An amazing experience
We did a 4 day Safari with Hekima and it was a really wonderful experience. The team is well organized and treat you more like friends rather than customers. Amaani was our guide and he always made sure we were the first team out of the camps. He was very experienced despite his young age and would often spot Cheetahs and lions despite them being really far away and well camouflaged. The food was great and everything was well taken care of. If you're looking to do a Safari, I'd suggest you stop looking and book with them as they're also the most reasonable in terms of cost that we could find on this website. Highly recommended!

Lifetime adventure with very professional & passionate team!
Tour was perfectly organised, well scheduled, safe and fulfilling all expectations. Guides and staff are not only highly professional but also friendly and passionate. Everything starting from cars & accomodation going through food & experiences and getting to people & atmosphere - everything totally fulfilled my expectations.

Couldn't expect a better experience than with Hekima Safaris!
Jackson and his team were perfect and amazing. They arranged the 4-day safari in tents for my friend and I. The organization was really good from the pick-up to the drop-off at the airport, including the safari itself, the food (very tasty), the accomodation and even the great night out (thanks again for the great fun!). Jackson even dropped my forgotten sunglasses to one of my friend in Dar. I recommand really much Hekima Safaris which is a reliable company. Thanks again for the great memories and hope to come back again!

Exceeded the expectations!
My sister and I had 5 days for a safari, and we spent a lot of time researching which safari provider to use. Most of them were not able to arrange Safaris to Serengeti start from Mwanza most of Safaris provider start from Arusha , but Hekima created a customized, one-way itinerary for us by starting our safari in Mwanza and ending in Arusha Hekima finalize our itinerary. Emails were addressed quickly and the guys deals with reservation provided great advice and suggestions. We also like that they have connection with people from Poland made us feel more comfortable submitting payment to them and feeling confident that everything was all set.
They all customer care from Poland they been responding our questions quickly. Our safari guide, Juma was amazing! So so so knowledgeable :) , patient and friendly. He navigated the roads after heavy rains with ease and has eagle-eye vision to spot animals. We saw all the animals and never once felt rushed by him. He was also extremely punctual he showed up the morning of our safari ahead of schedule, and also checked in on us the night before to ensure we checked into the lodge safely.
Hekima runs the Hekima House where we stayed after Safaris , it was fantastic with all the energy of the stuff! Beautifully designed, friendly staff,
There are so many safari companies out there, and I'm sure a lot of them are very good. However, I was very impressed with Hekima Safaris and recommend them eagerly
Ps: I saw Hekima working with one organization in Southern part of Tanzania that helps woman farmers!I was impressed by the impact they can have on society
Guys kip doing what your doing.

I enjoyed even minute of the safari with Hekima
I booked a 5-day safari and a couple of nights at the Hekima House (hostel). On the day when I arrived, I felt very welcomed imminently. Every moment all the guys who work at Hekima try to make the experiences as good and suitable for you as possible. Even after the safari, we watched the Lion King together, played cards and they took us out to the party.
I would recommend this company if you enjoy being with a nice group of people and don't mind camping. Even if you want something that their standard program doesn't provide, just email them to see what the options are. They will find a way to make it work for everybody.

The experience of a lifetime!
I spent 6 days with Hekima this summer for my 30th birthday, and it was just completely beyond anything that i expected. The guys took hospitality to another level. Upon arriving (the day of my birthday) our now good friend and brother Issa provided us with transport from Arusha Airport to a small but charming hostel in Arusha, where we were melted by Elieza and Jackson. Unknowingly, these guys had made a huge effort to make us all feel welcome....and celebrate my birthday! I had no idea that they knew it was my birthday, but they organised a fantastic party for me and my friends, and all the other guests at the apartments. They provided us with amazing, home cooked food, local cocktails and just a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We were all really overwhelmed by how friendly and welcoming these guys were, and they really treated us as though we were their family. I have been to many places, but have to say that I have never received a reception as warm as this before. They are good friends of us now, and like family. The safari itself went beyond any expectations that we had. We saw everything that we could was to see and more. Issa was our guide, and he was very knowledgable, very kind and very funny. We really had a great time not only on the safari, but just getting to know Issa. We listened to reggae music through the day and just smiled and laughed the entire time. The locations for the safari were incredible, and it was just amazing being so close to nature, and camping in these surroundings. The food provided during the safari was plentiful and of a good standard. I can't say anything other than very positive things about Hekima, and all the guys that put their time and love into running a business that provides people with an experience of a lifetime. I love all of the guys, and I will keep in touch with them long into the future. I hope to see them again soon.

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.

Amani Adam made the safari amazing!!
I suppose that most of the safaris try to achieve the big 5. If they do, they could be happy about it. But in our case, it was not just to be able to complete the big5 (so we did). What made the safari REALLY AMAZING was how Amani Adam (the driver) was able to integrate all of us in the car, telling us stories, showing us the behavior of the animals, celebrating our goals, being focus all the time in finding other kind of animal to explain us about it. I think a safari could be good or not, but because of Amani, our one was really really GREAT.

Amazing experience with a great team
The Hekima team were great in their service, communications and making everyone feel welcome. The safari was excellent, the guide very knowledgable and the whole experience was amazing. We were able to see the “big 5” and so much more.
