Great safari trip
I must say I was skeptical - amazing rates, immediate responses, easily adapting to our changing plans... What was the catch? Well there wasn't any! Peter, Dennis and our tour guide Moses were all amazing from the get go. They reorganized a cab to drop us off to our friends as our flight got delayed by a day on arrival. Moses got us to the best sights and we were lucky to see all of the big cats. The only thing I'd change is the itinerary (to just 2 parks in 6 days) as I felt we were on the road between the parks for a lot of the time. We also weren't very comfortable with the way we were hounded to pay a lot of money by the masai villagers on the village visit. It's also worth an upgrade to a land cruiser as it is a more comfortable drive. The sopa lodges were good (Naivasha and Nakuru being really good). Thank you Laxatrails for giving us a memorable holiday. 100% will recommend you to friends!

Attentive
We had an amazing time in Africa! Our tour was organized exactly as promised, and everything exceeded our expectations. The hotels were fantastic, the price was perfect, and the all-inclusive resort made our stay completely stress-free.
A special thanks to Edith—we would choose her again and again for any future trips to Africa. And our driver, Chris, was outstanding! During our 6-day trip, we felt incredibly safe and well taken care of.
Highly recommend this tour agency for anyone looking for a seamless and memorable African adventure!

We had a wonderful Kenya Highlights Safari!
This safari was well planned and thought out. The tour guide (Martin) was on top of all the details of the trip, drove like an expert, and showed us many of the animals one hopes to see while on safari in Kenya. Martin had multiple days full of activities and he deftly coordinated everything with a smile and did not make us feel rushed. He also shared natural history details about the animals and plants we were observing. The accommodations and food were also exceptional and the vehicle was topnotch - allowing for great viewing. I highly recommend Bovid Africa!

A trip of a lifetime
To summarize our experience with Sacred Wilderness, I will say it was one of the most amazing experiences in my life. We were a group of 5 coming from the US. We picked this company based on the reviews but still, we did not know what to expect. Lulu was amazing communicating with us, flexible and accommodating to build an enjoyable experience for us. She was responsive through email and very kindly and patiently responded to all our questions. We planned a 5-day safari including a hike to Kilimanjaro’s first camp, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with two hotel nights in Arusha and two nights camping. We stayed at Charity hotel in Arusha. People at the hotel were super friendly and flexible to accommodate our schedules. The food was amazing, freshly prepared, tasty, healthy. They prepared boxed breakfast on our last day since our flight was very early in the morning. The hotel is modest but clean, had hot water and comfortable beds.
Zacayo and Emmanuel were our guides to Kilimanjaro. Soo much fun! They did everything in their hands to make our experience unforgettable. We learned our first Swahili words and slang expressions with them. We laughed so much! They were the kindest and most fun. While Emmanuel stayed to take care of our luggage in the car, Zacayo and another guide ( i cant write his name) hiked with us. Both were amazing to make the hike fun. It rained a lot and the path became super muddy and slippery, they cut some sticks for us to walk safely. They carried our meal and water all the way up to the first camp. Food after the hike felt great! On our way to Kilimanjaro, Emmanuel and Zacayo bought for us our first sugar bananas… omg! Soo good! A little moment I will not forget. Overall, they were fantastic and we are really thankful for making our first day in Tanzania a wonderful experience.
After Kilimanjaro, William, our safari guide came to pick us up to the Arusha hotel to start our trip to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. William was the most amazing guide and I will never forget the time we spent with him. We had the most incredible experience thanks to him. He was the kindest and most fun. He was knowledgeable of the area, animals etc . We bombarded him with questions and we laughed so much together. We saw the big 5 and so many other animals, birds, plants, amazing landscape…. We were all in awe all the time! It was so sad to say goodbye to William, and we really missed him for the rest of our trip. Together with William, Davidi came with us for the safari. He was our chef!OMG! Davidi was amazing and we were always excited to see what he would have cooked for us. Arriving to the campsite at night and hangout by the kitchen waiting to see Davidi’s food was such a special moment. William and him ate with us. Eating and chatting all together was very special. William was an amazing driver, we felt safe at all times. After the safari, he took us to some local handcraft and artisan markets to do some shopping, which we also enjoyed. There is so much I could write about our safari experience with William and Davidi… but I will summarize it as it was an unforgettable experience, a life experience, where nothing could have been better than it was.
We all are so thankful to each of them for making of this trip such a magical experience. We fully recommend Sacred Wilderness!

Review about Serengeti National Park by Christoph
Very nice impression of the Serenegeti Plain. The atmosphere was „out of Africa style“. Nice and beautyful lodges with excellent food and accomodation inpermanent tents.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Christoph
It was extreme to see all these animals one by another grazing or sleeping peacefully in the crater.

Countless animals in their natural environment
We went on a 3-day safari with Serengeti and NgoroNgoro Crater. The landscape was wonderfully green and countless animals grazed peacefully on the green, lush meadows. We werw lucky to discover all the Big Five and were able to marvel at all the animals in their natural habitat. It was very impressive. As December is the rainy season, it rained heavily for 1-2 hours every day.
Everything worked out perfectly. The camps were well organised and the food was excellent. The days were intense and eventful.
I recommend 3-4 days for this type of safari.
You should bear in mind that you spend many hours in the safari car and that the journey to the national parks alone is around 250 kilometres.

Stunning Landscapes, Majestic Wildlife, and Heartwarming People
Our trip to Kenya was amazing, thanks to Family Leisure. They handled all bookings, food, water, and transit, making the experience stress-free.
We visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, and Tsavo West. The drive between parks was long but well worth it for the variety of landscapes and wildlife. Masai Mara offered incredible wildlife sightings, with our driver Simon ensuring we saw as many animals as possible. At Lake Nakuru, we saw rhinos, and the large hotel was a great place to relax. Amboseli had plenty of elephants, and Tsavo West provided stunning accommodations with views of elephants and zebras from every angle.
Family Leisure made everything seamless, and Simon’s expertise made our trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommend booking with them!

Great guy with great personality
We chose Hekima Safaris among many tour operators because of their prompt and professional communication, and we couldn’t have made a better decision! From our initial contact in Germany, Mopoo was incredibly responsive and provided detailed and accurate information. When certain questions required confirmation from his team in Tanzania, he ensured quick and reliable follow ups, always staying true to his word.
Our safari experience was perfectly balanced, beginning with a day in Arusha where we immersed ourselves in the local culture, including traditional dances, followed by a breathtaking sunset hike with Ambrosia. The highlight was our seven day game drive through Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, guided by the exceptional Sindano. Our talented cook, Action, impressed us with fresh, diverse meals every day even baking bread each morning and making pizza in the middle of the Serengeti!
A helpful tip for future travelers: bring warm clothing for the nights spent camping at the Ngorongoro Crater’s edge (2,400m altitude).
Hekima Safaris delivered outstanding value for money and an unforgettable experience. We were fortunate to witness all of the Big Five, making this journey truly special. Thank you to our friends at Hekima Safaris for an incredible adventure
