Unforgettable 4 days on Safari
We spent 4 days with Deo - it exceeded all our expectations! With the knowledge, sharp-eyesight of our guide and a bit of luck we not only saw all the animals from Big5, but had other moments that are worth highlighting, like a group of lions that seemed to be on a hunt or cheetah crossing the road right in front of us! It was a pleasure to not only see the animals, but hear some things about them from our guide.
The lodges were perfect - even the one in Serengeti national park: we did not expect to have that much comfort in a tent.
Even when the car tried to ruin the day, our guide ensured it was all safe and we did not miss any game-drives.
Additionally, we want to note smooth communication before the beginning of our trip - every question we had was answered quickly.

Professional service provider
During the planning stage, I have communicated with multiple tour operators and found Budget Holiday Safaris quite professional and prompt in responses. They have shared a very precise itinerary and messages were quite clear. While reached in Kenya, we found the cost is a slightly higher than the other operators/than other groups, but the service was quite up to the mark, except the midway transfer to other vehicle. Our agent was very much helpful and supportive to address our needs. Overall "recommended".

Trained guides, organizational flexibility and knowledge of the area
A wonderful journey to discover the country's largest parks. Big Apes offers a wide range of dates and allows you to tailor the itinerary to your travel needs. Over 11 days, we explored the eastern part of the country, discovering ever-changing habitats and landscapes, spotting hundreds of animals, including all the Big Five (yes, even the leopard, we were lucky!). Don't miss the Chimpanzee trekking and Gorilla trekking to immerse yourself in the rainforest on the border with Congo. Making everything truly unique was the experience and professionalism of our guide, Ronaldo, who led us on sightings, helping us better understand the animals' behavioral dynamics and characteristics. He was always very kind, punctual, and available to chat and answer numerous questions and curiosities. Among the activities we enjoyed most, and which we recommend including in your tour, were the boat safaris, offering the opportunity to see hippos, buffalo, crocodiles, elephants, and an extraordinary variety of birds up close. All the accommodations were very welcoming and well organized, dinners with excellent and varied food.

An experience of a lifetime!
This was my first time visiting Tanzania and while I had some expectation, nothing could have prepared me for this most incredible, life changing and humbling experience.
Upon arrival at Mount Kilimanjaro airport, I could instantly feel the peace and serenity in the air.
All arrangements were made through Wada Adventures and Trekking and upon arrival, we were welcomed with open arms by our guide, William and safely transported to the hotel.
The following day, we had an early start as we headed to Tarangire National Park. The safari was amazing and filled with an abundance of wildlife sightings. Our experienced Wada guide was knowledgeable and ensured all our needs were met.
During the week, we visited the Cultural centre, Maasai markets and experienced the true life and organised chaos of Arusha city centre.
We always felt safe with William and the Wada Adventures team.
Wada Adventures were flexible to our arrangements and accommodating during the course of stay. Nothing was too much to ask.
Asante Sana William, you are a true gem and I wish the greatest success in the years ahead!

Amazing guide
The guide was very knowledgeable about the area and all the animals and great at spotting them and getting close to them. Hotels and the semi open truck was great. Highly recommend

The nicest tour experience
I don’t usually like booking tours because of many bad experiences, however, at the time Ethiopia demanded it. I was so lucky to find Melashu’s company. It’s the most transparent, respectful, informative and well managed tour.
I did the northern Ethiopian route (volcano, Danakil depression etc) and they managed to make me feel comfortable in a difficult weather environment and very safe in an area of conflict.
It’s incredible to have such yummy food in the middle of nowhere!
Thank you,

The Safari That Stole Our Hearts: An Unforgettable Adventure with Wivi Agency
Booking our dream five-day, four-night safari with Wivi Agency was like stepping into a storybook we’d only ever imagined. From the moment we arrived, every heartbeat of this adventure felt magical. The vastness of Tarangire National Park, the awe-inspiring beauty of Ngorongoro Crater, and the endless plains of Serengeti National Park, each game drive was a soul-stirring journey into the wild’s raw, breathtaking wonder.
But this trip wasn’t just about the incredible wildlife. Wivi Agency gifted us with intimate moments in the lives of three local tribes, weaving culture and humanity into our adventure. These encounters weren’t just visits; they were bridges into worlds so different yet so beautifully human, filling our hearts with respect and connection.
From the first step until the last, we felt utterly cared for. The seamless organization by Joshua, Naomi, and Emanuel allowed us to surrender completely to the experience, never once worrying about logistics or timing. Every meal, every wake-up call, every departure was perfectly timed, allowing us to relax and savor every moment without distraction.
Our private tour vehicle, spacious and open-topped, became our sanctuary on wheels. With room for six but just the three of us, it was pure comfort and freedom, offering uninterrupted views of the breathtaking landscapes and elusive creatures. The thrill of spotting wildlife up close, in that open vehicle, was simply unforgettable.
And then there was Laizer, our driver, guide, and guardian of memories. Words can’t capture how much he elevated our experience. He went beyond his role, always pushing that little extra distance to bring us face-to-face with the animals. Where others might have settled for convenience, Laizer chased the extraordinary. His warmth, knowledge, and passion turned every moment with him into a treasured lesson, a story shared, a laugh enjoyed.
He made sure we were never thirsty or uncomfortable, quietly stocking the vehicle with water and Coke, anticipating every need without us having to ask. Even when our flight was delayed, Laizer waited patiently, holding a sign with our names and greeting us with a smile that melted away any travel fatigue. Our brief tour of Arusha, capped off by a delicious meal at a local spot he recommended, felt like a welcome home.
Each night, we rested in accommodations that felt like oases, five-star comfort wrapped in genuine kindness. Clean, cozy, with wonderful food and staff whose warmth touched our souls, making us feel more like family than guests.
If there’s a next time, there’s no question, we will choose Wivi Agency again. From the very first email to the bittersweet farewell, every detail was flawless. Every expectation not just met, but exceeded. They are true professionals who don’t just organize tours, they craft memories, moments, and magic.
Thank you, Wivi Agency, for this unforgettable chapter in our lives. Our hearts are forever full.

Highly Recommended Operator and Crew
Our trip to Tanzania with Zara Tanzania Adventures to trek Kilimanjaro was an absolute highlight. We had two amazing guides, Fordham and Goddie, who were extremely supportive and ensured our safety throughout, along with an incredible team of 6 porters and chef Kimari, who kept us well-nourished with the most delicious meals. The trek was tough, but we had a strong support system led by experienced guides and the friendly crew. I highly recommend Zara Tanzania Adventures.
