Thorough, Fantastic and Knowledgable, we would highly recommend
We had an excellent experience with Telly Africa safaris. From the first point of contact, the trip organiser Catherine was extremely helpful, sending over a detailed itinerary so we knew exactly what to expect on the tour. She also provided a helpful checklist of everything we needed to organise on our side in order to be best equipped.
We chose the 4 day-3 night luxury safari and as part of this all our travel from Zanzibar to mainland Tanzania (and back) was arranged for us which made our life a lot easier. We were on our honeymoon, and Catherine made sure to let the accommodations know this, who gave us some extra surprises during our stays.
The accommodations themselves were great, especially the signature Serengeti lodge (where you are immersed in the widlife) and the Oldeani mountain lodge (which is the definition of luxury).
And then onto our game driver, Omary. He was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and funny, making our experience extremely comfortable. He paid attention to all the small details, and even stopped at a road side shop to get my wife some sugar cane as she said it was her favourite snack.
With his expertise, we managed to capture 4 of the big 5 within the first 24 hours and all of the big 5 by the end of our trip. He was willing to take the extra risk to get us to the best viewpoints, and helped us to understand a lot more about the animals’ habits and characteristics. We would definitely recommend a trip with him if possible, and we would love to go with Telly Africa safaris again sometime in the future

Amazing operator, very responsive and friendly with competitive price, 100% recommended!
My friends and I had a fantastic trip in Tanzania with Serengeti Smile. The communication was so smooth and effective. Erick is a very responsive sales contact and our tour guide/driver Baraka was amazing!!! He took very good care of us during the whole safari trip, always found the best spot to watch the animals. We would highly recommend traveling with Serengeti Smile!

Excellent!
We recently had the incredible opportunity to embark on an unforgettable safari adventure in Kenya and Tanzania, expertly organized by Dennis. I can't recommend him highly enough. His patience and helpfulness made the planning process seamless, and his prompt responses ensured that our itinerary was finalized without a hitch.
What truly elevated our experience were our exceptional guides, Willie in Kenya and Jackson in Tanzania. Both are incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, parks, and their countries, bringing a wealth of expertise to each game drive. They went above and beyond to help us spot all the animals we were eager to see, especially since this was our first safari experience. I wholeheartedly recommend requesting Willie and Jackson as your guides for an unforgettable journey!

unforgettable
After careful selection, we chose Serengeti Smile because Jeremiah was very enthusiastic and attentive, answering many of our questions. Once we started the safari, our guide Justin was very experienced and helped us find animals. He was also very warm-hearted, and with his company, we had a great experience.

Once in a lifetime experience with Msangai Safaris!
This was a once in a lifetime experience! We had a private 4-day-safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire and enjoyed every minute of it.
Thanks to our guide Regan, we always felt very safe and informed.
We can definitely recommend Msangai Safaris and would like to thank the whole team for making our time unforgettable.

Big Cats Safaris are amazing!
This is the most breathtaking experience me and my wife has had, and that is thanks to our guide Endeni and Aftica Big Cats Safari. We felt welcome from the moment we arrived in Tanzania, and each and everyone from Big Cats deserves the best, Naomi, Emmanuel, Rhingo, and Endeni!
Endeni was our guide and was so knowledgable and kind. I can gurantee he is the first 7 star guide in the world.
I cannot recommend Big Cats Safati enough. They have given me and my wife a memory for life.

A once in a lifetime adventure!!!! AMAZING !!!!!!
My family trip (2 adults and 1 child-6years old) with Sekanka can only be described as fabulous!!!! Everything from the first contact with Anna went very smooth! She is very competent and communication was excellent, fast and full reply to all my questions. We have trusted her from the beginning.
We travelled from Makgadikgadi Pans, through the Okavango delta (Moremi, Xakanaxa, Khwai) and then Chobe (Savuti and Riverfront), to end up at Victoria Falls. I must admit that the best part of this trip was the mobile camping safari from Maun to Savuti... the tent was a big one, that could fit 3 single beds, with a ensuite camping toilet and bucket shower, everything comfortable and just right! The food prepared by Name was more than excellent. She prepared everything on the fire, even muffins & bread almost everyday !!! Super good!!!! The rest of the team was always working hard to make sure we had a great experience... Thank you MP and Lo (i am sorry for the mispelling of your names). And our guide/driver Macha was not only a brave driver, but very expert of the wildlife. He took us on so many animals sighting, including lions (many), and cubs (hyena and lions)... the wildlife here is incredible!!! I am a very demanding photographer and Macha was always very patient with my request and he always drove the extra mile to make me happy!! thank you.
We had a car breakdown in Savuti, which was a bit sad, because we could not do the sunset game drive in Savuti (that I really looked forward to do). But kind of things happen in the bush and mostly in this harsh environment, and we were well aware of this aspect before booking this kind of trip. Obviously was no one's fault... there is no one to blame, on the contrary I have to congratulate the entire Sekanka team, that send us (in the middle of nowhere) another overland vehicle, and without wasting time we were back on our journey with no delay!!! I was amazed and surprise by the responsiveness of the team to solve the issue !!! Great job Sekanka!!!!
If I only have to find a minor drawback, is the lodge in Chobe... don’t get me wrong, it’s a very beautiful location, but I have found it very disorganized, and the pool area looked abandoned. Regarding the Chobe boat safari/cruise, I would have expect a private experience (small boat, like the one in Moremi), rather than big tourist boat... We liked it, but as already explained to Anna and Tepo, if i book a private tour i want to keep it private till the end as much as possible! Thank you Anna and Tepo to understand our needs.
Victoria Falls and the lodge we stayed in were the cherry on the cake!!! The falls (at sunrise) were breathtaking, the sunset cruise lovely, and the Pamarah Lodge a little gem!!!
To end this long review, I once again want to thanks the Sekanka team for having my family living a once in a lifetime adventure… a DREAM CAME TRUE! i am missing those moments, out in the wild, so much!!
I would highly recommend SEKANKA, and I would travel with them anytime again!
