Beautiful memories
From start to finish, our tour with Hekima Safaris was organized incredibly well. We were welcomed on arrival in Arusha by Mopoo, who took us to our first hotel, and from that moment on we were in excellent hands.
Throughout our safari, Jackson looked after us with genuine care. The whole experience was magical — he made sure we were always comfortable and helped us tick off everything on our bucket list, including the Big Five. One thing we truly appreciated was the warm lunches every day. While many other groups were eating lunch boxes, we enjoyed delicious hot meals with pasta or rice after a long morning out in the parks. It made the experience feel so much more personal and premium.
Communication during the planning stage was perfect, and even once we reached Zanzibar, the Hekima office made sure all our transfers were arranged smoothly. With so many tour companies to choose from, we are genuinely happy that we chose Hekima Safaris. They were ethical, professional, and our guide was extremely knowledgeable.
We couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience. Highly recommended!

Professional and committed to a great safari experience for the guests!
Thank you to Benson and Eric for a truly memorable safari experience!
My friend and I had a wonderful time on our 4-day private safari with Eric. He was dedicated to making sure we had a full and meaningful experience, and we were able to see everything we were hoping for—animals, the lava flows, Taita Hills, and more. He was kind, knowledgeable, and fun to spend time with; we shared a lot of laughs. I especially appreciated how he went above and beyond, including helping us find extra food and water after some very full days. Thank you, Eric!
We had arranged an “in-between” style safari—staying in our own accommodations and planning to bring extra food to keep costs down. I would imagine that most Banok guests stay in higher-end lodges inside the parks, so at times it was a bit challenging to find our lodgings or locate affordable food options. So in that respect, the experience wasn’t always perfectly aligned with the budget-focused approach we’d requested, but Eric was flexible and adapted to our needs.
Otherwise, the trip was excellent. A big thank-you to Benson for putting together an itinerary that allowed us to experience so much in just 4 days.

It was a incredible experience that was facilitated by knowledgeable, kind and experienced staff.
I had a wonderful trip with my family. We decided on a private safari which was an excellent choice and made the experience more tuned to our needs. Though I have no doubt that they would provide the same level of service, expertise and kindness in all setting. Our guide Raymond made sure we saw the big 5 and numerous other animals. His knowledge about the animals and environment was phenomenal and I could never say enough good things.
If you get the chance ask for him, he really worked hard and made our experience a once in a lifetime trip. We stayed at Mara Mashi lodge and it was everything we hoped for and more. Rooms where comfortable and luxurious, food was excellent and the staff was incredibly kind and everyone went the extra mile to ensure our stay was amazing. We then moved to Sopa Lodge in Lake Nakaru which was such an incredible park and the lodge was fantastic. Views where out of this world.
A day trip took us to lake Navishka and it was amazing to walk crystal island.. do not miss out on walking with giraffe, Zebra and wildebeest and even seeing hippos from a safe distance... amazing. We stopped at the small Cafe on the island had one of the best Thai coffees since I was in Thailand.
Every detail was handled by Axis ( Phillip, thanks so much) and Raymond and I cant recommend them enough.

Great travel planning and Excellent concierge
An unforgettable 11 day adventure in South Africa and Zimbabwe. The travel itinerary, activities and flight bookings were well planned, with good attention to detail and timing. Peach’s prompt and reassuring follow-up before, during, and after our holiday made us feel well taken care of. Tours and Transfer services by local agents were smooth and of high quality throughout the trip. Everything was well coordinated, which made our trip relaxing and enjoyable.

Stress free
We recently booked our 8-days 7 nights safari honeymoon through this travel company, and it turned out to be one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. From day one, the team was incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to creating a perfect trip for us.
Syprose our travel agent handled every detail seamlessly, and our tour guide/driver Dickson was outstanding, flexible, have a sharp eye for wildlife and always making sure we were safe, comfortable, and having the best time possible. They knew exactly where to take us for the most breathtaking wildlife moments, and every day felt like a new adventure.
The partner lodges and camps were wonderful, offering beautiful rooms, great food, and exceptional service. Everything was well-coordinated, stress-free, and tailored to us as a honeymoon couple.
We truly felt that the entire team went above and beyond in every aspect. This safari was a dream come true, and we couldn’t recommend this company highly enough for anyone looking for a magical, well-planned, and memorable travel experience!

Incredible Wildlife Experience Beyond Expectations
I traveled with Goldfish Tours in August for a 4-day safari covering Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire, and it was an incredible experience! The trip was well-organized from start to finish — our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and always made sure we were comfortable. We saw all the Big Five and learned so much about wildlife and local culture. The accommodations and meals were great, and everything ran smoothly. I highly recommend Goldfish Tours to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

Detail oriented
Lineage Gorilla Safari was an amazing host. They treated us as family and we had great rapport with the guides. The trekking itself is absolutely fabulous, we also got to watch some African soccer together and meet their families. A dream team I would say!
