Great experience overall
Overall, it was a fantastic trip.
Pros:
We saw lots of animals. Our guides in Kenya, Alex and Rino, and our guides in Tanzania, Jackson and Tony, were very helpful. They helped us spot many of the animals and helped us find good spots to video and photograph them.
We saw over 60 species of animals, including 28 mammals and 37 birds.
The tour guides were also very knowledgeable and were very familiar with all the animals in the safari.
We got to see a lot of different parks during the trip and many different landscapes.
Cons:
Some of the accommodation were very basic. We stayed in tents with no locks, and very limited amenities.
There was no air conditioning in the rooms. The air conditioning in the car also could not be used because of the dust in the safaris.
We spent a lot of time on the road, and the jeeps can be somewhat old, so they are not the most comfortable.
Overall, it is an extremely unforgettable trip that is very worth going at least once in your lifetime. Just be prepared for some discomfort along the way and embrace the nature.

Amazing vacation!
I discovered Benson through this Safari Bookings site, but I also got 2 quotes from other travel agents that were recommended by friends who lived in Kenya. We wanted to go to Diani Beach after, and Benson was the only one who worked with me to find a direct flight to the coast and also negotiated with the airline to get a better price. All the other agents just said I had to fly back to Wilson Airport first, and weren't very flexible nor helpful. Benson also helped to book us the SGR train back from Mombasa to Nairobi, as online bookings require mPesa which I don't have as a non-Kenyan.
The other tour operators just offered one place to stay all 3 nights, but Seremara had the option of 2 nights in the Mara and 1 night in Naibosho. To be honest, I had no idea what the difference was at the time, so I never would have considered this on my own, but I'm glad that Benson's tour package offered this. It really is great to experience time in Maasai Mara and a night in one of the adjoining private conservatories, because you get different experiences.
Overall, my husband and I had an amazing time and we would highly recommend you travel with Seremara!

Customer oriented, caring, punctual
Had a wonderful memorable trip with Serengeti greens run by Mr. Sadik. As per our interest they managed to cover Chamka hot springs and Duluti lake on the same day we arrived. Next day we started our game drive with our tour guide cum driver Mr. Good Luck.. He is very experienced and very cooperative.. we were lucky to see all the wild animals except rhino ( though spotted them very far).. all the accommodations were excellent..

A customer oriented tour operator
Our tour operator team lead by Sadick arranged everything in excellent manner. Had bit of hesitation to book an African tour only through online contact.Gone through some other review decides to go with them.found they are very genuine and very much customer oriented. I was with my elderly parents. They provided special care and ensured we all are getting real wild life experience. Guide Goodlluck ( yes that is his name) was very keen on it. He was a charming guy and he was caring my parents as if it s his parents we were able to see a lion chasing a giraffe.. what a scene!! Also spotted leopard.. thanks to observation skill of Good Luck . Our accommodation was also an amazing experience … those were comfortable and in ouch with nature in all aspects ..

Perfect
My family did our first ever trip to northern circuit of Tanzania through Hekima safaris .Mopoo was our go organizer and he did an outstanding job not only making sure we saw everything we wanted to and more on our safari but connecting with us on a personal level and going above and beyond to make us feel welcome.I would recommend our guide Juma and Hekima Safaris to anybody considering amazing safaris vacation or Mt Kilimanjaro.The entire Hekima team provided a well-coordinated and wonderful safari that exceeded our (admittedly high) expectations, at a competitive price.Ahsante Sana.
