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.

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!

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

The dream came true
A fantastic trip all together! I contacted several tour agencies and i choose Hekima Safaris as they were very helpful and flexible when it came to organising the trip. They were very prompt in answering all my questions which was very important as i was planning the trip in a hurry.Our guide Ema was very respectful of the animals and at the same time made alot of effort to find all the animals we wanted to see
Hekima will make sure you'll have an unforgettable experience!
The Jeep for safari is very comfortable . Our guide Emanuel brought us to beautiful places and knew exactly what we wanted to do and see!
If you wish to get the safari of your dreams, I would recommend Hekima to make your dreams come true!
Hop to see you guys again

Hekima are the best, they exceeded all expectations !!
If it wasn't for Hekima and their staff we wouldn't have enjoyed our trip so much. This was our honeymoon so we wanted it to be special and not just the ordinary safari trip. Hekima made sure that all lodges, hotels, tents etc where notified about our honeymoon so that they could prepare the best rooms and special service throughout the whole trip. I can never stop recommending them to anyone who wishes to travel to Africa for the best Safari experience of a lifetime.

Ask for Benson - He is the best!
We had an awesome safari through Hekima. We went on a five day trip starting in Tarangire with a day of Game driving, then we went to the Serengeti (quite a long drive there, but that's how it is) where we went for an evening Drive after arriving, finding plenty of Lions and a lot of other cool animals. The day after we did a full day of Game driving where our Guide and Driver (Benson, Great guy) found us all of the big five before we had lunch. the Day after he said he'd try to find us some Cheetahs, and he did. He had a great reaction aswell as he was very quick to follow alongside the Cheetahs when they suddenly started running. The last day we did a morning Drive around Ngorongoro where we tried to find the Rhinos, but they hide quite well in the bushes there. (Which i didn't know they could seeing as they are so huge). To make the day end on a high note Benson brought us to the Hippo pool in Ngorongoro, which looked a lot nicer for the hippos than the one on the Serengeti (they actually had space to frolic in the water).
Also, the Chef Marcus made some great meals for us, and was just full of cheer.
Overall we had an amazing safari and would love to go to another park in Tanzania, with Benson as our Guide.

Amazing Hekima Safari
If you wanna get an amazing safari tour, you should choose Hekima team. Communication with Hekima team before our safari tour was always without any problem. They always answered our questions, were very helpful and friendly :) and it was before our arrival. When we arrived to Arusha, all staff in Hekima House were very friendly and you feel like when you come to visit your friends,... They were really nice to us and made a great program how to get to know Arusha better. It was never boring! Also food was very delicious and various. The safari was just a dream ❤️ Experience, adventure,... We had amazing time during the safari tour, you can not be hungry or unsatisfied,..

They took great care of us!
We booked a five day safari with Hekima. Unfortunately one of us got sick so we had to cancel the safari on day 2. In the meanwhile we could stay at Hekima House where the very friendly staff took great care of us. We couldn’t ask for more.
The manager helped us a lot with preparing bills and setting up a letter for our insurance company.
We would definitely recommend this company because they will make sure you are all right!

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 :)
