More magical than I could ever have wished for
I honestly don't even know where to start with this review. I had a truly once in a lifetime experience during my 9 day adventure with Serengeti Clarity. Kelvin (our guide) was awesome - so knowledgable, so passionate, so entertaining (and had the best safari outfits you've seen). From the second we met Kelvin at the airport and saw the Jeep we'd be in, stocked with beers, water, snacks, safari sunhats, animal books and more to the moment he dropped us off to go home, we had the best time. We journeyed from Lake Manyara, to Tarangire, to Ngorongoro, to Serengeti - and every day brought something else that blew our minds. We were convinced each day that the next couldn't get better, and it always did! Kelvin was so so amazing at knowing where to find animals, seeing them extremely close up, often first to find things so we could enjoy the nature without other people there (which is particularly impressive). He organised delicious hot lunches for us every day and we loved sitting and chatting away with him getting to know all about Tanzania, the national parks and his own background. In terms of our animal leadership board - we averaged about 10 lions a day, 3 cheetahs a day, a leopard a day, more elephants and giraffes than you can count and incredibly, saw 3 of the incredibly rare black rhinos in Ngoro.
Frank was a truly wonderful organiser - we didn't have anything to worry about and he was so incredibly flexible when helping us organise our dream trip. He took into account everything we asked for and more - the lodges he organised for us, the food, everything was spectacular. He even did us a special painting to take home with us which we proudly have up on our wall! He also organised a really fun birthday event in the Serengeti which made it even more special.
I couldn't recommend Serengeti Clarity and Kelvin enough - we are already planning our next trip and we will 100% be using these guys!

Exceptional tour operator
Review for a 9-Day Safari in Uganda with "Hooves of Africa" (Instagram: @hoovesofafrica_photosafaris) in December 2024
I had the immense pleasure of experiencing a 9-day safari in Uganda with the tour operator "Hooves of Africa" in December 2024, and I can confidently say it was one of the best trips of my and my husbands life.
From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. The team at Hooves of Africa, led by the incredibly dedicated and warm-hearted owner Dickson, took exceptional care of us. Dickson made sure we felt comfortable and well-supported at all times. His passion for the nature and wildlife of Uganda was palpable and only enriched our experience.
Our safari guide, Veronica Naka (Instagram: @veronica_naka), was an extraordinary personality. Her extensive knowledge of Uganda's flora and fauna, her enthusiasm, and her friendliness made each day an unforgettable experience. With her guidance, we enjoyed breathtaking encounters with chimpanzees, gorillas, and the rare golden monkeys as well as the big five and an incredible amount of wonderful birds. The chimpanzee tracking was magical, and the gorilla tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park was an absolute highlight—it was a dream to be so close to these majestic creatures.
Visits to the Rhino Sanctuary and Murchison Falls were also unforgettable. The Murchison Falls are a true natural spectacle, and the wildlife viewing in the adjacent national park was simply spectacular. The Queen Elizabeth National Park also offered us impressive wildlife in an astonishing setting.
The entire trip was not just a safari in the traditional sense but a deep dive into the natural beauty and cultural diversity of Uganda. The accommodations were excellently chosen, and the meals were consistently delicious.
I can wholeheartedly recommend "Hooves of Africa" and the team, especially Dickson and Veronica. They made our safari experience truly special, and I am already looking forward to returning one day to explore the wonderful nature of Uganda again. If you are planning an unforgettable safari in Uganda, then you are in the right hands with "Hooves of Africa"!

The best in Tanzania
I have used Alex’s services twice in Tanzania for a Kilimanjaro climb and a multi day safari. Not only did he save my husband’s life the first time due to altitude sickness by making the right call, but he led me to two successful summits bids through two different routes. His experience is unparalleled as a guide, a climber, and a chosen leader of the Kilimanjaro Climbers Association, an unpaid role picked by your peers.
I dont think I would do Africa or Tanzania any other way. If you want to be in safe hands and have the best experience in the country, this will be your best choice!

We shared some unforgettable moments with Allen Tanzania Safaris
We wanted a personalized private safari with travel between the different parks by bush taxi plane to limit the tiring transfers between the different parks.
I can only recommend this solution, which allows you to make the most of the safari.
We selected Allen out of 7 other agencies because of the quality of their advice and their ability to listen.
Allen remained very flexible regarding the adaptations we wanted to make to the trip, and responded to all our requests.
We did a 7-day safari.
Departure from Arusha by plane to Kuro in Tarangire. Safaris in the Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro reserves. Then transfer by plane to Seronera in the center of the Serengeti. We continued with a 3-day safari in the north and center of the Serengeti.
We were lucky enough to be able to admire some extraordinary wildlife in vast of varied landscapes.
We saw the big five as we should, but also all the other animals such as hyenas, hippos, crocodiles, zebras, a multitude of gazelles, an impressive number of elephants, not forgetting the countless birds and rich flora. In the north of the Serengeti, we were very lucky to come across the great wildebeest migration returning from Kenia at this time of year.
Perfect time of year to visit the Serengeti, with pleasant temperatures and cool nights. Despite the period of light rain, we only had 10 minutes of rain during the whole safari.
A big thank you to our two guides, Emanuel and Armani, who shared the task of accompanying us throughout our safari in their recent jeeps, which were put through their paces on the roads and tracks of the Serengeti (massage guaranteed). They shared their passion with us.
We have absolutely no regrets about our choice and can only recommend Allen Safaris.

Goodluck is top notch. Customer service and satisfaction is unparalleled.
Our experience with Habitat Adventures Travel was fantastic. Each day included the best of Tanzania: People, accommodations, location, food, and cultural activity. Goodluck and team were exceptional. The interaction provided for an unforgettable trip. The close encounters with all the big cats, large and small African animals, reptiles plus exotic birds make this a 5-star adventure of a lifetime.

You get exactly what you want. Worth it.
The experience was amazing, everything was perfect and well-organised since our arrival in Kenya.
The guide was nice and helped us spot all the big five and see all the animals we'd hoped to see and more.
I strongly recommend this experience and this operator!

A top-notch tour operator ensuring unforgettable experiences with expert guidance and planning
We recently had an incredible 7-day, 6-night tour in Uganda, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! From gorilla trekking to chimpanzee tracking, exploring Queen Elizabeth National Park, Lake Bunyonyi, and Mburo National Park, every moment was filled with adventure and awe.
One of the highlights of our trip was spotting the famous tree-climbing lions in the Ishasha sector—a unique and thrilling sight. The boat ride was equally mesmerizing, offering us close-up views of many bird species, a massive herd of elephants, countless hippos, and the breathtaking beauty of the surroundings.
A huge part of what made our trip so special was our outstanding guide and driver, Levan. He was always punctual, deeply knowledgeable about Uganda’s wildlife, birds, and culture, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring we had the best experience. Levan’s professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made our journey seamless and unforgettable.
Levan even went above and beyond by helping us shop for souvenirs and other local items, making sure we brought home wonderful mementos of our trip. The accommodations were excellent, even though we chose a mid-luxury package, and every aspect of the tour exceeded our expectations.
We highly recommend this tour agency, and especially Levan, to anyone planning a visit to Uganda. His dedication and support made our entire trip a success, and we can’t thank him enough for making it so memorable!

Very friendly and great communicator
Day trip to Hwange National Park, the whole experience was amazing. Was an early start from Victoria Falls to Hwange, our driver was fantastic and kept us safe on the roads. That was an experience as sections of the road had deep pot holes, and sections were left unfinished. Shame really as the journey took 3 hours when should really be around 2.
The safari was amazing, it was a truly amazing experience and felt like being in the heart of where wild animals live.
If you're looking for a truly African safari I would highly recommend Hwange.
