Incredible, it was a dream come true
I loved the trip. It fulfilled a life long dream of mine. The trip also lived up to that dream, not once did I feel let down, or anything like that.
The people were incredibly friendly and approachable. I was worried about the impact on wildlife safari could have but the tour operators were really respectful and ethical towards the wildlife. We were still able to have breathtaking experiences with the wildlife, without the compromise.

Thoughtful Service From Start to Finish
What impressed me most about Jambo Bwana was how personal and thoughtful their service felt from the very beginning.
While comparing several safari companies, many seemed to send standard itineraries and quotations. Jambo Bwana was different. They carefully listened to what we wanted and worked to find the best possible itinerary within our budget, which made the planning process smooth and efficient.
A special thank you to Faith, who handled our arrangements. She was always kind, patient and attentive. At the beginning of our trip, she surprised us with a small rhino souvenir and a handwritten note, which was such a lovely way to start our honeymoon safari.
Throughout the trip, we also found small honeymoon surprises prepared for us at different places, and those thoughtful touches became some of the most memorable parts of our journey. The barbecue set up for us in the middle of the Serengeti plains was especially unforgettable and one of the absolute highlights of our honeymoon.
Our safari driver and guide, Issah, was fantastic. He somehow spotted animals from incredible distances and was clearly very experienced. He also explained the animals, landscapes and local history throughout the trip, which made the safari much more meaningful. Even after the official itinerary ended, he kindly helped us exchange money in Arusha.
We were also grateful to Silvanus, who drove us to the airport the following day even though our Arusha hotel had been booked separately. Since we had some extra time before our flight, he even offered to stop somewhere for us and patiently waited.
Everything ran smoothly from beginning to end without a single problem. More than anything, we appreciated the kindness, flexibility and attention to detail shown by the whole team.
Thank you to Faith, Issah, Silvanus and everyone at Jambo Bwana for making our honeymoon safari such a memorable experience.

Our safari in Tanzania exceeded every single expectation we had.
An absolute dream of a trip – 10/10!
What an incredible experience! Our safari in Tanzania exceeded every single expectation we had. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamlessly organized, safe, and stress-free.
We were fortunate enough to see the Big Five up close, witness herds crossing the plains in the Serengeti, and stand in awe of the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide Malley Simon was not only an expert at tracking wildlife, but also incredibly kind, patient, and full of fascinating stories about nature and local culture. The lodges and tented camps we stayed in were spotless, comfortable, and offered unforgettable views of the savannah under the stars.
If you are thinking about booking a trip with this team, do it! It was the trip of a lifetime, and we are already dreaming of coming back.

Wonderful service, extremely well organised, excellent tour operator
Fantastic experience from start to finish. Fauziah and team where highly responsive from day one, very proactive and focused on our needs. Great communication, outlining various options and listening to our feedback to tailor and refine the itinerary to our specific requirements. We traveled with four children and wanted a quality experience but mindful of budget and we were extremely happy with the outcome. Accommodation was great, our safari guide was amazing, knew exactly where to go and when - we saw everything we wanted and more with some truly memorable moments that we will never forget. He was friendly and professional, our kids loved him.
We made several changes to our itinerary while we were there, switching to internal flights instead of road transfers which Fauziah handed no problem with less than 24hrs notice. We also extended our tour mid-way through and added some extra nights at new hotels, all handled without any issues at short notice.
We have only positive feedback and would highly recommend.

Caring, funny and knowledgeable – Jameson made our safari truly unforgettable!
Our safari with Jameson was truly wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. Seeing Africa and elephants had been a lifelong dream of mine, and Jameson made that dream come true – and even made it more special than I could have imagined. His warm personality, humour and incredible knowledge filled our safari with unforgettable moments. We felt in very good hands throughout the entire experience.
I'm truly grateful that our paths crossed. We are still in touch today, and I sincerely hope to visit Jameson again one day. I couldn't have wished for a better guide or a more memorable safari. Highly recommended!

Incredible safari experience with Usaka Adventures
My son and I recently went on a 5 day safari with Usaka Adventures going to 3 parks (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). I had tentatively booked with another company, but in talking to David, Usaka could do the same trip for less and a portion of the money goes to supporting an orphanage charity which I was very happy about.
We had an amazing trip seeing all of the big 5 animals and many more. We saw so many lions it was crazy. Our driver and guides made sure we saw all of the animals we wanted. The guides were very knowledgeable about the animals, birds and trees.
We had really nice tented accommodations with showers and toilets. We had very tasty meals at each place and for our lunches. The jeep was very comfortable and guides provided snacks, drinks and beer if we wanted.
We had meals together with our guides which helped us to learn more about Tanzania, its culture and speaking Swahili.
I would highly recommend booking your safari with Usaka. You will be very happy you did.

An unforgettable safari – and memories we’ll treasure forever! 🐘🌍
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – An experience that exceeded every expectation!
Where do we even begin? Our private safari with Loushir African Safari was, without exaggeration, one of the most incredible experiences we’ve ever had. And what made it so special wasn’t just the breathtaking wildlife or the beautiful landscapes of Kenya – it was the people who made it all happen.
From our very first contact, everything felt easy, personal, and genuinely thoughtful. We were able to customize our itinerary, switch hotels to better suit our preferences, and create a safari that was truly ours. Every request was handled with such kindness and flexibility that we felt completely taken care of before we’d even arrived.
And then there was Guts. ❤️
Our wonderful guide and driver, a local from Diani Beach, who honestly deserves a review of his own!
Guts was so much more than someone driving us through the national parks. He was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, respectful, patient, and genuinely passionate about the wildlife and his beautiful country. We learned so much from him, laughed a lot, and simply loved spending those days together.
He had an unbelievable eye for spotting animals, often noticing things we would never have seen ourselves. Thanks to his incredible instincts and lightning-fast reactions, we got to witness cheetahs in the wild, spot a leopard, and experience countless moments that still give us goosebumps when we think about them.
And then there was Mount Kilimanjaro – seeing it rise above the African landscape was one of those moments when you just stop talking and take it all in. Absolutely surreal.
What we appreciated most about Guts was that he never made us feel like we were simply following a standard safari itinerary. He genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible. He went out of his way to create special moments, and you could tell that our happiness and the memories we were making truly mattered to him.
Since we booked a private safari for just the two of us, we had the freedom to enjoy everything at our own pace. It felt like our own little African adventure, rather than an organized tour.
Everything was perfectly arranged, from our initial pickup to being dropped off at our next hotel in Diani Beach. Not a single thing to worry about – just five unforgettable days of exploring, discovering, and falling a little bit more in love with Kenya.
We do want to mention one thing: before booking, we were slightly hesitant because we couldn’t find many independent reviews of the company. If you’re currently in that same position, let this be the review we wish we’d found back then. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
We’ve already recommended Loushir African Safari to our family and friends, and we would book with them again in a heartbeat.
To the entire team at Loushir African Safari: thank you for making our dream safari a reality. And to Guts: thank you for your kindness, your laughter, your incredible knowledge, and for showing us Kenya through your eyes. You made this adventure something we’ll never forget.
Some trips are wonderful while you’re there. Others stay with you long after you’ve returned home.
This was definitely one of those. ❤️🇰🇪

Safari Perfection from the Serengeti to the Maasai Mara.
Our Viatu consultant listened closely to our vision and hopes for the safari adventure and put together a perfect itinerary. The locations and the accommodations were all remarkable. We had spent years dreaming about a Safari in East Africa... our expectations (and hopes) were very high and they were exceeded in every way.
