3 amazing days in Masai Mara - safari park with big fives and masai villages)
Our 3-days together with Toto Tembo driver/guide was something we couldn’t expect before our trip. All our dreams were fulfilled: we saw a lot of animals in different situations including all big fives. The driver was really professional and also with good humor of sense.

Perfectly organized and informative
It was a great experience! Tunu took care of everything from end to end. On safari day, hotel transfer was there right on time and took us to airport. After 30 min flight to Nyerere, our guide met us there and we got on the way. I am so grateful for his hospitality. He did his best to show every corner on the route. We saw every animal that comes to our mind. Elephants, giraffes, hippos, lions, hyenas, monkeys, crocodiles, impalas, boars, buffalos and many others. It is once in lifetime experience and I strongly suggest to take this tour to everyone visiting Zanzibar.

Jockey tours were easy to communicate with, clear about what the tour offered, and flexible. See
The tour operators where easy to communicate with, clear about the experiences available, and we're flexible to allow you to do exactly what you wanted. Cannot say enough about our tour guide that we spent every day with. Our guide, Johnny Jackson, was very knowledgable about every place we went and worked endlessly to get us the best experiences possible. Would highly recommend!

3 night, 4 day Budget Safari.
I attended a safari in September 2024, everything was well organised by Judith who was very quick at responding and informative about the safari process and itinerary. The safari itself was amazing, we saw all of the Big 5 over the 4 days and went into 3 different national parks. The guide Grayson and the Cook Passco were very friendly and professional. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I will be recommending Kilipath African Safaris to all my friends.

Very professional, the best one !
Having already used the services of this company, I decided to trust them again for a second safari in Tanzania. I was not disappointed! This time I wanted to focus on crossing the Mara River. The good thing about this company is that you will be given the right information: the crossing and the phenomenon of migration, only nature decides whether or not there will be a movement of animals. Unlike big companies that sell you a lot of publicity, the Rustic team explains and suggests itineraries where you will not fail to see the many spendors of Tanzania thanks to the experience and knowledge of the guides. They will do their best to meet your expectations. I was able to see animals up close during the walking safari in the Arusha National Park, families of lionesses in Ndutu, the splendors of the Serengeti in the dry season. I saw so many beautiful things there without ever worrying about anything. Everything is taken care of by the company. We had a problem with the car breaking down in the northern Serengeti. No worries or stress. I didn't have to wait for hours on the side of the road (as I've seen before) the guide, experienced and resourceful, quickly found a plan B. I was picked up and dropped off at the hotel, the next day I went for the hot air balloon ride as planned and when I returned, a new Rustic car was waiting for me to continue my safari where I had the privilege of seeing more than one crossing of the Mara.I split my time between 2 guides: Sylvester and Mudy. They are motivated to show you the maximum of what Tanzania has to offer and pass on their wealth of knowledge. They come from the region and are REAL guides. And that's what makes the difference. You want a good guide, it's essential to have an extraordinary experience. I can compare having done several safaris. A safari is the experience of a lifetime and you don't want to spoil it by not making a good choice. You will have a more personalized service unlike large mass companies. I recommend this company with my eyes closed, don't hesitate any longer! Tanzania is waiting for you!

Family safari and climbing mount kenya
Sam picked us up from the airport and took us to the Masai Mara for excellent game safari. He then took us on a route north including stop overs, to mount kenya, where he had arranged a friendly local team of guides, porters and cooks, to climb the mountain. Sam was very friendly, knowledgeable, kind, and drove a very well equipped safari truck (Land Cruiser). Highly recommend

Brilliant
The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is a jewel of the African wilderness, renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, diverse wildlife, and the legendary Great Migration. My recent safari experience in the Serengeti was nothing short of spectacular, especially in terms of spotting the "Big 5"—lions, leopards, rhinoceroses, elephants, and buffaloes.
### Arrival and First Impressions
Upon arriving at the Serengeti, the vastness of the savannah was awe-inspiring. The golden grasslands stretched endlessly, dotted with acacia trees and the occasional kopje (rocky outcrop) that provided stunning views of the surroundings. The air was filled with the sounds of wildlife, setting the perfect stage for an unforgettable adventure.
### The Big 5 Experience
1. **Lions**: Our first sighting was a pride of lions lounging under a shady tree. Watching these majestic animals interact was surreal. The cubs played while the adults kept a watchful eye on their surroundings. The guide shared fascinating insights into their behavior and social structure.
2. **Leopards**: Spotting a leopard in the wild can be challenging, but our guide’s sharp eyes led us to one resting on a tree branch, draped elegantly over a thick limb. Its spotted coat blended perfectly with the dappled sunlight, a moment to cherish.
3. **Rhinoceroses**: Although rhinos are not as commonly seen in the Serengeti compared to other parks, we were fortunate to encounter a few in the Ngorongoro Crater area, which is adjacent to the Serengeti.
4. **Elephants**: The herds of elephants were a highlight of our safari. We observed them interacting as family units, playing and protecting their young. Witnessing these intelligent animals in their natural habitat was something I will never forget.
5. **Buffaloes**: Large herds of African buffalo were often seen grazing across the plains, their massive horns and formidable presence making them an impressive sight. Our guide explained their social structures and the vital role they play in the ecosystem.
### Other Wildlife Encounters
In addition to the Big 5, the Serengeti is home to an incredible variety of wildlife. We encountered giraffes, zebras, hippos, and numerous species of birds. The sheer abundance of life made each game drive an exhilarating adventure. One evening, we witnessed a breathtaking sunset over the savannah, with silhouettes of wildlife against a vibrant orange sky.
### Conclusion
My safari in the Serengeti was a remarkable experience that exceeded all expectations. The opportunity to see the Big 5 in their natural habitat, combined with the stunning landscapes and rich biodiversity, made this trip one for the books. I left feeling a deeper appreciation for wildlife conservation and the beauty of our planet. Whether you're a seasoned safari-goer or a first-timer, the Serengeti offers an authentic, magical experience that is not to be missed, at a price that can’t be beaten anywhere.
