Funny and Perfect Safari Game
What a Great experience that the Tour Guide provide to us in Safari. He try hard to give us more and more opportunity to meet the animal including the Big Five. I can meet 4 animals in Big Five. Also, the Tour Guide is so nice and answer the questions of the animals exhaustively.

Unforgettable safari with The best!
I booked a 6 day safari with Hekima, which was the best decision made in 2022. From the beginning Jackson and his entire was forthcoming with all details and what to expect as we travelled to Arusha. The hospitality we received is unmatchable, they took very good of us during the entire trip.
Our amazing skillful guide Amani, you can tell he loves his job. Excellent driver, very friendly, and what great sense of humor he has! he drove us to all good spots, we managed to see all the big cats, giraffes, elephants, buffalos, hippos, Gazelles, all sorts of birds.
I Highly recommend doing a safari with Hekima, Amani, Jackson, and Mopoo Thank you once again for a wonderful experience. #Gohekima

A professional team dedicated to provide their guests with a lifetime experience
I met Jessica and her team back in 2020 at the Bay Area travel show. Their cheetah photo on display surely caught my attention and soon we started building an animal focused safari trip to Tanzania together.
We had a lot of tricky situations in our group due to members weren’t able to travel because of COVID restrictions and changing numbers of travelers last minute. From the start for two entire years, Jessica worked tirelessly to listen to our needs and helped us sort out all the postponements. She was always there for us the entire time to handle questions and deal with travel logistics in a promptly manner. I cannot thank her and her team enough for what they’ve done for us! For this, I totally recommend Dancing Zebra!!!
We were in Tanzania for 14 days and spend an abundant amount of time with the wildlife at Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti NP! All the camps/lodges we stayed at (hamerkop house, Kuro tarangire, entamatu, lemala nanyukie, Lamai Serengeti) were beyond amazing with kind hearted staff members! It’s very hard to pick a favorite since they each had their own uniqueness.
In terms of wildlife viewings, both of our two guides were simply beyond incredible. I had a lot of meaningful conservation related conversations with them and their pure love for the bush was reflected on every single game drive. Ian was with us for the longest. This person truly knows the national parks like his backyard:) I had no doubt from the beginning that I was gonna see a lot of cheetahs but when we were at Serengeti, it was almost two to three different sightings of cheetahs EVERYDAY!!! I’m always impressed with Ian’s skill to find the most memorable sightings and be as close as we could to witness everything yet creates a comfortable space between us human and the animals!! This is what I consider an ethical guide with professionalism! The sightings gets better and better everyday that it’s just too hard to pick the most memorable one:) It’s definitely worth considering visit there during the off peak seasons as for most sightings, we were the ONLY vehicles beside the animals!! We even got to see the migration^o^ if I could retake my safari, I would stay even longer!
In short, I’m forever grateful that I met Jessica and Ian 2 years ago! If you want to create a lifetime memory in Africa be it honeymoon or casual vacation, look no further than dancing zebra! You’ll definitely be in good hands with this knowledgeable, wonderful team of people!
I look forward to go on safari with them very soon! Asante Sana Team dancing zebra

No attention, bad material, bad hotel
We paid 1000 euros more than the price!!! No refund because Wecam safari and especially Mercy are not honest. They keep your money and give you bad hotels. Don’t take the bad company. Our vehicle was not able to do the trip, the driver was not French , as we paid and the hotel are so so fad, immigration people..they are not professionals and not honest.

Amazing Safari experience!!!
I did a 10 day Safari with Big Apes Africa and the trip is one of my best life experiences. As much as the gorillas were amazing, other big safari animals were beautiful too for example the leopard. This animal is special!
Everything was well organized with a great sense of detail and our guide Moses was professional, friendly and funny!
Thank you for the perfect trip!

Loved the Equator Experience!
Great communication from the very beginning. Everything explained and clear. We did the Equator visit. What a fun experience!!! You get to stand on the Equator line, watch a live presentation how the water rotates in different directions depending if you stand in southern or northern hemisphere, and you can get a certificate that you’ve crossed the Equator (for a small fee). We’ll be back for more adventures. Definitely gorilla tracking.

The big 5 in 4 overwhelming days
My husband and I went on safari for our honeymoon and are still overwhelmed. We saw the Big 5 right on the second day. Our friendly and experienced guide Jonathan told us a lot about the wildlife, gave us insider tips and knew every place incredibly well. He gave us a very pleasant trip with his authentic, friendly and yet professional manner. We could always say where we would like to stop and watch the animals and we got the time we needed. We saw sooo many animals in 4 days. I think even pretty much all there is to see at Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. In this few days we just could switch off our mind and enjoy our honeymoon to the fullest. We can absolutely recommend Explorer Kenya and hope to come back soon :) thanks for everything Jonathan!

The organization of Fadhili Mtei is excellent.
We had a wonderful holiday in Tanzania. When climbing Kilimanjaro we were very warmly and competently cared for. The guides Peter and Inecent understand their job and are very concerned about our wellbeing. The whole team with chef and waiter was wonderful. Not to be forgotten are the porters, without whom the ascent would have been impossible for us, they deserve our special thanks.
Kili was able to show us a lot of animals on the safari, including the big five. His knowledge was great, he could have told us a lot more. It is a unique experience to see wild animals in the wild and not locked up in a zoo. Our holiday was prepared and coordinated by Fadhili Mtei. There was no problem, everything was organized perfectly.
We can highly recommend Marangu Treks & Safaris.
If you want a trip with no unpleasant surprises but with many highlights, then Fadhili is the place for you.
I wish the whole team only the best.

Unforgettable Chobe River Front, Savuti area and Khwai Concession mobile camping safari
This safari is one I will never forget. The Botswana scenery and wildlife we experienced in Chobe and the Khwai Concession was amazing. Everything was already green after the first rains. But we didn't have any rain during the trip at all. The green trees, bush and grass made the experience even more delightful. And we still saw huge amounts of wildlife. I really fell in love with the birdlife on this trip too. In just 4 days we saw many lions, leopards on a kill, large herds of elephants, a big variety of birds, hippos, crocs and even painted dogs! And much much more like the beautiful lechwe, many young animals too and the national bird of Botswana the corey bustard. This place is unique on earth.
Our guide, Ranger, was amazing. He really knew what he was talking about. He was a good driver which showed while navigating difficult roads carefully and his approach to wildlife. I've been on quite a few safaris and I can safely say this guy is on top of his game.
The team of Xaa also provided much better tents then I expected, which were large and airy. The addition of a private bathroom was excellent. Our chef really knew what she was doing too. She turned out lovely food in camp every single time. It's amazing how the friendly staff move this full camp and set it up in all new locations deep in the bush every time. Just jump out of the well built Toyota Land Cruiser after an amazing day on safari and grab a cold drink. Take a seat in your private camp under the Botswana sky where the Xaa team takes good care of you. You can't get a better bush experience and still enjoy comfort like this, I think.
On our last night all travel companions gathered around the campfire. We had created so many memories in only four days together, it made me feel very thankful. We shared memories and stories by the fire. Xaa means fire, so a very fitting end.
