Highly recommended safari comany
5/5

We just returned from an incredible 10-day safari with Highneck Safaris, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime! Zakaria, the tour operator, went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, providing personalized service with daily check-in messages that made us feel so cared for throughout the journey.

Our tour guide, Edward, was absolutely exceptional—one of the best people we’ve ever met. Over the course of the trip, we not only admired his immense knowledge of nature and wildlife but also became great friends. His patience, passion, and genuine love for what he does made the experience unforgettable.

Every aspect of the safari exceeded our expectations, from the seamless planning to the breathtaking moments in the wild. We wholeheartedly recommend Highneck Safaris for anyone seeking a truly remarkable and personalized adventure. Thank you, Zakaria and Edward, for making this journey so special!

Exceptional Experience with a Luxury Twist
5/5

We couldn’t wish for a better safari experience - High Neck were very reliable, flexible and accommodating.
Even though we came during the low season, our amazing guide Edward was able to show us all the animals we wanted to see and really went extra mile to show us around.
The definite highlight of the trip was also the choice of accommodations that High Neck did for us - we got a chance to stay in incredible lodges in all the parks and even in the famous Four Seasons Serengeti.
Another important thing to mark is the absence of touristic traps - we were not taken to any fake souvenir shops, irrelevant museums or staged shows. Our main goal was to focus on spotting animals and our guide did everything to maximize our time in the parks.
Overall, just an amazing experience - from the most comfortable car (even in comparison to fellow safari travelers in the park) to local insight from the guide and, of course, seeing all the Big 5!
Thank you!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience
5/5

We saw all the animals, including leopard and rhinos, that are very hard to spot. Our guide was fantastic — knowledgeable and passionate, no matter how much driving there was or complex the route our guide made sure we saw every animal! — and the lodges were comfortable and beautifully located. Every day was a new adventure, with stunning landscapes and incredible wildlife. I highly recommend this agency and our guide Edward, if you want want to be guided by people that really care and who want to give you the absolute best experience. You can really see they care! Can't thank them enough. Hope to be back soon

Perfect Vacation—Safari, Hiking, Culture, Beach
5/5

We are deeply grateful for Mr.Zakaria’s meticulous arrangements before and during our trip, which made this extraordinary holiday possible and left us with an enduringly positive impression of Tanzania. To summarize our experience, the following aspects stood out as particularly exceptional:

1. During the planning phase, your patient and detailed email correspondence ensured perfectly selected accommodations throughout our journey. All seven hotels we stayed in exceeded an 8/10 rating. Special mention goes to:
- Pink Flamingo Boutique Hotel (dual-family villa)
- Anantya Camp
- Gran Meliá Arusha
- Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort
These four approached a perfect 10/10 while offering excellent value.

2. The itinerary design masterfully balanced hiking, safari, cultural immersion, and beach relaxation. This rich, multi-layered experience allowed us to discover Tanzania from diverse perspectives.

3. The landscapes across national parks were utterly breathtaking. Witnessing the Great Wildebeest Migration and observing lions and elephants roaming the savannah created lifelong memories for us as wildlife enthusiasts.

4. Drivers and guides at Mount Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar demonstrated outstanding professionalism and dedication. Their knowledgeable commentary significantly deepened our understanding of Tanzania’s geography, nature, and culture—reflecting the high standards of your tourism industry.

5. Throughout our travels, we were consistently met with genuine warmth and hospitality from Tanzanian locals. Their kindness made us quickly fall in love with your country.

We are truly grateful for creating such an unforgettable journey through Africa’s vibrant spirit.

Our tour operator was flexible, patient and extremely knowledgable
5/5

My wife and I visited Tanzania with Edward guiding us on behalf of Highneck Safaris. Edward, our guide, was amazing and incredibly friendly. We connected immediately and he really improved our trip so much with how knowledgeable he was about the animals and environments we were going through in and out of the parks. He also has the eyes of an eagle and spotted so much that we would have missed. The support from the office was amazing as well, they kept in constant contact making sure we were enjoying our time and the office even came up with more activities we could add to our package depending on the area we were in. We would absolutely book with Highneck's again and we probably will again in the future, since this will not be our last trip to Tanzania!
