    We recently return from a breathtaking safari organized by Nafika Tours, and every aspect of the experience exceeded our expectations. From the moment we reached out, communication with Elias was seamless. He patiently answered all our questions, helped us craft the perfect itinerary, and ensured we felt prepared and excited for the adventure ahead.

    Our guide, Ronald, was truly exceptional. His deep knowledge of wildlife, sharp eye for spotting animals, and warm personality made the safari even more special. Thanks to his expertise, we had the incredible opportunity to see all the Big Five up close moments we will cherish forever!

    The safari car was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a pop-up roof that gave us fantastic views during game drives. It was clear that Nafika Tours prioritizes both safety and client comfort.

    The accommodations were equally wonderful. The safari hotels were cozy, beautifully situated, and offered incredible views of the surrounding landscapes. Returning to such welcoming spaces after long days of adventure was a delight.

    And let’s not forget the food! From delicious hot lunches to hearty meals at the lodges, everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying—a perfect way to refuel after the excitement of the day.

    Thank you, Nafika Tours, Elias, and Ronald, for organizing this once-in-a-lifetime safari. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and passionate company to explore Tanzania with, Nafika Tours is the way to go!

    In the middle of nowhere there is a pool full of hippopotamus, and clean bathrooms, a snack and gift shack and friendly staff. Amazing experience, low prices, cold drinks

    What’s there to say? The Serengeti is heaven for all safari people and adventure travelers. My group and I loved every single moment. At first we weren’t sure how many nights we should spend and now after the trip I am happy that we opted fro 3 nights as it gave us enough time to explore the different regions. Everything was very well organized so that we go to see the northern Serengti and Grumeti region as well. We stayed at Kisura Tented Camp and Tanzania Horizon recommended to go for a guided walking tour which was a highlight of our safari.

    Incredible to see the wildebeest gathering, then getting worked up until they finally make the move and stampede into the river.

    Spectacular! We absolutely lived this place and it turned out to be the highlight of our safari as we saw a cheetah and were able to observe him for quite a long time as it was on the hunt. Our guide Sabas from Tanzania Horizon Safaris literally had eagle-eyes as he spotted him from super far away. We did not even see him with our binoculars until we came closer. We were all holding out breath as we got very close and it was truly unforgettable! Our guide told us that Grumeti is not on everyones safari list but if you have the chance it absolutely unique!

    We just finished our second trip to see the greatest migration of wildebeest take place in Northern Serengeti with the Wild Source and our trusted friend and guide, Fadhil Magoye. This annual event is unlike any book, picture or video can capture. The sounds, the smells, the frenzy, the sheer numbers are amazing to see.

    Nothing much to do in there. Passing by from national park to the other, stop for refreshments for 10 minutes. Few shaded chairs, one shop and many colorful lizards.

    Amazing experience. The view on the top is beautiful (lake, plain, bush etc.) We saw lots of animals, the pilot is great and you feed very safe. The breakfast at the end is very nice, all together, eating in the bush :) I highly recommend this company if you want to experience balloon !

    Miracle Balloon Safaris provided a brilliantly organised and memorable ballon safari over Ndutu and the Serengeti. The pilot was very professional and the whole experience was exceptionally well organised including the delicious breakfast afterwards.

    We had a wonderful 2-night stay at Sero Tented Camp. Despite being in the middle of the wilderness, which provides amazing access to wildlife and beautiful scenery, the camp is a very comfortable and enjoyable place to stay. It is well organized, with individual tents spreading out from the lounge and dining tents. Each tent has its own bathroom, including a flush toilet and hot shower, and a cozy bed. There was even wifi and power in the tents! The team is fantastic, producing hearty hot meals and helping you get safely to and from your tent in the dark. The animal sounds throughout the night added to the experience for me and I slept well. Highly recommend!
