Our amazing experience with Wilderness Insights Safaris
My family and I hiked Mount Meru and went on a safari with Wilderness Insights Safaris.
From the beginning, we had a few special requests: We wanted to do a day summit on Mount Meru instead of the usual night summit. We also wanted to spend the nights in the order Mirakamba Hut – Saddle Hut – Saddle Hut instead of the usual route of Mirakamba Hut – Saddle Hut – Mirakamba Hut. John accommodated all of these requests and planned and implemented everything exactly as we had imagined.
Mount Meru
The hike up Mount Meru was beautiful – you cross different climatic zones, and we saw water buffalo, warthogs, many monkeys, and even giraffes along the way.
John's team was very friendly, and the two guides took excellent care of us. The food was also very good: every morning we had eggs, toast, porridge, and pancakes. For lunch and dinner, we always had soup, a meat dish with a side dish, salad, fruit for dessert, and hot water for tea. In addition, we were given warm water for washing every day after hiking.
On summit day, unlike all the other groups, we set off at 7 a.m. instead of midnight, at our request. This meant we were able to enjoy a stunning sunrise with Kilimanjaro in the background before breakfast. On the way up, our two guides and the summit porter took excellent care of us: They took our backpacks when someone was exhausted and took as many breaks as we needed. Once at the summit, we were completely alone and were able to enjoy the view for 30 minutes in peace, soak up the sun, and eat our snacks.
Safari: We did the safari with John himself. He was already waiting for us at the hotel when we arrived from Mount Meru and gave us a briefing on how the safari would proceed. On the first day of the safari, he picked us up from our hotel on time. The car was great and very clean (John also vacuumed it every day after the safari, etc.). The car also had a cooler with water, Coke, Coke Zero, white wine, and red wine. For the safari itself, we went to Tarangire, Serengeti, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. We saw an incredible number of animals—far more than I ever could have imagined. John made this already magical experience 100 times better: he explained a lot, had an answer to every question, was extremely knowledgeable about where to find which animals (we saw all of the Big 5), and somehow always managed to get us the best spot among all the safari vehicles, thus providing the best view of the animals. The food on the safari was also much better than expected: most of the other safari groups had boxed lunches, which I also expected. But John brought thermal dishes, which the hotel refilled every day, so we had hot (very good) food for lunch every day. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed Mount Meru and the safari. Both were unforgettable experiences, made even better by John's personable manner, experience, and planning. I highly recommend Wilderness Insights Safaris to everyone.

Great 4 days safari with Mountain Warriors!
We had a great 4 days safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire.
The pick up service from airport and hotel worked perfectly. The whole organization of the tour was fine. Our guide Chryson gave us very much information and tried his best to show us as many animals as possible. The public campsites were okay, the lodge was great. Our chef Youssuf did an amazing job. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was so good every day.

Had a great time during the safari
Lydia, helped me with the bookings and also additionally helped me book a bus to Dar es Salaam when I was in Arusha, which she didn’t have to. I had a great experience during the safari, saw lots of animals. The driver delayed towards the end but she asked him to drop me quickly so, she’s always there to support you in case of any issues.

Kush is excellent and professional, and also explain many things about animals! He is great!
I had a great safari experience with Jungleroam Safaris. Our guide Kush is excellent – very professional, knowledgeable, and patient. He made sure we saw all the animals we wanted, explained their behavior in detail, and always waited for us so we could enjoy every moment. His hard work and kindness made the trip unforgettable, and I am truly grateful. The company’s service is also very good, with clear communication, reliable organization, and good value for money. Kush met all our needs and expectations. I would definitely recommend Jungleroam Safaris to other travelers.

Professional, experienced and well organised safari.
Our experince at Lenchada Safari was amazing. We did 5 days safari to include Massai Mara, Nakuru & Naivasha.
Food and accomodation was decent and comfortable for the budget safari. Our guide Peter Nding'ai (+254 724 759963) was exceptionally good and went out of the way to make sure we have the best experience. Peter was always proactive to take us to places where we could spot the animals with best views possible. Peter even took us to places well inside parks which was testament of his 7 years plus experience in safaris.
We spotted all Big 5 and had wonderful experience in Massai Mara, Crescent Island (walking along animals) and Hell’s Gate Park (cycling).
Things were smooth and well org by the Lenchada Safaris.

Unforgettable Safari way beyond expectations
I really enjoy the 7-day-safari with the company of our guide Kush. It is a wonderful journey, during which we saw so many wild animals. Kush introduced various species in a professional way but still vividly. He always tried his best to jazz the trip up with his humor. I can’t expect more from it. Best memories ever!

Unforgettable Safari!
I went on a day safari to Mikumi National Park from Zanzibar, and it was such a wonderful experience. Everything was well arranged, and our guide Ernest, made the trip unforgettable.
He is super friendly and knows so much about the animals – not just their names, but also how they live and behave. He answered all our questions in the jeep and really made us feel part of the adventure.
What I loved most is his passion for wildlife. You can feel how much he cares, and that made the safari even more special. Ernest now has his own company, Saga Expedition, and I can highly recommend booking with him. You will be in the best hands!
