A professional, friendly operator that delivers truly memorable safari adventures.
I was lucky enough to go on a safari with my bestie, and we chose this local agency. A choice we absolutely do not regret, as the experience exceeded all our expectations. From the very beginning, Martin was professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to creating a trip fully tailored to our wishes.
During our 14 days, everything was perfectly organized. The price was very reasonable, which allowed me to enjoy an exceptional trip without breaking the budget. What I loved most was the attention to detail: comfortable and cozy individual accommodations, perfect for resting after long, emotionally rich days; delicious meals; and a real desire to showcase the local culture. We felt guided while still having complete freedom to fully enjoy each moment.
Steve, our guide, was passionate and caring. He knew the wildlife like the back of his hand and managed everything with impeccable logistics. What I loved most was the incredible closeness to nature, without ever compromising safety or respect for the environment.
Each day offered its share of discoveries and emotions: watching buffalos, rhinos, leopards, lions, giraffes, zebras… crossing paths with a herd of elephants just a few meters away… and ending the day by admiring a breathtaking sunset. Every moment was magical and always safe.
If you dream of an authentic, responsible, well-organized, and affordable safari, I highly recommend this agency. They can turn a simple trip into an unforgettable experience. For me, this journey will remain forever etched in my memory!

The eight weeks could not be better
We prepared the 8 weeks trip to Madagascar together with Matoke based on our wishes (16/9 – 10/11/25). First, we travelled 5 weeks south of Tana, in self drive mode, and afterwards 3 weeks, with driver, in the North. Matoke proposed places to stay which, after checking, were confirmed. Together we fixed the excursions and dynamics. We have travelled all our life in Africa, South America, Nepal, often linked to our work in these regions, but Matoke set the bar with our Madagascar trip so high, that our standards for the future travels will be at the top. We will most probably travel again with Matoke and we are curious if they can still put the bar higher, but if they keep up with Madagascar, they will have again very satisfied clients. In 8 weeks in a country like Madagascar (which is so beautiful and where the people’s smile is like a drug) we did not have the slightest inconvenience, something that we think is statistically impossible, but Matoke made it work. ‘Chapeau’, they say in French.

Professional and easy to interact with.
“I travelled to Tsavo East with my family with the help of Horizon Hunt Safaris. Our tour operator, Kamene, was extremely courteous and responsive from the planning stage to the final day of our trip. We had an unforgettable experience and highly recommend them.”

One in a lifetime experience! “Serengeti shall never die!”
Me and my friends (group of 4) did a 6 day safari with Serengeti smile and would very much recommend it! Our tour guide Simon was super helpful and nice and we were able to see so many animals and have the complete experience!! Exceeded our expectations!! We visited in December and i thought it was the perfect time because everything was getting green and you could spot a lot of animals but it wasn’t crowded at all or filled with tourists…
We dis the midrange budget safari and the accomodations were really good!! Better than the pictures! Our favorite was Tarangire Simba Lodge and the Serengeti Classic view camp!!
Would come back any time for this amazing experience!!

Semadep makes you feel at your home.
I had a great experience with Semadep Tours and Safari. Communication was smooth from the start—quick responses, clear information, and very helpful staff. The team was friendly, welcoming, and truly made me feel taken care of throughout the trip.
The service at the camp was excellent. The tents were clean and comfortable, the meals were tasty, and the atmosphere felt warm and authentic. It’s a simple camp, but well run and offers everything you need for a comfortable stay.
The safari itself was memorable, with knowledgeable guides who worked hard to help us spot wildlife and enjoy the experience. For the price, Semadep offers very good value for money, especially compared to many higher-priced lodges in the area.
Overall, I found Semadep to be reliable, down-to-earth, and committed to giving guests a meaningful, community-based safari experience.

The safari was very well organised.
We booked a seven-day safari from Arusha. The pick-up times were always punctual and the contact was very friendly and reliable. We were travelling in a mixed group and our driver Nestory organised everything perfectly and showed us lots of animals. It was an unforgettable experience. We can highly recommend booking through Goldfinch.

Oscar was very professional, courteous and informative.
We signed on for a four day safari tour through Oscar at Kale Voyage.
The first day we went to Tarangire National Park. They should probably rename it Elephant National Park as we saw so many elephants. It was a pretty great experience.
The next day we traveled to the Serengeti National Park and saw so many animals -lions, giraffes, hippos, elephants - you name it. We camped in the National Park which was something I'll never forget - looking up at a sky full of stars and listening to animals in distance as I was drifting off to sleep.
Our third day started off in the Serengeti for the morning with more animal viewing followed by an afternoon drive to the Nogorgoro National Park. We camped on the rim of Nogorgoro crater. During the night a pack of zebra and other peaceful animals came into camp and we got some of our best photos.
On the fourth day we went into the Nogorgoro crater and in my opinion this was the best park, and I think one of the most amazing places on earth!
We did the safari in a standard Toyota Land Cruiser. The vehicle was spacious, comfortable (even with 6 people) and well maintained.
All of our meals were provided and our cook did a fantastic job of cooking for all of us. We had plenty to eat and everyone was a fan of the food. Shabani, our driver, is a master at spotting animals. He was very knowledgeable and personable.
Looking back on my trip - a safari was never on my bucket list however, I can now say that was huge mistake as this was one of the best experiences of my life!
Thank you so much Oscar and everyone at Kale that made this such a great experience!

Amazing experience with inspired feet safari
I recently completed a 14-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania planned by Inspired Feet. I am very impressed by how well organized everything was. From start to finish, they made the entire experience extremely smooth, easy, and completely stress-free for my friend and me. They were always on top of the details, responded quickly whenever we had questions, and checked in regularly to make sure everything was going exactly as planned.
The safari guides they work with were exceptional! They were super knowledgeable, friendly, and knew so much about wildlife. Thanks to them, we saw an incredible variety of animals and enjoyed unforgettable moments, including a group of zebras wandering into our camp and grazing right outside our tent as we were getting ready for bed.
Inspired Feet gave us a well-organized, unforgettable safari experience. I highly recommend them for anyone planning a trip to Kenya or Tanzania.
