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!

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.

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!

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.

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 experience
My wife and I were hesitant at first but everything went well. At the airport, a driver was waiting for us. When we arrived at the hotel, we were briefed on the organization of the safari.
We took 4 days: Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngororo with lodge. There were 6 of us tourists in the jeep, which was very comfortable. Perfect formula.
Remember to bring your binoculars, snacks, a sweater (it is cold in the evening and morning in Ngororo especially).
We had a great guide, Agustin, 26 years of experience, with whom we had an incredible time.
Thanks again for this Safari
