Great experience, friendly guide and guaranteed fun! - I have to say that this 2 day trip was spectacular. It was to Olduvai Gorge and Ngorongoro Crater. Leo is knowledgeable and friendly and has lots of experience. I have driven all over the world and I can affirm she is a safe and careful driver. This is a boutique safari and you get what you pay for: A customized trip that ensures satisfaction at a great value! Leo checks in with you regularly to make sure you’re happy and enjoying the tour. It’s obviously important to her that her clients are happy with their experience. So if you’re looking for a great value and guaranteed great tour, then book with Leo. My highlight? It was how organized everything was and no disappointments. And of course , the animals. Go Leo!!!

3 day Safari- Serengeti and Ngorogoro crater - I did an incredible three day safari with Leo. We travelled to Serengeti National Park and Ngorogoro crater. Thanks to Leo and her keen eye and thorough knowledge of animals, we were able to see so many animals. Highlights were seeing leopards, cheetahs, black rhinos, lions and elephants close up. Leo keeps the energy high with lots of singing and is full of stories- can’t recommend this enough!

The best safari ever - There is a very good reason using Safari by Leo for our second time in Tanzania. A perfect planning from beginning to the end. A good joy in the jeep bumping around on outback roads watching fantastic animals and scenery in Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire. Leo had a lot of patience and gave us time to watch the animals like we prefer to do it. In combination with cultural visits at a Masai village and school, hunting with a bush tribe early in the morning was very exciting and to visit a school classroom full of lovely energetic and interested children when Leo educated them in the use of menstruation pads was a excellent end of the day. Leo is a very good travel guide and excellent driver with great pondus. We could trust her completely. And she succeded to make every day of our 8 days safari surprising. We warmly recommend Safari by Leo Michael and Evis from Stockholm

Once-in-a-Lifetime Journey Made Unforgettable by Amazing People - Our experience with Safari by Leo was just perfect in every aspect! From the very beginning, when helping us organize the trip we had dreamed of, Charles and Leo have been absolutely amazing. We went on a 10-day trip that felt like a whole month because of everything we saw and experienced. It started in Moshi town and around the foothills of Kilimanjaro with Charles, which was a great introduction to Tanzania. Charles is truly passionate about his country and dedicated to sharing his knowledge and love for it in the best possible way. We then began our safari journey, starting with Lake Natron, which doesn’t seem to be very well known but turned out to be one of the real highlights of our trip. Our safari guide, Joseph, was simply incredible. He shared so much cultural and wildlife knowledge with us, always doing everything possible to make sure we saw as much as we could and had the best time imaginable. We crossed the Serengeti National Park from the northeast to the south, down to Ngorongoro and Tarangire, and that was an amazing choice! We managed to avoid most of the crowds and were lucky enough to witness the animal migration with enormous groups in the north. The diversity of landscapes we traveled through felt absolutely unreal, and it’s just a small glimpse of how vast and beautiful this country is. We chose to stay in mid-range accommodations, and they were far beyond our expectations! Sleeping four nights inside the park in tented lodges surrounded by wildlife was an unforgettable experience. This trip has truly been one of the best moments of our lives, and it’s all thanks to Leo, Charles, and Joseph, who made our adventure more than incredible. Leo and Charles are deeply committed to creating unique and customized experiences for their guests. I more than recommend booking your trip to Tanzania with them, not only because they are excellent at what they do, but also because they are wonderful people, dedicated to sharing their passion and making a positive impact in their community. Once again, Asante Sana and see you next time for new adventures in Tanzania! Quentin & Elise.

Best Safari experience ever! - We had a wonderful experience with Safari by Leo! Our adventure started with a warm airport pickup by Leo and Charles — we were singing and chatting all the way to our hotel. The next four days were spent with our amazing guide, Yusuf, who was incredibly professional, kind, and patient. He truly made the trip unforgettable — he knows all the best spots and ensured we experienced everything the safari had to offer. We’re already looking forward to our next visit to Tanzania! Thank you so much, Yusuf, Charles, and Leo, for making our vacation unforgettable. 🦁🌅

Awesome Safari Adventure Experience With Lady Safari Guide - For my safari adventure I chose Safari By Leo because they were mid ranged price which is the type of accommodations I wanted to stay in and this small but very personable company was able to develop a tour itinerary that catered to my chosen park sites. Leo is one of only a handful of female safari guide drivers in Tanzania while her husband Charles runs the cultural tours and most of the company’s administrative tasks including the excellent communications I had with them in advance of my tour. It turned out that Leo is as capable as any male driver when it came to driving a standard shift safari vehicle through some of the bumpiest roads I’ve ever come across when we were touring through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro areas. She also demonstrated her high skills in spotting wildlife as we were able to see four of the Big Five animals on the first game drive day and got the fifth on day two. Of course we saw many other amazing animals plus two river crossings since I went during the Great Migration season. She also knows her animals as not only was she able to answer any questions I fired at her but she often gave me interesting details of each species we came across as well as other facts about the region. I can tell that Leo was well respected within the safari guide community as she and other guides out in the field communicated regularly with each other throughout our game drives regarding wildlife sightings on the go. Although these were long days, Leo always got us safely back to the various lodges which themselves turned out to be very comfortable accommodations with ensuite private bathrooms. The food at all of the lodges Safari By Leo booked me in was surprisingly good so definitely not camp food. As an added option, I booked a balloon ride through Safari By Leo and it was a very unique and special experience despite the steep cost charged by the balloon operator. I would totally recommend Safari By Leo for any safari adventure in Tanzania and I’m already thinking of doing another one with them again in the future.

Outstanding experience with wonderful guide - This was absolutely one of the best trips I have ever done. I’ve done safaris in South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia, and I think for the variety of landscapes and animal sightings Tanzania was the best. We saw so much in just a few days, including the big five and also cheetahs, which I hadn’t seen on any previous safari. We got very close to most animals including numerous lion prides and one male lion even lay down and rested his head on our car tire. Then came the cultural part of the tour which was the highlight for me - I’ve seen many animals before, but to go on an early morning hunt with one of the last remaining hunter gatherer tribes on earth was something truly special that made me feel a connection to humanity’s deep ancestral past. The food and accommodation was all great, and I cannot say enough nice things about Leo - she is a fantastic guide who is knowledgeable, skilled, friendly, and just lovely to be around. She is excellent at finding the animals and we would not have seen a third of what we saw if we had tried to self drive this tour (and we would no doubt have got lost a few times 😄 ). Overall, if you want a full safari experience combined with a dive into rare cultures that could be gone in a few generations, you cannot do better than this trip.

A Safari Like No Other – Incredible Wildlife & an Inspiring Guide - Our 4-day safari in Tanzania was truly unforgettable! We saw so many incredible animals—including all of the Big Five—and even got to run alongside the Great Migration. The landscapes were breathtaking, and every day felt like a new adventure. But what made this trip extra special was our amazing guide, Leo. Leo isn’t just any safari guide—she’s one of the few female guides in Tanzania, and you can tell right away how passionate and experienced she is. She knows the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire like the back of her hand and has an incredible instinct for where to be at the right time. Thanks to her, we had some unbelievable wildlife encounters, from watching a pride of lions up close to spotting leopards and rhinos. But beyond being an expert guide, Leo is also doing incredible work empowering women and giving back to her community. She’s actively creating opportunities for women in the safari industry, which is still very male-dominated, and hearing her story was truly inspiring. Everything about the trip was so well-organized. The accommodations were beautiful and perfectly located, and I really appreciated how thoughtful everyone was about my vegan diet. The first three days were all about wildlife, and then on the last day, we visited four different Tanzanian tribes. Spending time with them was an eye-opening experience, but the absolute highlight was going hunting with the Hadza—something I’ll never forget! If you’re looking for a safari that’s more than just seeing animals, but also about connecting with the people, culture, and conservation efforts in Tanzania, I can’t recommend Leo enough. She’s an incredible guide, an inspiring leader, and the reason this trip was so special. Hands down, the adventure of a lifetime!
