Mwanza - Seregeti Three Day Safari
We had the most amazing safari experience with Shayona Safaris throughout our three day safari from Mwanza to the Western and Central Serengeti! Ajay went above and beyond to accommodate our safari throughout exceptional circumstances and our Safari Guide Karim was brilliant! The safari exceeded all expectations and Karim was incredibly friendly and welcoming, as well as putting so much effort into securing us seeing four of the big five in one day! The Seregeti accommodation was also amazing! Would highly recommend Shayona Safaris to anyone looking!

Fantastic Experience!
Mansoor is the best guide ever! His knowledge of the wild life at Akagera made the trip that much more memorable.
He arrived promptly at 5am and we set off. A quick stop for amazing coffee and treats along the way with great conversation was a fantastic start to an incredible trip.
He is an expert in not only driving through the park but also spotting all the animals. I still don’t know how he did it!
I can’t recommend Mansoor enough. He is a genuinely pleasant person and you will have a great trip with him by your side!

Rodger is a very professional safari operator!
Rodger is a fantastic and professional safari driver. We did the Masai Mara 3 Day Group Safari and loved every second of his safari. Very knowledgeable about all the animals and provided some amazing views too. Axis is worth every penny!

Incredible!
Hirwa Safaris has done it again! I first worked with Daphne, General Manager and Travel Designer with Hirwa, three years ago on my first trip to Rwanda, where she curated an amazing gorilla trekking experience for me.
When it was time to explore Akagera, I knew exactly who to go to.
The Hirwa team is fantastic! Prompt communication, a beautiful itinerary tailored to your needs/desires and follow up throughout and at the end of the trip to ensure all needs are met.
Our driver Mansoor promptly arrived at 5am and remained with us for the entire trip. His knowledge of Akagera and all the animals was impressive!
Next up, Nyungwe!
Book with Hirwa, you won’t be disappointed! :)

Amazing
It has only been day one of my tour with MoAfrika but I wanted to give a shoutout to my transfer driver Carson. From the get go he was right on time and greeted me with a huge smile. He ensured I was comfortable (this goes a long way as a female solo traveller). It is around a three and half hour journey from the airport to Sun City but the time flew as Carson filled me in on all of his knowledge on South Africa. It was so lovely to see his passion when talking about his country. Any question I asked he was able to answer. Thank you for everything !

Michelle is so knowledgeable and helpful. Right on point.
Our family did not know where to start when booking our Safari. Michelle was a diamond to find, her knowledge and helpfulness was exactly what we wanted. She gave us great options that suited us so well. She was professional and always answered our questions. Our Safari experience exceeded our expectations and the transfers were seamless. Thank you

Heart of Serengeti ARTS Made Our Trip Unforgettable
Contacting Heart of Serengeti ARTS was much easier compared to other companies we were in touch with while comparing safaris. We decided to stick with them because they were always fast to reply to our emails, answered all our questions with great detail, and of course, their offer was the most appealing.
Geofrey Mpina, the person in charge of our breathtaking experience, picked us up from the airport. Even though our plane was delayed by 4 hours, he was waiting for us with a big smile. We were so impressed with his English and the way he shared stories about Tanzania and its culture. He even took us to try a local dish in Arusha town, and it was absolutely delicious.
During the safari, Kennedy, our guide, was friendly, professional, and knew exactly when to share stories and when to let us enjoy the silence of the parks. His knowledge of animals, birds, and trees made each day exciting and unforgettable. Our chef, Dulla, prepared delicious vegetarian meals every day, and there was always plenty of food, wine, juice, water, and beer to enjoy.
During our 6-day camping safari, Geofrey even arranged for us to stay 2 nights in a lodge, outside of the original itinerary, and we were so grateful for that thoughtful gesture.
We will never forget this incredible experience. Ahsante sana!
We would definitely recommend Heart of Serengeti ARTS!

A Breathtaking Safari Experience with Oldbeast Vacations
We did a 6-day camping safari with another couple who also happened to be from Canada too. OMG! I still dream about it sometimes!
Mwanne, our main contact from Oldbeast Vacations, was incredibly attentive to every detail. From the moment he met us at the airport, his warm personality immediately made us feel welcome. The next day, he took us on a town tour in Arusha and made sure we always got a fair “rafiki price” instead of a “mzungu price”, bargaining hard for us while we shopped for souvenirs. It honestly felt like exploring the city with a trusted friend.
During the safari, David, our guide, amazed us every single day with his knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and hidden corners of each park. He was charming, funny, and unbelievably skilled at finding animals. Most of the time we enjoyed sightings completely alone, far from the crowded areas, which made the experience feel even more magical.
The camping equipment was all new, the sleeping bags were comfortable, and the whole setup felt safe and well-organized. And Dulla, our cook… wow! He prepared a wonderful variety of delicious meals, and every dinner felt special — especially when paired with a bottle of wine under the African sky.
Everything was truly perfect, and we couldn’t have asked for more.
Thank you to Oldbeast Vacations for this breathtaking experience.
Highly recommend them!

Incredible safari experience
I had the most incredible experience with Plex Africa Safaris, my partner and I traveled all the way from Canada and I’m genuinely so grateful we booked with them.
From the very start, the team was super professional: they coordinated all the logistics smoothly and were quick to answer every question I had. Once we got on safari, it was honestly the best time. Our guide Omar was so knowledgeable and personable, it truly felt like hanging out with friends. Our driver was equally amazing: he was really skilled at spotting animals, and he navigated the park safely and confidently the whole time. Omar shared so many fun facts about the wildlife and made sure we were having a great experience from start to finish. We saw so many animals including lions. And our overnight stay was organized beautifully, which made the whole trip feel easy and stress-free. On day 2, we also did a boat safari and it was wonderful. Our guides Kennedy and Kassim were knowledgeable, kind, and made sure we were safe with all the hippos and crocodiles around.
Lastly, we did a Maasai Boma visit and felt really grateful they welcomed us and shared their way of living with us, it was such a special experience to be invited into their space. I'm glad we brought little gifts from Canada for the kids they were so happy to receive them.
I would 100% book with Plex Africa again and recommend them to anyone planning a safari!

Very thoughtful
Ricky was professional, patient and knowledgeable about the local fauna and flora. He gladly explained when we asked questions and did not hesitate to go an extra mile for us.
