Great safari experience
The guide, the cook, the car, the camping, the communication with Nelson was all great and we had an amazing time in this 3 days. We saw all the animals from very near and even had a leopard night experience in the camp when he was strolling around. Thanks for everything!

Excellent
It’s hard to put into words everything we experienced during this trip! It was thrilling, eye-opening and relaxing all at once! If we previously thought that we have some kind of an understanding how life is like there, down below, in Africa, then looking back, we must admit, we didn’t know much!
Our tour was put together by Ene Lepp and Siafu Safari. Our trip had a good rhythm, and everything was very well thought through. We got good quantities of nature as well as culture.
Our adventure started with visiting Nkoaranga and Aker village – places that are connected with Evald Ovir, an Estonian missionary in Tanzania in the end of the 1800s. After this we visited the national parks – Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. And while everything else was amazing, then the national parks were the highlight of our trip. We saw a leopard lazily eating his prey on top of a tree. We saw a lion catch a zebra. We saw the baby grazers barely on their feet and their moms teaching them their first steps. And yes, we got lucky and managed to see The Big Five – lion, leopard, black rhino, elephant, and buffalo.
In between of visiting different parks we had a chance to get more familiar with the culture of the local tribes and different villages. We visited the Masai, Tatoga and Bushman tribes and saw how they live, how they hunt (Bushmans), how they cook, what they eat and how they dance. This hunting bit might have been the most shocking for some of us! But we also saw how they live in local villages, in Mto wa Mbu and in Babati. Some why though all those village visits ended up with tasting local beer We also spent a few days in Mwansa – a town on the border of Lake Victoria. There we again had a great chance to learn how one of the biggest tribes – Sukumas – lived and are living today.
Our trip ended with the real relaxing part in Zanzibar. But as it’s hard to just stay 7 days laying under the sun, we did have some nice experiences there as well – we went snorkeling, visited a spice farm and went to see the giant turtles. This was definitely the highlight of Zansibar!
Big big thanks for everybody for making this happen – Ene, Emmanuel, Francis and the whole Siafu team.

Serengeti Wakanda tours and Safari
Thank you so much for this incredible trip. Just by chance did we choose this budget company and how lucky we were. Felix, our great guide who knows a lot about all the animals, knew all birds as well and was always motivated to look for animals, show us the best places and most days we left very early as in sunrise and came back late. Very carefull driver with respect for the animals. Our cook Idrissa was just the best. Although is english is not the best, he made sure we had 3 very good meals a day. He made fresh bread and or pancakes for breakfast, we had fruits, vegetables, meat and if you have a diet or don’t like something, it’s no problem.
The company is very professional, very quick to response. If you have your own overland car, you can leave it at their company, no space for big trucks though, we left ours at a hotel (karibu heritage hotel). They pick you up, in time and they will make sure you have a great time. We did a 6 day, 5 night trip. We loved Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. We slept 2 nigths in the good Fig tree lodge and 3 nights in good tents with sleepingbag, matrass and pillow provided. Bring soms warm clothes for Ngorogoro camp. If I would do it another time, i would leave out Manyara national park, no flamingo’s (but did see them in serengeti) for years since the flooding.
In our trip we saw 2 cheeta’s killing a male impala, we saw the migration of the wildebeast and zebras looking for water, we saw a leopard that lost his prey and got it back, more than 50 lions, i don’t know how many elephants, it was just more than geat. So thank you!!!!!

An Unforgettable Experience
We were given Kathi Simons name as we were planning our trip to South Africa and Victoria Falls. She is knowledgeable, organized and a delight to work with. Our trip took us to several stops and they were all well planned with great guides. Our group of 8 thanks Kathi for giving us the experience we wanted and more!

Commitment and service delivery at its best!
We took a 6 day safari covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli national park. The tour was well planned by Charles and executed by Jared our guide. We managed to see all the big 5 both in Mara and Amboseli among other predators and grazers. We also saw hippo and crocodiles at Mara river. Jared knew the best routes to warrant sighting of of the wildlife. His sense of humour was amazing and he was always patient with us. Salina Wild Adventures did a commendable job. Highly recommended.

Very lovely people, all of them, worth it
Jimmy was our tour guide and he was amazing, very skilled and helpful. We were glad to have him he got us through easily even in the rain with slippery roads and we got to see so many animals all the big five and we even got to see an actual hunting by lions.
The people at the camp were just as amazing and were very caring so we could have a comfortable stay. Would recommend without a thought.

1 day Tsavo tour was excellent
The booking was quick and efficient. Good communication all the way.
Driver was punctual and friendly. Vehicle was a proper safari Landcruiser.
We were lucky enough to see pretty much all the animals we could hope for. Lots of very close encounters including lions and a cheetah.
Lunch was delicious, served by a watering hole filled with elephants and many other animals.
Overall a very highly recommended tour.

Organisers of the perfect safari in Kenya!
Booked a bespoke package with Tazama to spend 1 night in Leopard Hill Camp (Naibosho Conservancy) followed by two nights in Entim Camp (Massai Mara).
Antony was very patient with us prior to booking whilst we went through various options and decisions. Upon arrival, Tazama did not disappoint.
In Naibosho, our fantastic guide John bent over backwards to deliver a perfect game drive experience in the conservancy (providing a perfect location for sundowners, and also facilitating a night drive). He was extremely knowledgable, an excellent driver in difficult terrain, and made us feel very welcome.
The staff back at the Leopard Hill Camp itself were very accommodating - the view was second to none, as was the food. I would not hesitate in recommending anyone to stay any period of time in this camp.
As we moved into the Mara, we swapped guides for Jack, an equally fantastic guide, for the duration of our stay. Again, he was extremely well versed in the terrain and all the facts anyone would want to know about any of the animals.
Our in the Mara, Entim Camp, was similarly impressive - all staff (in particular Mary!) made us feel welcome and like nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend staying here due to its proximity to the Mara River (particularly useful for Great Migration season).
Would easily recommend using Tazama again: the only thing I would add is that overcommunicating to upcoming guests about their itineraries (mostly particulars in relation to domestic flights if they are part of a package) would help really provide peace of mind.
