Mind-blowing safari - it was life time adventure :)
Me and my wife decided to choose Hekima as our tour operator for safari we had May this year. It was our first trip to Africa so we searched info from a lot of internet tips, blogs and forums to get our idea of what safari should be. Since January when I contacted Hekima I was asking a lot of questions and modifying plan at least couple of times.
I must say they were super patient with everything, professional and fast in providing answers but what is more they were simply friendly.
I never felt ignored and since moment we started to communicate by social media they have for me as much time as I needed.
After arriving Arusha, since day one, we felt extra cared. We choose option of 6 days safari with extra activity around Moshi and extended it with two days in Arusha.
The only thing I can say about sleeping at luxury camping is that... They are truly LUXURY and we have never expected it in such a way.
Our guide (Juma it was) was a blast. He is said to be experienced guide and I truly had this impression that he was faster that other drivers to spot animals and he presented this kind of intuition to spot animals before other jeeps arrived which felt quite cool.
Our cookers did great job, especially that my wife is vegan and in not so many countries it is easy for her to find food satisfactory. Marcus - the main chief - went beyond our expectations.
I can say a good word as well about Team in Hekima House - it was more local experience, after safari, gave us some taste of what 'real Tanzania is' as we were happy to join with other hostel guests for local party.
I m still highly impressed of all the work put in order to creat this all for us. For sure, I wish we can be back one day to Tanzania (thinking about mountain now) and with full responsibility I can recommend Hekima as company to organize such holiday for anybody - it is totally worthy to experience!

Dream came true
I was always dreaming to do a safari in Tanzania at the Serengeti Nationalpark. I heard the first time from Hekima from a traveller, whom i met in Cape town in November 2018, at the beginning from my Africa trip. He recommended this safari company and so I got in touch with them. When i arrived in Arusha they organized everything for me and welcomed me like a family member. The guest house is very cute, the crew very lovely, helpful and hospitable. The food at the guest house was always very delicious. And then the safari: it was mind blowing. We saw big 5 within 24 hours. Our driver was like an eagle and knew everything about the animals habitats. I had the best food in Tanzania while our safari. The tents were very big and the mattresses very comfy. All parks are unique and completely different. We had the best crew and group. I still cannot believe that my dream came true. Thanks a lot to Hekima team! You made it and helped me so much. Furthermore you help me to realize another big dream: Volunteering in Africa. No words can describe how lucky I am to have done these experiences with you. I had so many best moments with you. My heart is always with you and hopefully we will see us in 2020.

The experience is Indeed the Excellent experience
I cannot recommend Hekima Safaris enough. Not only are the guides so friendly, radically knowledgable and kind, they are extremely professional . The cooker Markus is beyond expectations, super creative and always trying to do his best to show Tanzanian cuisines from its best side.
Additionally, we had so much fun singing and dancing with Hekima family before and after safaris! Their concern didnt end with safari service but they took care about us all our stay in Arusha .
When you starts to plan thing too far in advance, sometimes the actual event falls short of your expectations and becomes a disappointment. I am so happy to report this was not the case with the safari we just completed wit HEKIMA SAFARIS as it far exceeded all of our expectations! Our planning began over year ago and HEKIMA SAFARIS was there every step of the way, promptly responding to inquiries and helping with creating our own plan. I researched safari companies thoroughly. Hekima was one of the least expensive options we found and after reading reviews we chose them. There was nothing cheap about the quality of the service, food or accomodations; all were top shelf if not down right luxurious. Our guide was a pleasure to be with for the time. He had a keen eye and sharp wit and continuously worked to keep us informed and happy. A safari is a big investment in time and money. You can't do better than Hekima Safaris I believe . We are so happy we chose them - what more could you ask for?
They have great social media as well, their Instagram account is woooo - guys kip the spirit alive :)

Amazing safari experience!
I really recommend everyone to book their safari with Hekima! I had an amazing safari experience with them, much thanks to our excellent guide Juma with his knowledge about animals and nature and our fantastic chef Marcus that cooked tasty meals for us. I enjoyed it so much that im thinking to do it soon again, and it will definitely be with Hekima next time too! Also thanks to the staff at Hekima house and the management for being so friendly and helpful. I will always remember this good experience!

Beyond our expectations!
Wow! What an experience!! We booked 5 days safari trip with Hekima and the trip was beyond out expectations. Jackson and the guys did a really nice job, everyone was really helpful and friendly. Before safari, we stayed in Hekima house and enjoyed the hospitaly of the stuff and great food they provide. Our safari guide Manu did a wonderful jub, providing us with interesting information and showing us all the animals we expected to see. Overall it was an amazing experience, I would 100% recommend Hekima to everyone. Thanks for everything and hope to see you again!!

all fantastic ... the best thing that has happened to me in life
Absolutely professional. We had better than better. Our driver approached the animals at least .. we have seen all the animals and in several moments, also of action. The guide explained and told us very interesting things. The perfect accommodation and food ... we will come back for sure. Asante sana.

An amazing experience in Africa, with Jackson and Elieza who are good friends!
We have traveled on September 2018 to Africa to witness the great migration and to visit this beautiful continent with which we dream our whole life. We were fortunate to choose Hekima for a whole seven-day program in Tanzania: visiting the main natural parks, touring the cities and towns and getting into the culture of the country accompanied by them to make us feel at home and giving us support for any eventuality.
Thank you very much for everything and my best wishes to all those who want to live a great experience with Hekima!

Undescribable experience
We (my cousin and me) went on a 4 day private trip to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and it was absolutely stunning! Together with our driver (and guide) and cook, we went on an unforgettable adventure, both lodge and tented camp (at night you hear the hyenas close to the camping site). Everything was well organised and taken care of by Hekima House and Safaris and I would definitely recommend staying and booking a safari via Hekima! Thanks again guys.

Best experience ever and I do mean the absolute BEST!!
I have a hard time putting into words the experience I had with Hekima safari. Arriving in Africa for my first time I had booked through a different agency who told me they would find me a safari that would work with my schedule. And how lucky I was!
I saw more animals in 4 days than I had seen in my entire life leading up to this, and yes every one of the big 5 was spotted.
Knowing nobody when I was picked up right on time at my hotel I was placed in a group of strangers for 4 days. Immediately everything clicked. The driver had such a great friendly personality with a wide knowledge of the area and the animals. And the food, EXCELLENT!
One of the owners of the company joined us just for fun which made the experience that much better. I left having made friends, seeing sights that seemed like I was dreaming and having an experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
I recommend this company more than the 5 stars I was limited too. I almost want to quit my job and work for them they are that good.
