Incredible experience in Tanzania
We recently finished an incredible six-day safari with Willie and his company, Serengeti Wilderness Calls, and it was truly one of the best experiences of our lives. Our group of seven, including five adults and two children (ages 10 and 7), traveled through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti, and the entire trip was handled with the utmost professionalism. We approached Willie directly on the recommendation of my father-in-law, who had him as a guide 11 years ago, and we found the planning process to be seamless and very well-organized. The lodges and tented camps were all excellent, and the food was high-quality throughout the trip. Willie and his wife, Flora, were incredibly attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed and adapting perfectly to the needs of the children, including being very patient with frequent stops. What truly set this experience apart was Willie’s guiding style. His deep knowledge of the area and professional communication with other guides allowed us to see things we are certain others missed. Furthermore, he is exceptionally respectful of the environment; he always positioned the vehicle with great care to ensure we had a clear view without ever disrupting the animals' natural movements. One member of our group, who has been on three previous safaris in both Kenya and Tanzania, noted that Willie was by far the best guide they have ever had. If you’re thinking of booking with them, please do, you will not be disappointed and we can highly recommend them.

Great lions
Our six-day journey with great lions safaris was truly unforgettable because everything was organized perfectly, starting with the powerful murchision falls where the water crashes through the rocks,moving to queen Elizabeth national park where we saw amazing lions and hippos during our drives, and ending with the incredible experience of hiking through the thick forest of Bwindi to spend time with mountain Gorillas. Our guide was very friendly and knew exactly where to find the animals, our vehicle was strong enough for the bumpy roads, and the lodges where we slept each might where comfortable and beautiful making us feel safe and happy throughout the entire trip across Uganda if you want to see the best wildlife and beautiful landscapes while being treated like family, highly recommend booking with this company because they made sure every moment of our safari was easy exciting and full of wonderful memories

Very peaceful day with Kaka.
Our Lake Manyara day trip was not only peaceful but also very memorable day. We really enjoyed the day with Agama Tours and Safaris. Kaka was wonderful and he helped us make our day special. The park has a unique atmosphere, with tall trees, lush vegetation, and open lake views. We saw large elephant herds, playful baboons, and graceful giraffes during our drive. Bird life was everywhere, adding color and sound to the experience. We recommend the day trip & the Agama team.

Unforgettable Rwanda safari with Hermosa and guide Danny – safe solo travel, Big Five, gorillas.
This trip exceeded my expectations, largely thanks to my driver-guide Danny. As a solo traveler, I’d rate the overall wildlife experience a 10/10 and truly recommend it to anyone.
Danny picked me up directly from the airport, and we headed first to Akagera National Park to look for the Big Five. He went above and beyond to show me every corner of the park, to find all the animals I hoped to see (especially the leopard), and to answer all of my questions. His knowledge of wildlife and the park itself is incredible.
I also want to highlight how safe I felt during the long drives with Danny. He drove carefully, never speeding or taking risks in curves, and he constantly checked in about my wellbeing, including photo stops, bathroom breaks, and food stops.
After two days in Akagera, we drove to Musanze near Volcanoes National Park for the gorilla trekking experience. Danny and the Hermosa team had already secured all my permits and arranged hotels according to my preferences. Each morning, he picked me up on time and made sure I got everywhere I needed to be. The gorilla trekking was the absolute highlight of my trip, closely followed by a fantastic day seeing golden monkeys.
On the way back to Kigali, I had some time before my flight, and Danny even organized a brief city tour. He showed me some of the best viewpoints over Kigali and shared insights about the city, which was the perfect way to end the trip.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Hermosa as a tour company—and especially my driver-guide Danny—for anyone wanting an unforgettable trip.

Friendly, patient, helpful
With Emmanuel we did the Materuni waterfall and coffee making tour and I would highly recommend it!
The waterfall is magnificent. The hike is not difficult, 45 mins. And then the lunch and coffee making with the locals is a really uniqe experience.
The tour was well organized, I got every informations on time and our guide was on time, kind, patient and helpful.

Hassan is Best of the Best!!!!
Thanks to Hassan, we were lucky enough to see the Great African Five, which made this safari even more extraordinary and unforgettable.
This safari was truly the best way we could have spent our time. Hassan was simply the best — a perfect driver, an outstanding guide, and a genuinely wonderful person. His deep knowledge, sharp eye, and passion for what he does allowed us to experience wildlife in the most authentic and exciting way.
He made us feel safe, relaxed, and fully immersed in the beauty of nature. Every moment was filled with awe and joy. We will definitely come back and choose Hassan again without any hesitation.
Thank you so much, Hassan, for everything. This experience will stay in our hearts forever ❤️

a first class service built on knowledge and intelligence
Justin is an incredible guide. he is so knowledgeable and passionate in his craft. I was constantly amazed that he would spot animals in the distance whilst driving around the serengeti. In relation to that, he is a great driver and also knows the best spots to stop for lunch and where the best views are. Justin also put up with and answered my various questions over the week. the lunches were also very nice. top marks!
Serengeti smiles were also incredible in the planning of the trip before we left and we are grateful to Patricia for that. the organisation knows all of best places to stay and we thought the value for money was excellent. thanks so much!

Exceptional Big 5 safari. Amazing lodges & Witson is an incredible guide!
Our experience with Serengeti Wakanda was exceptional from start to finish. Goodluck was incredibly patient during the planning phase, working closely with us to craft the perfect luxury itinerary.
The true standout was our guide, Witson. He made us feel relaxed and at ease from Day 1. As someone who easily gets car sick, I was incredibly impressed by his driving - his style was so smooth and superb that I didn't feel sick once! His expertise is unmatched; he found the Big 5 within six days, including rare sightings like a lion mating ritual and a leopard with its kill. Witson’s kindness and deep knowledge truly made the trip.
The luxury accommodations were superb, particularly Nyuki Migration Camp, which exceeded all expectations. We would book with Serengeti Wakanda again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to everyone. We strongly encourage you to request Witson as your guide for the best possible experience!
