Deceitful
Do not recommend – I had a terrible experience with Victoria Falls Serious Fun Travel. The company failed to provide the agreed-upon services and has since defaulted on returning my money. After a formal dispute arose, a signed debt settlement agreement was reached where they committed to a partial refund of US$1,500. However, the owner, Marvel, completely broke this contract—only returning US$245 before cutting off communication and defaulting on the rest of the debt.Because of their fraudulent behavior and breach of contract, I have had to file formal fraud reports with the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA), the local Tourism Police Unit, and CID Commercial Crime. I am also actively working with my credit card provider to resolve the unauthorized and unfulfilled transaction.Save yourself the stress and avoid this operator. They do not honor their contracts or their legal settlement agreements.

Helpful and communicative
The tour providers were very helpful in the lead up answering all questions via WhatsApp. They briefed us at our hotel and kept our big bags safe for us in Arusha for 2 days so we could travel light. The accomodation and food was great!

The safari they deliver is outstanding.
We have traveled over 1,500km in a Toyota Land Cruiser over the last ten days starting from the Kilimanjero International Airport near Arusha then on to Tarangire and Serengeti National Park and finally reaching the Mara River in northern Tanzania before visiting Ngorogoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park on the return leg. This trip has been something I dreamed about after reading National Geographic magazine articles when I was a kid. It was an adventure that I can best describe as magical. There is something about the spirit of the people, the unbelievable beauty and contrast of the landscapes, the sounds of the animals at night from your tent, and the diversity of the wildlife that makes you feel truly alive. Our guide Libe Essau who works for Serengeti Smile is awesome. He is a fully bilingual tour guide professional with comprehensive experience who specializes in the Serengeti region and brings comfort and appropriate pacing to enjoy nature. His abilities to spot wildlife, provide information, keep us safe, know exactly where we are and where we are going, and drive a Toyota Land Cruiser are remarkable. Serengeti Smile has proven to us that they are among the best tour operators in Tanzania. Everthing they told us was factual and they absolutely delivered on all aspects of the safari. Plus they are a locally owned company based in Arusha. Both Libe and Serengeti Smile are highly recommended. We have traveled to many places including the Amazon, Galapagos, the Arctic, Costa Rica, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Mexico the name a few and this trip was one of the very best. There is no place quite like Tanzania!!!

Marvelous experience, thanks to Victor and Sammy
The journey is definitely out of expectation. I took my parents to the trip and chose the agency because Victor is one of the most patient, professional and responsive operator I have reached. I appointed some most popular hotels and knew it was hard to book, but Victor made it happen and almost all according to requirement details(although I wouldn't choose the one in Amboseli again as the view is mostly blocked). Our guide Sammy is a miracle, he is more than helpful, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Not only managed to drive 4-8 hours per day, he knew all about the animals and the best place to find them（a little bit sad we didn't see wildebeest cross river, hopefully can see it the next time). Sammy is experienced and efficient, which makes the journey smooth and isolated from trivial things. I will definitely choose the agency again if it keeps this quality of service.

Unforgettable trip
We had an excellent African safari experience with Raymond as our driver and guide. He is very experienced, professional, and knowledgeable about all kinds of animals, including their behavior and habits. His arrangements were excellent, and he always went the extra mile to help us. He also knows exactly where to find wildlife, giving us many unforgettable encounters. Highly recommended!

Epic
Our safari with Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures was an experience we will always remember. From the moment we started planning our trip, the team was helpful, responsive, and genuinely committed to making our journey special.
Everything was organized perfectly, and we were impressed by the professionalism of the entire team. Our guide made each day exciting and enjoyable, sharing interesting knowledge about the wildlife, landscapes, and ecosystems we encountered along the way.
Tanzania exceeded our expectations, but what made the trip even better was having a company that truly cared about our experience. Every game drive felt like a new adventure, with incredible wildlife sightings and beautiful scenery around every corner.
We highly recommend Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures to anyone dreaming of experiencing a Tanzanian safari. Their dedication, hospitality, and attention to detail made our trip truly unforgettable.

Amazing once in a lifetime experience with Serengeti Clarity
Our safari with Serengeti Clarity was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!
From the very beginning, Serengeti Clarity was incredibly responsive and thorough. They patiently answered my many questions before the trip and made sure every detail was taken care of. The entire experience exceeded our expectations.
One of the most important factors on any safari is the skill and experience of the guide—not only behind the wheel, but also when it comes to finding wildlife. We had read the exceptional reviews about Abdul Mhando from Serengeti Clarity and specifically requested him as our guide. He absolutely did not disappoint.
Abdul is the GOAT of safari guides!!
He has an uncanny ability to find animals and anticipate where they will be. During our safari, we witnessed Big 5 multiple times, fresh lion kills, had a herd of more than 20 elephants pass right by our car (including one so large we had to move our car twice to maintain safety), spotted two leopards in a single day, came within arm's length of a pride of more than 15 lions, and came quite close to the elusive black rhino at the crater (see photos). The wildlife encounters were absolutely incredible.
But finding the animals is only part of what makes a great safari guide. Equally important is knowing how to position the vehicle to create the perfect viewing and photography opportunities. Abdul seemed to have a sixth sense for this. He consistently positioned our truck perfectly, allowing us to get incredibly close to the animals while capturing amazing photos. In fact, he got us so close to the wildlife so many times that I told him we should change his middle name to “Selfie”! 😂
What really sets Abdul apart, though, is his humble nature, experience, and genuine desire to make sure his guests experience everything they hope for.
Seeing the wildebeest Mara river crossing had been high on my bucket list. If it weren't for Abdul's instincts, patience, and determination to make our dreams come true, we might have missed it. We waited for several hours along the riverbank in the Serengeti heat while safari vehicles around us gradually began to leave. Abdul encouraged us to stay, telling us to “just be a little more patient.” And then, almost as if on cue, the crossing began!
Abdul he had positioned our vehicle in the perfect spot. We had front-row seats as thousands of wildebeest made their way across the river right in front of us for 15-20 minutes. It was truly one of the most breathtaking experiences of our lives—and a memory we will cherish forever. For the cherry on top the following day we saw a herd of elephants crossing the Mara with adult elephants "lifting" the baby elephants across.
If you're planning a safari, book with Serengeti Clarity and ask for Abdul Mhando as your guide. You won't regret it! 🦁🐘🐆
Thank you, Serengeti Clarity and Abdul, for an unforgettable adventure and memories that will last a lifetime!
