Once in a lifetime experience
My beach safari experience with Wito was incredible! Every person we encountered was so kind. Abdullie and Jenna were fantastic with arranging and planning all of our adventures.As well as Jenna for being there through all of our adventures and answering all of my random questions. Our tour guide and drive Tony was phenomenal! He was very knowledgeable and funny and a joy to be with for all of our drives. This was a once in a lifetime experience that I would highly recommend to anyone!

Wito takes care of you and surrounds you with the kindest people
My safari with Wito was absolutely incredible, amazing, life changing and so much more. Every single aspect of the trip was planned for our group, we didn’t have to lift a finger or do anything except be up at the time they told us. My trip with host Jenna was amazing. She was so kind and knowledgeable about Tanzania and the wildlife. Our safari guide Tony was also incredibly knowledgeable as well. He had answers to all our questions whether they were about animals or the nations culture. Abdullie helped with all the initial booking and was available at any time if I had questions and also did a really good job hyping up the Ngorongoro crater which was AMAZING he was right. This is a 10 out 10 experience.

Incredible African Adventure
Wito was incredible from start to finish on my trip to Tanzania/Rwanda/Uganda. I had some travel issues with delayed flights on my way over from the states and Abdullie kept in contact with me throughout the process, assuring they would continue to monitor my progress and assist anyway possible. I managed to make it, but without my bag. They stayed in touch with the airline and managed to get my bag to our hotel before we left for safari. The whole trip was well organized and our local safari guides in Tanzania and Rwanda/Uganda were amazing. We had so many incredible experiences in the multiple parks of Tanzania. The Serengeti was unforgettable. The Golden Monkeys in Rwanda and the Gorillas in Uganda were a life long dream to experience and Wito made it happen in beautiful fashion. Thank you for an incredible life changing experience!

Trusting, Genuine Organization
I am writing on behalf of myself and husband to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible trip to Rwanda and Tanzania Africa that our agency, WITO Africa Safaris organized for us. It was an experience beyond compare and we are filled with appreciation for the meticulous planning and attention to detail that went into making it such a memorable experience.
From the moment of our first contact with Abdullie to inquire about the trip until our closure telephone meeting at the end of the adventure, every aspect of this experience was handled with professionalism and care. The itinerary Abdullie crafted was perfectly tailored to our interests allowing us to explore breathtaking landscapes of Kigali so well kept and so safe for travelling. We got to experience Kigali Genocide Memorial and learn more about the atrocities 30 years ago and witness the transformation of the Rwandan people to what is now a very peaceful forgiving country. Our guide Bosco provided us valuable insights and recommendations to addressing any questions or concerns. His professionalism and dedication were truly commendable. A wonderful, warm loving human being.
The Volcanoes National Park and the amazing gorilla trekking adventure was a lifetime memory. The outstanding experience in the jungle through dense natural forests where you encounter families of endangered Mountain Gorillas was a highlight and a must to see.
Another highlight was travelling to Tanzania to the Ngorongoro Crater a UNESCO World Heritage Site where we witnessed an abundance of wildlife including the famous Big Five on our wildlife safari. We witnessed and had the privilege of witnessing Africa’s magnificent creatures in natural habitats. It was humbling and unforgettable experience especially viewing the circle of life. Our naturalist guide Michael was a wealth of knowledge and information on all aspects of our safari experience, and we were sad to say goodbye. A professional gentleman with a great deal of passion for what he does.
In sum, our journey to Africa exceeded all expectations to the exceptional service and expertise of Wito Africa Safaris. We returned home with our hearts, souls and eyes full of cherished memories and a profound appreciation for the beauty and diversity of our world.
We wholeheartedly recommend Wito Africa Safaris to all our family and friends.

Unforgettable Tanzanian photo safari
The July photo safari with Wito Africa was an epic, week-long trip that traversed Lake Manyara, the Central and Northern Setengeti, Ndutu and the Ngorongoro conservation area. It was a difficult trip covering long distances. It was made possible by the excellent guides Alfeo, Rogathi and Edson. The photo hosts Karolina and Craig made it very very special with their commitment to mentoring a group with a diverse level of knowledge in photography . Abdullie was always prompt and precise with regard to any questions we had. Above all, we as a group of people from different countries and continents, felt like family from start to finish. All the guests felt confident about the reliability of Wito Africa which was put to the test on more than one occasion. Overall, I would not hesitate to travel with Wito Africa again

Top notch organization
I’m a Brazilian photographer that went to Africa for the first time with Wito. Since the beginning, they were extremely helpful with all the paperwork concerning my flights, itinerary, visas, and any other questions i had.
They were always on top of everything during the flights, asking if anyone had any trouble, trying to solve delayed flights, and any other concern.
During the trip, we had no problems whatsoever. The cars were amazing and well equipped, the drivers knew what they were doing, and all the lodges were lovely. Karolina and Craig, the hosts, were amazing!! Karolina was a great teacher regarding photography while Craig was a great teacher regarding animal behaviour. They work very well together and complement each other perfectly !
I stayed in Tanzania for the great migration with them for a full week, and then head to Rwanda and Uganda by myself, through Wito as well.
Again, they were always checking up on me, and the driver. Everything was quite organized and I had a wonderful experience.
The only thing i would perhaps change, would be staying a little longer in one or two places for some rest. It was a lot of driving, so a little bit rushed, but would definitely recommend doing it either way! We covered so much ground in very few days. Totally worth it!
Thanks everyone that made this life changing experience happen, and I will definitely go back!
10/10 ✨

Bosco was friendly and knowledgeable and an excellent off road driver!
I loved that Abdullie from Wito Africa Safari took care of everything. From the moment we arrived in Tanzania to when we left we were taken care of. Didn’t have to think about anything. Our tour guide Bosco was there to pick us up and take us on safaris . He was friendly and knowledgeable and a very safe driver. Beautiful hotels with all the amenities were booked for us, we are beyond pleased with the whole trip. We felt safe at all times.

Abdullie and his team were simply wonderful to work with.
We started working with Abdullie to create our itinerary 2 years ago. Our original plan was to visit Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania, however due to covid we decided to visit only Tanzania this year. We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, the Northern Serengeti and the Central Serengeti.
Every aspect of our safari was so well planned, and the accommodations were lovely.
We had two guides during the duration of our trip, Michael and Juma. Both guides were not only extremely knowledgeable, but so personable and were just as excited to see things as we were, and they were so patient (we had a lot of questions!).
It was great to hear how much they knew about the wildlife and the areas, but we really enjoyed getting to know them as individuals.
To say Michael’s knowledge of birds was amazing would be an understatement. My husband would quickly describe a bird he saw to Michael and he would be able to tell us the type of bird and explain it to us. On top of that, he would always show us in the book and explain further.
Juma’s knowledge of the areas we were in were just astonishing. Sometimes I wondered where we were driving (not that I would have known anyway!), or what we were waiting for, but Juma was always a step ahead. On our last day in the Central Serengeti he drove us further out, and didn’t stop searching for male lions as those were the one big cat we hadn’t seen. Sure enough, Juma found us 3 male lions together!! The best part? We were the ONLY car there, so we were able to spend as much time watching them.
Abdullie and his team were available at all times…even with the time difference, Abdullie answered my emails and texts so quickly, regardless of the time. We really appreciated the communication between the team: Abdullie checking in on us, Michael connecting with Juma when we were changing locations, and vice versa. They just worked so well as a team…it wasn’t as if one individual knew something that the others didn’t, they were all in the communication loop.
We truly loved every aspect of our trip. There isn’t anything we would change. Abdullie was so patient with me throughout the whole planning phase (believe me, I know I’m not the easiest person to work with!), always quickly responding to my numerous emails and questions. Michael and Juma ensured we saw everything we wanted to, and spent as much or as little time viewing the animals as we wanted. In Tarangire there were elephants everywhere, and since Michael knew how much I loved elephants, he would point them out and stop EVERY SINGLE TIME we spotted them (which was quite often lol), and he would just stop and wait until I had gotten enough of watching them.
We saw several river crossings in the Northern Serengeti because Juma was determined to have us watch as many as we could.
Everything throughout our trip was seamless. Would we work with Abdullie and Wito Africa Safaris again? Well, we have the second part of our trip booked for next year already and it wouldn’t be with anyone else! The amount of time Abdullie and his team put into creating the perfect itinerary for you really shows.
I realize this is an extensive review, however this is short compared to how much more I wanted to write about Abdullie and his team, and our trip in general.
I highly recommend anyone who is looking to plan their safari, to just get in touch with Wito…I guarantee from the first response you receive from Abdullie you’ll feel like he’s a friend who just wants to plan the perfect trip for you. You won’t regret it!

We had a wonderful safari, seamlessly executed
We had an incredible time on safari in Kenya. Despite COVID complicating things, Wito arranged everything so it was incredibly easy (including a covid test on a game drive in the bush) for us to have a wonderful time on our honeymoon from the moment we arrived in Kenya. We stayed on a private conservancy with a couple of trips into the Mara for a hot air balloon and day of game drives. It was terrific to both see the Mara in all its glory and intimacy of game drives on a private conservancy, seeing wildlife up close all on your own.
The special touches along the way at both the hotel in Nairobi and on Safari made the trip so memorable.
Daniel and team were so welcoming and answered all of our questions, making our travel enjoyable and stress free.

Incredible!
My experience with Wito was incredible! Everyone I worked with at the company was incredibly helpful and patient. Wito helped design our safari trip from the ground up and helped with planning and answering questions every step of the way. Every aspect of our safari experience with Wito exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend working with Wito!
