Best than ever with attractive price, wonderful service and amazing safari!
I got several contacts with different safary companies online at first, but ngekewa safari reply my messages fast which makes me feel it's more reliable, and the price is also very attractive than most other safaries package online. I even got a discount because of my Tanzania residence permit.
Salim is doing the operating job very well I really appreciate, all their staff are so friendly and politely.
Valence is our tour guild also driver, he is doing such a wonderful job during my 5 days safari of Tarangire national park, serengeti national park and ngorogoro national park, I see the king lion, lion family groups, elephant family groups, hippos a lot in the water also in the jungles and some are fighting, great animal migration of wildebeest, lot of zebras,
buffalo, giraffe, hyena, cheetah, crocodile, antelope, lot of beautiful birds like flamingo and others, we also see how lion huntings it's very interesting and amazing! I would like to rate 5 star for my safari and for the tour guide Valence. He caring people very well and so professional!
My last day kilimajaro materuni and hot spring tour I went with Tour guid Kevin and driver gold. They are very friendly, warm hearted and knowing a lot on so many things. Thank you for bringing me to the amazing spring with small fish for massage with nice warm water in the morning and beautiful scenery.
And thank you for join me the coffee tour at materuni, it's so fantastic experience to know how coffee power growing and made. I.also see waterfall and taste the kilimajaro original water from kilimajaro mountain! They also bring me to Serval wildlife to touch and feeding animals that's great experience thqn ever!
Also the cooker david is so professional, thanks for providing delicious food eveey day I really like the food like pumpkin soup, banana soup, handmade bread, pizza, fried noodles, pancakes BBQ fiah, fried and roasted chicks, beef and others much!

Fascinating tour with a fantastic guide
We've had a 3-day tour. Our guide tried very hard on the first day we spent in Tarangire Park. He made every effort to see the maximum number of animals. In addition, during our visit, he constantly shared interesting facts about animals and their lives. On the second day, we had a small force majeure, but it's worth paying tribute, they took care of us at a good clinic, and guys accompanied us throughout this period. Thank you so much for this! It is essential to know that if something happens to you during the trip, you will not be abandoned but will be helped) We did not get to Ngorongoro on the second day, but Ngekewa quickly organized another tour to Manyara Park. On the third day, we had a visit to the coffee plantation. A lovely family greeted us. We cooked traditional dishes and learned the processes of making coffee. Thank you so much for these indescribable feelings.

Excellent agency, great tours.
Good agency. Jocelyn responded quickly to our questions and arranged airport pick-up and transfer. The tour was really nice. Our guide/driver David was very nice, funny, explained everything about animals, didn't rush the group while providing the information about different scenarios. Our chef Geoffrey prepared excellent meals and were very delicious. I highly recommend Ngekewa tours due to their excellent services.

Experience of a lifetime!
A couple of months ago i was on a 7-day safari with Ngekewa Safari, and I can’t recommend them enough! As a solo traveler, I had some doubts before leaving, but Lulu from the office patiently answered all of my questions, putting me at ease from the start. Our guide, Mali, was amazing—knowledgeable, fun, and incredibly skilled at driving. We had so much fun camping, and thanks to Mali, I got to see all of the Big Five!
One thing to note is that Ngekewa Safari combines travelers with different itineraries, which is actually a great way to let everyone customize their trip. However, this approach requires a bit of flexibility. At times, it felt like we weren’t entirely sure if certain activities would happen as planned, but hakuna matata—everything turned out right in the end. Just be open to the experience, and you’ll have an unforgettable safari!
After the Safari my tour included one day in Moshi, in the rainforest, at the Chagga tribe coffee plantations. It was amazing to change scenery and i was guided by Sam, that was so nice and explained to me everything about his culture and plants.
If you’re looking for a safe, well-organized, budget friendly and thrilling safari experience, Ngekewa Safari is the way to go!

Good communication - Nice lodges - Amazing guides
- Animals spotted (not a guarantee but it's always nice to know what you could see) : Rhino, monkeys (different species), wildebeest, buffalos, giraffes, cheetahs, lion (and a climbing one!), rhino (from far away), hyenas (from far away), flamingos, hippos, gazelles (different species), birds (different species), crocodile (very subtile), elephants, leopard, warthogs
- The guides : As I was travelling alone, I had 4 different guides. All of them were very nice and knowledgeable, it's kind of the russian roulette, I had a HUGE love for my last guide Mike (if you go with Ngeweka I really advice you to ask for him if he is available). He always chose the best spot for the pictures while respecting the animals, extended knowledge about the wildlife -animals and plants- and on our way to the game kept feeding me with info about the cities, the country, the culture etc... it was amazing and I would take him again without a doubt if I ever come back. Guides have good english, I met some that spoke very good french (i am french native).
- Joshua / The office : Always responding, great communication and answered all my questions. I had a little encounter with one of the group I was put with but after communicating with Joshua he found a perfect alternative for me. Very trustable.
- The lodges : The lodges in Serengeti were amazing, the hotels were nice too. I think it depends your budget ofc, I have seen better and worst lodges but for my budget I was very happy with it. In all of them, the service is AMAZING. People are really nice.
- The route : I did Tarangire twice, Ngorongo Crater (not like the pictures, it was cloudy but that's not something you can predict), Manyara Lake, Serengeti. For Serengeti, after talking to my last guide, I would advice to take more time there and go up north were apparently you do see amazing sceneries there. I did a game night as well as a air balloon one (highly recommend).
Overall it was my first time in Africa and first safari ever. Joshua answered all my concerns before coming, and was still reachable during the safari. I advice you to have your own data and not rely on wifi for emergencies (questions to Joshua for example during the day etc..). If you are travelling alone or by 2, I would highly suggest you to take a private guide for your safari. I didn't and ended up with a group in Serengeti (2 days) were there were some encounters. I switched to private for the last day and it was game changing - Joshua found the best guide ever and I couldn't have been more satisfied of that last day, best day of the entire trip. I would recommend Ngeweka with my eyes closed. I would however be more vocal about what I don't want before planning the safari now that I have experienced one so give in detail exactly what experience you are looking for and I am pretty sure Joshua will accommodate it.

Amazing experience
We had the safari experience we were hoping for! From the very beginning, the services provided were incredible. They picked us up at the airport, and we had all the comforts throughout the trip. A great driver and guide, excellent lodges, and a well-organized safari with the best quality-price ratio on the market. Thanks to Joshua and Sale!

Safari has overcome my expectations
Tour was well organised. We were able to visit tanghire park, serengeti and ngorongoro and we were lucky to see all the animals and many chitas and lions.
The only thing I can say is that it would have been better if all the people in the jeep would have sleep in a same location instead of 2 differents ones.
The guide Sereva was professional and he explained us many things about animals and their behavior.
Francklyn was my contact for the tour operator. He was alwyas available and professional.
