Good viewing - poor guiding
The booking process was easy and Thale was a pleasure to work with. Very accommodating.
The accommodations were as advertised and decently comfortable.
It was on overall good value for a private tour, with food included and in those accommodations. I enjoyed the food, great cooking by Lungisani!
My problem and reason for 3/5 is the guides. I honestly don’t know if Isaac can see well enough to be guiding tours. He was knowledgeable when we spotted an animal, but he never saw them. Lungisani would spot all the animals and tell Isaac to stop (his driving wasn’t great either). On the 2 drives in which Lungisani didn’t come, Isaac didn’t even stop the vehicle once because he didn’t see anything (even though we did). Also he didn’t speak once to us. When they were both there, on the drives and at camp/during meals, they just spoke to each other in their own languages or were on their phones, which made it very awkward and uncomfortable for us. Very little conversation with us and getting to know each other. Although we saw lots of animals, and the park was incredible, the guides detracted from our experience a lot.
Overall, would I go back to Kruger? Yes, 100%. Would I use Wild planet safari? Possibly, but it would totally depend on who the guides were. Service levels while spending 5+ full days with someone needs to improve drastically.

A priceworthy budget safari in Masai Mara with an really good guide and service.
I always got a quick respons on my emails and have always been treated good. Evans was a really good and friendly guide. He was found of making it a great experiance and that everyone was happy. It also was good cars and service.
I really enyojed my safari experiance. Evans was able to show me the big five and many other amazing animals during the safari. I went on the tour as an alone woman and Evans always made me feel safe.
I liked it in Masai Mara so much. Axis extended my stay for one more day in last minutes without any hesitation or problem.
I would definitly recommend this operator.

Great tour with a great guide!
Overall it was a five star safari. We didn't really know what to expect. I've lived in Tanzania for three years, but this was my first safari. I don't know what I was waiting for! We saw all the big animals. I don't know why, but I really wanted to see hyenas and was not disappointed. Be sure to check out Smile With Us tours!

Trip of Lifetime - Great Experience in Tanzania
We did a four-day-safari in Tanzania in March, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara.
After long researches I found African Savannah Trekkers and after the first contact to Maureen we were sure to book this trip with her.
Maureen answered all our questions, told us every detail of the trip and at the end we were really overwhelmed by this safari.
Everything was perfect - we stayed at the Hhando Coffee Lodge and the Seregenti Heritage Luxury Tented Camp and both were the right choice. Perfectly organized from the beginning to the end, very nice people, great food etc.
The evening after the safari Maureen even called us to check, if everything was satisfactory for us.
In comparison to other Safari Agencies the price-performance was also the best, and it's worth every Dollar/Euro anyway.
Many thanks again to Maureen and her team, we just can recommend African Savannah Trekkers to everyone. :-)

Excellent, wonderful experience!
We did a Safari for 5 days with their driver Frank! He was extremely knowledgeable and gave us such a great tour filled with information about all the wildlife he really knew everything! It was a once in lifetime experience which was not met with any disappointment, he went out of his way to make sure we saw the big 5 (unfortunately the leapord was being stubborn) but we saw much more than we could of expected!
Also the food was beyond expectations, between packed and hot lunches and the evening meal we were never hungry and the food was delicious, always something different every day!
Thank you for an amazing trip !

Beyond our expectations!
Wow! What an experience!! We booked 5 days safari trip with Hekima and the trip was beyond out expectations. Jackson and the guys did a really nice job, everyone was really helpful and friendly. Before safari, we stayed in Hekima house and enjoyed the hospitaly of the stuff and great food they provide. Our safari guide Manu did a wonderful jub, providing us with interesting information and showing us all the animals we expected to see. Overall it was an amazing experience, I would 100% recommend Hekima to everyone. Thanks for everything and hope to see you again!!

Excellence at best, undoubtedly parked with experience; every worker there knows his/her existence
Activities and schedules on point; they got flair. The service provided by the tour guides was out of this world, they outdid what I had expected; they are highly professionalls, full of warmth and love and they really know their jobs. The environment itself gave out its beauty of animals, birds and trees, it was an awesome experience.
