LEKOBE ADVENTURES & SAFARIS

My best friend and I just returned from a trip organized by Lekobe Adventures Safaris, and "thank you" doesn't seem like enough to describe how wonderful it was. 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 organization. Her dedication is unmatched—she was even there waiting for us at the airport when we returned from our safari! When we realized our initial hotel on Zanzibar wasn’t right for us, she managed to relocate us to the Royal Beach Resort within a single hour. We loved it so much 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 her bright energy! The safari was a dream come true. Our guide, Philipe, was a fantastic expert who made every game drive exciting—we were thrilled to successfully spot all of the Big 5! A true highlight 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, ensuring we felt safe and welcome everywhere we went. If you want a trip where you are treated like family and every detail is handled with love, book with Jessica and her team. We had the time of our lives!

I have already made some trips with the family but the involvement of Le Kobe is really remarkably good. They approached me before all the important moments in the trip via the app to inquire if everything was clear. Super ! Really everything taken care of to perfection. We are very satisfied and recommend them to everyone. 5 stars..... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.....well deserved.

Best experience we could have hope for, Make sure to ask for Dickson, this guide know everything and is the best guide you could hope for.

One-day safari successful thanks to the professionalism of the team. Organization at the top, answers to our quick and precise questions, support and welcome to small care thanks to Simon our permanent contact who immediately put us in confidence. Our choice was for a day in private (we were alone) from Zanzibar (transfer assured). The very comfortable jeep is open for optimal observation, drinks and various snacks at our disposal. Erik our driver guide is simply great, he knows the spaces and above all the animals. His extensive information, his palpable passion for wildlife and the environment, captivated us. He managed the route at the pace of the animals we met, so we saw them all (even the leopard!) and approached them almost solitarily. At each stop nature offered us a show, we were contemplating, sometimes in total silence in front of so much beauty! Thank you Erik for these extraordinary moments that made us want to relive a safari with this agency

I originally booked my trip to Zanzibar independently following some generic online reviews and found myself in a difficult situation with my accommodation and location. I reached out to Simon through a contact in Arusha and he literally saved the day! Simon spung into action and sorted me out with some brilliant trips and got us a reliable driver. We had amazing massages and a fabulous day trip. We did the safari blue with snorkelling, I’ve been before in Zanzibar, but this location for snorkelling was unreal. It was live Finding Nemo. We had a delicious and fresh seafood lunch on the beach and swimming in the lagoon and on the sandbank. If I could turn back time, I’d have booked my whole trip with Simon. It felt like nothing was too much to ask, incredibly reliable and everything was possible.Thank you so much.

LE KOBE Adventures arranged two tours for my family: (1) the one-day tour of Stone Town and (2) a short trip to Prison Island to see the giant tortoises. We had spent a week on the mainland on Safari. The trip to Zanzibar was to recover and enjoy the Indian Ocean. Upon arrival, we were met at the airport by our driver, who took us to Stone Town for the tour of Prison Island. The boat ride over to Prison Island on the small skiff was about 30 minutes. Very enjoyable. To see the giant tortoises was incredible. Our guide Ali also took on a historical tour of the British prison After the trip to Prison Island, the transfer driver returned and took us to our beach resort at Kendra Beach, about a 90 minute drive. We stayed at the beach resort for four nights. On our departure day, a transfer driver picked us up from the hotel and took us to Stone Town for a walking tour of the City. Our guide, Edriza,, was very knowledgeable about Stone Town's history. As Queen fans, he also took us to the Freddy Mercury museum. Following lunch, our transfer driver took us to the airport to begin our journey home. Tip. If there is a porter in the parking lot ... take advantage of his offer for services. Our porter was able to negotiate with the airline check-in agents a place at the front of a check-in line. Well worth his gratuity!

We were picked up by the taxi at 4:30 a.m. in the morning and driven to the airport of the capital. From there we took a small plane to Nyerere National Park. There our guide David took us over for the trip. With the jeep we crisscrossed the park and basically saw everything there is to see. Elephants up close, giraffes, lions, zebra wildebeest , warthogs, hippos, it was a great day, even if it is of course exhausting to be rocked through on these offroad slopes. At noon we got a good meal nicely decorated with all the drinks before at a lake, a breakfast. We were completely happy the evening we got on the plane -an extraordinary great experience Thanks especially to David who gave us a lot of information about the individual animal species and always tried to find the animals in the bushland

Phillip was the best! He’s knowledgeable, friendly, and even brought his guitar to sing to us! He accommodated every request from our group, and his hard work brought us very close to some of the rarest animals! I highly recommend!

Wow! Le Kobe adventures catered to us sooooo much. For one we were super last minute with our bookings and our flights to and from the National parks but they took care of Everything for me! Made my vacation so much easier. Super grateful for them and our tour guide Chris 🫶🏽 Hope to tour with them again when I’m back in Zanzibar!

Only very positive experiences from planning and booking, to transer and accomodation, to food and safari itself. Tour guide Philipo made his best effort in every situation to make sure we were OK and that we had a fantastic safari experience. We saw the big 5, and many more animals thanks to his efforts and willingness to make it happen. We are already looking forward to our next adventure with Philipo and Lekobe.

My husband and I did a four day fly in luxury safari of the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. It was such a dream and better than I expected. Philip was our guide and the was AMAZING! If you are a bird watcher like my husband, Phillip is a great choice because he can spot birds so well and is very knowledgeable. My husband got over a hundred new birds! Philip found every animal we wanted to see, including the big five! We even saw rare animals like the cheetah, leopard and rhino. The land rovers were comfy and they had plenty to drink. The accommodations that were setup were all wonderful. Philip was a great driver and kept an ear to the radio to find any exciting animals, he was extremely helpful and patient. Elvis at LeKobe did a great job planning everything down to the last detail which made it very easy to enjoy the safari.

Highly recommend booking with Le Kobe for your safari from Zanzibar. We couldn't have had a better experience from start to finish. We opted for the private jeep which was definitely worth the splurge to have room to spread out and freedom to move around the jeep and be on the sides with the animals always. We had the absolute best guide, Eric. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and had a sixth sense on where to find them. Twice he was the first truck to locate a pride of lions and a mother and baby elephant so we were the first car there and had the animals all to ourselves before all the other jeeps arrive. This was no accident, Eric truly used his knowledge to search certain areas and find them. We saw every single animal we wanted to (elephants, lions, leopard, crocodile, hippos, zebra, giraffes, wildebeests, gnoe and more). This park is perfect for a day trip because you can see all of these animals in a relatively small area and short time frame. The jeep was very comfortable and with the private jeep we were able to guarantee on open-sided jeep which was our preference. We were provided drinks and snacks in the jeep and the hot buffet lunch at the restaurant was really good. Overall, it couldn't have been a better day and we would happily book with Le Kobe again.

May 2025 • Friends I am not even sure I can properly put into words just how incredible our experience with LeKobe Adventures & Safaris was! To start from the beginning, I heard back almost immediately after inquiring. The communication was clear and quick. Simon helped to set us up with a 3-day Safari itinerary all on an incredibly detailed PDF with pictures. He also drove all the way to the other side of the island to meet us and go over the details the day prior to departing. They booked all the travel and flights. Everything was so smooth. We got picked up at 5am, had 8am flight from Zanzibar and eventually land on the airstrip right in Serengeti which was VERY COOL in itself. Zero issues. Now to my favorite, ALFRED!! Oh my god, we absolutely adored our guide, Alfred :) Top notch human-being. He was so calm and down to earth and absolutely brilliant! It seemed he had unlimited knowledge and passion for the land and wildlife. Not to mention, his incredible driving skills and binocular-eyes for spotting creatures! I honestly had no idea it was the start of the Great Migration when we were there and WOW. The sheer volume of wildlife we encountered was surreal. Literally tens of thousands of Wildebeests, Zebras, various Antelope and Birds, Giraffes, Buffalo, Elephants, Hyenas, Cheetahs, Baboons, Monkeys, Rhinos, Hippos, Tree Hyrax and so many more. We saw at least 40 lions on Day 1. A highlight was finding pride of lounging lions with eight cubs that all lined up for us on (pride) rock lol for pictures. I just know Alfred set this up for us ;) The lodges (Moyo Tented Camp + Ngorongoro Safari Lodge) were so cool. We received the most warm welcome at the Moyo Camp. The meals were all delicious! The flavors! I am drooling just remembering them. I would most definitely recommend trying the Serengeti wines - yum! I also got an incredible massage from my girl, Mary at the Ngorongoro Safari Lodge x magic hands. This was my second safari (I had done Kruger before) but it was my friends first, and I just have to say that the entire experience exceeded all expectations. LeKobe went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time and I can confirm, we most certaintly did just that. We want to come back again with our moms soon :) I would HIGHLY recommend this company for your safari adventures x THANK YOU SO MUCH SIMON, ALFRED, MR HARITH + TEAM FOR THE UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES AND BEST EXPERIENCE WE COULD HAVE ASKED FOR <3

From beginning to end, the safari with LeKobe was the best experience ever. The staff was responsive and catered to all of our special requests. Our accommodations were top notch and our family was very comfortable. Our tour guide was amazing, exceeding our expectations and made sure that we saw everything we wanted. We highly recommend LeKobe Adventures and we use them for all our future tours.

Denise B 14 contributions 0 Sensational 4-Day Safari (Tarangire NP - Serenget NP - Ngorongoro NP from Arusha) Aug 2025 • Family This four-day safari was a unique and unforgettable experience and carried out extremely well planned from organization to execution. Elvis Jeremy planned this safari together with us and was extremely professional, dedicated and extremely helpful in planning, advising and organizing at all times. If you have any questions, he has always provided feedback within a very short time. Just great! Our safari guide Philip is a dedicated and prudent companion and has been in constant contact with his colleagues and has thus enabled us to meet impressive animals. Our expectations were more than exceeded. He is also a very entertaining and good musician. Thank you for these wonderful memories!

Fantastic day out! Amazing location and trip. Everything was planned and organised for us from start to finish. Would highly recommend . Suleman was a great guide

An incredible safari with a driver at the service of his passengers, we really appreciated the care provided by Mathayo and his teams from start to finish. An experience not to be missed, I highly recommend this adventure. Thank you to Mathayo 🦁

This safari was amazing! We saw all big animals. Unfortunately the lions were not showing but the over all experience was so great and totally worth it. We had contact with Elvis and he was fast in reply from both WhatsApp and email from the day we requested the quote till we had arrived back at our hotel in the evening. The driver picked us up exactly 4am and then everything just went by ass we had got the info about. Both the staff at airport, pilot and driver on the safari spoke good English and all super friendly. Would definitely recommend this safari if you are looking for an experience if you lifetime 🤩

We had an incredible 4-day, 3-night safari with LeKobe’s Adventures & Safaris. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. Our airport pick-up was on time and seamless, which set the tone for the entire trip. The accommodations were excellent. Very comfortable, clean, and in beautiful settings. The food throughout the safari was delicious. Our safari Land Cruiser was extremely comfortable and equipped with everything we could possibly need. A special thank you to our guide, Philip. He was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about wildlife. Thanks to him, we were able to see the Big Five and so many other animals up close. He made the experience unforgettable. I traveled with two girlfriends, and we felt completely safe the entire time, even while in the heart of the Serengeti. This trip was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I can’t recommend LeKobe’s Adventures & Safaris enough!

To start with the communication and effort undertaken by Elvis to provide us with the perfect tour was exemplary and filled me with complete confidence. Our safari involved being picked up at our hotel in Zanzibar helped to find the correct desk at the airport by an excellent driver and then flown to the Serengeti where we met our superb and informative guide Efraem. He skilfully drove us around the Serengeti, Ngororongo and Tarangire national parks where we came up close and personal with all the creatures of the parks. It was incredible and completely unforgettable. Efraem totally looked after us and gave us the experience of a lifetime. All the accommodations we stayed in were top notch but we especially loved the night under canvas in the Serengeti, awesome. Elvis and Efraem thankyou so much.
