We had an incredible 4-day stay!
5/5

We were picked up by staff at our hostel in Johannesburg to start our 4-day safari. The view during the busride was amazing. Once we got to Sekekama tented lodge, we were able to put all of our stuff in our tent. Thereafter, we went for the sunset safari. This was absolutely amazing! Everything is completely taken care of - food, drinks, transport, guides, etc - which makes it a very peaceful trip. Same counted for the following days!

Staff is also very friendly and helpful. I was not able to go on the regular Kruger safari on day 2, but they arranged for me to do the sunset safari instead (for free). Pricing is also very good, especially compared to similar lodges in this area. Each night they make a typical African dinner, which was amazing!

Overall, very good experience at Sekekama lodge, good pricing, good food, amazing staff and guides!

The most amazing, well-organized safari!
5/5

Found MoAfrika via Google at first and I was amazed by the low price they asked compared to other operators so I checked online reviews like you might be doing right now and I can confirm that all the excellent reviews are real. Our contact person usually responded on the same day and they made sure we knew every detail before we had to pay anything. We were picked up at our hostel in Joburg even and the whole ride to Kruger was arranged. Sekekama Tented Camp was amazing - the tents were luxurious, everything was really clean and the food was really good. The staff is really helpful and helps out with anything. We did the 3-night 4-day glamping, and each day was just perfect (despite the getting up really early). The guides know what to do, take into account which animals you’d so desperately like to spot, and Kruger is a really special place. I’d definitely recommend this place!

Fabolous Safari and a great company!
5/5

Great company! From the quote untill the evaluation at the end of the safari: everything was great. Oscar was very flexible by listening to the reaction on the quote and by changing the order of the parks we visited (due to illness of one of us). Accommodation was absolutely great. Special attention to detail (lunches!). Oscar and Sufian (our driver and guide) stayed very calm in unexpected situations. We had a great 7 day safari. Staying in the Serengeti is absolutely recommended. If you want personal attention and a taylor made safari we highly recommend Kale Voyage.

Reliable precision, excellent connoisseurs of the places and animal warnings
5/5

Parks visited: tarangire, serengeti, ngorongoro. Two days in tendets camp and 2 in camping.
They organized everything by picking us up at the airport in Arusha and taking us back to Kilimanjaro. First choice of the two tents camp and very good organization of the campsite with attached personal chef who cooked for us. Staff very helpful and I attend to our requests. We saw all the animals we could spot. Unique experience absolutely to do!

Fabulous experience
5/5

Great service from first communication with Frank. Nothing was too much trouble when changes were requested in the planning stages. Everyone involved was reliable. The safari was beyond our expectations. Kelvin our guide was amazing, sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm about nature and his culture with us throughout the 7 days we were with him. I doubt a better guide exists. It was a perfect holiday and one none of our family will forget.

AWESOME TRIP!
5/5

Hallmark did a great job planning our private tour trip. They listened to and planned everything we wanted to see and do. Levi responded to our questions quickly.
There was always someone waiting at the airports for us. All tour guides/drivers were awesome. Very knowledgeable and friendly. They went above and beyond to help us find all of the animals we wanted to see. The places we stayed at were really nice and accommodating.
I would highly recommend Hallmark if you are thinking of going to Africa!

Absolutely amazing experience!
5/5

We cannot recommend the Selous Kinga Lodge enough! We booked the 4 day/3 night visit and everything was experience. They arranged everything perfectly, from the cab to the Zanzibar airport, to the flights, transportation, Game drive ... everything!

We were lucky to have been paired with Nixon as a Guide and Mathias as the driver for the majority of the stay and they were incredible! The way they knew the Game Reserve like the back of their hand, and took us off in areas where we didn't see other vehicles, but saw so much wildlife! Mathias was constantly on his radio, knowing where to take us to ensure we saw as much as we could! As we were ending our second game drive he asked me what I wanted to see more of and I said a Male Lion. Within minutes he brought us to a location where we were able to see an entire group of lions, including a male.

We did the hot springs (gorgeous!), boat safari (the island was relaxing and beautiful), the village tour (really resonated with us), and the Maasai Boma.

Additionally, back at the Lodge the accommodations were wonderful. The staff was so accommodating, ensuring the best service we could have imagined. The pool was refreshing, and our little bungalow was inviting and comfortable! What I do need to call out is the food!! Every meal was so delicious and we certainly never went hungry. We looked forward to each meal and seeing what the talented chef prepared. At night, when we would be ready to head from the main lodge to our bungalow, the staff guided us back.

Ezekiel, the manager of the lodge was so kind and ensured every detail was taken care of! It was so relaxing to know they had every last detail accounted for and we could just enjoy the experience!

We look forward to a return visit in the future when our son is old enough to come along and experience this amazing place!

An Incredible Safari Experience With an Exceptional Safari Guide!
5/5

My husband and I travelled to Tanzania in October 2023 as our first big trip as a couple and absolutely loved the safari experience we had with Soul of Tanzania.

Planning our itinerary with Hugo was straightforward and went smoothly at every step. With his help, we were able to select the lodges and options that best suited us.

From the moment we were picked up by our guide, Azaria, we were extremely well taken care of. Azaria was incredibly kind, upbeat, knowledgeable, and an exceptional guide throughout the entire safari. Until the very last moment when we tracked down the previously elusive leopard, Azaria put in a ton of effort to find all of the animals we wanted to see and show us incredible views. We spent pretty much all day every day driving around looking for the best sights. If we return and Azaria is still a guide, we would absolutely love to do another safari together.

We opted to do a 7 day safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti. Each place offered different landscapes, and, for us, was worth spending time at. As a surprise perk, the hot lunches were way better than we expected to eat in the middle of a safari drive. We definitely noticed people with other safari companies comparing our meals to their boxed lunches!

Based on our experience, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Soul of Tanzania.

A Road never traveled twice
5/5

Our Travels with Terrain Tanzania Safaris.
Our 14 days in Africia was sensational and went seamlessly. From the welcoming pickup from the airport to our beautiful hotel. Well after long flight, we landed in Nairobi, Africia and a Terrain Tanzania Safari driver (Oscar 2) picked us up and we travel into the city to our hotel (Boma Hotel) for a relaxing day as we landed early morning. I will discuss the hotel near the end. Next morning our Terrain Tanzania Safari driver (Joy) came early morning. Fascinating road trip out of the city into the country. The first stop was a little tourist place which as first time there we paid a high prices. After this we learned hard to barter and stick to lower pricing.
Moving along across the country to Lake Naivasha we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Dove Nest Lodge, we were greeted with smiles and open arms. We got to our room and then ate lunch. Of a particular note, the food at Dove Nest Lodge was impeccable, fresh and dinner was the same that night. We are sure Joy was having a short nap before taking us to the lake for a boat tour for a few hours on Lake Naivasha. The captain was great and knew his stuff. Things got a little wet as the skies opened on us and the captain had umbrellas and found a spot out of the wind with the boat. We were asked many times if we wanted to head in but, being so excited to be there, we said no as it was not cold. Back to the lodge for a relaxing evening and dinner. The wheels are moving as we are off to Maasai Mara (Kenya) for two days. Joy followed Cheetahs and we got to see a kill. The AA Lodge Mara was very nice and packed lunches and dinners were great.
Then our journey along bumpy, dusty roads we travel across Kenya, to Tanzania border. This is where we met Oscar 1 who will be our Terrain Tanzania Safari guide. Oscar 1 was so friendly and open about discussing his experiences.
The most important thing for us to tell you is we had a fabulous time with Oscar 1 exploring Lake Victoria on a boat, with a nice sleep at the Serenity at the Lake and dinner, then the big one, two days in Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. We were told that Serengeti National Park is bigger than Alberta, Canada. Full of excitement we were off to the Fishing Village and little boat tour. Watching then sell fish was crazy. One woman wanted me for husband. I am sure she would make a good wife as she bought the biggest fish there. Then it was back to the camp, and we saw a loin kill feasting about three miles away from our camp. Funny after seeing loins feasting on a water buffalo 3 miles away, they insisted on escort to tents after darkness and told us to made sure zipper is shut so animals don’t crawl in with you. I slept well as I knew the loins were fed and I am sure that zipper is going to hold them out.
After two days there and many photos we took off to the Ngorongoro Cater where it is amazing to see this mass volcano heart that once was active. Now it is huge grazing, and these animals do not join migration as everything is here for them. There is so much more to share but I would need a few more pages. The hotel Boma Inn BB was comfortable for us and the food outstanding. At the end of the trip we had three nights’ stay to just relax and visit a firehall to give some stuff from fire fighters here my children. The GM of the hotel kept us in an eye for service as a very busy place. The head chef always came out and offered us soup or salad for the buffet. No charge and even opened early to feed us before we went on our last safari in Nairobi.
What made the entire journey so easily enjoyable were the daily itineraries and guides and the overall organization and attention to detail. George the owner of Terrain Tanzania Safaris and his team kept us on budget, fed us well and were fun. If you ever need someone to trust it is George and his team. Thank you George and team.
