So creative in making the safari enjoyable and refreshing while learning new things.
We decided to book our Tanzania trip with Serengeti Series Safari, and we are so glad we did. From start to finish, everything was flawlessly organized.
The journey offered the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. The safari experience was incredible, with unforgettable moments as we encountered a wide range of animals, including all of the "Big Five," set against some of the most stunning landscapes. Our guide, Erick, was exceptional, extremely knowledgeable, and eager to share fascinating facts about wildlife and local culture. Beyond his expertise, Erick's warmth and friendliness made our time with him truly enjoyable.
A standout experience was the excursion to the waterfalls on the final day, an awe-inspiring, serene spot that left us speechless. The day ended with a unique and engaging coffee making workshop, a perfect way to round off our trip.
The logistics of the trip were also seamless, from transportation to accommodations and meals, ensuring we could fully relax and enjoy our vacation.
I highly recommend Serengeti Series Safari to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania.

Reliable and always helpful if we asked anything or needed something.
It was a wonderful experience. Everything went smoothly from the moment we were picked up from the airport to the end at the hotel. We felt comfortable throughout the safari and had a great guide. Price was fair. Highly recommended!

Great day of safari
After a recommendation from the Tourist Information centre, I booked a day of safari for two. An excellent day, with great communication from start to finish. Shaun even allowed me to pay the driver on the day, as I was not happy to use a link! Our friendly driver took us on a scenic route for the safari. Our safari was brilliant, helped that the group was very good at spotting animals in their natural environment. Apart from the lion, we saw the BIG five and much more. Lunch choices were acceptable. We had the chance to stop at the dam on the way back. Big bonus was to see a giraffe by the roadside when we stopped to take a sunset photo! Thank you a wonderful day.

Unforgettable once in a lifetime safari with Kojuu Safaris!
Our trip to Tanzania with Kojuu Safaris was absolutely incredible from start to finish!
The preparation was seamless - Judith, the owner, was amazing. She took care of every little detail, making sure our itinerary was exactly what we had envisioned. She checked in with us regularly and ensured that everything was perfectly arranged.
Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by our guides, Patrick & Abdul. These two are simply outstanding! Their knowledge of Tanzania, its wildlife, and nature is truly remarkable. They made us feel completely at ease throughout the journey, and we couldn’t have asked for better guides.
We stayed in the most beautiful lodges, experienced unforgettable activities (the Serengeti balloon safari was absolutely breathtaking; a true once-in-a-lifetime experience!), and the Ngorongoro Crater left us speechless. We returned home with SD cards full of incredible memories, it truly was a dream come true.
A huge thank you to Judith, Patrick & Abdul, you made this journey unforgettable! We hope to see you again in the future!
Highly recommend Kojuu Safaris to anyone looking for the adventure of a lifetime! If still in doubt - do it! You will regret it otherwise ;)

EcoAfrica Review: An Unforgettable Tanzania Adventure
After returning from what can only be described as the adventure of a lifetime with EcoAfrica Tours, I feel compelled to share my experience with fellow travelers. Our 8-day Lemosho route climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro followed by a 5-day safari in the Serengeti and Ndutu exceeded all expectations and has set the bar impossibly high for future adventures.
Overall Experience
From the very beginning, EcoAfrica demonstrated exceptional professionalism and attention to detail. The booking process was seamless, with Fredrick (the big boss) providing clear and prompt communication via email, text, and phone calls. Every question we had was answered thoroughly, helping us prepare properly for this epic journey. Airport pickup was efficient and stress-free—exactly what you need after a long international flight.
Kilimanjaro Climb
The Kilimanjaro portion of our trip was nothing short of magical. As a locally owned and operated company (with no international middlemen), EcoAfrica delivered an authentic, culturally immersive experience that many other tour operators simply cannot match.
Guides & Staff
Our guides Onesmo, Gewah, and John were extraordinary. While other groups rushed past beautiful scenery, our guides took time to teach us Swahili, identify native plants, and point out wildlife including giraffes, various monkey species, springbok, and countless birds. Their flexibility allowed us to savor each moment and capture photos without feeling rushed, all while keeping our safety as their top priority.
The porters (or "Kilifighters" as they're known) transformed our trek into a familial experience. This incredible team included Alfonz, Magdalena, Jonas, Philipo, Ernest, Okinyi, Peter, Thomas, Richard, Faustine, Emanuel, Gewah, Vincent, David, Musah, Edward, Filamon, John (Walker), and Latifa. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, singing beautiful traditional songs that echoed through the mountain trails.
Special recognition must go to our chef Magician Mathew and his assistant Emmanuel, who created culinary miracles at high altitude. On summit day, we were especially grateful for the support of John Walker and Ernest, whose encouragement helped us reach the top.
What impressed me most was that there was never an "us vs. them" mentality—we truly became one unified group experiencing the mountain together. It's worth noting that EcoAfrica is a proud member of KPAP (Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project), demonstrating their commitment to ethical treatment of their staff.
Environmental Commitment
One of my most meaningful experiences on the mountain came at Shira II Camp, where our guides organized an impromptu trash cleanup initiative. Together with our team, we collected an astounding 18kg of garbage left behind by previous climbers. One of our dedicated porters then carried this waste off the mountain for proper disposal. This wasn't just a photo opportunity but a genuine commitment to preservation that truly showed EcoAfrica living up to their name. Their push for sustainability and respect for this natural wonder sets them apart from many other operators on the mountain.
Cuisine
The food deserves special mention—it was unquestionably the best mountain food I've ever experienced. Magician Mathew lived up to his name, conjuring up generous portions of traditional Tanzanian cuisine, prepared with care at high altitude. Despite bringing plenty of snacks, we rarely needed them as the meals were so plentiful and satisfying. In fact, we only managed to finish all the food served once during the entire trek!
Throughout our climb, we passed many other groups and camps, and I can honestly say I never once wished we were with another company. In fact, hikers from other groups frequently approached us to ask which company we were with, as our joy and camaraderie were evident to all.
Safari Experience
Our 5-day safari in the Serengeti, Ndutu and Ngorongoro was equally impressive. Our guide Josephat was encyclopedic in his knowledge of the ecosystem—from large mammals to birds, insects, and plants. We literally could not stump this man with our endless questions. His expertise took us to places other drivers wouldn't venture, resulting in extraordinary wildlife encounters.
The highlight was witnessing a cheetah kill just three minutes from our accommodation one morning! We successfully spotted the "Big 5" and countless other species - 89 different animals to be exact! The Land Cruiser provided was perfect for our group of five, with a pop-top design that allowed for excellent photography opportunities.
The accommodations arranged by EcoAfrica enhanced our connection to the landscape. The luxurious tents were spacious and comfortable while immersing us in the sounds of the Serengeti—from distant lion roars to zebras grazing just a few hundred feet away. The sunrises and sunsets viewed from our camp were absolutely breathtaking.
Conclusion
If you're considering a Kilimanjaro climb or Tanzanian safari, I cannot recommend EcoAfrica strongly enough. Their locally-owned operation, led by Fredrick, provides cultural authenticity, exceptional guides, ethical treatment of staff, and attention to detail that made this the experience of a lifetime. From the moment we booked until our reluctant departure, EcoAfrica transformed what could have been simply a vacation into a profound, life-changing journey.
Kwa shukrani nyingi (With much gratitude),

It's four-day Tanzania Safari!!
We had a wonderful 4-day trip to Tanzania. The beginning was from Tarangire National Park, where the magnificent sight of elephants and baobabs resting under the huge trees was really impressive. From there, we head to the Serengeti, where the endless meadows and myriad wildlife make us feel breathless.🥰☺️
The most amazing part of the safari was the Ngorongoro Crater. The moment I stepped into the crater in the morning's soft sunshine was like a dream. The management of the tourist organization was commendable—the guide was very knowledgeable and experienced.

Valuable Investment
We opted for the budget package, so we anticipated basic accommodations. However, it seems that the company upgraded us for one night, which was a fantastic experience. Communication was easy and the response time was quick. The Jeep was in excellent condition, and our driver was very skilled. Truly, I would recommend this company.
Excellent Service
Cuan designed our trip around our wishlist, budget & his recommendations.
Communication was super along with his service, value for money and reliability.
No question went unanswered.
The trip far exceeded our expectations and with some unforeseen hiccups, beyond anyone’s control, he had them sorted in no time!
We have no qualms in highly recommending African Abuntu Safaris.
