Unforgettable An unforgettable experience from beginning to end! Our safari with Hola Africa was absolutely fantastic, and we enjoyed every single moment of it. We would especially like to thank Hamza and Shija for making this adventure so special. Hamza was an excellent guide: knowledgeable, approachable, professional, and always happy to share interesting information about the wildlife. His excellent English made everything easy to understand and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Shija was an outstanding driver, showing exceptional driving skills and a great understanding of the terrain. Together, they made a fantastic team. They were always attentive, stayed with us throughout the safari, and somehow managed to get us to the best viewing spots before anyone else whenever a new animal was spotted! Thanks to their experience, dedication, and great teamwork, we had the opportunity to see an incredible variety of wildlife up close. It was much more than just a safari – it was a truly memorable adventure. We can wholeheartedly recommend Hola Africa to anyone planning a safari. And if you are lucky enough to have Hamza as your guide and Shija as your driver, you are in excellent hands! Thank you for an amazing experience. We will definitely remember this adventure for many years to come!

Absolutely recommended! Wilson was a great guide who showed and taught us amazing things with a lot of wit and knowledge. The car was very well cushioned, the paths sometimes a bit bumpy. Lunch was good and sufficient. The flight from Zanzibar was very entertaining at 45'. In the park, you can see four of the Big Five (no rhino). We were lucky enough to be able to see three of them. The wildlife there is diverse and easy to observe. A very successful tour, also thanks to Wilson.

An incredibly great experience! We had a wonderful safari with Wilson as a guide and I can recommend him with all my heart! He explained an incredible amount to us and provided a lot of interesting information about the wildlife. Furthermore, he drew our attention to a multitude of animals that we might not have discovered at all without him. It was especially great that Wilson spoke German very well, so that I could understand everything wonderfully. He is not only very competent professionally, but also incredibly likable, warm, and humorous. With his great and relaxed manner, he made the safari a very special experience. You notice immediately that he loves his work and is involved with a lot of passion. I felt completely comfortable, learned a lot, laughed a lot, and enjoyed every minute.

1 day Safari Trip Excellent trip Guide was Ashtides who was friendly, knowledgable and took time to ask us what animals we were hoping to see and then did his best to find them We had time to take photos without rushing Whilst there were lots of jeeps in the national park it was never busy or crowded. We really did just observe the animals in their natural habitat - fantastic

An unforgettable safari thanks to an exceptional team! 🐘🦁🌍 We would like to sincerely thank the entire agency team for this magnificent safari, which will undoubtedly remain one of our best memories of this trip. Everything was perfectly organized, from beginning to end. Every detail had been thought out so that we could fully enjoy this extraordinary experience, without having to worry about anything at all. The lodge was superb, the setting magnificent, the services impeccable, and the food absolutely delicious. Everything was there to make our stay as comfortable as it was exotic. But we especially want to send a huge thank you to our guide J, nicknamed "Chouchou," who largely contributed to making this adventure so exceptional. Much more than a simple guide, Chouchou was a true human encounter. Remarkably professional, passionate about his work, always attentive, available, punctual, and very kind, he knew how to help us discover the wonders of nature with an impressive knowledge of animals and their environment. Thanks to his experience, his sharp eye, his patience, and his good humor, each day was a new discovery, rich in emotions, wonder, and moments of sharing. We particularly appreciated his kindness, his sense of service, and this ability to put us at ease while constantly looking out for our well-being. He went well beyond our expectations and truly made all the difference. A big bravo to the agency for the quality of its organization and for the choice of its collaborators. It is thanks to people as passionate and invested as this that one transforms a beautiful trip into an unforgettable experience. We are leaving with our eyes full of images, our heads full of memories, and immense gratitude. A thousand thanks again to the whole team, and especially to our wonderful Chouchou, whom we will not forget anytime soon! We recommend this agency with our eyes closed and sincerely hope to have the opportunity to relive such a beautiful adventure by your side.

Une expérience incroyable au parc national de Mikumi en Tanzanie ! 🦁🦒🦓 Nous avons passé une journée exceptionnelle avec notre guide Elisha Koinange. Il était vraiment adorable, très professionnel, à l’écoute et surtout passionné par son métier. Il a pris le temps de nous expliquer plein de choses sur les animaux et de répondre à toutes nos questions. Nous avons eu la chance de voir énormément d’animaux : des lions, des zèbres, des girafes, des singes et bien d’autres encore. Les paysages du parc sont magnifiques et voir tous ces animaux dans leur environnement naturel était vraiment magique. 🥹❤️ Un grand merci à Elisha pour cette magnifique journée et pour avoir contribué à rendre notre safari aussi inoubliable. Nous recommandons cette expérience à 100 % et si vous avez la chance d’avoir Elisha comme guide, vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés ! 🦁🌍✨

FELIX, seni unutmayacağız kardeşim. Bir Safari turuna katılan en şanslı kişileriz. Dünyanın en eğlenceli, en güleryüzlü rehberi ile safari yapmak muhteşemdi. Turun başından sonuna kadar bizim memnuniyetimiz için elinden geleni yaptı. Bize bütün hayvanları gösterebilmek için mücadele etti ve başardı. Organizasyonun başında sonuna kadar da bütün operasyonu başarıyla yöneten şirkete de sonsuz teşekkürler. Mikumi'de safari yapmak çok güzel bir deneyimdi.

An Unforgettable Safari with Aristides 🦁🌍 Our one-day fly-in safari with Hola Africa was an absolutely incredible experience — and a huge part of that was our wonderful personal guide, Aristides. Aristides is an exceptionally experienced, attentive and enthusiastic guide. He seemed to have his eyes and ears everywhere, constantly watching and listening for the next exciting sighting. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see an amazing variety of wildlife: lions, zebras, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, buffalos, elephants, impalas and wildebeest. Every encounter was special and unforgettable. What we appreciated most was his patience and understanding of our passion for photography. He always gave us plenty of time to take photos and videos, while making sure we also had enough time to simply put the camera down and enjoy these incredible animals with our own eyes. He knew exactly when we were ready to move on without ever making us feel rushed. Aristides also shared an incredible amount of knowledge with us. His explanations, stories and insights gave us a much deeper understanding of the animals, their behaviour and the African wilderness. And the wonderful African hot lunch in the middle of this unforgettable day was the perfect addition. ❤️ This was so much more than just a safari — it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget. We are incredibly grateful to have had Aristides as our guide and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a truly exceptional safari experience. Thank you, Aristides, and thank you Hola Africa, for an absolutely magical day! 🐘🦒🦁❤️ HAKUNA MATATA - ASANTE SANA

We had a great experience and highly recommend Aristides, who gave us a marvelous trip in Mikumi National Park. We saw a lion and lioness, buffaloes, crocodiles, elephants, giraffes, zebras, impalas, warthogs, baboons, and elands. We enjoyed it very much and got incredibly close to the animals. Aristides was highly knowledgeable and caring, and the drive was very smooth. You can truly tell he loves his job. Thank you again!
