Lifetime Safari
I haven't stopped talking about it since I've been home. Everyone asks, "What was the best of your month in Africa?" My reply was so easy, "By far, the Serengeti Safari with the Lendimi African Safari Trip!"
I have dreamed of going on a safari for most of my life. I even had an African Travel fund going with gifts from birthdays and Christmas's gifts. I have literally researched African Safari Companies in Tanzania for the last 10 years, and just never found one I could both afford and have the confidence they would be good.
But one day, I met Amana in Anchorage, Alaska and that was the beginning of my Dream Come True. Amana and I would pour over Tanzania maps and talk about the Serengeti. So our plan was materializing and believe it or not, it was a private safari with only 3 of us. I was also able to share my thoughts on what I thought would be interesting places in the Serengeti.
Before I knew it, we were making our flight arrangements and booking a 13 day safari with Lendimi Safari Company.
To say the trip was amazing is an understatement! The lodging and food left me speechless, I could never imagine such decadence or hospitality! I felt so very well cared for.
Our host, guide, drive and friend, Ima (Emmanual) was experienced, knowledgable, patient and just a great person to hang with. He even went way above a normal guides responsibilities and help me acquire a permit to take medical device across the border to Kenya. He put in over 20 hours of his own time to help me deliver these devices to a poor Maasai community in Kenya. Who does that any more?
Yes, I highly recommend the family owned and operated safari company, Lendimi. They incorporated everything I was looking for in a safari: Private, Affordable, Knowledgeable, Caring, Enthusiastic, Organized, Accommodating, and Responsible!
Of course, you will see hundreds of animals and have the best time of your life!

Our Safari with Lendimi African Safaris Exceeded All Expectations!
It is hard to find the words to describe the amazing safari adventure that my two friends and I enjoyed for 13 wonderful days in Tanzania. The experience exceeded my expectations in every way, starting with our friendly and knowledgeable guide, Emanuel. He made it his mission to ensure that we had the best time ever & he succeeded. Emi went above and beyond in every way, from positioning us in the best spots for observing wildlife, to dealing with an unforeseen immigration issue. We saw every wild animal that we were hoping to see, and many that I hadn't known existed. Emi was well versed in animal behavior and sighting them from afar, then taking us very close. We saw the spectacular Serengeti from above in a hot air balloon one morning. Our 8 passenger Land Cruiser with an openable lid was our daily vehicle for observing wildlife, including the great migration of wildebeests and zebras. We saw prides of lions, and lions on their honeymoon, leopards in trees, elephants curious enough to put our car's ariel into its mouth and another elephant showing up at our patio. Our accommodations and meals were fabulous & picnicking on the Serengeti was amazing. Emi set up a table & tablecloth, chairs & boxed lunches for us so we could spend the whole day out on safari instead of having to go back to a hotel to eat. In addition to seeing African animals, our trip included cultural days where we were blessed to meet the people of several different tribes & get a glimpse into their lives. I highly recommend Lendimi Safaris if you are thinking about making your dream of an African safari come true. It was a once in a lifetime, incredible trip!
