The best tour operator
Jackson and his staff are amazing. Very professional in organizing everything from the begin. They really knows how to take care of the customers which, in my opinion, is a primary target for the tour operators that works in East Africa. We had the chance to go up in the Kilimanjaro for our first five days and then we continued for a 5 nights Safari all over the parks in nothern circuit.
I would 100% recommend Hekima Safaris East Africa for your amazing experience #GoHekima

Super organized for our first safari
E Trip did a great job organizing our first African safari! I traveled with my older father, and it was both of our first times on safari so we really had no idea what to expect or what we wanted. E Trip was extremely responsive, answered all our questions, and put together an extensive tour for us in Tanzania. Our accommodations were beyond what we expected and the wildlife density we saw was amazing. E Trip had answers to all our questions about visas, Covid testing, and other entry requirements.
Our guide, Alladin, was also great. He had a ton of knowledge about all the animals we saw and was extremely respectful of the wildlife, which I really appreciated. Even when we were running late to get to our camp for the night he was always willing to stop and let us observe when we found something interesting. He was friendly, professional, and clearly enjoys his job.
Overall we had a great experience and I definitely recommend E Trip and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Amazingly responsive, flexible, and attentive to our requests and interests!
For over 2 years my wife and I worked with Megan at Discover Africa to assemble our dream safari itinerary. After some back and forth in 2019 we quickly realized that our dream trip was out of our budget so we held off for a year to make sure we could afford to take the exact trip we wanted. Megan was patient, checking in periodically, and was immediately responsive when we reinitiated the discussion in 2020. She provided recommendations to us from her personal experience and answered any and all questions we had. Once booked, payment was simple with an initial deposit and scheduled date for when payment would be due.
Then COVID hit. Throughout 2020 Megan continually checked in and provided the most updated information she could for the various countries we'd be visiting. Eventually we found out that due to COVID restrictions our October 2020 trip would have to be rescheduled. Within what felt like an instant, Megan already had the trip we originally designed rebooked and confirmed for 2021. Throughout 2021 we kept in touch and as the trip drew near Megan took charge on identify testing requirements and coordinating arrangement of tests for us.
During the actual trip, everything was seamless as Megan had arranged. The places she found for us were absolutely perfect for what we wanted. We felt completely prepared for what to expect, what to bring with us, local customs, etc. She provided her personal contact information in the event that we encountered an issue, which we did not. We've never been so sad for a trip to end! My wife and I both agreed that this trip felt more like a vacation than any other trip we've taken, and we owe it all to Megan and the Discover Africa team for their arrangements and assistance in booking and coordinating our dream safari.

An extraordinary experience
We had an amazing 5 days of family safari (4 adults and 3 children aged 7, 9 and 111)!
The organization was great! The accommodations were fantastic: beautiful and super comfortable! And delicious meals!
A huge THANK YOU to our guide Ombeni who made this experience unforgettable! A warm, caring, attentive guide, perfect with children. He gave us lots of explanations about Masai animals, vegetation, culture and history… and some basic knowledge of Swahili! We had the chance to meet leopards and cheetahs up close ... all the big 5 !!! What wonderful memories!
We loved our safari made it an unforgettable experience for the 7 of us!
A big thank you to Pendo for the organization and again a huge thank you to Ombeni, the best guide of the world according to our children!
I recommend 1000%

Outstanding Safari
Our family experience with Gosheni was simply fantastic. Having experienced several safaris over the last years with different compagnies, we can definitely say that Gosheni are outstanding and deserve their top ranking on tripadvisor. Everything was perfect. The organisational part handled by Pendo was very clear and professional. She provided us with very flexible cancellation conditions which gave us the confidence for going ahead with the reservation, which was crucial for us seen the pandemic situation. Now comes our driver, Ombeni, who simply made our family experience the best it could have been. He was fantastic with the kids aged 6, 8 and 11 and played around with them, but also talked about the wildlife with passion which witnesses his true loving of his job and the nature of his country. We miss him already.
Thanks to him we saw the big 5 with the unexpected moment of seeing two leopards struggling to get out of a heard of elephants, and 2 cheetahs climbing onto a car right in front of us !!
We wish Gosheni a long prosperous future and hope to come back soon.

Friendly, experienced, knowledgeable
Even though I am not in the habit of writing reviews, we had such an amazing experience with BigCats - and it was such a hassle finding a tour operator online - that I am happy to help future safari goers!
We went on a 5 day safari, visiting Lake Manyara, Tarangine, Serengeti and Ngoro ngoro. We opted for the private safari.
I would strongly recommend people to book a private safari since you will have the option to choose when to linger and when to go, have lunch and so on.
All was very well organized, we were picked up from the airport and driven around over the next 6 days. Our guide was very friendly and really knowledgeable when it came to the animals and information about them. He explained all the habitat and behavioral things to us.
During the entire trip everything was very well organized, food, drinks and hotels.
We would definitely book a safari through Big Cats again!

Tour operator was amazing and super knowledgeable
I booked the Tour from Miami. I Received a Quote. I agreed and made payment for down-payment. I had a few inconveniences as my flight was delayed and James was super helpful with accommodating our safari. We arrived in Arusha, and was greeted by the Driver Ruben. Ruben was on time and off we went to the start of our Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro and Serengeti tour. It was an absolutely perfect Experience and definitely would chose Twinkle Stars again. The Driver Ruben was amazing and super accommodating to our schedule and had an unbelievable knowledge of the serengeti.

Treated like friends, to make the safari a great experience
We met the agent in front of Hilton Hotel and followed him to the office. The team there understood directly what and how we want our Safari and made us the best offer, what beat even the offers from the internet.
Our 3 day camping safari was great, we were lucky and the only guest during that time in the camp, so it turned into a 5* camping...with own cook, campfire with the team and a quite environment.
We were also super lucky, to see a lot of animals, specially all big cats - and super close!
I have done some safaries, but this one was the best value for mobey.
Thanks Ann and the team!
