations, by the way.
In terms of the safari in itself, it definitely is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. All 3 parks I saw (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) are stunning, with lots of animals around and beautiful scenery.
