Unbelievable :)
My safari trip with Hekima Safaris East Africa was perfect and genuinely couldn't have been any better. The trip planning was easy and stress free thanks to the quick and detailed replies from reservation department at Hekima .Our tour guide on the safari, Juma and the high management was unbelievable very PROFESSIONAL . Ely listened to what we were interested in & made 100% effort to ensure that our tour was amazing in every way. I really wanted to see lions and Hippopotamus when we were there and guide pulled out all the stops to ensure that we seen lions. Hekima team I can say they are so knowledgeable and they are so much passion for what they does you can realized this from the first email :)
Our accommodation that we was arranged for us by Hekima was also perfect. I’d like to mention that the food for our lunches on safari was delicious & we loved that we got to try some proper Tanzania food. The bottle of wine was also a great touch! Thank you for a fantastic trip, we will remember our trip with Hekima Safaris always

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 :)

GREAT!
We did a 15 days private safari starting from Kilimanjaro Aiport, Tanzania going through Tanzanian and Kenya National parks and ending up our trip at Jomo Kenyatta International aiport in Nairobi. A company guide Emanuel came all the way from Arusha to greet us at the airport. We went to Tarangire ,Lake Manyara ,Ngorongoro and Serengeti, than we flew from Soronera central Serengeti to Arusha aiport . We had few Days rest with cultural program and City tour. Everything was organized by Hekima team and we had really Great local experience. We also did short trek around mount Kilimanjaro and visit local Chaga tribe . Then we crossed border to Kenya to Amboseli Park. Hotels choice and arrangement was excellent. Our guide in Tanzania was Emmanuel who was very knowledgeable and friendly. The guide for Kenya was Ken who we heared is new guide for Hekima, he is young, but is very passionate and did great job for us. All the staff is friendly and gives The holiday a personal touch. Overall the prices are good and the service is super PROFESSIONAL and friendly. As well, we were warned before that companies in East Africa sell clients between each other (This was different story with Hekima) all The service was operated by Hekima 100 % that i belive was Great advantage as they stayed in Touch with us and directly made sure that everything was Perfect :)

Great service! Good places to stay, safe and friendly for a solo traveler
Jackson and Eli are great. They gave me a good price for my safari tour that combined Tanzania and Kenya. I was a solo traveler but Eli joined me in my trip to Kenya to make sure I was staying in nice places. He was great companion. We visited many places and I always felt safe and in a well-organized tour. In Tanzania, Jackson made his best to accommodate to my needs under some unexpected events happening. He made sure I was happy with my itinerary and with service.

Everything we wanted
Our guide, Ezekiel, was amazing and he catered to exactly what we wanted. When we said we wanted red bananas, he stopped and got some that day. He also brought us to a tribal village to visit when we said it sounded interesting. When we said we wanted to go shopping at a local place, he brought us to a great one. He is also one of the best guides around, and knew where all of the animals were hiding/ sleeping. Other guides looked up to him and asked him for help when their trucks broke down and asked where the elusive jaguars were. We were so lucky to have him!

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!
