I had an amazing experience with Kennedy, my guide from Heart of Serengeti. He knows everything about nature and explained everything extremely well. He delivered an amazing service, taking me to the most beautiful and iconic parks in Tanzania, where I was amazed with the animals I had the opportunity to see. He is an excellent and safe driver, a charismatic person and made sure the experience was unforgettable. Definitely will come back for another safari. Top safari operator and top person! jose luis m2024-12-26Verified Unforgettable Definitely the best option to go on safari to Tanzania!!!! Kennedy is the best guide of Tanzania, patient and with a lot of knowledge of the fauna and vegetation of the country, he knows perfectly the parks and everyone, thanks to that the other guides call him when there are some interesting animals, lions eating, etc... in just 5 days we have seen a small hunt, two packs of lions eating, leopard, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes , rhinos and the rest of Tanzania animals!!! On this trip we were two families with children with two cars, in the other car the guide was called Said, charming and also with a lot of knowledge of wild animals. Unforgettable experience!!!! Recommended 100% Olaf Korpel2024-10-04Verified Very impressive safari! We can highly recommend this travel agency. This is the first time we did a safari and we were not sure what to expect. Therefore, this trip left a deep impression on us, it was great! We were very lucky to have Kennedy as Guide. He is very experienced, if there are animals to be seen somewhere he knows where to find them. Also because he has a huge network of friendly guides. Kennedy tries very hard to put his car in the best possible position to see the animals well. He has a great knowledge of the animals and their environment, he is very social and he really does his best for you. I had a stomach problem for a few days and wanted to cut the trip short. Kennedy suggested we see a local doctor first and await his verdict. The doctor examined me and prescribed me pills, after which I was able to finish the safari. I am very grateful to Kennedy for this! He is also a very reliable driver and able to remedy this in the event of a breakdown with the car (also with other guides). Antonio2024-06-27Verified The best Safari guide, the best person. The best guide, the best expert in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire is without a doubt Kennedy. An outstanding professional and an excellent person. Since we met him on our Safari, he is another member of our family.He clearly made the difference.
