3 unforgettable days
We did 3 days in Ruaha National Park in early October and it was an unforgettable experience! We have seen many animals, for example the lion, the leopard, the elephant, the eagle, the buffalo, the hippo, the python, the antelope and many others!
Both breakfast, lunch and dinner included in the price are excellent and substantial.
Michael picked us up at our facility in Iringa and accompanied us throughout the tour. He is a very prepared guy, passionate about his work, nice, reliable, punctual, available and knows very well the habits and behaviors of animals ... I absolutely recommend him !!!
I will come back and will definitely contact you and Michael! Thank you!

Worth Every Dollar
Having gone to a safari before, the safari offered by Ongeri Expeditions was way different and the luxury level cannot be unmatched! We enjoyed all the four destinations we went to; Amboseli - we saw the big elephants, Samburu - we were lucky to spot all the special five, Ol Pejeta - This conservancy was special to us, we saw the last two northern white rhinos and that was amazing and finally we finished with Masai Mara - were we saw the big five and had breakfast with the lions !
My family and I want to thank Abner for organizing such a great safari! All went well and we really appreciate. I recommend Abner and the team at Ongeri Expeditions if you’re looking for a well planned luxury safari.

Unprofessional
We also had a very bad experience with this tour operator, and are now fighting with the Tanzanian Police to get our money back.
We booked a 3 day safari for our honeymoon for beginning of October, and already had to pay the full amount in June. In September when it came to arranging the pick up, Capture Tanzania started not to answer and not picking up the phone any more, and if someone answered then we just received vague answers from one of the owners and that they will "check". We sent a lot of long e-mails and called them many many times, with no response. We also had to find out ourselves, that no bookings were done for us (neither accommodation nor flights). The two alarming reviews on SafariBookings.com from September unfortunately came too late for us as warning.
The Tourism Police Unit in Arusha has said they are working to track down Capture Tanzania. In our opinion we have been scammed by Capture Tanzania.
Our clear advice, don't pay them any money. Good luck.

Unforgettable experience
We had the most unforgettable experience with Hekima safaris. It was a group of friends trip and we decided to go to Tanzania for a 5 day safari. It felt like the most authentic memorable experience from the moment we arrived in Arusha and met with Hekima team.
They took care of us as if we had known one another a few decades ago! I mean seriously, if you want to experience an incredible safari adventure, do no go anywhere else!
Our guides were very knowledgeable and we learned so much from them. Thank you Hekima safari for going above and beyond to make our trip an excellent experience, and we've made a friend in Africa.

Poor service
I booked an 8 day Kenya/Tanzania safari for my 2 children and I. Purity was amazing to work with prior to leaving my home country. She was very responsive and even went to the embassy on my behalf when I was having problems with my visa. However, once on the safari things started to go wrong. We were picked up from Nairobi and took the long drive to Masai Mara, we did an evening game drive that first day and was brought to our tent camp for the night. Camp was very basic, only had working electricity in the main cafeteria area, so had only a few hours to charge devices. The 2nd day was a full day game drive and visit to Masai village which was wonderful. Day 3 (which was my birthday) is where the itinerary changed. We were supposed to visit Lake Nakuru for a safari boat tour, but that was canceled, there were no other plans for the day besides to drive back to Nairobi and go to a hotel, the next day the plans were to drive from Nairobi to Tanzania and check into hotel upon arrival. That was 2 days back to back filled with just driving. That was not fair to my kids or myself as that was not in the itenerary and I did not pay for 2 days of driving. I emailed purity as I was unsure of what to do and she apologized for the inconvenience. I decided to cancel and book with a different company as I really did not want to spend the entire next day driving. I asked to be dropped off at the airport and took a flight to Tanzania and was picked up from another tour company and had an exceptional experience. Essentially I paid more for the 3 days I was with this company than the 5 days with the second one. The food provided was very subpar, for lunch having boxed sandwiches with cucumber and tomato. Our tour guide was nice however not very helpful with telling us about the things we were seeing. It was a very frustrating experience to say the least, but I am glad it ended on a more positive note with a different company. Please do your research prior to booking. Research the lodges, the amount of driving that will be done and if possible request a specific tour guide. I was hoping for a very positive learning experience for my kids and that was not the case. I also requested a hot air balloon ride over the Masai Mara and was told that would be available at an extra cost and was not available to us while there.

Unscrupulous
We made a large down payment to the owner but we suspect that he never transferred it to his partner in Tanzania because they did not render us any service. Capture Tanzania Adventure did not provide a refund and we lost our money. As a result, it is our opinion that the owner does not care about the disappointment and the loss of family money.

Very responsible tour operator, my safari was well planned.
The safari was made possible by good arrangement and reliability of Arisi Safaris, very responsible team from the airport to my hotel was very smooth and comfortable. I was never worried around them in my entire travel. Arisi team was very responsible and reliable, my expectations and value for money was mate. I will use them again when I travel to Tanzania and also I recommend them to everyone planning to visit Tanzania and East Africa in general.

Very knowlegable ….
Hi, I’m writing to review on our Tarangire trip that we went with Abushir on Saturday & returned on Sunday…
Me & my fiancée thoroughly enjoyed the trip from the get go, a very professional & friendly guide we got to see three on the big 5 so that’s definitely a win for me personally.
Thank you for the best service.
Sincerely Jeremiah!

Kombo and his team are amazing
Being an amputee I needed to book with a company who I felt confident they would support me when needed. Kombo at Safari bookings is not only the most kindest, happy and fun person he is super professional and knows the ‘ins and outs’ of trekking in Tanzania. Kombo knows everything you’d need to know allowing you to feel safe at all times whist having the best time ever.
