Magic tour!
We had a 8N/9D Safari, from lake Manyara, Tarangire NP, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Hot springs.
It was all amazing, we had Such a wonderfull time.
First day, Hot springs, it was quite a restfull day, (fortunatly, cause it took us 28 hours to get in Tanzania), eat a wonderfull chapati there with our guide Sam, he is funny!
Next day lake Manyara, gret vegetation, and many birds and Baboons, our guide Barton was a very expert of wild Animal!
Serengeti is... Just amazing, our jeep broke something, but Barton after our game drive had fix that to allow us to continue. Great driver! We saw all the big five! We didn't see cheetah :(, (we will return).
Ngorongoro was a paradise. So many wildbeest and Zebra! Also Tarangire with his baobab was great. During our trip, Davi the chef, come with us, he Cook so many different things, all of them was very very very good, we get fat :).
Than we get to Zanzibar, Amina bring us in an amaxing tour through Stone town. then the Resort was perfect, the sea there not, But it e
Was not the right season.
Lulu is our tour operator from ngekewa, she was amazing, she followed us step by steo. Thank you, you all from our heart.

Joshua the BEST
We are delighted with this small company. The service has been excellent. From the very beginning, I noticed the friendliness and good vibe of all their employees. I’d like to especially mention Joshua, who was very attentive to us both upon arrival and departure. We traveled as just two people, and they joined us with a very good group and a guide we will never forget. We leave with our hearts full of joy and experiences. Thank you so much for everything. P.S.: A little sign at the airport pickup wouldn’t hurt 😅 haha

Didn't get what we payed for
Travelling with a friend we booked a 5N/4D safari, with the last day being a private day to Lake Natron. The guides was really good and knowledgable and we saw all the animals we hoped for and more!
So for the Lake Natron visit we spesifically booked a visit to a Masai Boma. Firstly, Lake Natron was a dissaponitment in itself and was nothing like the pictures (pink lake) and looked just like any other water. We saw a lot more flamingos in the other days on safari than here, where there was suppose to be so many. I know that you can't guarantee for wild life but it just felt like this was not a good time of year to go or maybe it was not the right spot? And finally we did not go the Masai Boma as the guide was not informed about this. We told him in the morning, but he later told us that he din't understand as he was not informed about this. We have complained to the office afterwards and they just blame the guide for this and have not responded to my follow up questions and comments. My brand new suitcase (USD0165 )was also broken during the safari and caused a lot of hassle for me for the rest of my trip. This is also ignored.

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).
