Perfectly organised event from collection to return at hotel. Minimal unnecessary waiting arround.

At the time of booking our hotel (Matemwe Altitude) had not opened but it was effortlessly simple to sort out later. They were quick to confirm booking and step by step to finalise the day via WhatsApp. The Safari was great and the guides worked hard to make sure we saw as much as possible and also very informative, totally dedicated and clearly enjoyed making a great day out for all.

Lekobe Adventures: Heart-led experts who found us the Big 5 and treated us like family.

A Dream Safari & Island Escape – The Ultimate Trip with My Best Friend! My best friend and I just returned from a trip with Lekobe Adventures Safaris, and we are still smiling! From start to finish, the level of care and personal attention we received was beyond anything we expected. A massive thank you to Jessica, who was the heart of our trip’s organization. She was even there waiting for us at the airport when we returned from our safari! Her efficiency is incredible—when we realized our initial hotel wasn’t right for us, she managed to relocate us to the Royal Beach Resort within a single hour. We loved it so much that we stayed there both before and after our safari. A special shout-out to Sifa at reception for her warm welcome and Grace at the bar for making our evenings so bright! The safari itself was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our guide, Philipe, was a fantastic driver and expert who made every game drive exciting—we were thrilled to successfully spot all of the Big 5! One of the absolute highlights was the Serengeti Balloon Safari organized by Jessica through Nyssan Balloon Safaris floating over the plains at sunrise was pure magic. We felt like royalty at the Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge. The lodge itself is breathtaking, with world-class amenities and views that take your breath away, but it is the staff who truly treat you like family. Augustus took such wonderful, personal care of us, and the F&B Director, Charles, ensured every meal was a delight. We loved that the Chef personally came to our table during meals to ensure we were happy, and we were touched when a waiter hand-picked a fresh grapefruit for our breakfast! The food was incredible, with all vegetables coming fresh from the lodge's own garden. Every day was filled with warm greetings from the staff and Masai women, and we loved the evening golf car rides back to our room. The highlight was our final night—they surprised us with a heartfelt farewell party and a cake, where the entire staff joined in to sing and dance for us. It was a truly moving experience. Finally, our time on Zanzibar was made so easy by Suleiman. He didn't just drive us; he accompanied us during all our activities, making sure we had everything we needed. If you want a trip where you are treated like family and every detail is handled with heart, book with Jessica and her team. We had the time of our lives! Pros: Jessica’s lightning-fast organization, always available and personal airport greeting. Philipe’s expertise in the National Parks. The Big 5! Spotted all of them thanks to Philipe’s expert eyes. Unforgettable Balloon Safari with Nyssan in the Serengeti. Exceptional hospitality from Augustus and Charles at Kilimamoja Lodge. The wonderful team at Royal Beach Resort, especially Sifa and Gloria. Suleiman’s constant support and companionship on Zanzibar.

Exceptional Safari Experience

We had the absolute pleasure of traveling with Lekobe for our Tanzania safari, and the entire experience truly exceeded our expectations. From the very first contact, communication was clear, professional, and highly responsive. What impressed us most was their quick reaction to itinerary adjustments and their flexibility whenever changes were needed. Every request was handled promptly and with genuine care — which made us feel completely supported and confident throughout the planning process. The itinerary was beautifully balanced, allowing us to experience Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro at the perfect pace. Our guide was exceptional — knowledgeable, patient, and deeply respectful of wildlife and nature. We were incredibly fortunate to see rhinos, leopards, cheetahs, lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, hippos, baboons, and even a serval cat. The lodges selected were authentic, comfortable, and perfectly located, adding to the overall magic of the journey. What truly sets Lekobe apart is their outstanding customer care. We felt safe, heard, and genuinely looked after at every step. Their professionalism combined with warmth made this journey unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend Lekobe to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, made seamless by an exceptional team.
