4 weeks unforgettable experiences.
We would like to thank you again for the good planning of our four-week trip through Uganda. The selection of individual stations and accommodations was in line with our expectations.
We have been able to enjoy the „pearl of Africa“ to the fullest.
A real lucky grip was our female guide Donah. Thanks to her good contacts and her open nature, she has made Africa very inappropriate for us. Thanks to her exellent specialist knowledge, we had a deep insight into the flora, fauna and african culture. She has brought us ugandien lifestil with her lovely people.
During this long journey together, we were perfectly supervised by her. We enjoy our trip in total.
We will certainly visit Uganda again through this great experience.
We came as guests and went as friends.

The drivers are incredibly knowledgeable and felt like part of our family by the end of the trip!
Harrison and Charles were wonderful tour guides. They are both safe drivers who allowed us to snap photos at our leisure while ensuring that we saw the best that Masai Mara had to offer. Both of them are very knowledgeable and they shared their vast amount of intel throughout the trip. The van was comfortable to ride in. Both drivers were prompt in their timing and kept our large group to a schedule to allow us to see as much as possible while in the Mara and at Hells Gate. We will definitely be booking with African Hagyko again for our next safari and highly recommend it to anyone traveling in Kenya!

Undescribable experience
We (my cousin and me) went on a 4 day private trip to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and it was absolutely stunning! Together with our driver (and guide) and cook, we went on an unforgettable adventure, both lodge and tented camp (at night you hear the hyenas close to the camping site). Everything was well organised and taken care of by Hekima House and Safaris and I would definitely recommend staying and booking a safari via Hekima! Thanks again guys.

Nice experience!
Good hotel recommendations in Namibia in particular the Shipwreck lodge where we extended for an additional two days as we just couldn’t have enough.

Great experience
Safarihub planned an amazing trip start to finish. We booked the seven-day Tanzania highlights package with them and everything has been amazing. We even made new friends during the trip. I would recommend safarihub to everyone!

The Tanzania part of the trip was a disaster
There was no driver at Tanzania border for us. The group before us also had no driver show up. The company would not tell us what was going on, and eventually would not answer any of our our calls. So the communication was horrible. We had to spend the night at a hotel by the border and pay for it ourselves (they say they will reimburse us). The next morning, they said a driver would be ready by 10am, but we sat around outside the hotel until 4pm with no word from the office. They were ignoring every call. We were finally met by a taxi driver who transferred us to another driver in Arusha and we had to drive at night to reach the hotel at Lake Manyara at 9:30 pm. As I write this, we are sitting at gate to Manyara Park where we have been waiting for nearly 2 hours, because Kenya Walking Survivors has not transferred money to the Tanzania company so our driver cannot get us in the park. We have no idea how much longer we will wait. They seem to have forgotten to make the necessary arrangements and preparations for our time in Tanzania. Park will not take my credit card because we are in a tour van. So we have lost 2+ days and morning light for photos. We are very unhappy now, and feel that we are wasting a lot of time with only a few days left in Africa.
Our Kenyan driver was very nice, and the Kenya part of the trip went smoothly. Oddly to me though, on the first day we were picked up, driven to office to pay last half of cost, then to get gas, and then to pick up water. It would have been nice if they had gotten gas and water before picking us up. They had half of the money up front. Our lodgings were nice and the Kenya part went well. I was not expecting the very long long drives on bad roads between the parks. It usually took all day (6-9 h) to go from one place to the next. The law does not allow driving tourists in the dark, so we used up lots of daytime to get from park to park. However, that is the nature of traveling in this area.
Our main problem has been the horrible experience getting into Tanzania, and getting into the park this morning has been just as bad. Horrible communication, and nothing has been prepared beforehand.
