Amazing, thoughtful, the best!
Kihindo tours was the best choice! As we saw other tour operators also, we were just beyond lucky to have chosen Kihindo. The car was comfortable, fridge worked perfectly, they organized everything we needed and we felt great. Lunches and dinners were amazing and also the bungalows we slept in. Isaya and our driver were the best team, they knew answers to each question we had and made us feel not like tourists but their guests. We are so thankful! Please choose them and you will not regret :) Also, Kihindo makes sure to answer via whatsapp really quickly before, during or after the tour :)

Life Changing Trip — Can’t wait to go again!
I cannot gush enough about this trip, everything from start to finish was seamless and perfectly done. The attention to detail is everything with this company right from the start when planning your fully custom itinerary to the moment your plane touch’s the ground, this company ensures you have the most enjoyable and relaxing experience.
If you want to experience Tanzania from first hand experience that knows the best accommodations, activities and safari spots this is your company. Not to mention the exquisite hot picnic lunches, maybe even more special with wine.
Heaven will not just be your guide/driver while you are in Tanzania, he will be your animal expert, cultural knowledge book and very own song singer. I swear Heaven some sixth sense when it comes to animals. The close encounters that we experienced while on our safari: elephants feet from the truck, a cheetah taking down a gazelle right before our eyes, a lion tackling a wart hog literally feet from the truck, a leopard sighting to name a few. I went on this trip with 4 other girlfriends, we never stopped laughing or having the best time of our lives. From the incredible sightings, to the breath taking accommodations and delicious food, we literally felt as if we were in heaven the entire time.
Going to Africa and going on a safari is something you may only do once in your life, so you want to ensure it is the absolute best time and experience you can have. I would trust none other than Heaven In Africa Safaris to entrust that you have the most incredible and memorable trip of a lifetime.
I highly recommend this company and cannot wait to go on another adventure with them.

Photography and Safari
I am an amateur photographer and all the safari was made for it, and I could not have been more satisfied and pleased. I did the eastern tour of Sipi falls, Jinja, Pian-Upe, and Kidepo. If you've read about Uganda, these destinations are less traveled and very interesting (I highly recommend this itinerary for nature photographers like myself). The guide, Mr. Chris, is an excellent, patient and expert driver, with an exceptional ability in spotting wildlife and knowledge about wildlife, and he is friendly and very pleasant person.
Coleb (the owner) was our contact person at office, he's so friendly and he contained alot of my questions. He is fast in his replies and always asks if you have more questions :)). The lodges were exceptional too! If you are looking for something peaceful, quiet and intimate, then book with Standard Safaris

Top People, Top Company, Top Experience!
From start to finish, the whole experience was simply sublime!
I accidentally got in contact to look for transport from Nairobi to one of the parks. Kenya had recently gone into lockdown and information was patchy at best as to what we could and couldn't do. I called Sunworld Safaris...
I had the pleasure of connecting with Jonina who from the get-go was epically helpful. She knew of the local situation and was able to advise with great accuracy.
It lead to her kindly suggesting a number of spots we could access and lodges we could stay at with special passes that Sunworld would organize with the local government on our behalf.
The recommendations were brilliant and competitive, so we ended up with a car for the week and headed to the main stay at Sanctuary Olonana in the Maasai with legend driver and guide Newton Kongo who was so much more!
In life, we only (ideally) get engaged once! @Sunworld Safaris, you were a big part of that day and it shall be remembered forever!
Thank you Jonina - may your professionalism carry Sunworld Safaris even further!
Thank you Newton - a superstar you are and we'll see you in 15 years with the kids! We go back to Frédéric's Nakubali! :-)
Asante Sana!

Awesome Safari Experience
Just Awesome Trip!
From the point of our first communication with Narry (US office in Tampa) to the moment we made the weeklong safari booking Safari, everything was flawless.
The service was organized at a high level. Transfer from the hotel and back in a comfortable Land Cruiser for a long trip (8 days) in rough roads especially in the Serengeti and Tarangire.
Great organization. Very friendly and helpful staff.
I would highly recommend Good Earth Tours for safari in Tanzania.

To sum it up in some words: Cheap, Good, Informative, Hot, Unforgettable
We made great experiences with Kipok Africa on our trip to Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater on the second day. Our guide gave us a lot of information and had great eyes. He saw a lion I couldn't see very well threw my camera. The landscapes and the animals are amazing. You won't forget it! The weather was very hot in Tarangire NP in February. So the landscape was dry but still green. Enough water was provided to us and we had an amazing time. We saw hundreds of elephants. Over night we slept in socalled igloos. Good place to stay in the middle of nowhere. We went to Ngorongoro Crater on the next day and it was beautiful. A place that exists only one time on the earth. The only animal of the big five we didn't see on our trip was the leopard but this didn't change the amazing time we experienced. Your Driver/ Guide is very important because he/she tells you a lot of facts about the animals in their natural habitat. So don't forget to tip him at the end of your trip!
To sum it up - A trip with Kipok Africa is absolutely recommendable

Professional and friendly
I went for a 5 day safari trip, around Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater and Arusha National Park and more which was great.
The guides where friendly and professional. We had our own chef and delicious food. The guide communicated with other guides, so we got to see every thing. We had a sleep over at the crater, which I highly recommend. At evening wild elephants came to the camp to drink water.

Helpful and communicative, Emanuel goes above and beyond to meet needs and
From the beginning Emanuel was very quick to respond and answer questions. He was very flexible when my dates changed, welcomed me to Arusha with fresh watermelon, and helped take me to the hospital for COVID testing. Since it was a sharing safari during the low season, the tour itself was conducted by a different company called Suricata, which also did a great job. When I left some personal items in the hotel and safari vehicle, Emanuel helped make sure they were returned. Great service and prices!

Very nice and very welomed visit
In the first place we started to look visit to South Africa. But, after all comments we have heard from our friends decided not to go there. The next obvious alternative to visit Africa was Tansania. And then my wife Eve (yes, also Eve :) ) found a Facebook group leaded by Eve Lepp who was really helpful, offered us a travel plan and helped to adjust it to our willings. Safaris with Emmanuel were just to joy and really as mentioned already before in the comments he was able to spot animals already from the long distance. Not that we were not able to see them very close - lions were hiding from the sun in shade of our other car, we were driving thru the sebras, elephants and gnus packs very slowly and otherwise got very good comments around the surroundins. Especially I would like to point out the visit to Ngorongoro crater - it is really the place where you feel that Noah has opened his arc on there. No more comments, you just to have see that. And Eve's crue takes you there, also helping with everyday needs. For example, my baggage was somewhat lost on the way there and I got it a day later - but being in Africa without the shorts is somewhat a pain ;) So as a first thing in the morning they helped me to find a pair of suitable wearings :) Also, please pay attention to the local people outlook - always coloured, always shining clean and nice looking. And the conditions to wash clothes are almost unexisting :( Just amazing. We visited Cuba last year and expected something similar but no way - Tanzanians are much better on that.
However, what might a be little bit of minus that we don't recommend to stay in Stone Town on Sansibar for more than two days (there are much more nicer places to stay) - although it is world famous town to visit in that time you are able to see it all, visit the turtle island and eat in the night market. Otherwise it is noisy and you might need a hotel off the center because the noise from the street basically never stops and the windows are not isulated as you might think. But this is of course no minus to our travel organizer Eve because she did she's best. Recommended definitely.
