Everything awesome from start to end
Our experience with Bavuma Wild Quest was excellent from start to finish. Communication was great which gave us great confidence before the trip began. Joshua also accomodated our scheduled based on our feedback and needs.
The service was amazing — our guides were knowledgeable and friendly, and the tour was unforgettable, we saw more than what we expected. Great value for money too, acommodations were better than the photos!
Highly recommend Bavuma Wild Quest to anyone looking for an adventure.

Extremely helpful and detailed oriented.
Planning our first safari trip was overwhelming at first but we are so grateful to have found Tales of Tanzania and specifically Pendo. She was knowledgeable, extremely responsive and detailed oriented. We felt at ease with her planning every detail and going above and beyond to make our honeymoon dream trip exceptional. She worked with our budget, was flexible to make updates for our must haves and things that we definitely wanted to see and we were even able to upgrade our lodging to make our trip even more special. We started or trip with a guided day hike in Kilimanjaro and our guide, Bryceson was friendly and ensured we were comfortable with the pace while still being able to complete the hike. We felt so accomplished to complete the hike to Mandara hut! We then went on to our Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater multi-days safari and from the first day when we met our private guide Terry, we were blown away with his knowledge and expertise. We were very comfortable with the vehicle which we had all to ourselves and especially to get his undivided attention. We ended our first day with a Mara River crossing and couldn’t believe that we were able to catch this spectacular experience all thanks to Terry. We couldn’t imagine how it could get better but everyday was another amazing day! To end our trip we got to quickly meet with Pendo, the woman who patiently worked with us to plan our dream trip and she surprised us with souvenirs as a gift for our honeymoon and a small piece of Tanzania to take with us. Overall we highly recommend Tales of Tanzania as we feel that the communication, service, value for money, reliability and the tour itself was truly better than anything we could’ve wished for. Wish all companies can be like this.

Incredible ! I have no words
Our experience with Serengeti Smile was absolutely incredible! We were lucky enough to see the Big Five while always observing the animals with respect and care.
This experience would not have been the same without Champion and Nickson, who were absolutely amazing. They welcomed us as if we were part of their family. Over the three days, we shared so many moments of laughter and joy and created unforgettable memories together.
If you are hesitating about booking your safari with Serengeti Smile, don’t hesitate any longer — you won’t regret it!
A special thank you to Jeremiah, who was in contact with me throughout the organisation of our safari and made everything so easy. Thank you to the entire team for your kindness, availability, professionalism, and positive energy.
This experience truly would not have been the same without you. Thank you for making our safari so special and unforgettable! ❤️

Amazing experience
I had a great experience with Geeman. He is very kind, patient, and does his job exceptionally well. Geeman went above and beyond to make sure we got to see all of the Big Five. He answered all of our questions, from the names of trees and questions about the Maasai people to what different animals eat.
He has so much knowledge to share, and I would absolutely recommend going on a tour with him and Jocky Tours. We had an amazing experience!

Not only very nice, but he was knowledgeable and patient and brought a great experience for us
My girlfriend and I spent eight nights with Leopard Orchards and honestly, it was an amazing experience. If you’re thinking about doing a safari, I would definitely recommend going with the private experience. For us, it was 100% worth it.
I also wouldn’t recommend doing a safari for just a couple of days. Having eight nights gave us enough time to really enjoy it without feeling rushed, and we got to see so much.
The biggest thing for me was our driver, Paul. You could tell right away that he genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible. He would go out of his way to get us to the best locations and make sure we got the most out of every day. He wasn’t just driving us around — he really knew what he was doing.
Paul was also incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and the landscape. Anytime we had a question, he had an answer, and he was always happy to explain what we were seeing. He was also very patient with us and never made us feel rushed.
Honestly, everything you would want in a safari driver, Paul has. His experience and passion really made a difference in our trip.
The vehicle was great too and made the long days out on safari very comfortable.
Overall, I would highly recommend Leopard Orchards to anyone looking to do a safari. We had an incredible eight nights and made memories that my girlfriend and I will never forget. If you’re going to do it, I’d definitely recommend the private experience and giving yourself at least eight days. You won’t regret it.

AMAZING!! Great communicators. Personalized to you. They care about your experience and safety.
Where do I start? So many WONDERFUL things to say about this company.
First of all Filipa was incredibly communicative upon our initial inquiry into scheduling a Safari. Answered all my questions in detail and very responsive to emails. I also reached out with questions during the Safari which she immediately responded too. I work in customer service and rarely find a company so attentive to their clients needs. I had researched several companies and this one was reasonably priced as well.
Secondly, our Nairobi driver, Moses made a great first impression. Waiting for us at the airport and taking us to our hotel. The van was comfortable and he made us feel very safe and offered to come back after we settled in to give us a city tour. We were so excited for the trip, we couldnt sleep despite the long journey, so we welcomed his offer. He took us to the Giraffe Center, a place where local bead jewelry was. made, and to a great family restaurant to enjoy local food. He also drove us around on our last day too for a visit to the Kenyan National Museum.
The next morning our Safari Guide, Sammie picked us up. We embarked on an amazing 9 day trip to the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli National Park. Sammie was SO knowledgeable! He was a walking encyclopedia of animal species, gestations, habitats, and behaviors. He knew 100's of species of birds and plants. He could spot animals from a mile away. The long drives between parks enabled us to ask questions about Kenyan culture, resources, politics, topography, climate, food, and language. I think I valued those conversations as much, if not more than the animal searches. He educated us on many symbiotic relationships too. He was so personable and became a friend to our family. He drove the rough terrain with care and always had our safety in mind.
Thirdly, The camps and lodges they recommended were all terrific. Excellent staff and service every where we went. I only wish we could have spent more time enjoying the accommodations since we were out on game drives for the entire day. Many were so beautiful. We did ask Sammie to make one of our last days a half day of game drive so we could relax and absorb all that we had been learning and take in the beauty at our camp. This company will adjust the days to what you want to do. Ultimate personalization. We loved having the Landcruiser to our selves and could stand up and enjoy the scenery as Sammie drove.
Lastly, I was so impressed with the Kenyan people. Everyone so friendly and beautiful and truly caring about our experience and safety. This trip made a lasting impression on my family and I cant recommend this company enough! They were all wonderful. You won't regret booking with them!
