Great safari experience
We did a 4/5 day safari and an 4 day in Zanzibar with Ribris. Our safari tour was exceptional in every way, well organised by Hinal from Ribris. A big thank you to Hinal for ensuring we had a good time and ensured that each location catered for our dietary requirements. Our guide Rashidi was very knowledgeable and attentive, and the entire experience felt amazing. He ensured that we saw the maximum of wildlife and some amazing encounters in Serengeti of wildlife and the big cats and great migration. The hotels in Stone town & Beach were very nice and we had enjoyable and relaxing time on the beautiful beach at Zanzibar. We felt safe, informed, and constantly in awe of our surroundings. I would highly recommend Ribris to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in nature.

An incredible safari experience!
We had a fantastic time in the Masai Mara and want to give a special shout-out to our driver, Jimmy. He was always courteous, and dealt with any small issues that arose immediately and without a fuss. He shared his extensive knowledge of the wildlife and nature with us, and we felt safe and comfortable with him the entire time.
Regarding the accommodations, our first tented camp was okay. The second one, a hotel, was absolutely amazing and we loved our stay there.
We were lucky enough to see all of the Big 5 and the wildlife sightings were simply unforgettable. For future tours, we have one small suggestion: visiting the Maasai village on the evening of arrival. This would save guests the rather high park fees for one extra day in the Masai Mara National Park.
All in all, this was a wonderful and highly recommendable experience that we will never forget.

Great organization, excellent service, and very professional staff – everything was top
A wonderful experience, thanks to the excellent organization by Kiwoito. Our guide was knowledgeable, respectful of the animals, and explained their behavior and natural habitat in a fascinating way. He was always on the lookout for wildlife, helping us spot animals hidden in the bush. He showed us a truly magnificent country. Thank you to Kiwoito Africa for this fantastic trip and for being so attentive to our needs. Special thanks to Evaline for her helpful advice before our arrival, regarding travel documents and medical recommendations. If I ever return to Tanzania, I will definitely contact you again. I highly recommend Kiwoito Africa!

Unforgettable experience
We had an amazing time, the whole crew was very helpful and attentive. Both Goodluck and Charles were excellent guides and clearly had a lot of experience in Kilimanjaro. Charles was very knowledgeable about the nature in the area and shared a lot of insights along the way. We were very comfortable in the tent, it was huge, and the food during the whole trip was amazing, we didn’t know we could eat so well up in the mountains. Goodluck did a great job assembling the team.
Overall, we had an unforgettable time and everything went perfectly.

Very punctual and hard working
I would absolutely recommend Peak season Africa safaris for following reasons
1) Making sure transport is smooth and nice quality of vehicles
2) Making sure we get to all big 5 and more
3) Our driver was Denis and he made our safaris and game drives memorable. Took us everywhere and made sure we are safe . Provided nice information while game drives about animal ,birds and vegetation

Perfect safari! Well-organized, amazing guide & unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!
Staying at Serengeti Heaven Safari Lodge was truly a highlight of our trip! From the moment we arrived, the welcome was so warm and heartfelt — we instantly felt at home. The lodge combines the magic of the Serengeti with comfort and luxury. The tented rooms were beautifully designed, giving us the authentic feeling of being close to nature, yet with all the modern comforts you could wish for.
The attention to detail was incredible: the rooms were spotless, cozy, and perfectly set up for relaxation after a long safari day. The food was delicious and freshly prepared, and every meal felt like a treat. What really made the experience special, though, was the hospitality of the staff — always smiling, attentive, and ready to help with anything we needed.
Waking up to the sounds of nature and the stunning views around the lodge was unforgettable. It felt peaceful, magical, and very well thought out. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay during our Serengeti adventure.
I would absolutely recommend Serengeti Heaven Safari Lodge to anyone visiting the Serengeti — it’s the perfect mix of comfort, authenticity, and warm hospitality.

Amboseli, Tsavo East & West 3N 4D
We booked with Ton as we were super keen to see Amboseli, Tsavo East & West. He was very patient in sending updated quotes and itineraries until we were satisfied with the final one.
5/5 Stars for our guide Ben
- Ben was a great guide, he was very chill, smiley & made us feel comfortable to ask for whatever we needed. He was a safe driver and was really informative along the our travels. Not only telling us about the animals we were seeing but even about infrastructure, rail roads, plants, plantations everything we saw he had a fact about which we really loved.
5/5 Start for the accommodation selected.
- We stayed in Ngulia Safari Lodge, Penety Amboseli Resort & Voi Safari Lodge. Really could not recommend these enough, Ngulia & Voi Safari had water holes where you could sit and watch the animals (Elephants, Buffalo, Pumba, Baboons, Zebras, Waterbuck & more), Ngulia we also spotted a Leopard feeding around 11pm. The food provided was of good standard, staff were friendly & accommodating.
5/5 Transportation
- Safari's are not easy with bumps and dust but getting into our van our first morning, the seats were spotless, they even reclined. It was definitely the comfiest van / jeep we have had.
5/5 Landscapes of the parks
Aside from these parks being home to many animals, the landscape, views and geology is so fascinating. You are witness to changing rocky landscapes, lava flows, springs, the views of Kilimanjaro and more! Ben was so great in telling us the history of the landscape and when the eruptions happened etc, as someone who loves geography this was fantastic.
3/5 Animal Sightings
- Unfortunately we were not very lucky in regards to seeing some animals. Of course we did our research regarding these parks prior to going and know that it can be more difficult to spot but I definitely wouldn't recommend this safari to someone looking for the "Big 5". We saw many many elephants which was amazing, loads of grazing animals, gazelles, antelope, zebra, giraffes, waterbuck etc but did miss some of the predators such as lions, cheetah, wild dogs, hyeenas etc. We were very lucky to see the Leopard at the lodge and also on our last day during our game drive in Tsavo East, Ben spotted a leopard in the tree and it was amazing as it was just us and him! We also visited the Rhino Sanctuary at Tsavo West and I was really hoping that with 140+ rhinos in a small sanctuary there we would see some but we didn't see a single one... this was quite disappointing. I think more communication between rangers & drivers could help sightings in this instance, it was our main animal we wanted to see at this place given the fact it is for Rhinos. The low animal sightings was no fault of our driver as he was always on the lookout as were we and drove everywhere.
2/5 Netherken Communication
- I think Netherken failed a little regarding communication. The night before it would have made sense to consult directly with the driver for the following morning, instead you are still dealing with the owner or someone else in the company and this made for a delay of collection by 25 minutes due to not being able to speak directly with our driver. No fault of his as he was on time but wasn't sure where we were located.
- We were brought to Mzima Springs for a nature walk, but our group left before us and then we had to rush the first half of it missing animal sightings like crocodiles and monkeys along the way. It felt rushed and frustrating. There was no apology from Netherken about this.
- In addition to communication on our last day, we had lunch included in the price we paid however we were told that we didn't by our driver. He then called the office and was told to let us have lunch and Netherken would have to call and pay the place directly... considering it's in our itinerary I'm not sure how this was missed or why it was paid twice? When I texted Netherken about this, they ignored multiple messages. It sort of felt like once you have paid they don't care anymore as they have their money.
Overall, my rating is an average, the accommodation definitely increases that average, whilst animal sightings and communication with Netherken brings it down a bit.
