Trip of a lifetime!!
I couldn’t have imagined a more spectacular and memorable bucket list trip to Kenya and Tanzania, and Leadwood Holidays is all to thank. I am always the trip planner, making detail oriented plans to the hour, but relented the itinerary of this trip to the experts.
The focus of the trip was seeing as many animals and as much natural beauty as possible, and what we experienced vastly exceeded my expectations. Beautiful lush savannahs and grasslands, mountains, rivers, the Big 5 and herds of thousands of animals, was absolutely magical. We were also able to experience some of the city, beaches, and countryside as well. The guides were so experienced, knowledgeable and professional. The safari vehicles we rode in were spacious and comfortable and included amenities such a coolers and charging stations. The lodges and campsite were clean, modern, with staffs committed to the highest level of hospitality.
It is clear that the experts at Leadwood Holidays know this area inside and out. They listened to my wish list and made it all come true. And even more surprising is that over a 15 day holiday, we did not have one set back or problem. Despite spending a good amount of time traveling from one destination to the next, crossing borders, traveling by cars and planes, we did not have one delay or mishap.
Thank you to Leadwood for the trip of a lifetime!

Professional, patient, knowledgeable
We spent a week in Tanzania exploring the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater and it was truly an unforgettable experience thanks to our guide John. His knowledge and experience went above and beyond expectations - he was patient, professional, and a joy to be around as we got up close to so many animals and saw everything we dreamed of seeing (including the rhino!!). I would go on this trip again in a heartbeat and 100% recommend Leadwood Holidays if you’re looking for the most amazing safari experience!

Magical Safari
We spent 6 days on a spectacular safari under the guidance of John from Leadwood Holidays. We saw over 40 animals and countless birds. Animals were so close to our truck that we could almost touch them. The experience was beyond our expectations. John was knowledgeable, punctual, professional and an exceptional guide. I also used Leadwood on side trips to Kilimanjaro and Arusha Park. 10/10

KIND, professional and trustworthy!
We had the pleasure of going on a private 13-day Tanzania Safari that was planned by Elias and guided by John. Elias went above and beyond in terms of planning, answering questions, and making suggestions and adjustments to our custom itinerary. We had previously been on Safari so we had an idea of how things worked and what we wanted to see, but Elias’s expertise was invaluable in planning a route that would take us through all of the areas we wanted to visit while minimizing travel time and distances in between accommodations. Our accommodations were a mix of lodges and tented camps, depending on the locations, and all of them exceeded our needs and expectations of amenities, comfort, dining and staff. It’s obvious that Elias has a trusted network of partners that he has built relationships with.
John quickly transitioned from guide to travel companion. It was easy to see his passion for where he lives and what he does as he pointed out wildlife and scenery, looking up anything we had questions about in the reference books that he had brought along. John took us to well known wildlife viewing locations, as well as a few of his favourite quieter spots, expertly navigating us from one destination to the next. John’s knowledge and familiarity with the parks, and his keen eye, allowed us to see everything that we were hoping to see, and more. We sat and observed the animals, birds and trees for as long as we liked, never feeling rushed, only grateful to be in such good hands. He also picked the best spots for us to enjoy our picnic lunches. John guided us seamlessly through every transition, from Park gate entries to check-ins at accommodations and domestic and international airports. He simply did all of the thinking for us.
Each park was worth visiting for its own special reason, but our hearts will always remember walking amongst giraffes in Arusha National park; having breakfasts next to the elephants of Tarangire National Park; the birds, plants and trees of Lake Manyara; the abundance and diversity of wildlife and ecosystems in the Ngorongoro Crater; and the serenity and vastness of the plains of Central and Northern Serengeti, where we were lucky enough to see the Great Migration and two river crossings!!
Elias and John are kind, professional and trustworthy. Planning an adventure of this scope and cost mostly by email can be stressful, to say the least. Elias answered every question promptly and thoroughly and walked us through every single step. Once we saw John smiling and waiting for us in the arrivals area at Kilimanjaro airport, we knew that we had made the right decision to invest our time and money with them. We are so grateful to them both for the adventure of a lifetime and hope to travel with them again (and again) in the future. Thank you, Elias and John!!

Best safari ever organised by Leadwood Holidays!
Everything had worked out great. Our guide (John) was very nice, friendly and had a lot of knowledge about animals and nature. He drove very carefully and we felt safe. We saw a lot of animals and always had enough time to observe them. We saw the big five. Our camps were excellent with great service and delicious food. We highly recommend them.
