If you are looking for an authentic, deeply personal, and breathtaking safari experience in Tanzania, look no further than Lendimi Tours. As a small, local company, they provided a level of care, customization, and connection that a massive agency could never replicate. Our 10-day itinerary was flawlessly executed, taking us through Mkomazi National Park, Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and both the central and northern parts of the Serengeti National Park. The wildlife viewing was absolutely staggering. Thanks to expert tracking, we saw 42 lions, 2 leopards, 5 cheetahs, 2 black rhinos, 4 white rhinos, and countless numbers of elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, antelope, wildebeest, baboons, monkeys, jackals, hyenas, crocodiles and warthogs. We even witnessed the massive wildebeest migration. Beyond the jaw-dropping wildlife, Lendimi structured a beautiful cultural immersion. Visiting the Hadzabe, Datoga, and Maasai tribes provided a profound look into traditional ways of life. To top off an already unforgettable 10 days, we were deeply honored to be invited into the owner's family home. We shared a delicious traditional meal and planted trees together—a beautiful, sustainable memory we will cherish forever. What truly made this trip milestone-worthy was our driver and guide, Ima. He is the most caring, knowledgeable, and attentive guide you could ever ask for. He anticipated every need, shared his rich culture with us, and looked after us perfectly. We began the trip as clients, but we left considering Ima and his family our own family. We are already looking forward to our return. Do not hesitate to book with Lendimi Tours—they are the absolute best!

Our family of 4 went on a 10 day safari with Lendimi African Safaris, and it was an incredible experience. The booking process and pre-trip communication was very efficient and helpful to prepare us for our adventure in Tanzania. And our guide "Ima", Emmanuel, was amazing! Ima's cheer and positive approach to each day of the trip ( "don't worry be happy!") kept us laughing and having fun for 10 days, and Ima's knowledge of the animals, birds, trees and everything else natural is very impressive. Thank you Lendimi African Safaris and our guide Ima. We can't wait to return!

We traveled with Lendimi Safaris through Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and up into the Serengeti National Park and Lake Natron. Our Guides, PJ and Ima, were fantastic! They were knowledgable of the area and various tribes, incredible at spotting game from a distance and set up opportunities to meet with local tribes and learn more about their lifestyle and customs. They met our every request promptly. The Lendimi operation set up very comfortable lodges and tent camps for our stays and managed every aspect of the planning. In addition to the Safari drives, we also had a day on the Shira Plateau below Mount Kilimanjaro. It was a unique opportunity to experience hiking at altitude and visit one of the camps for the Kilimanjaro climb. Lendimi is a family operation with local guides, but I would rank it with the top guide companies in the area for this part of Tanzania.

We had a fabulous time. It was a very nice mixture of cultural days and safari days. Accommodations were great, the food very good and we loved our main guide PJ. We added it on time and Uganda to see the mountain gorillas. It was well worth it.
