Wonderful safari
I have no words to describe how incredible this experience was. 5 days unforgetable. We got to see all the big 5 and many more. Our drivers/guides were very good to spot the animals and were always helpfull. Food was also good and overall the safari well organised.

A fantastic and unforgettable experience
Could not fault this tour in the slightest. We chose the three day tour and in that time saw both a sunset and sunrise, a hunt, lion cubs and 4/5 of the big 5. The bed was comfy, we got to eat Kenyan food provided by the camp, and our own bathroom. It was an amazing experience and could not recommend this Safari enough. Richard, our driver was amazing and had an immense amount of knowledge about the Masai Mara, making sure we didn’t miss a moment. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Exceptional!
What truly made our journey remarkable with Hekima Safaris was the sense of camaraderie that blossomed among fellow travelers. Laughter, storytelling, and shared experiences forged lasting bonds that will extend beyond the trip itself. Hekima Safaris became the catalyst for an authentic connection among our travel companions, creating a warm and inclusive environment throughout the entire journey. I highly recommend Hekima!

Kenya and Rwanda safari
May 2023
We just returned from a 12 days Kenya Safari and Rwanda Gorillas tour. From the very start of planning, Levis was prompt and very detail oriented in his suggestions for our itinerary. From the time that we landed in Nairobi, our guide Richard was there with us while we were in Kenya. He drove us to 4 different parks in Kenya: Amboseli park, Aberdare park, Lake Nakuru and finally the Masai Mara. In each park he drove us around on Safari. We saw all of the big 5 and hundreds of other animals. The highlights were seeing two separate lion prides hunting prey and having a leopard walk within feet of our vehicle. Richard was extremely pleasant and prompt and was very skilled in finding animals and providing information regarding points of interest. We then flew to Rwanda and were picked up by Max. We visited the Genocide Memorial in Kigali and then were driven to Volcanos National Park. We had a great trek to visit the mountain gorillas the next day. We spent a wonderful hour with a family of 18 gorillas.
Our accommodations were top notch and we were treated wonderfully. We were very happy with Hallmark Travel Planners and Levis in planning and implementing a great trip

Knowledgeable
It was incredible to see the animals up close. I would have loved to have been able to stay a bit clpser toward evening as in the day it is so unlikely to be able to see any of the cats. The safari did not really consist of two different game drives broken up by lunch, it was one longer one, quick lunch, then driving through the park towards home. I trust the guide in that it was probably the best option in terms of seeing the most animals and indeed our group seemed to see most. But if there was an option for late afternoon/evening safari I’d happily take that too. The guide was very sharp and clearly a complete expert, effortlessly identifying animals and tracks. The lunch was alright. Overall amazing experience and would do it again.

Thoughtful
I’d describe the tour guide as thoughtful because it felt like he spent the first moments and interactions together getting an idea of who were and what we were like. From there, the trip seemed specially made for us. The conversations, the music we listened to, everything was to our liking and request. And the day was just FUN because of that.

INCREDIBLE!!!!
The best trip of my life! Moses the guide made the whole trip! I was just speechless the whole time. We went on a budget safari and it did not disappoint! The game drive was amazing. Moses got us so close to so many animals and knew so much information about each and answers to all our questions. He found us all the big 5 which was so lucky! We went to maasai Mara and lake Nakuru. The accommodations were basic but just what you need to put your head down after a full day safari! Moses had us the first in the park and last out! Also really enjoyed the Maasai village which I was surprised about! Making all my friends and family go on this tour. Will be back to see more of Kenya with Moses! Thank you again for an amazing experience
