Tribute to Imani, the best tour guide in Tanzania
I am very glad to have chosen Imani Excursions among all the travel agencies. They gave me the most concise and clear itinerary plan，and the most reasonable hotel quote，the fastest reply response, and the best experience within your budget. It’s really not easy to meet an agency which can understand you while traveling, but Imani Excursions did it.
Safari guides almost determine most of the experience of the trip. So i was very happy when I knew that Imani would be our tour guide, cause I had seen a lot of praise for him on the website, but the reality is far better than the reviews I saw. I must praise him as a gentleman, a family member, a teacher and a warm companion. He took the best care of us during the safari trip.
Imani has been in this industry for more than 16 years, his eyesight is much better than our telescope, he can always find out where the animals are before we do, even if the animal is far away. He is also very knowledgeable and knows about animals, roadside plants, and various birds, and the society and culture of Tanzania. Every question you ask, he has the answer.
He is also a highly skilled and intelligent driver, never let us get stuck in the mud, drive safely and quickly, and help us discover the best angles for photographing animals. When passing a vehicle stuck in the mud, he would stop to help them after asking for our opinion. You will see many guides along the safari. Compared with others, no matter how tired Imani is, he always full energy, keep smiling.What he talked about most during the trip was “no worries” and “take your time”. Imani is very flexible, he always has a good way to help us solve any temporary itineraries or problems we encounter.
Imani speaks both English and French very well, even our English is not very good, he always tries to explain it to us in different ways so that we finally understand. Thanks again for the wonderful time he brought us, I hope we can chat more with him next time when we meet. And I also want to thank another tour guide, Joshua, he is like our big brother, next time when we go to climb Kilimanjaro, I will look for him.
If you are wondering which agency to choose to start your safari trip, I must say it's Imani Excursions. I still have a lot of words of praise to say, but other people’s comments are never as good as your own personal experience.

Excellent team provide service beyond expectations
Reaching the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro was undoubtedly one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Standing at the "Roof of Africa" on the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, the Year of the Snake, made this achievement even more special and symbolic. It was not just a physical triumph but also a spiritual journey that I will cherish forever.
The climb itself was challenging, as expected, but what made it truly remarkable was the exceptional support and guidance provided by Sam, Justin and his crew. From the very beginning, their professionalism, dedication, and warmth stood out. Sam and Justin was not only highly knowledgeable about the terrain and the challenges we would face but also deeply committed to ensuring everyone's safety and well-being. His calm demeanor and encouraging words "think positive, non stop to the top,…" kept us motivated, especially during the toughest stretches of the ascent.
The team as a whole was outstanding. They were always attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed, from proper equipment to nutritious meals that kept our energy levels up. Their enthusiasm and positive attitude were infectious, turning what could have been a grueling trek into an enjoyable and uplifting adventure. They celebrated every small milestone with us, making the journey feel like a shared victory.
I cannot recommend this experience enough, and much of its success is owed to Sam and his team. Their reliability, expertise, and genuine care made all the difference. If you're considering climbing Kilimanjaro, do it with this team—they will not only help you reach the top but also make the journey one of the most memorable adventures of your life.
Our safari in Tanzania was an unforgettable adventure, made truly special by our incredible driver Inno. His dedication to finding wildlife was remarkable—he tirelessly navigated the terrain to ensure we had the best possible sightings. His expertise and passion for the animals and their habitats shone through in his detailed and engaging explanations, which added so much depth to the experience. Thanks to his efforts, we collected four of the "Big Five" but also gained a deeper appreciation for Tanzania's stunning ecosystems. Highly recommend this safari and our amazing driver for an exceptional journey into the wild!

Breathtaking experience!
I just went on an incredible safari tour with Kili Sky and I can’t help but share how amazing the experience was! The guide, Daniel, was amazing: extremely knowledgeable, passionate and always ready to share fascinating information about the animals and the surrounding environment. His in-depth knowledge of the local fauna and his contagious enthusiasm made the tour even more exciting and engaging. Every stop of the safari was a unique experience, and thanks to Daniel I had the opportunity to observe extraordinary creatures up close in a breathtaking natural setting. A special mention also for our driver Issa who was equally amazing! I would highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure!

Our guide Elias was the most competent man with good personality.
To celebrate my 60th birthday, my husband and I decided to visit Tanzania. Over nine days, we went trekking on Mount Kilimanjaro and enjoyed safari tours. It was a private tour, and African Big Cat Safaris made our long-awaited trip perfect from planning to completion.
As an experienced traveler, I can confidently say your company is the best travel agency I have ever worked with. Thank you so much for making my special birthday even more memorable.

Thanks to him we have collected fantastic memories!
He also has a safe and careful guide.
Accommodation and food above our expectations. Everything was perfect

Very good
- Good organized tour
- Friendly driver (Edward)
- First tent camp should be changed, nice people there, also food was good, but the the tent is awful.
- Maybe they could change the car, it was like a van. A real offroad car like Jeep would be a little bit more comfteble.

Another memorable experience with Jocky Tours.
Jocky tours and once again we had a fantastic time. We felt looked after from the moment we were picked up from the airport in Nairobi to when we were dropped off back at our hotel in Nairobi after our safari. The short stop over en route between Nairobi and Amboseli were also welcome.
Our friendly guide/driver Simat was brilliant. He was knowledgeable and had an endearing blend of enthusiasm and professionalism throughout. Wearing his Masai dress a unique bonus. Simat was super keen that we saw all that we had hoped to, and more besides.
Our three days in Amboseli (four full drives) took in many different areas of the park and we saw numerous Elephants, Water Buffalo and Hippopotamuses, and a couple of cheaters. Also giraffes, zebras and all manner of birds including flamingos, pelicans, and both Tawny and Fish Eagles, not forgetting the Maribou Storks (four of which were nesting just outside our camp.
Our accommodation at Manjaro Camp was superb, located less than 10 mins from the park gate, with sightings of elephants and giraffe en route. It was very comfortable, clean, and with good food and excellent staff led by Peter the camp manager. We felt well looked after. Even the local celebrity Tusker elephant ‘Craig’ was at the Manjaro Camp gate to say his goodbyes!
Simat gave us a great safari :).

Excellence in responsiveness, planning and execution!
Gametrackers were the perfect tour operator with our trip which included both business and tourism destinations. In the planning process, the tour operator was highly responsive to all our questions and requests in order to compile a custom made trip for us. The driver was always punctual (if not early), transported us safely (van was equipped with a speed governor) and accompanied our drives with interesting and relevant information about the scenery and history of the places we visited! We always had access to water and the tour van was diligently cleaned by our driver every night in time for a fresh start each day.
I would recommend Gametrackers to all travellers with an interest in seeing Kenya!

Great organization and friendly staff!
Words cannot describe how extraordinary and unique our trip was. We would like to thank the competent and always friendly team at “Gondwana Tours and Safaris” for these unforgettable moments! We got our money's worth with natural spectacles, animals and luxurious accommodations and can only recommend this trip!
