Well organized and extremely professional.
We enjoyed a 3 generation family tour with Soul of Tanzania - 7 days February, 2026. Our guide, Wilson is the absolute best!
The tour was extremely well organized. All transfers, accommodations and communication were managed expertly.
Every day on safari with Wilson was incredible. His driving skills are fantastic and his knowledge of the wildlife, geography, and culture enriched our vacation in so many ways. I especially appreciate his interest and rapport with our 9 year old grandson. Thank you!

A tour full of breakdowns !
We have the horrible experience with this tour company on our 3 days safari tour .
The car is constantly broken down at least 7 time during the whole trip.
The first day morning we are 2 hours and 15 mins late for departure.After we stop for lunch ,the batteries died again.Basically the first day we didn’t do any game drive and just rush to the campsite.
The the second day morning the car died again.Other people at the campsite come and help to push the car and half hour later we were able to start the game drive.in the afternoon the driver constantly jump out of the car in the middle of the national park to open the trunk to check the car.After 1 hour the left side stirring of the car fell out and we continued driving to the campsite very slowly.
The third day morning the driver need to call the machinery to come and fix the car.it took 2 hour and 15 mins.Stoped for lunch at the crater ,the car broke again.On afternoon,we realized the wiper of the car is not working properly when it’s raining outside and we were driving down on a big hills.
We ended up went to the tourism police station.The owner of the tour company kept lying in our face and claimed we have seen all the animals so we should be grateful for that.This company have very bad reputation on every safari social platform.Avoid at all time!
We haved all the documents(photos and videos)to report to the MINISTRY OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND TOURISM also the police said they will write to ministers to revocation his TALA！

Perfeeeect!
On this journey, I got engaged. My now fiancée secretly planned everything from Mexico together with Marcelina so that the proposal would happen at Serval Wildlife.
And it was beyond perfect.
We spent 7 days on safari.
We saw the Big Five, and every single sighting felt unreal. All of it was possible because of Thomas, our incredible driver and now dear friend. He didn’t just drive us — he guided us, protected us, protected and truly cared for us. He made sure we saw our favorite animals, especially the lion cubs, knowing how much they meant to us.
We watched elephants walking freely, giraffes crossing gracefully in front of our jeep, zebras painting the landscape, buffalo herds disappearing into the horizon, and leopards resting in trees like something out of a documentary. And at night, we heard hyenas surrounding our tent — a sound that was both wild and magical, a reminder that we were guests in nature’s home.
And then… the Great Migration.
We witnessed the river crossing — something so difficult to see, something people wait hours and days for. Like watching National Geographic in real life, except we were there.It was one of the most powerful and emotional things I have ever seen.
Thomas told us something that will stay with me forever: “If you are patient, nature will give back to you.” And it is soooo true.
The accommodations were beautiful and comfortable, the safari lunches were perfect, every detail thoughtfully prepared. But what truly made everything extraordinary was the heart behind it all. Marcelina made sure nothing was missing. She was always present, always attentive, always one step ahead — making sure this once-in-a-lifetime moment. She didn’t just plan a trip. She helped create one of the most important moments of our lives.
This wasn’t just about seeing animals, It was about love — for nature, for life, and for each other.
I 100% recommend Meijo to anyone who wants more than a vacation. If you want an unforgettable, worry-free, deeply magical experience — this is it.
Marcelina and Thomas, thank you for making the trip of my dreams come true. Thank you for protecting us, guiding us, celebrating with us, and becoming part of our love story forever.

Lekobe Adventures: Heart-led experts who found us the Big 5 and treated us like family.
A Dream Safari & Island Escape – The Ultimate Trip with My Best Friend!
My best friend and I just returned from a trip with Lekobe Adventures Safaris, and we are still smiling! From start to finish, the level of care and personal attention we received was beyond anything we expected.
A massive thank you to Jessica, who was the heart of our trip’s organization. She was even there waiting for us at the airport when we returned from our safari! Her efficiency is incredible—when we realized our initial hotel wasn’t right for us, she managed to relocate us to the Royal Beach Resort within a single hour. We loved it so much that we stayed there both before and after our safari. A special shout-out to Sifa at reception for her warm welcome and Grace at the bar for making our evenings so bright!
The safari itself was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our guide, Philipe, was a fantastic driver and expert who made every game drive exciting—we were thrilled to successfully spot all of the Big 5!
One of the absolute highlights was the Serengeti Balloon Safari organized by Jessica through Nyssan Balloon Safaris floating over the plains at sunrise was pure magic.
We felt like royalty at the Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge. The lodge itself is breathtaking, with world-class amenities and views that take your breath away, but it is the staff who truly treat you like family. Augustus took such wonderful, personal care of us, and the F&B Director, Charles, ensured every meal was a delight. We loved that the Chef personally came to our table during meals to ensure we were happy, and we were touched when a waiter hand-picked a fresh grapefruit for our breakfast!
The food was incredible, with all vegetables coming fresh from the lodge's own garden. Every day was filled with warm greetings from the staff and Masai women, and we loved the evening golf car rides back to our room. The highlight was our final night—they surprised us with a heartfelt farewell party and a cake, where the entire staff joined in to sing and dance for us. It was a truly moving experience.
Finally, our time on Zanzibar was made so easy by Suleiman. He didn't just drive us; he accompanied us during all our activities, making sure we had everything we needed.
If you want a trip where you are treated like family and every detail is handled with heart, book with Jessica and her team. We had the time of our lives!
Pros:
Jessica’s lightning-fast organization, always available and personal airport greeting.
Philipe’s expertise in the National Parks. The Big 5! Spotted all of them thanks to Philipe’s expert eyes.
Unforgettable Balloon Safari with Nyssan in the Serengeti.
Exceptional hospitality from Augustus and Charles at Kilimamoja Lodge.
The wonderful team at Royal Beach Resort, especially Sifa and Gloria.
Suleiman’s constant support and companionship on Zanzibar.

Incredible!
Our safari in the Masai Mara was unforgettable thanks to our exceptional guide, Rono. His knowledge of wildlife and tracking skills led us to incredible sightings — including four of the Big Five — all while ensuring our safety and comfort.
He positioned the vehicle perfectly for photos, never rushed the experience, and shared meaningful insights about the ecosystem and local culture. Professional, attentive, and respectful of the land, he made the trip truly extraordinary. I highly recommend Rono and Morning Star to anyone visiting the Mara.

Incredible experience!
We had the most incredible safari in Tanzania with Benson Safaris, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
From the very beginning, they tailored the entire trip exactly to what we wanted. They were always available to answer our questions before and during the trip, constantly checking in and making sure everything was perfect. That level of care and attention made us feel completely at ease.
Exploring the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, we saw more animals than we could have ever imagined, lions, elephants, giraffes, and so much more. Our guide, Liberatus, was truly fantastic, so knowledgeable, and passionate. He made every game drive exciting and shared incredible insights about the wildlife and surroundings.
We especially loved that Benson is locally owned. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and we can’t recommend them highly enough.

A reliable and professional tour operator that delivered exactly what was promised
Telly Africa Safari was an excellent tour operator and handled all the practical arrangements flawlessly — from flights and transfers to accommodation and the safari itself. It was a full-service package that we can warmly recommend.
Catherine was very easy to reach and responded to all the questions we had.
The highlight of the safari was our outstanding driver and guide, Uno, who approached his work with incredible passion and energy. His mission was to ensure we saw all the magnificent animals and truly made the most of the entire safari experience.

Travel with Heart, Integrity, and Excellence
We chose Ethiopia for its astonishing diversity — ancient history, living anthropology, and spectacular natural beauty. Knowing how vast and complex the country is, we decided — for the first time ever — to entrust our trip to a local tour agency. After comparing several proposals, Ethio Top Land Tours clearly stood out. After 21 incredible days of travel, including seven domestic flights, we can say without hesitation: it was one of the best travel decisions we have ever made.
Outstanding Flexibility & Seamless Organization
Travel reality often differs from what you see in guidebooks — and that’s part of the adventure. What truly impressed us was the agency’s remarkable flexibility. We were able to adjust our itinerary along the way — sometimes from one day to the next — based on our interests or simply how we felt. Each time, accommodations were smoothly rebooked and flights adjusted without stress, complications, or extra charges. Even when domestic flight schedules changed, everything was handled immediately and professionally. We felt completely supported at all times.
An Exceptional Guide & The Best Driver We Could Imagine
Our guide, Desala, was extraordinary. His encyclopedic knowledge of Ethiopia’s history, cultures, religions, and regional differences was simply breathtaking. Yet beyond his expertise, what touched us most was his warmth and humanity. He interacted with curious locals with such natural ease — a greeting here, a short chat there, sometimes even a hug — creating moments that felt authentic and deeply human.
And then there was Abel — our phenomenal driver. Traveling Ethiopia means navigating unpredictable roads and challenging conditions. Abel was the definition of professionalism: calm, focused, always 100% attentive. We felt safe every single second. And whenever we spontaneously called out, “Stop — I want this photo!” he responded with patience and a smile. His dedication went above and beyond — even spending an entire night waiting in line for fuel to ensure our journey continued without disruption.
Absolute Trust & Reliability
We paid the full amount upon arrival in Addis Ababa — an act of complete trust that was fully honored. Every agreement was respected. All adjustments remained within the original budget. Even nationwide fuel shortages had zero impact on our itinerary. That level of reliability is priceless.
Genuine, Heartfelt Hospitality
From the warm airport welcome and thoughtful surprises to the beautiful welcome dinner and touching farewell evening, we felt truly cared for — not as clients, but as guests and friends.
This is more than a tour agency. It is a team with heart, integrity, and exceptional professionalism. They don’t just organize trips — they create life-changing experiences.
We left Ethiopia with memories deeply engraved in our hearts — and we are already dreaming of returning.
